    “It was a lovely, cosy welcoming cottage in a brilliant location central to lots of wonderful sights of interest.”

    We have been to Northumberland 5 times and this was the best cottage. The decor was homely and it was very well furnished with comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped and a joy to cook in. We were very comfortable there. A couple of very small issues for the owners attention include: •There was no cutlery holder in the dishwasher •The leaflets could be more up to date (one was from 2016) • There were no teaspoons!

    We have been to Northumberland 5 times and this was the best cottage. The decor was homely and it was very well furnished with comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped and a joy to cook in. We were very comfortable there. A couple of very small issues for the owners attention include: •There was no cutlery holder in the dishwasher •The leaflets could be more up to date (one was from 2016) • There were no teaspoons! We had to buy some. We left them in the cottage for others. • for the cost of the cottage the welcome pack could have been a little more extensive and exciting! We note that others had a welcome hamper years ago! We really liked Lesbury village. We supported the community shop which we thought was a great initiative. Unfortunately The Coach House was shut for renovation, otherwise we would have supported them as well. We highly recommend The Hope and Anchor in Alnmouth - fantastic Italian food and friendly staff. We would definitely return to Willlow Cottage and recommend to friends. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

    Thanks for the lovely feedback - we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. The dishwasher has a specific cutlery drawer at the top which pulls out. This is where all the teaspoons were hiding! Thank you so much for buying more though - it's very kind of you. We plan to put a sign on the dishwasher so people know the drawer is there in the future. The Welcome Pack is a difficult issue - it's tricky to know what to include when people have different dietary requirements and when most people arrive with all they need, or have a supermarket delivery soon after arrival. There is often some wastage. Having considered your comments, we thought we would try offering vouchers for the Community Shop instead of a welcome pack. That way, people can buy what they need/want - and we are supporting the community shop too. We hope future guests will think this is a good way forward. The Coach Inn is due to re-open in the next few days, with a refurbished kitchen and a great new menu. The village is very much looking forward to it! I will do my best to source up to date leaflets ASAP. We hope to welcome you back to Willow Cottage in the near future and thank you for recommending it to your friends. Property Owner
