    Excellent central heating which was vital for a December holiday in Northumberland.

  • Rosemary

    A large enclosed garden ensured that our dog could exercise and enjoy chasing balls safely. At the end of the week she refused to join us in the car and trotted back to the cottage. None of us wanted to leave but look forward to returning in the future.
