Beautiful cottage.
Beautiful cottage. Furnished to a high standard. Everything you could possibly need is in the cottage. Extremely clean. Two lovely wood burners with wood supplied. Fresh flowers on arrival. Lovely welcome pack with wine, chocolates and crisps. Biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar, spices and oils all supplied. It’s a stunning cottage, very comfortable in a beautiful location. The river can be heard while sitting in the front garden. My favourite spot. Just a beautiful cottage in a great location near to kielder Forest and a lovely little town called Newcastleton where you can buy supplies from a local spar. Lovely little pub called the Trap. Enjoyed our stay very much. Would love to return.
