Holiday Reviews from the Owners’ site

" We've had another wonderful break at this gorgeous cottage. Thank you Anna for the perfect welcoming 'pack' -so thoughtful. Can't wait to come back". Family N. High Peak Derbyshire

"...Travelling with an 18 month old is never easy but coming here was relatively stress free. Having toys and nursery equipment to use has made the weekend relaxing for mum and dad....one more lovely evening of a roaring fire, glass of wine....ahh! we'll miss this place!" Family L. Monkseaton Tyne and Wear

"Two adults and three children from Norway have spent some very nice days here. The cottage is extraordinary, both charming and practical. This part of Northumberland was ideal for a family holiday. We have been cycling, walking, looking at castles, sheep and rabbits. Happy valley was a beautiful place and the coastline is amazing. Thanks for all the information both on the web site and at the cottage. And many thanks to Anna for being friendly and helpful by e-mail. We really enjoyed our stay." H. Olsen, Norway

"Family Moon with E aged 7 and W aged 2 had a fantastic week. The variety of activities in the cottage for both boys was wonderful and only a week to do them - we shall have to come back and do some we have missed soon. We can heartily recommend the Tankerville Arms in Eglingham - not the cheapest perhaps, but good food is always good value!" The Moon Family, Luton
