The Cottage

"We have had a wonderful stay, The Cottage is perfect for a family and the village is lovely."

"What an enchanting cottage! It is snug and tucked-away and cosy, but also clean, modern and with every possible amenity. We spent a lovely ten days here, going out to enjoy the scenery and the coast during the day and coming back home to spend our time in front of the fire in the evenings. Highly recommended!"

"I loved the cottage.  It was just perfect for me, the things I dread in a holiday property were totally absent. 

It was bliss and even the fire worked properly with a fabulous supply of kindling and logs. I prefer to a fire to central heating so really appreciated this. 

This was a new area to me and will be back to explore more.

And Crabtree service 5 star as always, rarely book with any other holiday company now."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cottage. It was very comfortable, quiet, cosy and welcoming. It is situated in a lovely little village which was ideal for walking with the dog and for visits to local attractions. We met some lovely people from the village when out walking the dog who were happy to chat and advise us on things to see and do. The cottage catered for all our needs and we really appreciated the welcome pack, even a couple of doggie cakes for Dylan our dog."

"Beautiful cottage & location. Will definitely book again in future. Also booking with your good selves was problem free and much appreciated."

"The Cottage is a lovely small but perfectly formed place to stay. It is extremely well equipped, warm and very comfortable. The garden is a pleasant spot to sit in and the summer house really does enable guests to get the most out of the outside space in cooler weather and the evening. The wood burner is easy to use and there is a plentiful supply of wood. The village is extremely quiet and we only saw a few dog walkers (very friendly) and children( also friendly). The proximity to Flodden is wonderful and we really enjoyed a walk around the whole site learning about the fateful battle. The whole area is just brimming with history, one day we did a spectacular walk around ‘Hotspurs’ Humbleton Hill in the National Park, one of hundreds of fought over sites. We walked some of the coast and enjoyed walking over in Holy Island and loved our visit to Cragside. So The Cottage is perfectly located for both countryside and coast and a great place to kick off our boots and rest our weary feet at the end of every day."

"Just to let you know we had a wonderful time and the cottage was delightful. Please thank the owners again for their kindness in allowing us to holiday Sunday to Sunday. There was so much to do and nowhere near enough time so I'm sure we'll be back and will definitely use Crabtree & Crabtree!"

"We had a lovely holiday at The Cottage which is very well fitted out with a really secluded and attractive garden."

"We had a very enjoyable few days at the cottage. We found that it had everything we needed and was just as it looked on the website. Ted (the dog) enjoyed his treats and the garden!" 

"I just wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful stay at The Cottage. It was the perfect place for a relaxing, quiet and cosy getaway. I loved everything about the cottage and the location. I had been wanting to stay at this particular cottage ever since I read about it in CN Traveller magazine but didn't have the opportunity until now. I was delighted see that it was a C&C property having previously rented with yourselves and knowing what high standard properties you have. Please pass on my thanks and compliments to the owners. The Cottage was lacking for nothing and the welcome basket was extremely thoughtful right down to the doggy treats! Please let them know that I thought the garden looked wonderful, even at this time of year! It was great having access to a drying room for muddy boots and dog. The log burner was marvellous to use at this chilly time of year. It worked so efficiently I didn't need to have the central heating on out with the timed settings. The only downside was that I found it very hard to leave the cosy comforts of the living room to venture further afield! All in all, a perfect stay. 10 out of 10 from me. Whenever the opportunity arises I always recommend C&C to family and friends. Apart from the outstanding quality of the accommodations on offer and their locations, I particularly love the fact that, apart from peak holiday times, there is generally no specific arrival day so for short breaks you can more or less choose what day you arrive and leave. That is quite rare for rental properties. It just makes planning a break so much easier. It is also marvellous that if you want to bring your dog you have a good choice of dog friendly properties which is another good reason for recommending your company. I'm looking forward to the next opportunity I get to take a break - and trying out another C&C property!"

"We had a fabulous holiday - The Cottage was just perfect. Can't recommend Crabtree & Crabtree highly enough. We have stayed in Northumberland many times, but this was by far the best holiday, accommodation and service we have encountered."

"Thank you, we had a fantastic holiday. The Cottage was nice and the weather great, what more could we ask for? You might see us back looking for next year."

"We enjoyed our stay at The Cottage so much. Everything was made with love. The interior, the little welcome basket, the very good information, the very good tasting sherry :-) and so much more. Thank you very much for all this. When we come to the Scottish Borders again we will book with Crabtree & Crabtee again. Your service is excellent and the team are very, very friendly."

"Lovely little cottage well situated to explore north Northumberland."
