The property is well situated for exploring the Hadrian's Wall and Kielder Water areas.. The owner was very helpful in providing his garage as a place to store our bikes. Very nice property with lovely wooden beams and decor, but with one or two minor niggles. The property is largely lovely, but the temperature inside is very inconsistent because of issues with doors. There is no kitchen door and the dining table is right by the open doorway, next to the front door. This means it is a cold and draughty place to eat (though it would be fine in summer). The lounge door also does not quite close as there seems to be an issue with the hinges, which makes it a bit hard to heat in the evening. By contrast the upstairs rapidly overheats and can easily be too warm to sleep unless you remember to turn the upstairs radiators off early enough. I would suggest that the owner fits a kitchen door and attends to the hinges on the lounge door; apart from the comfort of the guests I suspect this would result in a substantial saving in heating costs. There is a wood burning stove in the lounge which would probably make the lounge warm even with the door problem, but not being familiar with how to use one I did not attempt to. Anyway fixing the door would render it largely unnecessary.

Dunkirk cottage was perfect.. Beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, very warm. A welcome basket with bread, butter, milk , jam & marmalade was a lovely welcoming gesture. The cottage was extremely well situated for visiting all the main Roman Sites. Perfect

A smashing cottage in a decent spot for exploring Northumberland.. For example, if you are interested in Hadrian's Wall you have the perfect spot to start following it both ways. Some decent little pubs/hotels in the surrounding villages with the larger Hexham and Corbridge close by, lovely places, full of history. I have visited Northumberland/County Durham many times, stayed all over and I must say this cottage is up there with the best for comfort etc. and location. Recommended.

We absolutely love Dunkirk Cottages - very comfortable accommodation with excellent facilities (good WIFI, connected Smart TV, high quality bedding, everything you could need in the kitchen).. A real home from home.

This was a fantastic cottage, very comfortable and the first cottage to provide decent WiFi and smart television facilities.. Further research by us would have revealed no rear garden, disappointing as there’s nowhere for the kids to play outside. The small stone terrace with a table and chairs on the front does not justify a “garden” in my opinion. This stone terrace also happens to be a few metres from an unrestricted A road, and the traffic flies past at ridiculous speeds making it very noisy inside the house at times. A fantastic property let down by its location and lack of garden.

Well equipped would recommend..

1 Dunkirk Cottage was an excellent well equipped & comfortable cottage.. A nice Welcome Tray of Milk, Butter, Bread, Tea, Coffee etc was a lovely bonus. The only downside was not enough garden area to sit outside and enjoy a drink or eats. There was easy access to all the places we wanted to visit on our holiday.

We went in to Northumberland in very cold weather although the cottage was warm enough.. Its location is on a main road and the traffic noise could be a distraction particularly in warmer weather with the windows open.
