The cottage was nice and clean, nicely equipped and in a lovely, peaceful location. There were nice views from the lane and the footpath behind the property. They were very welcoming and even made me a cake and left me a pint of milk when I arrived. It is a good base to explore Northumberland. The historic town of Hexham, Derwent Reservoir, all the best preserved parts of Hadrian's Wall and its associated forts and castles, and the Roman Town of Corbridge, are all an easy drive away.

The Barn Cottage is a lovely, clean, well equipped and furnished holiday home, well car4ed for by the owners.. The location 'away from the maddening crowds', with views of the country side and the farm's sheep from inside the cottage, access to great walking country and clear night skys for star gazing from the patio, provided a much needed opportunity to really wind down and relax.The internet connection is excellent should you need it and sitting in front of the log burner was really someting to look forward to after (the we cake was a real treat after a hard day's walking!). Would definitely recommended this property to those with and without dogs.

On arrival at the property, the owner met us with a warm welcome and ready to answer any questions we had along with a welcome homemade chocolate cake.. The property itself was outstanding with so many additional features. The only items we needed were clothes and food as everything seemed to be provided and catered for. We will definitely have a return visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our few days stay at the cottage.. We found it to be the perfect escape from the general hustle and bustle of life in the suberbs! We received a warm welcome to a very comfortable and well maintained property. The facilities were good and we were further assured that if we needed anything, we only had to ask. The views of the surrounding countryside are stunning, and there is plenty to explore in the local area. Would definitely visit again.

Mr Gartrell

My wife and I rented this exceptional property for a week in June.. On arrival we found the property to be spotlessly clean and easy to operate. The kitchen was well-equipped with modern appliances. There was a fridge of sufficient size to accommodate a week’s fresh groceries. The gas cooker hob was highly efficient and the electric oven was pristine – always a good sign. In the utility room there was a freezer with a washing machine and tumble dryer – ideal for those intending to stay for more than a week. The spacious living room had a comfortable settee and chair. There was supplementary lighting which meant it was easy to read after dark. There was a wood burning stove but we didn’t need to use it in June. The kind owners had provided us with a huge basket of logs if we wanted to make use of it. The dining area had a table with four chairs – as with the rest of the house this furniture was top quality and in keeping with the rustic theme. The bed rooms were relatively spacious with plenty of storage. Linens were of a very good quality and we found the bed to be perfect for a quality sleep. It was a sheer delight to wake each morning with a sumptuous view over the rolling hills, without any other sounds than bird song. The shower in the bathroom was particularly powerful and there was always plenty of hot water. The property also had a toilet downstairs – a useful feature for a larger group of guests. Wi-Fi is strong and reliable. There were many features of this property which indicated the care and thought the owners have given to ensure the well being of guests. There is a selection of DVDS and leaflets about things to do in the local area. We were welcomed to the property with a large sponge cake which was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed our visit to Northumbria immensely, with its opportunities to visit traditional villages and towns. We did lots of touring in the hills – there is so much to do, especially for those interested in nature and history. The owners are to be commended for providing such an attractive and cosy holiday cottage. My wife and I have stayed in a huge number of self catering properties over the years and this is without doubt one of the very best. I would recommend this property to anyone wishing to visit this gorgeous area.
