“Lovely place to stay in beautiful location, clear instructions from owner, would absolutely recommend!”

- Jack, December 2024
Andy November 2024

“Magical place to stay.”

Woke up on Saturday, to heavy snow, creating a mythical aura to the whole landscape. Fittings inside 10/10. Lights could be brighter, I couldn't read as quickly as I wanted, the fantastic selection of books left to enjoy. [ Staneley Pucci was my choice] I wanted to bring the bed back home. The perfect 7 days...

Cherie November 2024

“The property is beautifully designed, modern but classic, it has all the things you need to cook and have a nice meal, the view out onto the garden is lovely and calming.”

The property was extremely clean. I stayed alone with my dog and felt completely safe the entire time. It’s in the perfect spot to visit the surrounding areas. I’d love to come back in the summer months and make use of the decking. The welcoming gift touches were also appreciated.

Michael November 2024

“Had a very relaxing and peaceful stay at the Bothy.”

The property is very well equipped and comfortable for 2 people with a dog. The owners live in the adjacent Riding Hills farm so are on hand should you need them. The welcome pack was very good, one of the best we've had. Plenty of walks from the doorstep and the village of Riding Mill, which has a good pub and cafe/deli is about a 40 minute walk. Corbridge is a similar distance in the other direction. There is also a regular bus service from the main road (about 5 minutes walk) between Newcastle and Hexham. We really enjoyed it and will definitely book again for next year

“Lovely, well presented cottage.”

Fabulous welcome pack. All furnishings were comfortable and good quality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bothy, one recommendation/feedback, the outside space could do with some maintenance and the amazing views are being blocked by some overgrown shrubs and trees, this did not impact our holiday at all. The neighbouring ducks, cat and hen were all very friendly

- Gillian, October 2024
Robert August 2024

“Rules were no shoes in bothy.”

yet nowhere to take off wet gear or to dry dog. just put a porch on. storage for food and clothes were rubbish as well. should have been advertised as converted garage not bothy. also no windows to open, especially in bedroom

- Robert, August 2024
Gareth August 2024

“Loved the bothy.”

Clean comfortable and quiet. Loved the location with so much walking and history covering Northumberland. Highly recommend for a couple wanting a base to explore the locality. Loved it.

- Gareth, August 2024
David July 2024

“This is an amazing cottage in a lovely location.”

The Bothy has everything you could need and with Hexham and Corbridge just a few minutes away there is plenty to do.

- David, July 2024
Denise July 2024

“We had a fabulous break, loads of lovely pubs for eating at.”

The friendly ducks came to the front door and shouted for breakfast (Weetabix). We did a Roman trail, joined English Heritage then did more Roman fort visits. The Bothy was very comfortable, beautifully furnished and decorated. The welcome box was lovely, the owners, Simon & Karen were helpful but not intrusive. It’s the only cottage we’ve stayed at for 2 weeks where the bedding and towels were changed half way through! A dlelightful place. Cats, ducks, hares, an owl and bats, what more could you ask for, I’m sure we’ll be back. Thanks, Denise, John & Poppy the cat! x

Pauline June 2024

“Unfortunately we had to leave The Bothy last Saturday, 8th June because my friend was ill and he required medical attention, which as you are no doubt aware is difficult to get these days.”

We were very impressed with The Bothy and the surrounding area and were upset having to leave so soon. Should there be a chance of some recompense we would be most grateful.

- Pauline, June 2024

“Beautiful holiday property in stunning surroundings.”

Immaculately clean. So peaceful.Ducks and chickens roaming free around the duck pond. Grey squirrels in the trees. Went on some lovely walks with the dog. The view from the top of the hill is beautiful.

“The Bothy is in beautiful surroundings, quiet and very scenic.”

It is very modern and nicely furnished with everything holiday makers require. We had regular visits from the local wildlife. It is close to many interesting and historic places to visit and there is an amazing patisserie in Corbridge.

- Victor, March 2024

Lynda February 2024

“We stayed at The Bothy for a week in February.”

On arrival the view when you drive up the hill are amazing. The cottage is set amongst beautiful countryside at the edge of a small cluster of farm and barn conversions and there is a duck pond nearby. The space itself is beautiful and every item in the cottage has been carefully curated by the owners. It was spotlessly clean. The welcome pack was outstanding. All facilities were in good order with a lovely shower. The bed was super comfy and the quietness of the surrounding area ensured a great nights sleep. Our dog enjoyed sitting out on the deck and going for walks in the countryside. There are lots of lovely pubs nearby and great restaurants to try out.

- Lynda, February 2024
Kevin February 2024

“Great place.”

Immaculately clean.Linen and towels wonderful.Welcome pack above and beyond.!The weather wa really windy but it must be great in the summer to sit out and see the great views.Would recommend to friends.

- Kevin, February 2024
Helen January 2024

“A lovely property, very cosy with a very effective log burner.”

Immaculately clean and lovely furnishings. It is possible to buy more logs from the owners. Very quiet location yet within easy walk down the hill to the bus stops. Great location for being able to enjoy nice walks as well as easy access to Corbridge, Hexham, Hadrian's Wall, Tynemouth and Newcastle.

- Helen, January 2024
Alastair December 2023

“One of the nicest holiday cottages we’ve ever stayed in.”

Everything was well thought out, and all fixtures and fittings to a high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with lots of walks in the local area, some great shopping in Corbridge, and then ‘home’ each night to the Bothy to enjoy some relaxation with the log burner providing a comforting warmth. Thanks to the hosts for providing such a lovely rental.

- Alastair, December 2023
Rachel December 2023

Nick November 2023

“A fabulous holiday cottage in a great spot.”

Very well equipped and comfortable, the wood burner made it feel very cosy and welcoming although the cottage was very warm in any case. The welcome goodies were very much appreciated together with the helpful information provided. A good location for touring the area, only a very short drive to Corbridge and Hexham. Would definitely recommend.

- Nick, November 2023

“Excellent holiday in beautiful countryside.”

Property is in immaculate state, provides with everything one needs in modern days. Amazing location, big balcony that has astonishing view on the valley. Massive compliments for the very comfortable bed and huge towels. Clearly they've put in a lot of thinking and effort to make it work for the guests. Welcome pack was great as well as guide book full with pointers and info about entire area. Very modern kitchen with luxury equipment. Hosts did everything to make us feel welcomed, went extra mile to help with anything we needed. Many thanks, will be coming back in the future.

Ghislaine June 2023

“We enjoyed our stay at the Bothy.”

Facilities were excellent and the lodge was placed in a very private, picturesque setting, approximately 2 miles from Corbridge. My only very slight criticism was that the previous renters had had a dog who they must have allowed to sit/sleep on the settee. I could smell 'dog'. This would not stop us from returning to the Bothy.

- Ghislaine, June 2023

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at the Bothy and you were great guests. We do ask that pets are not allowed on the settee and I will ask the Cleaners to pay particular attention to this in the future, very best wishes Karen Property Owner
Anne June 2023

Thank you Anne for your lovely feedback it is much appreciated, Very best wishes Karen Property Owner
