There were a few things in the kitchen we would have appreciated but were not there.. ie:- serving dishes, Medium sized dish for cooking a fruit crumble/cottage pie in, A toast rack, A tray, Meat platter would have been nice but not essential. Washing-up bowl, (we bought one and left it there ) And a rail or hooks in the kitchen for the towel and tea towels etc. Otherwise we found it very well equipped.

The Old Farmhouse met all our expectations.. It is in a lovely location with beautiful views across to the Cheviots. The accommodation is spacious and very well equipped. It provides brilliant facilities for every age group. Our 20 month grandaughter slept very well here and she loved running around in the safe private garden. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and staying at The Old Farmhouse as well as the sun shining were definitely the two major factors to our holidays success!

This is the most comfortable house ever. Northumberland is not known for it's weather and to come home to the Farmhouse after a day out is so nice. The view at the front of the house is just so beautiful. The owner is such a friendly lady who could not do enough to make you comfortable.

The Old Farmhouse was amazing; tastefully decorated and everything you could want or need was there, any other random requests were granted by the attentive hosts. It was a true home from home experience, in a stunning part of the country. There was ample room for everyone, 3 generations of my family all happy and comfortable. With 2 large reception rooms there was no getting under each others feet and no 'dancing' outside the bathroom as there are 3 toilets. The bedding was luxurious and all the appliances are good quality. This is an ideal base for visiting the many attractions that Northumberland has to offer. There are lots of leaflets and guide books in the house to give you ideas, the owners have a wealth of local knowledge to share too. There are well looked after gardens front and back, with patio furniture and a BBQ if the weather is nice too. Thank you to the owners for helping to make my 50th birthday celebrations as memorable as they were.

We can only say good things about our stay. Our hosts were excellent and very friendly and helpful. The children especially loved Stanley the cheeky black Labrador. The farmhouse was an excellent size and finished to a very high standard. We wanted for nothing during our stay. Our 3 year old Jack still keeps asking "when can we go back to holiday home?"

A beautifully thought out and well presented cottage in a country setting on a working farm. It had everything you would need for a more than comfortable stay; in addition was the very warm welcome and friendliness of the owners. Lots of interesting places to visit from small villages to larger castles and gardens. The beaches are stunning and not crowded. People in general were very friendly. The owners of the farm are always happy to help out and tell you of good places to eat and visit.
