We considered ourselves very lucky to have found The Bothy after they had a cancellation. We received a lovely welcome when we arrived like a family of drowned rats as the weather wasn't being very friendly. The Bothy is very comfortable and the bottle of wine was very much enjoyed when we had dried out. The dogs loved the garden although I think Gulliver was a bit overwhelmed by the cows first thing in the morning - sorry about that. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it. Thank you Christine and Keith.

My husband, our new baby and I have just returned from a 4 night stay at The Bothy cottage. The owners Keith and Christine were very courteous and polite from our initial enquiry, through the booking process and right through to our departure home.

The cottage is exactly as the photos show. The outside gardens and drive are lovely; there is ample parking outside where the car can be driven right outside the frontdoor which is great for unloading/loading the car.

All the rooms are well furnished/stocked.

-The kitchen had all equipment needed for cooking and even small things you find in your own kitchen like cling film/carrier bags/washing up cloth.

-The living room is spacious yet cosy and has a traditional style with a modern edge.

-The bedroom is well laid out with a lovely dresser and plenty of wardrobe space with hangers with lots of natural light when the curtains are opened.

Every window has a lovely view but the view from the kitchen window was stunning. You can even watch the sunset from the garden where two carefully placed chairs and a table are.

We used The Bothy as a base given the glorious weather visiting, Hadrian's wall, Corbridge Roman Site, Alnwick Castle and Bamburgh Castle. If there weather wasn't so great though there is a selection of books and DVDs to help pass the time.

We throughly enjoyed our stay and would return for a relaxing short break. The Bothy is attached to the owners house, but as it has its own parking area/garden it feels secluded. The location of The Bothy is wonderful, it feels remote and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet near enough (less than 10miles) to local amenities such as supermarket/pub/restaurant.

We have a wonderful stay at the Bothy at the end of July. Unfortunately the weather at the beginning of the week wasn't too kind, but it didn't stop us from going out and about. Had we chosen to stay in the cottage was very well equipped with games, DVDs and a large TV in a lovely and well appointed living room with a patio onto the garden where we could watch the many varieties of birds. It was great to be able to park and un/load straight to the front door, and the cottage was spacious - plenty of room to move around. Keith and Christine were nearby if there were any problems and always very helpful. The views from the cottage are beautiful and there was a space for our dog to stretch his legs, which was welcome. Thank you Keith and Sue for a wonderful stay; ope to return in the future.

From start to finish our stay at The Bothy was excellent . Christine and Syrus greeted us on arrival. Cottage has everything we needed for our stay, definetly a home from home super facilties.
Lovely quiet area, but also suitable for travelling to other areas/places of interest or shopping .Plenty information provided by Christine &Keith for what is available to do and see in Northumberland and surrounding areas.
Will certainly recommend to friends & family and planning to return again soon.
Milo our Border Collie loved the paddock .
