The location was amazing and the views were incredible (especially with a clear sky at night). The accomodation was spacious and pleasant. Tea towels and cleaning products were provided which was very appreciated.
Had to clean the top of the hob and the cutlery on both lodges as they were dirty. The mug tree in Pheasant lodge was covered in thick dust. Mattresses in Reivers Lodge need renewing. Had an issue with the heating being broken in Pheasant Lodge (contacted staff about it) which meant it couldn't be turned down so was incredibly hot and uncomfortable. Key for pheasant lodge very difficult to get out of lock.

Great location, would stay there again. Very nice cottage and spacious.
A couple of things need mending (such as toilet seat and door handles). Would be nice to have had shelves in the bathroom for wash bags etc. Would also have been nice to have some shower gel there - these little extras really take it up a level and not very costly.

The location
There was no name on the property and not having the Email 24 hours before I was left in the dark. I had to speak to a neighbour to get the wifi code and number of the cleaner to make a whatsapp call to find this out.
I had tried to make contact, several times, through Bookin.com to no avail as the owners number went to answer phone on every occasion.
Had I not has to good fortune to bump into a neighbour I would have been stranded, with no accomodation, for the night as there is no mobile signal, ( as there was no mobile signal I could not pickup the Email, about the property, that was sent about nineteen hours late.) The property has no name on it and the key box number on the confirmation Email was wrong.
I will say that when I had the WIFI code and contacted the cleaner she was very pleasant and reassuring.
I took the liberty of placing one of the property's cushions, with a pheasant on it, in the window to assist the next guest in identifying the property.
The central heating was not working (problem with Hive type thermostat not communicating with hub). There were,though,electric radiators which I had to did out and set up. I shouldn't have to do this.
Because of the above I we could not have a shower because of no heating in the bathroom (very cold in there)

Very peaceful location, the lodge was so cozy and accepted more than 2 dogs. Stunning views and great walks near by.

Beautiful and quiet location perfect for hill walking. We enjoyed sitting outside on the decking in the evening sun with a glass of wine. The heating system worked well and kept us warm. The night sky was amazing due to the dark area around the property. Good value for money.
The property didn’t have a name label on it so it took some detective work to figure out which was ours, largely by a process of elimination. A name plate would have helped.

Great location for outdoor activities. No mobile signal was good!
TV wasn't working and impossible to figure out. Old toaster was tricky. Not showstoppers though.

The location
The property wasn’t particularly clean, the bedding and towels were fine however there was a lot of missed areas like cobwebs and dust. The cottage was lacking in some essentials I.E baking trays/oven dishes. Also the sink in the upstairs bathroom was blocked on arrival. However we do feel it was good value for money at the rate we paid :)

Location
Lack of information about the local area was missing in our brochure. We didn't know there was a pub and shop only 5 mins away.
Given the remote location it would have been nice to have a few more basics..ie a sponge for washing up /a tea towel? This did not detract from the holiday.

Beautiful serene location which was without question the best feature, quiet and peaceful with stunning views and some really gorgeous walks right on the doorstep. Rooms are really spacious, and the kitchen was well equipped. Good WiFi connection and great water pressure in the shower. Downstairs toilet, big kitchen, washing machine and dryer etc. Good value for money given it was peak season in August.
The cottage didn’t have a name on it (Cheviot) which was a little confusing, so we guessed it was ours as the key was in the door after a little walk around. The cottage does really need some updating and although it was perfectly adequate for our time there and well equipped, it was just a little tired. It was clean but just needs some proper TLC and new mattresses (they aren’t that comfy) to go from good to a brilliant stay, but I would stay again as it is.

Inside much more welcoming than the outside. Spacious enough for two friends to enjoy. Beds were comfortable and clean. Property in the main was clean. Good array of crockery, cutlery etc. Plenty towels and some toiletries if required. Property overall inside is very light and airy.
The outside of the property could do with some work, garden was rather uninviting. Entire outside doesn’t give a good impression, needs some work. Rather concerned regarding the dry timber at back of the property next to gas tank! Certain parts interior wise need updating some areas looking tired. Bathroom lacked any blind, curtain etc felt rather exposed! Shower provided plenty of hot water although it did fill up very quickly, not sure if issue with drainage, around the shower doors needed a deep clean. Would have benefitted from some instructions for the oven/grill. No bags provided to place laundry/towels on departure as requested in folder.

