“Fantastic pet friendly house with huge rooms.”

Kitchen well equipped and great centre of the house. The house was secure for us to leave the back door open for our Tessi ( Westie) Totally recommended and the village of Allendale is brilliant with two pubs and three cafe. The co-op is great for the odd items. The river walk is so good our dog loved it Hexham is 10 miles away and is a large town to shop both food and gifts.

“This is a lovely, spacious cottage which was very comfortable for our short stay.”

The kitchen is huge, welcoming and well equipped. We spent most of our social time chatting round the table. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The location of the property is great: metres from the centre of Allendale and a very short distance from a lovely walk along the river.

“The cottage is in a great location and very comfortable.”

The so called back yard with seating was dark and to be fair a bit untidy .The front windows were cracked and also a bit a bit of attention but i have to say we had a great time at the cottage well worth the a visit in a totally unspoilt part of our country the allendales are a part of northumberland well worth visiting

- Dennis Louis, September 2023
Richard June 2023

“Lovely property.”

Huge rooms and huge beds, and a nice welcome pack. We went in Summer so didn't need the fire but in winter that would be lovely. The village is great including one of the oldest Co-ops in the country, run and owned by the village. There's a lovely river walk direct from the property where we spotted two owls on our first night. A great base to explore inland Northumbria, Hadrian's Wall and Hexham.

“Our 3rd stay here.”

Yet again it was so clean and tidy. Everything you need is supplied. We love staying here and it was nice coming earlier in the year and we were so lucky with the weather. The village is great and welcoming. Butchers and Co op have everything you need. Lovely cafes in the village and great Indian within walking distance. Fabulous walks from the doorstep. Brilliant.

“Excellent handy position for exploring the countryside around Hadrians Wall, having local amenities around the village square was also perfect as we always forget something!”

Regrettably the local pubs were not serving food a post Covid / staffing problem. Cottage extremely cosy well appointed and the six foot bed ensured a goods night rest. We Would recommend the property and location and will return at some point for another stay.

“This is the second time we have stayed at the Hare and Hounds house.”

We definitely weren't disappointed that we went back. The house is beautiful and clean. The beds are very comfy. We will be coming back for a 3rd time later on in the year

“What a cosy and clean cottage.”

We stayed with 6 adults and we had a great week. Nice that owner left a card and snacks. They even put a xmas tree up for us and left the outside light on for our arrival. Really handy the 3 toilets. Only downside was that we only had 2 pans in kitchen would have been better if there had been a few more. We would really recommend this lovely property to friends and family. Thankyou for a beautiful stay.

- Sharon, December 2022

Thanks for the kind feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay. Noted regarding additional pans which we’ll arrange for a few more to be included. Property Owner

“The house was absolutely amazing,we all had a fantastic stay.”

Very clean, it had everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable,I had the best night's sleep in a long time. The property owner informed us as an issue with the kitchen tap which was very helpful and it wasn't much of an issue. It didn't stop us using it. Infact it was so amazing we are coming back in march with my parents. We have so many more walks we want to do.

“An excellent holiday as always in Allendale and the accommodation is first class.”

“Back from another holiday staying at The Hare and Hounds.”

This is our 2nd stay here and highly recommend it. The house is immaculate and very well equipped. Very cosy. Lovely welcome hamper waiting for us on arrival which was much appreciated. Jason is a great host and on hand if needed. It is so close to centre of Allendale which has well stocked shops and an excellent butcher's shop. There is a new cafe this year which was busy. The village has so many walks from it which is great and the favourite for us was the river walk as our dog could be loose there. Local cafes and other places to eat which are very good. Hopefully back next year.

- Fiona, September 2022
Sarah August 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Hare and Hounds House.”

It was in a perfect location for us in Allendale and had everything we needed during our stay. The property guide was really useful but we definitely failed on getting the fire going! We'd definitely stay here again.

Kirsty August 2022

“Beautiful and comfy cottage which was even nicer than pics.”

Great location in the village with shops and places to eat within close walking distance. Well appointed kitchen, fab beds, felt cozy and safe. A great place to stay to visit Hexham, Vindolanda and beyond.

- Kirsty, August 2022
Michael May 2022

“Overall excellent - lovely old cottage.”

Very comfortable. Loved the super king-size bed. Good wi-fi and parking right outside. Friendly neigbours. Just a couple of minor points: The outside patio area could be cleaned up a bit. The remote controls for TV and Freesat don't work very well - possibly new batteries required.

- Michael, May 2022
Anna March 2022

“Beautiful property, felt like a home”

Victoria March 2022

“This cottage is one of the nicest holiday homes I’ve stayed in!”

A lovely, well equipped kitchen with knives that actually cut! Cosy sitting room with a selection of games. The beds are very comfortable and the cottage is super-warm. It’s very convenient for the local pubs and shops. It is a drive to other areas, but we noticed a fairly regular bus service into Hexham. Parking was easy in the village, as well as right outside the cottage. I wish all cottages were like this one. The ‘yarden’ is fairly small and also gives access to the neighbouring house, but at least gives an outside area to the cottage. If I were visiting this area again, I’d happily stay again!

- Victoria, March 2022
Deirdre February 2022

“Enjoyed a great break at Hare & Hounds House.”

The house is very comfortable and well appointed. Despite a mixed bag of weather the house was lovely and cosy. Very dog friendly too. It is ideally located for exploring the countryside - some super walks from the door step. Parking either at the door but plentiful parking just across the road at town square. Would happily recommend Hare & Hounds House.

