Couple from Crewe, United Kingdom Jun 2025

We had a lovely two week stay at The Croft in Rothbury. This was our third stay at the cottage, but at a different time of year. The house has so much history and we love the big rooms and beautiful views from every window. The house is very homely and the bed is so comfortable. There is a piano and plenty of sheet music should you wish to play.

Cathy made sure we had everything we needed. She is a lovely lady and and provided a delicious welcome pack which contained homemade jam and marmalade. Cathy lives next door but you would never know as she is not intrusive.

The cottage garden is beautiful and a haven for wildlife. the scent of the flowers is beautiful when you sit on the terrace in the evening with a glass of wine. We were so lucky with the weather. Our two dogs loved the garden as it is secure. We could just let them out to play.

There are walks from the door in all directions and Cragside is a very short drive away (or walk if you are feeling brave). There is a good circular route downhill to the main street in Rothbury and back for any shopping needs or to visit a local café or pub. The cottage provided a good base for visiting plenty of places. Alnwick is 30 minutes away for bigger shops and superstores. There is also Barter Books which is a famous bookshop set in an old railway station and Alnwick Castle which is used as a filming location. We also visited Edlingham, Craster, Lindisfarne, Seahouses. Beadnell, Boulmer and Alnmouth have small but free car parks right next to the beach. Amble is a lovely and has the best fish and chip shop we have ever been to. We also visited lots of other villages and locations where Geocaching took us. Northumberland is very dog friendly and we love the ruggedness of the area. It is a beautiful county.

Thank you so much Cathy for our stay. We hope to be back in the future.

Thank you so much for your informative review. You certainly packed a lot into your stay. We are fortunate in Rothbury as we are in the middle of this lovely county so it is easy to get to the coast and castles, to the east, the Roman wall, Hexham and Corbridge to the south, the Cheviots and National Park to the West and the Scottish Borders and the ancient Abbeys to the North with lots of gardens, nature reserves and historic houses and churches in between.

We had a lovely stay at the Croft. The house is very comfortable, warm and homely with everything you need. The beds have good quality mattresses which, along with the peace and quiet made for an excellent nights sleep.
The views from the front of the cottage are stunning with an accessible garden.
The drive to the property is a little steep with just enough room to turn at the bottom but we didn't encounter any problems.
Rothbury is a nice little town with pubs and places to eat out. Had a lovely meal at La Mensa. Rothbury is a good base for sightseeing around Northumberland. We were able to visit Cragside, Chillingham castle, Morpeth, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Amble, Alnwick and thanks to Cathy the owners recommendation the lovely area of Etal and Ford.
Cathy is a good host, friendly and helpful and available if needed. Thank you Cathy for the loan of your beautiful house.

I have run my holiday cottage for over 10 years now and enjoy providing guests with the little extras that ensure they have a great holiday. I live next door to The Croft so am on hand if guests need any help but the cottage is very private with its own terrace and garden.
