There were a few things in the kitchen we would have appreciated but were not there.. ie:- serving dishes, Medium sized dish for cooking a fruit crumble/cottage pie in, A toast rack, A tray, Meat platter would have been nice but not essential. Washing-up bowl, (we bought one and left it there ) And a rail or hooks in the kitchen for the towel and tea towels etc. Otherwise we found it very well equipped.

The Old Farmhouse met all our expectations.. It is in a lovely location with beautiful views across to the Cheviots. The accommodation is spacious and very well equipped. It provides brilliant facilities for every age group. Our 20 month grandaughter slept very well here and she loved running around in the safe private garden. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and staying at The Old Farmhouse as well as the sun shining were definitely the two major factors to our holidays success!

One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in.

The Old Farmhouse was amazing; tastefully decorated and everything you could want or need was there, any other random requests were granted by the attentive hosts. It was a true home from home experience, in a stunning part of the country. There was ample room for everyone, 3 generations of my family all happy and comfortable. With 2 large reception rooms there was no getting under each others feet and no 'dancing' outside the bathroom as there are 3 toilets. The bedding was luxurious and all the appliances are good quality. This is an ideal base for visiting the many attractions that Northumberland has to offer. There are lots of leaflets and guide books in the house to give you ideas, the owners have a wealth of local knowledge to share too. There are well looked after gardens front and back, with patio furniture and a BBQ if the weather is nice too. Thank you to the owners for helping to make my 50th birthday celebrations as memorable as they were.

The old farmhouse was amazing, tastefully decorated, everything you could want or need was there, any other random requests were granted by the attentive hosts Jimpy and Sandy, they even gave us a pheasant and cooking instructions! It was a true home from home experience, in a stunning part of the country. There was ample room for everyone, I thought we just had a large house for the 2 of us to rattle around in until 5 of my precious family turned up to surprise me! 3 generations of my family all happy and comfortable. My daughters and my dad particularly appreciated having wifi. With 2 large reception rooms there was no getting under each other’s feet, no 'dancing' outside the bathroom as there are 3 toilets. The bedding was luxurious, all the appliances are good quality. 2 bottles of wine and a large box of chocolates and fresh flowers on arrival all added to making us feel special. I mentioned to Jimpy that I run, Sandy came round the next morning with their adorable black lab Stanley and drove me around a few routes and gave me advice on where I was safe to run, which was everywhere really.. I had 4 runs during the week, different distances and terrains, and lots of wildlife to see and talk to, although only the lambs talked back!! This is an ideal base for visiting the many attractions that Northumberland has to offer. There are lots of leaflets and guide books in the house to give you ideas, Jimpy and Sandy have a wealth of local knowledge to share too. There is a fishmonger who calls on Friday mornings, the smoked salmon is just yummy.. There is are well looked after gardens front and back, with patio furniture and a bbq if the weather is nice too. We had a look in the cottage too, which is also beautifully decorated, it has 2 large bedrooms and can be rented with the big house for larger groups of people. I would recommend either of these properties to everyone. Thank you to Jimpy and Sandy for helping to make my 50th birthday celebrations as memorable as they were, I even had a birthday card off them, nothing was too much trouble.

We can only say good things about our stay. Our hosts were excellent and very friendly and helpful. The children especially loved Stanley the cheeky black Labrador. The farmhouse was an excellent size and finished to a very high standard. We wanted for nothing during our stay. Our 3 year old Jack still keeps asking "when can we go back to holiday home?"

As a family group we thought that this cottage was fantastic.. The owners were very nice, extremely welcoming and helpful. We would love to stay here again and would also recommend it to anybody.

CHRISTINE B

A beautifully thought out and well presented cottage in a country setting on a working farm. It had everything you would need for a more than comfortable stay; in addition was the very warm welcome and friendliness of the owners. Lots of interesting places to visit from small villages to larger castles and gardens. The beaches are stunning and not crowded. People in general were very friendly. The owners of the farm are always happy to help out and tell you of good places to eat and visit.

Mrs Blyth

This was a fantastic holiday. The Old Farmhouse was beautiful in a beautiful location. The landlord and landlady were charming and interested in giving us a wonderful time. We loved the swallows who shared the farm with us and we loved the trips around the farm with the farmer. The accommodation was impeccable in every respect. The Northumbrian coast and countryside were glorious. This was a fabulous holiday - we'd love to go back.
