We had a wonderful time in this beautiful cottage, loving the views, the hot tub and the place being so well set up. Thank you! We enjoyed Beamish, Hadrian's Wall and lots of local walks, as well as relaxing in the house. Oct 2023
Such a great house, we loved every minute of our stay and so much to see and do nearby. We have booked again for next year as we loved it that much!
Emma Plant, Bury - 5th Sept. 2023
Had a lovely stay, a great house. Good weather with lots of fun for the family. Enjoyed a lovely afternoon in Corbridge and in Jedburgh. Looking forward to another stay.
This is a wonderful cottage and such care has been taken to stock it with much more than the basics. The hot-tub is also such a fantastic extra luxury. Amazing all round.
Thank you for a lovely week. We visited Wallington, Cragside, Hareshaw Linn, Holystone Lady's Well and Kielder. Fantastic cottage, very spacious with lots of extras.

A beautifully presented cottage in the hamlet of Rochester. The house is immaculate and one of the best-equipped properties we have ever rented. The sitting room is spacious and the furnishings are comfortable and everything is very clean. The bedrooms are themed and the beds are the most comfortable we have ever had in a holiday home. The kitchen is fully equipped with every possible gadget you can think of and the adjacent dining room provides a lovely environment for a meal overlooking the hills and countryside behind the cottage. The information available about the house, local and more distant places to visit; places to eat and the many tourist information leaflets is exceptionally well organised and up to date. Outside, the patio area; gas BBQ and large jacuzzi are a real bonus although the garden area is very uneven and rocky and needs to be navigated carefully. We loved our stay and would recommend the cottage to anyone wanting a quiet holiday away from it all but with easy reach of all that Northumberland has to offer.

Everything you need for a great family holiday. Beautiful peaceful location. Teenagers loved the hot-tub and karaoke. Thank you for catering for our every need, including Easter chocolates.
Spencer & Taylor, The Midlands. 9th - 16th April 2023
We've had a lovely Easter week at Stonyfield. The cottage is very well-equipped and spacious even for a big family. We've loved relaxing in the hot-tub under the stars! It's been a good base to explore Northumberland and the trips to Housesteads Fort and Bamburgh Castle were highlights. We are already making plans to come back!

Deering family, Birmingham. 2nd - 9th April 2023Post-script: We loved our stay at Stonyfield Cottage so much we've already booked to go back again. I think that says it all really. Very spacious for 2 adults, 2 teens and an older child + dog. Very clean, warm and comfortable property. Lots of maps and leaflets to help plan a great stay was much appreciated. The hot tub under the stars was just brilliant. 10/10 Emilie 23/4/23
10/10 - If you book a cottage in the wilds of Northumberland, you really should expect a beautiful wilderness, which is what you get. The cottage is very thoughtfully equipped and the hot-tub - looking out over endless fields and the stars in a very dark sky were definitely memorable. David & family From Goole - 31st October 2022.
This really is a beautiful cottage. Everything we wanted and outdid our expectations. Just a perfect week. Perfect location- perfect cottage. Absolutely spotless and clean and smells beautiful. We will be back. Thank you for sharing your lovely place- don't want to go back to reality. Absolutely fabulous - would go again. I highly recommend this cottage. 10/10
Harreys & Thurston-Chiddys, Harrogate - 28th Aug. to 4th Sept. 2022.
Perfect cottage getaway, just what we needed! Had all the little extras, so well thought out. We explored Cragside, Wallington, White Gate farm, found the lovely Hindhope Linn waterfall and Kielder water. Looking forward to coming back and exploring Hadrian's Wall when our son is a little bit older.
P.S. Thanks for filling the bird feeder. Had a woodpecker visit daily whilst watching from the hot tub.
Taylor family, Cheshire - 8th - 21st August, 2022.
Great cottage with everything you need for your stay. The hot tub was a real hit with the children. The children’s room was well equipped and they enjoyed the karaoke machine and crafting box. There is plenty to do both locally and farther afield. I would totally recommend this cottage.
Liz & family from Bedfordshire - August 7th 2022.

The cottage is just so pretty and lovely. Very well decorated. Lots to do. The views are stunning. Love looking at all the wild-life. The hot-tub was great to our 9 years old girl. Love it. We would highly recommend your cottage.

