Lovely and quiet. Amazing views. A very relaxing stay

Staying at Mary's apartment was honestly one of the highlights of the trip! It was thepoint in our holiday where we just wanted to sit back, relax, and unwind. The views were incredible with the living room looking out onto the horizon. Definitely worth a stay if you're thinking about it. Great for star gazing as it is located in one of the International Dark Parks in the world!

A beautiful apartment in lovely surroundings. Booked a last minute getaway and Mary was very quick to respond and accommodating. Lovely personal touches and great communication.

Absolutely amazing place to stay - the pictures really don't do it justice! The views are beautiful, the place was clean and spacious with everything you could need and was decorated beautifully. We loved everything about our stay!

Stargazer is a lovely apartment. Very peaceful and remote. We were lucky enough to have clear skies and great weather to appreciate the view. Bed was very comfortable, loads of hot water and beautifully warm and apartment stunning. If using (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps to find the flat perhaps contact Mary for slightly more detailed instructions or pull in at the Hollybush to get help - we are still fairly new to airbnb and learning as we go and didn't think to ask before we set off but had no phone signal to call or text when we arrived.

Mary was able to accommodate us last minute (booked the night before we arrived) and responded very promptly to our messages and questions. Really amazing space with beautiful views. Great for a relaxing get away. Would recommend a trip to the Holly Bush Inn for some food and a few drinks.

Absolutely beautiful apartment in a stunning location. Fantastic kitchen and living room, alongside a very comfortable bed, made for a wonderful stay. Couldn't have asked for anything better! Perfect place to stay for a relaxing break and some stargazing.

A lovely location in a delightful village

We had the best time ever at Donna and Graham's place! The picturesque views are almost too good to be true. The breakfast was delicious and we couldn't have asked for more hospitable hosts. Donna, Graham and Norma, as well as precious Willow were heartwarmingly pleasant to deal with. We left Hexham with sad expressions, only to be lightened up with the friendliest hugs and kisses from Norma! I cannot think of anything I would change from this wonderful experience. To Donna and the family, feel free to get in touch whenever you are in Durham or Newcastle. You have definitely made some new friends!

We had a wonderful stay at Donna's windmill. The location was suitably secluded but also not far at all from Hexham and we enjoyed dinner at the pub at the bottom of the road on one of the evenings. We loved looking at the dark skies and hearing the sounds of owls and other animals as we went to sleep! The accommodation itself was perfect - a cosy fire, beautiful views and great facilities. We had amazing breakfasts and Donna and her family were very hospitable and caring which really added to our experience. I would definitely recommend a trip here if you're looking for some peace and quiet but also a great place to be based to explore Northumberland. We had some great walks in the national park and also a lovely time at the coast. Thanks Donna!

Donna was very welcoming and very chatty the area we had was like a small Anex which was nice as it felt like you had your own space

This was a wonderful place, hosted by effortlessly friendly and interesting people. As Sarah remarked on seeing it for the first time, 'this is the most beautiful place I've ever stayed'. Setting is unique and indeed breath-taking; furnishing and general upkeep beautiful and immaculate. Just a shame we could only manage one night. Certainly hope to be going back.

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Donna and her lovely family were the most welcoming hosts we could ask for! We came from London trying to find a quiet and cozy home to recharge batteries and what we found was that and much more. The delicious breakfast, the recommendations of local gems and walking routes that only people with extensive knowledge of the area can provide to the warm fireplace waiting for us when we arrived, everything made our experience exceed way beyond our expectations. Thank you Donna and family! Sabrina and Miguel

We booked the windmill for our wedding night and it was perfect. I'd checked with Donna prior to booking that it was ok we wouldn't be arriving until after midnight and it wasn't a problem. Donna and her partner were working away and so Donna's mum hosted us. She was so friendly and helpful, and Donna's daughter Willow had made us a wedding card with a box of chocolates. It was so sweet. We were made to feel so welcome and special. All toiletries were provided and the bed was very comfortable. A full English breakfast with fruit, croissants and homemade jams were served to us in our room in the morning and it was all delicious. The windmill itself was great, an amazing space with beautiful surroundings. Our only regret is that we didn't book for 2 nights but we had to get back and pack for our honeymoon! Donna please send our thanks on to your mum, she was so accommodating. You have a lovely home.

