Great location to explore Northumberland castles.

Cosy cottage ideal for a single traveller or couple. Complete with woodburning stove and range cooker. Debra, the owner had baked a delicious cake and left milk in the fridge. So I could have a quick cuppa before unpacking. She was very knowledgeable about places I might like to visit. I also followed her suggestions for places to eat. I was happily surprised when she brought over a bowl of first crop, home grown strawberries 🍓 😋. I believe that Debra was very keen for me to enjoy my stay and if I had any issues, I didn't, she would have happily resolved them for me.

Great base for walkers

Lovely, cosy cottage providing everything you could possibly need. Clean and comfortable, lovely big bath towels, lots of hot water and a pint of milk and a delicious cake for us on arrival. Our hostess, Debra, is a lovely friendly lady who keeps goats and chickens on her smallholding, so there are fresh eggs available. It's located on a fairly busy main road but the triple glazing at the front works so well you hardly notice. The location is good for Alnwick (castle, gardens) and Rothbury (Cragside, Simonside hills) and an easy run south to Morpeth and north to Wooler and the Scottish Borders. A good central location for walkers. I highly recommend Briar Cottage.

I wasn't over keen on exiting the drive close to a fairly busy main road junction, however it is easy access for travelling in any direction!

We will definitely be back

The cottage was absolutely perfect, everything at hand that we could want and gifts of fresh flowers and a homemade cake on arrival. Hosts were fantastic, very friendly, happy to give advice and also introduced us to some of the animals. Lovely location, some good walks around to test the legs. We got in a trip to see the puffins on the Farne Islands and also an evening a Kielder Observatory, 2 items ticked off my bucket list. Thank you so much for a fabulous break x

My partner did struggle with sleeping in the bed comfortably but at 6ft 5 he always has issues, no fault of the property or host, but keep in mind if you are on the tall side. Property is next to a busy road which may bother some people but we had no issues and it wasn't very noisy at all.

Lovely cottage and perfect location

The cottage was lovely, everything that you would need. I went at Easter and the cottage had a few themed ornaments and I was treated to small Easter eggs, flowers, homemade cake and milk. Such a lovely touch. There was wood for the fire and central heating if needed. A lovely relaxing place to be!

There was nothing that I didn't like.

It was a great introduction to Northumberland

Breakfast not supplied. We were met with a delicious sponge cake, flowers, milk, tea and coffee which was an excellent way to welcome guests.

The accommodation was all excellent but for absolute perfection the lighting downstairs could have been brighter.

A perfect relaxing break, it was just what we needed.

The location was fantastic, Northumberland is a beautiful county. It was quiet & picturesque.

The weather on the first two days but the hosts couldn't do anything about that!

10.0 / 10.0

A perfectly cosy cottage surrounding by the beautiful Northumberland landscape.

we loved everything about the property - it was really well equipped, warm and cosy, comfortable, private and a really beautiful place to rest. The cottage sits in a beautiful area of Northumberland and perfectly accessible from the main roads, with towns nearby a 5-10 minute drive. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and Debra was a wonderful host - leaving us fresh milk, eggs, cake and we’ll stocked tea and coffee. I would really recommend this cottage and we’d love to come back.

Absolutely amazing, well worth the year set back due to COVID and we will certainly return

A charming cottage, modernly decorated and well equipped. Very cosy and welcominging. Situated in an excellent location from which to explore Northumberland. Really friendly owners who made us feel welcome at every opportunity.

In my opinion there is nothing to dislike about Briar Cottage, some may find it too far away from local amenities particularly if you are looking for a short walk to the local pub. But for me it was perfect.
