This is a very well equipped house with good proportions. Worked really well for us as a group of nine. Very easy to get onto main roads in the area.

An excellent cottage and probably one of the favourite ones Ive stayed in this year. My family and friends had a great time and the dog loved the enclosed front and back garden.

A clean and comfortable cottage in a great location to explore both the Northumbrian countryside and Newcastle City centre. Could do with a bit of updating, the showers were particularly disappointing. The property is semi detached which is not clear in the photographs on the website.