My partner & I had very lovely stay with Donna & Graham. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival & quickly felt relaxed & at home. A warm fire was awaiting us in our room which went perfectly with a cup of tea to enjoy the view of the forest out our window. The pictures & write up Donna has provided are thoroughly representative of the space... we were very pleased! The local pub is a nice place to have dinner without having to travel far a field, but Hexham is super close as well... GREAT location. The breakfast was delicious & it was nice to be able to choose what we wanted from a selection of options (including vegetarian!). Would highly recommend the Windmill... it's a wonderful spot for anyone in need of a peaceful break. Beautiful walks also await just out the front door.

A great couples retreat. Marianne was a great host and there were some lovely little extras which were a nice suprise. We spent the weekend cooking lovely food and relaxing. We took a walk around the surrounding countryside which was beautiful, even though it was freezing and started snowing! I truly recommend The Bothy to anyone who wants a weekend break in the country.

Lovely cosy cottage in an area with beautiful views, we had a wonderful walks and a very nice time, thank you!

Perfect place to relax and enjoy beautiful scenic walks. Not too far outside of the city, but far enough to feel like you're well away from the noise and crowds. Would definitely to creative types who need some quiet time to be productive with no distractions. Will no doubt be back again in the future!

Superb.... Would recommend...

Lovely stay at the bothy. Perfect for cycling and running. Marianne was happy to have us stay last minute and was super host.

A beautiful cottage, in stunning countyside. Warm, clean, comfy bed, and lovely decor. The perfect get away!

Warm, clean and comfortable. Exactly as described. Great communication from host, did not feel rushed to leave and was offered early check-in. The host left us a bottle of prosecco and a bar of chocolate on arrival which was really kind. Can't fault this place, we had a great stay. Would happily return.

Everything you need in miniature :) The place is so comfy and cosy and we felt right at home immediately. It's really well equipped and has everything you need in for a lovely stay. The area is beautiful and we were lucky enough to be there when all the cute little lambs were out.

We had such a lovely stay at the Arches. We were treated to red wine, milk, a basket of logs for the wood burner and even chocolate roses on the pillows (for Valentine's). The cottage was super cosy, wonderfully clean and tidy and had everything we needed. It was the perfect base to visit Kielder Observatory from too (definitely worth a trip) as well as the Northumberland National Park. We really didn't want to leave. Also, we'd recommend dinner at the Redesdale Inn just down the road - the pie is incredible.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Arches :) There was a bottle of wine and delicious eggs waiting for us, as well as a pint of milk for a much needed cuppa after our journey. Amy communicated straight away every time I messaged and was super flexible at short notice. The cottage was beautiful and cosy and the shower was amazing!

Me and my partner booked the arches to escape the stresses of city life. It was a gorgeous cosy barn conversion with bags of character. We felt right at home. Loved the log burning stove and the wooden beams throughout. There has been lots of attention to detail including a bottle of wine, eggs, milk fresh flowers on arrival. A short drive to Rothbury and Cragside and Alnwick which are very idyllic. Was lovely waking up to the birdsong every morning. Amy and Scott were very welcoming and friendly. If you want somewhere to chill out with loads of home comforts and character then this is the place for you! Book it you won't be disappointed. Loved it!!!

We had a lovely night at the Arches, comfortable bed, and a wonderful shower. Amy was very welcoming and happy to help, giving advice on the nearest shop to pick up some bits and pieces. We would stay here again.

What a lovely place to stay! The cottage was beautifully decorated and very homely. Wish we had stayed longer than a night. Amy was so helpful and kind making sure that our stay was an enjoyable one. I would highly recommend and lovely touches such as a bottle of wine, flowers and fresh eggs.

We had a really lovely time at The Arches. It's beautifully decorated and in a wonderful part of Northumberland. Amy and Scott were great and made us feel totally at home. Loved having a bottle of wine and some essentials ready for when we arrived. Thanks!

We had a lovely stay at Amy and Scott's place for our weekend break. Everything in the property was as described on the listing, and communication was great with Amy prior to and throughout our stay. There was even a bottle of prosecco left in the fridge for us upon arrival - very kind! The surrounding area is very quiet & scenic, making for some great country walks. We would definitely love to stay here again in the future!

Made to feel very welcome in the house with complimentary wine and eggs. Wood burning stove was a lovely addition!

Pauline and her husband made us very welcome on our arrival, and they were extra helpful with last minute directions (don't follow (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps if arriving through Wark as it does try to take you through a field!) We were over the moon with Rose Cottage which had been finished to a really high standard throughout! We loved the spot and the surrounding countryside and our hosts were brilliant when it came to helping us find things to do locally (some really nice walks and some good tips for exploring Hadrian's Wall) and great recommendations for local pubs and restaurants (we enjoyed nearby Battlesteads but the food at Barrasford Arms a bit further away was brilliant). Next time we hope to be able to book in at one of the local observatories to make the most of the dark skies! Really happy with our stay at Rose Cottage and can't wait to go back to explore further! Thanks again Adam

A very neat place to stay, and specially the country side is beautiful and peaceful. It is easy to get to and lots of options to have walks, rides outdoor through beautiful English landscape. Pauline and Tony are very helpful, so do ASK anything you need, or wonder about!!

