Iâve looked at booking this a few times and it didnât disappoint. Pre arrival information was excellent, allocated parking space on arrival. We arrived late but the lights were on it was lovely and warm and a bottle of Prosecco chilling in the fridge was a welcome sight. Thank you for the thoughtful welcome basket. Very stylish the beds were so comfortable everything catered for with some lovely little extra touches. Thank you for a wonderful stay we wished we were staying longer.

It was perfect for us two and our Labrador but with four guests it might feel a little crowded. Excellent communication with owners who provide a helpful welcome pack including a bottle of Prosecco. The house was warm, spotlessly clean, with basic kitchen equipment. Unlike another reviewer of the ownersâ adjacent property, we didnât think Prosecco glasses were needed, although deeper larger bowls for dishes like pasta would be useful. Although located a little set back from a reasonably busy road, the house is well insulated from traffic noise and we slept well on and extremely comfortable bed. Longframlington is well situated for exploring this part of Northumberland; we had good walks on local beaches, with Warkworth a favourite, and visited a few of the National Trust properties in the vicinity. Overall, a great little holiday cottage and weâd thoroughly recommend.
