Gillian
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

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.