We had a lovely short break at Rose Cottage. It was bright, spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. Our hosts couldn't have been more helpful. We would definitely book Rose Cottage again as there's plenty more exploring to do in Northumberland.

Very highly recommended. The room is recently renovated, very clean, comfortable and light, with lovely views. Pauline & Tony are extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. They provided detailed directions and gave us good recommendations for places to eat nearby and made us feel very much at home. Would definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay for a cosy weekend away beautiful room and facilities. Pauline was a great host most helpful!

Beautifully appointed and comfortable space. A few special touches that make it very welcoming and great value.

If only we could have stayed for the whole week! We were warmly welcomed at the cottage and enjoyed a continental breakfast, Tony's recommended cycling route and a walk to Wark by the river for a scrummy dinner. Highly recommend!

We booked last minute to stay at Rose Barn on a Tuesday night in April. Pauline was brilliant throughout, including pre-visit communication where Pauline recommended walking routes and places to eat in the local area. When we arrived at Birtley, we were greeted and shown around the property by Pauline and her husband. The room has recently been renovated to a high standard with beautiful wooden beams and views of the amazing garden. The room is fully equipped with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Pauline had even prepared walking route maps around Kielder and Bellingham for us to plan our walking routes. There were nice touches of blankets and hot chocolate available for star gazing, and moisturisers in the bathroom. Very comfortable bed (with heated blanket) and plenty of space. We ate at The Barrasford Arms and would recommend this for excellent quality freshly cooked food.Breakfast was provided in a cool box with a good range of choices. Before we left, we were recommended some walks around the outskirts of Birtley... great for wildlife spotting and looking for different types of flowering plants. All in all a lovely stay. Would recommend.

Beautifully presented home with everything you could need for a weekend away. The apartment was spotless, we received a lovely welcome basket on arrival which was a nice touch. The location is perfect for exploring Rothbury which is a lovely village and the surrounding areas are very picturesque.

Gorgeous and spacious apartment! Around a 5 minute walk into town over a lovely bridge. We will definitely be returning

Flora's place was marvelous! Firstly Rothbury itself is a lovely northern town if you don't know it. We only did an overnight stay but we'd love to come back for sure. The apartment is quite a bit bigger than the pictures show, spotless and full of little touches that most hosts haven't thought about. Great stuff Flora and thanks again. We will be back. Anyone out there, looking to stay in the area, stay here. You'll be pushed to find better.

Flora has a beautiful home, very clean, comfortable and suitable for a family stay. It is located in a quite residential area and very close to attractions like Alnwick Castle. We checked into her home without any difficulty and it was very easy to locate with the help of satnav. The rooms - bedroom, living room, kitchen and the bathroom are very spacious and well equipped. She had also left bread, cake, milk for our breakfast. We had a very comfortable stay there and would definitely recommend her place to anyone visiting the area.

Great apartment in a great location. Very homely feel, great standard and some lovely extra touches really made out stay fantastic. Would definitely recommend this place and would love to return ourselves.

We had a lovely weekend here. The place is very spacious and pretty, with good parking. This is a real home, with lots of thoughtful touches, like homemade cereals and welcoming gifts from Flora. The sofa was very comfortable, as was the bed. Lovely smart bathroom as well. We found it cheaper than the B&Bs for this weekend, and so much nicer. Recommended!

A great place to stay for a few days. Just be careful where you park your car, so you don't anger the old lady next door!

Kirsty was really helpful sending info before our trip, the cottage was comfortable and we enjoyed our stay

We found the apartment had all that we required for a weekend away, very clean and nicly presented It is easy to find when coming off the A1 and Fiona gave good directions in her email, so finding it shouldn't be a problem. Situated in a quite village and within easy travel distance to the coastal areas and main attractions, we managed to see quite a lot of this beautiful area during our stay. Also provided is quite a good list of recommenced places to visit & pubs,restaurants & cafes to try out. Fiona was there when we arrived and she made us feel very welcome.

Lovely property - well appointed, it had everything we needed. The hosts were very helpful and welcomed us when we arrived, but didn't make you feel as though you were staying in their property which was great. We came for a wedding so didn't have much time to explore the local area unfortunately, but would love to return.

