Cosy well-furnished 3 double-bed house on edge of Northumberland National Park

Two retired couples, we have just had an excellent stay at Sawmill. Very comfortable, extremely spacious and yet cosy, the location and facilities of this property made it an excellent choice and it was perfect for our needs. The large dining kitchen is well supplied with all equipment and utensils that are often missing from rented accommodation. Excellent powerful downstairs shower, and both bathrooms kept in pristine condition. Plenty of hot water, and responsive heating system. Staircase up to first floor is fairly steep but the handrail on either side made it all very accessible for those with any mobility issues. Upstairs lounge has a beautiful view, and the balcony is a real bonus. Some have commented on the preponderance of owners’ items around the house but in our view this just added to the feeling of being in a home from home. What might be of interest to others booking Sawmill is that the Spar shop, a few minutes walk away, has an excellent range of goods. We had taken almost all our food and drink requirements with us but could easily have got what we needed just around the corner! Finally the level of communication from the host both before and during our stay was excellent.

Comfortable with great view: owner’s possessions very much in evidence, sometimes crowding out space for one’s own stuff. But overall , a good choice.

Fabulous cottage in a quiet setting. Airy and light & welcoming. Nice big dining kitchen with (more than!) everything we needed. View from sitting room over the hills was lovely. A great position to trek out from - so near to Cragside National Trust, which is a must! We also visited Wallington & Gibside NT & Holy Island. Thankyou for entrusting us with your home from home - we will definitely be back to explore more of this beautiful area.

Nice clean comfortable house. 3 bedrooms, lovely lounge with great view. Rothbury 2 min drive. Cragside 5 min drive. Hexham and Hadrians Wall 1 hour drive. Coast 40 min drive. Chris the host very friendly 👍

Lovely 3 bedroomed cottage in a very quiet village, no obvious shops but 2 very nice pubs serving good food. The cottage is extremely well equipped , the lounge with a balcony is upstairs for very apparent reasons once you arrive. My granddaughter is only 2.5 years old but she managed the stairs very easily, nice a gentle. Also equipment available for a baby/ toddler.including, travel cot, stair gate etc. We will definitely stay here again. Great property.

Property is far bigger than we expected and there was plenty of space for a family of 5 and a dog. Very comfortable and had everything we needed for a self catering holiday. Situated in a lovely setting with good pubs in walking distance. Great walks too. Would love to come back and spend longer here.

Really nice cottage in great location not to far from sites we planned to visit would definitely come back

The owner couldn’t have been more obliging & helpful. Will use the property again without doubt!

Well equipped had everything you needed. Handy for a super pub next door. Spacious and excellent showers. As it’s a holiday home also there was loads of owners belongings around house and in kitchen cupboards.

Well provisioned cottage in a beautiful and quiet location, with an excellent pub next door. Plenty to see and do within an hour's drive. The host was very flexible and helpful in adapting to our last minute changes of plans due to the Covid pandemic.
