“Brilliant cottage everything you needed central to everything in Northumberland”

Stephen September 2024

“A lovely cottage my 2nd stay here and wouldn't hesitate in booking again well equipt,clean and homely cottage”

- Stephen, September 2024
Diane September 2024

“Lovely very well equipped place to stay in a great area with so much to do.”

Would love to stay again next year. Very helpful nice owners.

- Diane, September 2024
Lindsay September 2024

“Very well equipped.”

You dont need to pack soap or blankets or anything. Very clean and not far from most of the sites and shops etc so a good base for your holiday. Only downside was it's bath over shower rather than a walk in but does come with bath matts. Harder to reccomend to older family members which is the reason for mentioning as it was quite a drop out of it. The shower itself was high pressure and lovely. You could walk out the courtyard to a grassy lane with a dog poo bin which I was impressed with. Great cottage in a great location.

- Lindsay, September 2024
Andrew August 2024

“Great property, and good location for getting out and about.”

Contact prior ( key information), during ( we randomly met on first evening at nearby pub and got chatting) , and afterwards ( I left an item) was a breeze.

- Andrew, August 2024
Helen August 2024

“One of the best cottages that we have stayed in.”

It was spotless, well equipped and in a perfect location for visiting this beautiful area. Definitely deserves 5+ stars.

- Helen, August 2024
Catherine July 2024

“The cottage was lovely - really comfy beds, nice powerful shower, very well-equipped kitchen and dog friendly!”

The pint of milk, biscuits and some dog treats on arrival was a lovely touch, and much needed after a long drive! Thank you very much.

- Catherine, July 2024
Louise June 2024

“The Mistral is a lovely property, very well equipped and set in a lovely village with beautiful countryside on your door step.”

The kitchen had everything you could possibly need! I have fallen in love with the area and will be back. My only negative involves the wheelie bins which were full when we arrived, were not emptied during the week long stay and then when we added our rubbish they became overfull. I know this is down to refuse collection and not the cottage owners, but still a smelly issue that could do with addressing.

- Louise, June 2024
Ian June 2024

“A very well finished, furnished & presented property in a location ideally placed to provide a base for visiting a very large part of the far north.”

We may well be returning to Northumberland in a couple of years or so & will certainly look to use The Mistal again

- Ian, June 2024
Alan May 2024

“A great short stay.”

Lovely accommodation and a great base to explore the many attractions of Northumbria.

- Alan, May 2024
Vicki April 2024

“Another wonderful week at this cottage.”

It is a real home from home and a lovely peaceful retreat. So comfortable and the owners have thought of your every need there after a day out exploring the countryside as we love to do. My only slight criticism is that you have to strip the beds and empty all the bins before leaving. I could appreciate it during the covid period but that is behind us now. There are only 2 of us so it didn't take long but if you have a couple children and dogs it's alot to do before you get going I'm sure. You don't have to do these chores in alot of places and shouldn't it be for the cleaners to do?

- Vicki, April 2024
Christopher March 2024

“We had a lovely state in this great cottage.”

It is well maintained, so well furnished with all the essentials that you need, which you don't always get with other holiday lets. The owners were also extremely prompt and attentive when we had a query on the cottage. The cottage has off-road parking, and is in a great location for so many of the local towns and attractions. We would definitely return to this cottage.

- Christopher, March 2024
Melanie November 2023

“Really enjoyed the warmth and comfort of the Mistall.”

Well situated for the coast, Alnwick & Bamburgh castles, Lindisfarne /Holy Island. Dog friendly - places to walk within the village of Glanton.

- Melanie, November 2023
Victoria October 2023

“We stayed at the Mistal with our three sons and three dogs and we absolutely loved it.”

The house was lovely and comfortable, it was really well presented and spotless and immediately felt like home. The owners have really given thought to every detail and there wasn't a thing that we could have needed or wished for in addition to what had been provided. They even left some milk and three packets of dog biscuits for us upon arrival. We have stayed in a lot of cottages in the NE as we are often up visiting family, this is the only one we would return to. In fact, we considered not leaving

- Victoria, October 2023
Lindsay October 2023

“Thought the Mistal was excellent.”

Well equipped, clean, comfortable and well located. We hope to return as soon as we can!

- Lindsay, October 2023
Nicolas October 2023

“Modern and comfortable cottage, with plenty of room (we had 5 in our party and 3 dogs).”

Plenty to see and do in local area. Can’t recommend enough. Great place to stay!

- Nicolas, October 2023
Mick September 2023

“We had a great week at The Mistal.”

For us and our well-behaved elderly Springer Spaniel the accommodation was perfect and in a great location between 15 and 30 mins from 'everywhere we'd planned to visit'. We'll certainly be recommending this as a very comfortable and well-appointed base from which to explore the area.

- Mick, September 2023
Jayne September 2023

“We hade a wonderful stay at Mistal Cottage.”

It is thoughtfully kitted out with everything you might possibly need, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. It's a real home from home. Well situated to explore the Northumberland countryside and coast. We highly recommend this place, don't hesitate, make a booking!

- Jayne, September 2023
Jason September 2023

“The cottage had everything we could have hope for and more.”

It was clean and tidy, spacious and in a good area for accessing the coast but away from the madding crowd. We took 3 well behaved dogs and although a garden for them would have been ideal, there was a lane nearby to take them out. We certainly won’t hesitate in going back to this lovely cottage when we are next in the area. Many many thanks for a wonderful week and even the weather was fantastic.

