Not been cleaned, filthy bathroom floor, hole in sink due to missing stopper, shower leaked, damp smell in bathroom, no towel rails anyway to dry towels inside, no shower mat, no tea towel provided, no hot water or heating available first night and following morning as the owner failed to change the gas canister, bathroom door no lock or latch and did not even close, dusty and musty smell in living and bedroom, cobwebs spotted in all rooms, human hair left in shower cubicle and bath not cleaned properly from previous guests, bedding smelt musty and nothing matched, dead insects found by skirting board near unit by bed and behind bed head, no blind or curtains at kitchen window, no cleaning bottles provided, I had to purchase and the owner had the audacity to charge £12 for a cleaning fee Outside rusting patio furniture, dead plants in pots outside. A tidy up is due.  No attention to detail.  Owner accused us of planning complaint just to get a free stay which is a false accusation and defamation of my character.  Despite my valid issues especially photographs of months old hair and gunk found in shower drain and he was at fault for not ensuring hot water and heating was available prior to our arrival he has utterly refused  to provide a refund.  He insists the place was “spotless” and personally checked by him when the cleaners finished. It was not by the way. The accommodation does not justify the tariff charged per night. Oh yes and there are two abandoned cars rusting in the orchard area which is not a good look and spoils what is a nice view from the bedroom.  Oh and tge windows needed cleaning. n

Had we had hot water and the cottage had been properly cleaned it would have been a pleasant stay

The location was pretty and lovely surroundings

Dirty in places 
The shelves in the shower are rusty 
Plant pots full of dead plants 
The decor is tired 
We wanted to light the fire there was no kindling, matches or fire lighters

It could have been better

The property had not been cleaned for a long time. Thick dust everywhere. Dirty panty liner in basket. Dirty sheets. Blood on pillow case. Plug in bathroom would not work.

Disgusting, would have been nice if owner had responded to our comments.

Very nice stay for our overnight rest from the Hadrian&#39;s Wall Path.

Greeted like a trespasser. Had to provide proof of identity. Dogs barking at me. Place was unprepared and was told to go away because it had to be cleaned and they were not prepared.

My father in law owned the property in the sixties, seventies and eighties. I worked the garden.

Self catering. 
V peaceful. Quirky. Badgers in the courtyard in the evenings. Different birds.to enjoy.
Bath and walk in shower.

Peaceful and quirky with the bonus of wildlife to observe

Absolutely delightful cottage, in beautiful setting of an old walled garden, and orchard, and in a lovely quiet village by the Tyne.

Minor initial problems fixed. Internet occasionally erratic as uses mobile signal dongle.
(Tumble dryer is marked on Booking.com site in error. )
All minor in comparison to delightful relaxing setting. Hammock in orchard especially delightful.

Perfect stay for a trip back home with wildlife at your doorstep to enjoy

The very definition of a hidden gem !  Set in the extensive grounds of the main house, the cottage had everything you need for a great stay.  While it looks tiny from the outside, the rooms were surprisingly spacious: the accommodation came with a full kitchen, lounge with TV and log burner as well as a decent size bedroom and comfortable bed.  There was also a fair size patio which at dusk turned into a dining room for badgers and foxes !  All in all, a wonderful place to stay.

Absolutely delightful

Unique &amp; Beautiful location . Charming property

Loved everything about this place. Nice comfortable cottage for two. Great gardens and had access to all grounds. Secret gate led into the woods and down to the river. Jim the Gardener&#47;Groundsman was very friendly and helpful. He gave us a couple of fish heads telling us to attach them to the tree in the evening and sit and watch. Absolutely amazing to see 3 badgers come out from the woods and take the fish heads. Great experience. We were also allowed to pick fruit from the many fruit trees, apples, pears and plums. Can’t rate this place enough. Definitely recommend and will definitely return.

Beautiful, tranquil, the best place to de stress yourself….absolutely loved it

Sheets appeared not to have been changed on the bed. I contacted the owner by text and email for a response after our stay, but have had no reply.

Charming property but let down by the housekeeping team

Lovely old fashioned cosy cottage with all needed modern facilities in an idyllic setting of gardens and trees

Lovely quiet retreat with support from owner if needed

Nice grounds and garden. Great location for our needs - will be staying again!

Only thing was the abandon cars, just diminish ￼the beauty of the grounds.

Cute for the night

Beautifully presented and very comfortable. Loved the location and quiet gardens, just stunning. We even had a couple of fresh strawberries delivered by the gardener. Loved relaxing in the hammock after a week of cycling

There was nothing to dislike. A little gem

Relaxed little cottage

Beautiful accommodation in the most amazing surroundings 

Great host and can’t wait to book again

Absolute gem of a find. Such a good atmosphere and facilitated relaxation and rest very well. Loved the history  quirkiness and very comfortable cottage and surroundings. Would go back in a heartbeat.