Location was remote but short walk to two pubs. Lovely walks from the door. Compact Lodge, but roomy enough for us and the dog. Nice terrace to sit out on and to watch the sheep in the field. Loved watching the birds feeding in the morning.
Only one wine glass so used tumblers. Bed not the most comfortable but we still slept well. None of this spoilt our time there.

This was out second stay at the cottage, it's perfect for a dog friendly stay with an enclosed garden.
The owners are very welcoming and friendly. Great walks from the doorstep, one of our favourite places to stay.

Location is great for exploring Northumberland. Quiet, nice pubs within easy distance. Cottage is a great size and could easily accommodate a family.
There was a problem with leakage from the upstairs bathroom into the area directly below it downstairs. This was reported and will hopefully be dealt with quickly.

The views only
The property and area needed up dating , it was very shabby, marked furniture and stained sofas, gardens were overgrown very very unkempt. We struggled to find the lodge we were staying in not lodge name it must have fallen off.
The owner never answered our phone call or assisted at all, we were two day with out hot water, but Jackie the housekeeper was excellent , nothing was to much trouble for her.
In the information on your website it says there is a telephone on the site, apparently that existed for two years.
The pictures attached will show you the gardens and decking, and all so the shed with the phone in it.
To say we were disappointed is an understatement, I feel the owners of the property should reimburse us the full amount we paid . Please see attached photos. Mrs Barbara Cooper

Lack of cafetière, chopping boards

Greet location & a lovely cottage. Lots of space & areas to sit. Comfortable beds & good sized bedrooms. Huge kitchen & plenty of cooking equipment.
Weren’t any curtains in upstairs twin bedroom & only one set in other. Not sure if owners are aware?! We used spare towels to cover windows

Lovely location and comfortable beds. Great for a few days away
Just a bath with no shower attachment. Sofas could do with updating. Could do with some where to hang towels and the mirror in the main bedroom needs to be near a socket.

The cottage itself is a fantastic building, really spacious and in a great location to use as a base to explore the area, really warm with a lovely conservatory area at the entrance to the cottage itself
Having read a few more reviews of the property nearer the time of our visit I was a little worried about some other travellers concerns around the state of the property as far as in it’s being left in an unclean state and things not being attended to…unfortunately I was proven right, with other peoples complaints not only not being take seriously but also not being rectified right down to the same bulbs/lights not working and the many many cobwebs and spiders everywhere, and I know they exist but if you clean they are to a minimum not like this. The owners have the place up for sale for £1.4 million, potential buyers should stay for a few nights to make sure their offer reflects the current state of the properties. Also we had a very dangerous chair that was already broken and had been pushed back together and left which very nearly causal father in law of 70 to fall, and my 2 yr old almost put her arm into a vase which was already broken with an exposed ragged edge, it wasn’t a recent break, cleaning staff do not do their job. Such a shame the potential is high the product is stagnating

The rural location and peace and quietness
The decking to the entrance of the property has several weak boards and the lack of blinds in the bathroom does not make it very private plus the smoke alarm in the kitchen goes off very easily when cooking also the toilet in the bathroom is very uncomfortable to use I would personally do away with the bath as it is very small and fit a larger shower and reposition the toilet to make it more user friendly especially for larger people apart from that the property is excellent

Value for money, ease of checking in/checking out. Very peaceful.
Curtains let in lots of light in the mornings, drive way very uneven, but these are very small things

Loved the location , and the quirky ness of the cottage , dark skies quite
Property was very dated as was the information package that was there , furniture was very uncomfortable , tv don’t work (not that it was a issue for us) was clean to look at but was extremely dusty behind/under furniture . Plugs in sink and shower
Fridge was had ice on back which cause some of our food items to freeze
Few things could of don’t maintain wise outside on decking
Obviously we don’t know at the time it was up for sale but makes sense as to why it seemed slightly neglected as it was a beautiful place and somewhere where would consider returning to if improvements where made

Great location, quiet but not remote. Two pubs with very good food within walking distance. Comfortable living areas, excellent bathroom. Clean and tidy.
Delay in receiving access code. Problem over cabin we'd booked meant we were relocated, and second bedroom was very small, with bunk beds, which were not ideal for my 70-year old back and knees!