A lovely cottage well equipped, good location with lovely views. Glenda April 2022
Amazing cottage, beautiful and surprisingly big. Fully equipped with everything you would ever need, games, dvds, all kitchen things. Lovely to be in hot tub to see the stars. It was a bit far out from everything but we did know that when booking. Deffo recommend.
Joanna February 2022
We had a lovely few days and the cottage was much more spacious than we had expected. It was well stocked with toys, games, jigsaws and books for all ages as well as plenty of baby and toddler essentials. Katie Feb. 2022
Enjoyed my stay at this
cottage. The house had many utensils and rooms which is what you
need. We had one issue with the electric tripping. One of our neighbours explained that this was a regular occurrence so for Health and Safety purposes should be investigated. The heating was not
adequate when we first arrived; often the rooms were cold as the
radiators went off. We made them aware of this and the radiators were
put on more often. My 70 year old father had to venture out to get
logs and fill his newly valeted boot with wood. Not ideal
circumstances. Ideally there should be a week's supply of wood. We
only had a very small basket of display logs and twiggy on
arrival. The complimentary cakes and biscuits were really
welcoming and we enjoyed the hot tub. Would
definitely recommend this cottage and would go again. Zoe December 2021
Please note:
As stated in the accommodation details, an initial supply of one basket of logs is provided. We are looking into the feasibility of providing an additional quantity of logs at cost for those guests wishing to place an order for extra logs in advance of their stay. Otherwise, logs are normally available for purchase locally.
The property is served by a modern consumer unit fitted with RCD and circuit breakers designed to trip in the event of an electrical fault or overload. We are aware of it tripping on three occasions. Each time
the cause of the fault has been investigated and, if necessary, rectified.
A beautifully kept spacious place but also very warm and cosy. Lots to visit - we even went to Scotland!! Looking forward to our next visit. Colin & Victoria Nov 2021
We've had a fantastic week staying in this wonderful, spacious, clean, well equipped cottage in a beautiful area. We had a lovely family break here- there are lots of great places to visit that are a short drive away. We spent happy days both here and exploring the countryside. The hot-tub was a highlight, especially with the starry night skies. It was Ava's first holiday at just seven weeks old and we really appreciated how well-equipped the cottage is. The hosts were very helpful from when we first booked to the final day of our stay. Many Thanks . Would definitely recommend! Gideon Nov 2021
Lovely cottage in a great location, perfect base for exploring the surrounding area. We’ll be staying again in the future for sure. Peter Oct. 2021.
Very spacious and beautifully presented accommodation. Very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The hot tub was a favourite with our group and we loved watching the stars whilst relaxing on an evening. Beautiful views across the surrounding countryside and well located to explore Northumberland and the Borders. Michelle Oct. 2021.
A wonderful cottage, beautiful views, really comfortable with everything you could need provided. Kath Oct 2021.
Beautiful,
huge cottage with everything you could possibly need!! You cannot
get a real appreciation for the cottage from the airbnb listing *,
because it is just amazing when you get there! The hot tub is a
lovely treat too! The location is a good base for exploring Northumberland, and the outdoor area is perfect for relaxing all day
long with a beautiful view! Thanks so much, hopefully we’ll be
back soon. Rachel

A
really lovely house and perfect for our needs.
The hosts were
responsive and helpful, even after the stay when we thought we had
left behind an item at the property. Will definitely return!

"Absolutely
fantastic cottage, it is actually much bigger than the pictures
suggest! The cottage was immaculate upon arrival and the rooms were
spacious. We were a group of 7 adults and it suited us just right,
especially having a second lounge area! The location is also
fantastic, we were able to visit; Jedburgh, Alnwick, Bambrough,
Newcastle, Vinadlanda Roman Fort and Edinburgh! About an hours drive
on average but ideally located for what we wanted to do"

"Would
highly recommend this cottage, but you do need a car to get around,
even if it's just to the local pub".
Glenda Sept. 2021
"We
had a nice stay recently. The cottage was easy to find and very
convenient being just off the main road. There was no road noise and
no passing traffic so was very quiet. The cottage had a wood burning
stove which was available to us and logs were provided. There
was also a gas BBQ available for us to use which was great. The
cottage itself was huge and had plenty of room for us (3 couples
each with a toddler)".
