Had a great time here, found the host to be friendly and helpful.. Recommend this cottage for a good base for exploring the beautiful county of Northumberland, the icing on the cake would be the pub across the road being open, however, I believe it will be soon. we had some nice walks from the cottage into Allendale and found a great pub with fabulous food The Kings Head. we would not hesitate in recommending Dale View and will return when we next visit the area.