- Deirdre, February 2022
Katy February 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Hare and Hounds Cottage, what a fantastic location and a really warm spacious house to come back to through out of the winter winds.”

Even the hooting early morning owl was such a pleasure. Thank you for a great stay Jason.

Robert December 2021

“Fabulous property, really spacious and very clean.”

The kitchen was large and was well equipped. The cottage was lovely and warm and the log burners were an additional treat. The bedrooms were comfortable. The only little niggle we had was we were not able to fill up the bath as the water pressure was to slow and wasn't very hot. Everything else was perfect and look forward to staying here again. The village of Allendale was lovely and there are a couple of pubs and some small shops and some nice walks around, great for the dog.

- Robert, December 2021
Gwyneth November 2021

“Beautiful house which was so clean and cosy with a great equipped kitchen.”

- Fiona, September 2021
Hilary September 2021

“Lovely cottage in a great location.”

Beds were very comfortable and decor of cottage was lovely and peaceful. Just a couple of things that we think would make it even better - Better lighting in bathrooms. Also we had to request more pots which were promptly delivered. Also lack of teapot- we left one there for the next hirers! Thank you to Jason!

Helen July 2021

“We loved our stay.”

Lovely cottage .. Kitchen was especially fab. Very pet friendly at the cottage & the village pubs plus really lovely walks. The only thing that would make the cottage better would be some nice plants in the containers .. would just make sitting outside a little bit nicer .. and maybe a small barbecue that could be fired up on a sunny. Overall a lovely cottage and a very enjoyable holiday

- Helen, July 2021
Rachel July 2021

“We loved Allendale such a cute little village.”

Amanda June 2021

“Overall a nice cottage, some changes could make it more comfortable, the second bedroom mattress was not good .”

Needed more crockery and also the small sofa too low for anyone over 40. Small things ,but could have improved the holiday, Lovely area though we enjoyed it very much.

- Amanda, June 2021

Thanks for the feedback which is alway welcome. Additional crockery is now in the kitchen and we’ve replaced the mattress in the second bedroom with a new memory foam one - feedback since this was replaced has been very positive. Property Owner
Carol May 2021

“Beautiful cottage, Lots of character, hard to keep an even temperature though.”

My son slept in the double room without the en suite, he commented that the mattress was thin/rather uncomfortable, so maybe time for a new one. The main room had a good quality mattress, so an upgrade due in the double? On the whole though a lovely stay in a quality cottage

- Carol, May 2021
Victoria April 2021

“We usually head to the Lakes for a cottage break but stumbled across this little gem.”

Such a lovely village with great walks for the dogs, friendly neighbours and village pubs. We couldn't have asked for much more, a clean, well furbished and spacious property - the basket of treats when we arrived was especially thoughtful. We have already recommended to our friends and family.

- Victoria, April 2021

Peter September 2020

“It was a fantastic holiday as Allendale and surrounding areas are exceptional.”

Some excellent walks in the area and the town is well served by pubs/restaurants as well as a good old fashioned butchers that serves all your needs. The accommodation was first class, exceptionally clean and comfortable/cosy. The real fire in addition to the central heating is a bonus. The owner was on hand if required. A basket of goodies to meet us on arrival was a nice touch. Already booked for next year and cannot wait.

- Peter, September 2020
Nicola September 2020

“Cottage is lovely and cosy and really big as well.”

Bedrooms are really roomy and the super king in the main room is really comfy to sleep in. Set in a little village with a few pubs. Really pretty surroundings and a great base to explore Northumberland. Host was lovely and even sent a text to let us know the property was ready and gave us a few pub recommendations which we tried and enjoyed. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet place to relax and explore and just chill out. Great break.

- Nicola, September 2020
Lynda August 2020

“Lovely accommodation situated in friendly village.”

Pubs, shops and walks. Recommend the Golden Lion and Anna the local beauticians who offers a range of professional treatments. Hare and Hounds is spacious and well equipped to a high standard. Very comfortable for our party of 6. Thank you to the owner , who lives next door for a friendly service. Only a small comment, if your dogs are anything like ours, they missed a patch of grass in the small stone yard (garden). Look forward to returning to this lovely area.

“The cottage exceeded expectations.”

The living room was larger than expected and very comfortable. There were many walks and places to visit nearby and the village had a well stocked local store as well as pubs, tea rooms and cafe with artists studios. The cottage was clean and warm with comfortable beds and pillows. The owners delivered a tasty home cooked meal on our last evening for a relatively low charge. We loved it so much we have booked for next year.

“Hare and Hounds House is a great base for a holiday.”

The house is just as good as it looks in the pictures. The bedrooms are all huge and the beds very comfortable. There was plenty of room for 4 adults, a toddler and a big dog and the kitchen is well-equipped. The only thing we missed was some scales for weighing dog food. Parking was very easy in the square or outside the house and there are lots of places nearby to exercise the dog. Allendale is a lovely village with a handy shop and good pubs. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Peter March 2019

“The accomodation was very spacious and even with three dogs we did not get under each others feet.”

The bedrooms were large with great bathroom facilities. The location just to the edge of the main squar was very handy for the local convienience store and local pubs, which were all very different from each other. The river walk was very nice and also the five mile trip to Allen Banks and great walks. Fantatic undy Roast up in the next village of Catton and a exceptional Indian Restaurant at Allen Mills. All in all a perfect choice that met and exceeded out needs.

All are beautifully styled, and well-appointed for the very homely family bathroom which also provides a handheld shower.