- Jason, September 2023
Richard July 2023

“We were really impressed with the house.”

It was really well set up as a let with quality furniture, kitchen ware etc which was great to see as it makes the experience so much nicer. Also all the thoughtful touches like cleaning equipment in cupboard up high shows again how well youve thought through the let. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

- Richard, July 2023
Christine July 2023

“Impeccably clean rental with everything you need for your holiday.”

We appreciated the local information, a really clever thought.

- Christine, July 2023
Lisa July 2023

“The property was spotlessly clean, and really well equipped.”

We were really happy with the cottage. The location was excellent, with lots of places to visit, beautiful walks and of course the coast. As a family we had a fantastic holiday, and we would live to cone back.

- Lisa, July 2023
Peter June 2023

“We were fortunate to find this available for 2-nights after a change in our plans.”

Very well equipped and spacious kitchen and dining area with the adjacent lounge. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Being a stables/barn conversion do need to watch head where beams slope in bedrooms but bedrooms also comfortable.. Good parking in front of property. Ideal for our visit to Alnwick castle.

- Peter, June 2023
Stephen June 2023

“A lovely cottage very clean,well equipt kitchen,very comfy beds overall a lovely place to stay in”

- Stephen, June 2023
Ruth June 2023

“We had a very enjoyable stay at Mistal - it was a very clean, well presented and superbly equipped property.”

An excellent base to explore Northumberland. We would most definitely recommend.

- Ruth, June 2023
Vicki April 2023

“Our second time of staying at the Mistal and we love it.”

Every thing you could possibly need is in the cottage. They have thought of everything and more. It is super clean and roomy too. The lack of a garden doesn't bother us as it is handy to park your car right outside the door so not far to deal with luggage in and out. The courtyard is off road too. It is an ideal base for exploring all around which we love to do and visiting the countryside nearby especially the Breamish valley. We hope to return there.

- Vicki, April 2023
David April 2023

“This is a beautiful cottage very well equipped with everything required for perfect holiday.”

Perfect for the beautiful beaches and castles in the area. Would definitely go back

- David, April 2023

- Denise, September 2022
Tom June 2022

“Lovely property.”

Very well looked after and relaxing, with a really well equipped kitchen and plenty of space downstairs. We loved the views as soon as you left the property and enjoyed all the traditional features in the house.

- Tom, June 2022
Vicki June 2022

“We had a great time staying in the Mistal for our holiday and hope to be booking it again for next year.”

The cottage is exceptionally clean and comfortable and has everything you could possibly need even poobags for our dog if needed. The owner kindly left biscuits and milk as well as a vase of flowers for our arrival which was nice. The property is central for coast and country and you can get to the border of Scotland too within a short drive. We were lucky with the weather too but the cottage is a real home from home should you require it in a village which is so quiet the children can play in the street. If you wish to get away from it all and live life in the countryside this is perfect but Alnwick is only a few miles away for all you might need. There is no garden at all here though so take note should you require dog space but plenty walks from the door.

- Vicki, June 2022
Howard May 2022

“The cleanest and best equipped holiday property we have ever stopped in.”

A good location for exploring the North East.I really cannot find any faults.

- Howard, May 2022

We chose this cottage after having a booking cancelled a week before we were due to arrive, it's a very comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage in a very quiet area , although we wanted to be in a town (Wooler ) with the facilities that would go with being in a town we still had a very nice holiday

- Barrie, April 2022
Steven April 2022

“Property was clean, tidy and a great location to see the surrounding area.”

The little things such as doggy treats and the flowers were a great touch, we felt very welcome. We will definitely be booking again!

Kenneth October 2020

“Lovely location many places not more than 10 to 30 min drive, great walking location for dogs etc.”

The cottage had great cooking facilities which is beneficial for families etc as eating out in the area, for use due to having two dogs was limited, but shops etc in Alnwick was a great choice including the village shop and pub. Great stay will look to return when the weather is not so wet.

- Kenneth, October 2020
Janet September 2020

“The Mistal was a wonderful cottage to stay in.”

I can safely say I have never stayed anywhere that was so well equipped definitely home from home. The welcoming touches were very much appreciated. The location was just brilliant we were close to some very beautiful villages and beaches, so all in all it was a wonderful week away.

- Janet, September 2020
Cleveland September 2020

“One of the best equipped cottages we have stayed in.”

“A very nicely presented & modern not quite a cottage but with that feel, in a lovely quiet hamlet close enough to all the Northumberland & Tyneside attractions and the Scottish Borders to make trips out easy.”

We couldn't have asked for anything else to be provided. We left very happy & relaxed. For those with kids & who like to be connected, there is no mobile signal at all but the WiFi is excellent.

The cottage was spotless and was a real “home from home” with everything one could need. If it had it’s own garden it would be truly perfect. Lovely touches on arrival- biscuits for adults, dog treats, milk and a vase of flowers. All arrival instructions were clear and everything ran smoothly.

- Fiona, August 2018
Janis July 2018

“Good cottage, well furnished, very clean and the kitchen was very well equipped.”

The fridge has a slightly strange configuration which means that it seems quite small. There was a very useful information file. The village is very quiet and well placed for coast or moors. Nice to find somewhere so nice that takes three dogs. The only thing the cottage lacks is private outside space.

- Janis, July 2018
