Ricky was welcoming, the rooms spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was spotless, the towels large and soft, with extra toiletries added.

Breakfast was excellent- we were only sorry... more

After a superb nights sleep we had a relaxing breakfast in the conservatory, cooked by our host Ricky. (The thoughfulness of soap and extra towels... more

For the last couple of weeks I have had the pleasure of staying at the excellent Northumberland Cottage.
