“Nicely converted cottage, views from the kitchen over the garden are particularly enjoyable.”
Lots of wildlife to watch: swallows, goldfinches an bluetits feeding on thistle seeds, rabbits after vegetable leaves.
Place was spotless and our hostess not only provided lovely fluffy towels and top-quality loo paper and kitchen roll, but also lent us Tupperware for picnics, which we'd forgotten to bring.
Only slight drawback was the cars' paintwork and glass getting heavily splattered with birds' calling-cards, as the parking is in the open farmyard - but on the upside, it's secure and off-road.
Lots to see and do in the area; good restaurants in Hexham (unfortunately the Wylam restaurant we were interested in was so popular, we couldn't even get a booking).
Would recommend for a leisurely, outdoorsy, non-beach holiday.