A perfect spot for a relaxing, two night stay. Birdsong Lodge is cosy, immaculately presented and has everything you need (the welcome drinks in the fridge were a lovely touch!) It is in a brilliant location; we enjoyed a walk at Longhoughton beach as well as visits to Newton by the Sea and Alnwick Castle.

The accommodation was fantastic, just as described. The location and area are sensational. We will definitely be back! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Birdsong as a great place to stay

A really comfortable stay, the apartment was spotless and well situated to visit coastal attractions. Sugar Sands Bay is a five minute drive away. Would thoroughly recommend booking. Many thanks Fiona.

This lodge is a perfect little bolt hole for a lone traveller, couple or anyone with a little furry or none furry addition. My partner and I spent two nights here and loved it's proximity to the beautiful beaches and it was within easy drives of several amazing pubs. There's a co-op in the village but not much else so you will need to be prepared to drive. The lodge was as it was pictured and described. Fiona was not there when we went but she had everything prepared for us and her Dad was on hand for morning chats and local info as he fed their cats!

Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Fiona had provided tea/coffee/milk and biscuits (more than we could eat - unusual for us!!) for our arrival which was very welcome. She was very friendly and available if needed. The only problem we had was that my husband would bang his head occasionally on the sloping ceiling - but then he is spatially unaware! I had no problem. Accommodation was convenient for sightseeing. Enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful relaxing short break in Northumberland. The location gives you easy access to the coastal path and Alnwick Castle & town. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with everything you could need. The bus stop just up the road provided a great way to explore the coast walking, taking you up to Beadnell (& beyond) with a lovely walk back to Longhoughton. Fiona was on hand if needed but left you in private. Would definitely stay again.

Stable Cottage represents all that is great about airbnb! A unique getaway with lots of thoughtful touches - Ben and Ailsa are perfect hosts - very friendly and not intrusive. We loved the farm's location - perfect for exploring Northumberland - and with the roaring log burner, a great retreat on a cold evening. Highly recommend the cottage to other airbnbers. Thank you Ben and Ailsa

Ailsa's cottage on their lovely historic Northumberland farm was very cosy. It has everything needed to cook and eat in, and a sunny spot outside to sit. The views from the farm down into the Tyne Valley are great. A few minutes down a quiet road and you in Corbridge with lots of independent shops, half an hour and you are in the wonderful city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Arm yourself with a map and the walking and cycling opportunities are endless.

Alisha's cottage was exactly as described and so much more in person. It made for a lovely weekend break and we didn't want to leave. In such a scenic location, quite and tranquil yet a stones throw away to the beautiful village of Corbridge. The perfect weekend getaway. Ailsa's had the log fire burning on arrival which kept us nice and snug, even a hot water bottle on our bed. A few basic essentials in the fridge such as milk which we weren't expecting. The bathroom and bedroom were lovely. The kitchen very well equipped. Honestly an amazing cottage with a special and peaceful feel

Lovely place for a trip away with lots of home comforts and little touches that made it special. The surrounding area is lovely and there are footpaths straight from the farm. We reccomend the Black Bull in Corbridge for food and drinks.

Lovely stay at Ailsa's place again, returning for a second visit. Everything just as perfect as we remembered it and lovely to be met again by the lit log burner and croissants ready for the morning! I'm sure we will be back again!

Great stay in a super cosy cottage just a short drive from corbridge and other points of interest. Ailsa has made sure everything you need is to hand at the cottage. The decor was rustic, homely and the attention to detail was fab. Came for a relaxing weekend and that is exactly what we had! Thanks Ailsa.

Great, comfortable accommodation with all needs catered for. Beautifully decorated, with home comforts. The log burner made the main room very warm and cosy. Constant hot water. There was a hairdryer, towels and bits of toiletries available to use. However we did take our own. Dogs are allowed so we were able to take ours with us. Good location for getting out and about in the car. We visited Durham on our way up there and visited Corbridge and Hexham during our stay where we found some great walks. We dined in the Duke of Wellington at Newton, The Wheatsheaf in Corbridge and the County Hotel in Hexham, all of which were dog friendly. I would recommend this accommodation.

Well appointed cottage in a beautiful location. Log burner made it lovely and cosy on the cold autumn nights. Ailsa is a lovely host with stables just steps across the yard so always nearby for any needs.

We had a lovely evening and night at the shepherds hut. We stayed at the end of March and the weather was unusually brilliant. The place was exactly as advertised and the fire pit with the illuminated tree was great to sit around in the evening...there was also a clear sky the night we were there and the stars were amazing. We also paid extra for the food and the stew was great. We made a donation to the owl sanctuary and Peter gave us a great tour of the various birds they have given a home to and we got to hold a Snowy Owl!

