Blacksmiths Shop Reviews

Stella

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location but near so many places to visit! We loved the fire and the hot tub and boss the friendly doggy. The underfloor hearting was lovely and the feature of the bellows and tools in the kitchen was fab!

Kevin

This is a very clever conversion from a blacksmiths shop which provides very cosy warm accommodation. The area is stunning and there are so many things to see and do. The local pub is great and whilst you will feel remote there are towns nearby with everything you will need. Overall this is a really good cottage.

Stephen

Great cottage, really well equipped, specd to a really high standard, and in a great location for peace and quiet and star gazing. The features in the cottage linking it to its history were unique and really made it a special place to stay. Will definitely look to return as we had such a great week. And we loved Boss the dog!

Adam

Lovely accommodation, renovated beautifully with everything you need for a short stay. The location is out of the way of busy roads, but close enough to the local pub by short walk. Would highly recommend.

Karen

Well equipped & comfortable cottage. Peaceful location. Pity the weather didnt allow any star gazing! Ideal location for visiting Hadrians Wall.

David

A brilliant holiday cottage for that get away from it all break ideally placed to visit the surrounding area with good access a beautiful part of the country

Penny

A comfy cottage, well equipped, set in beautiful countryside. Excellent for those wishing to stay away from it all and keen to enjoy walking in the countryside.

Mark

What a great base The Blacksmiths shop is for exploring the stunning area of the North Pennines AONB and Northumberland National Park. The property certainly lives up to its description- tastefully and sympathetically restored. We especially like the way that the old bellows and forge have been built into the well equipped kitchen. The waterfall sh ower in the wet room and hot tub are also welcome features. All in all a lovely property and one we would be happy to return to.

LOUISE

What a superb cottage which tells a story as soon as you walk into the kitchen and see the forge and bellows. The rest of the cottage is very much in keeping with the theme. Location is excellent and cottage is superbly equipped - deluge shower is invigorating, hot tub private and very close to property, underfloor heating meant we were barefoot in February. Lovely arrival gifts and Kirsty also on hand to answer any queries. TV with Amazon Prime etc was a perfect finishing touch

Tim

Lovely cottage with great views and location for exploring this part of the country. Welcoming host provided everything we needed - the accommodation could not have been better.

Bernedette

We opted for a Christmas weekend getaway from the city. Perfect quiet location close enough to the abundance of things available to see and do within an hour's drive (or further if you wish). Perfectly self contained with all the amenities you need and nothing seemingly too much if you forget anything. Special thanks to the owners for quickly posti ng me my ring I'd left in the kitchen!

Peter

Fantastic cottage in the middle of beautiful countryside. Kirsty made us very welcome from the off and we had a wonderfully relaxing stay. Highly recommend staying here

Rebecca

Beautiful well equipped cottage in a lovely location.

Shannon

Beautiful cosy cottage, great location and lovely owners. We will definitely return!

Susie

Great place to stay for families or couples. Perfect base for exploring the Northumberland coastline and the North Pennines. Very well equipped and clean cottage made for a perfect vacation. Owners were lovely too. Highly recommended!

Valerie

Well equipped, stunning location and very comfortable

Inderjit

Really loved our stay here- the property is so full of character, yet has every modern comfort one could expect. The hot tub was lovely even in the snowy weather we had, especially on a clear, dark night- so many stars visible. One thing to note: when we stayed there were no bathrobes or towels supplied for getting to and from the hot tub (we used the spare towels from the second bedroom as there were only 2 of us). Worth checking with the owner before you set off if you need to pack them!

Anthony

Lovely location, suffering with a lack of privacy!

David

We couldnt fault the place, everything was as advertised and expected. The owner was really pleasant and friendly in her communication. The property is well kitted out and furnished / styled to a excellent standard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and will highly recommend to friends and family.

Bethany

Very lovely accommodation. The cottage was very clean and suited all our needs. All the finer details were thought of and appreciated. The hot tub facilities were brilliant and private and added an additional touch of luxury.

Linda

Stunning location and facility. Loved it. Everything was as it was on the advertisement. Could not have asked for more.

Catherine

Cosy and comfortable oasis in the middle of the countryside. The property itself was spotless and clean with everything you would need for your stay. Its next to the farm but you were never disturbed or really noticed. Location is 10mins away from walks, shops, historic sights, but if all you want to do is soak in the hot tub and enjoy the througho ut underfloor heating then its a perfect place either way.

Rosalind

Beautifully renovated property. Very cozy with the underfloor heating. Hot tub a great addition. We had a great adults only 4 days there!

Scott

Outstanding!!! Had such an amazing stay ! We were made very welcome and very comfortable and everything you could need was provided. Its a beautiful location ,very quiet . Only a short drive to Allendale with a couple of lovely hotels/bars and a Co-Op supermarket. The host was so generous and helpful, everything was absolutely perfect; our every ne ed was catered to and the accommodation was extremely luxurious. Will definitely be back!

Andrew

We had a lovely stay at the blacksmiths cottage, kirsty and her team could not have been more accommodating. The cottage was very clean and well presented. Our 2 year old loved the farm and very quickly befriended the animals. On clear nights we used the telescope to look at the moon and stars which in a dark sky environment is completely different to doing at home. We will be back.

Robert

High end finish building, standard is amazing. Loved that so many old features were able to be kept, it preserves them for people to see and appreciate - the kitchen is unique and full of character - you can imagine the Blacksmiths of years gone by - wish we could give you more than a 5 star rating for this. The surrounding area is just beautiful a nd so peaceful, and at night the stars are so clear (telescopes provided are a perfect touch) You couldn't do enough to help and were so welcoming

Ann

A lovely clean and comfortable cottage with underfloor heating and hot tub. The welcome pack including bread, butter, milk etc was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Although in a quiet and peaceful location only a short drive from Allendale with pubs, small supermarket. cafe etc. A good location for visiting places such as Adrians wall and Hexha m. Throughly enjoyed our 4 night stay and would recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing break.