Hilary was great. We got lost on the way, and she was very helpful in getting us there. The place was amazing, and we'd love to stay again!

We are so happy we came across this amazing hut on airbnb! So cleverly designed and perfectly situated with great views. The log burner, robes, slippers, prosecco and cake made for such a special and comfortable stay. Honestly couldn't rate highly enough! Thanks again Hilary & Pete

Very peaceful, cosy hut, a lovely last minute romantic stay. Highly recommend it. Nice to watch the sheep in the field and all the tiny birds around us in the trees. Comfortable bed with everything you'd need for a short stay.

We loved the hut, it had everything we needed and was very cosy. We sat outside by the fire to enjoy the views and the stars later on in the night. Lots of wildlife! The farm has chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and we also saw pheasants, a little mouse and lots of birds outside in the trees. Hilary is the perfect host. Very welcoming. We took our own food but bought some fresh eggs for breakfast and there was a complimentary bottle of prosecco on arrival. We cannot recommend it enough.

Can't recommend highly enough. We had an amazing stay. The hut was gorgeous, and the surrounding countryside was so beautiful. The inside of the hut was incredibly cosy. The decor was lovely, and the little extras like slippers and fizz really made the stay extra special. And hearing the owls in the night was really great! We even got an hour or so outside with the fire pit before the rain set in. We'd love to stay again.

This stay is everything you could wish for and more. An excellent location with superb hosts that are friendly and approachable. The hut itself is the most incredible hidden gem- in the unspoilt countryside of Northumberland it truly is a magical peaceful retreat. All of the personal touches and the experience as a whole is a credit to Hilary and Pete, two lovely hardworking people running a lovely farm and charity. We loved seeing the birds and meeting Jess. Will definitely be returning to the hut again.

Our stay was wonderful at High Trewitley Shepherds Hut. It was so comfortable and beautiful. We had everything we needed and more! It was our 2 year anniversary and was the most romantic setting. We paid a little extra for homemade casserole and fresh hens eggs and it was definitely worth it - both delicious! ... Thank you to Hilary and Pete, for a glorious getaway. Sian and Martin x

Georgie and her husband were very welcoming hosts. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and tidy and well appointed. We brought our young dog with us and this was not a problem.

I just loved my stay with you guys and hope to see you again soon!

This is a lovely place to stay, warm and comfortable, and in a beautiful setting.

Georgie and Simon were really welcoming and relaxed and made our stay very easy. Great peaceful location and lovely atmosphere.

The farm is set in a beautiful place in the world and is owned by really friendly people. The room is cosy and quirky and being greeted with a G&T and a beer before the wedding we went to definatly topped it off. Would definatly recommend!

Jane's house has good location with tranquil scenery. And it's convenient to take bus. And the yard is really good. I recommend it.

Clean, comfortable, quiet and very convenient for all things outdoors. Helen is super friendly and a great host, and very knowledgable about the local area. We loved our stay here and would recommend to all! A delicious breakfast which set us up for a long day mountain biking. Thankyou, we hope to be back soon!

Where to start.. We loved staying with these two exceptional hosts! The house is clean, beautiful and homely, the bed large and comfortable. The village is lovely from the river to the micro pub. And the price is an true bargain. We'll not look any further for a place to stay in Northumberland now! :)

Helen and her husband are fantastic people. A couple that was worth to Know and with whom we were lucky to spend 2 days (one more than expected:-)). We could enjoy whith them sharing great conversations during the dinner and breakfast time. They have a magnific ancient house where they have lived for long and where you can feel all the love they have put in redecorate it to make you really enjoy it. They make you feel you are one more of the family. Breakfast time was delightfull, every little thing in the house was full of care. It was a deliciouse experience with many things to discover... The room and all the house was extremely cute and tidy, a really welcoming experience and the place to recover after our longs walk thorough The Cheviots . The fresh eggs from their hens, the handmade marmalades, the fresh vegetables from their garden.... everything do we recomend to enjoy! Thanks a lot for being such a great people and hosts!

A lovely host in a great house, never felt anywhere so welcome as we have here. Helen goes out of her way to accommodate her guests. the rooms and facilities are top and a cosy breakfast was the best start to the day. Can't wait to spend another weekend there.

Highly recommended - a lovely, comfortable place to stay. Helen is an excellent host - very friendly and helpful. Fenton is quiet and picturesque, handy for visiting Alnwick, Amble and surrounding area. Can also recommend the microbrewery! :-)
