This is probably the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in! Everything is top quality, from the decor, furnishings and equipment to the warm welcome and helpful owners.

A fantastic property for our annual family Christmas gathering. The house is extremely well equipped, spacious yet cosy with a variety of well thought out spaces to enjoy. A lovely welcome from the hosts and beautifully decorated for Christmas, with some extra special touches. We had a truly memorable time.

David

A superbly equipped house. This property genuinely is suitable for 10 people. The kitchen is very well equipped and Chefs will not be disappointed! If you are lucky with the weather the outdoor dining experience is a treat and a sundowner around the fire pit a must. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners to make your stay perfect. Location is g ood for numerous attraction and if you are a cyclist the railway path behind gives access to miles of traffic free riding. 5 Stars!

Carol

Lovely place to stay. The kitchen was well equipped. A great place for all our family. Would go again. The owners are lovely and available should you need them. Lanchester is a short walk and a lovely village.

James

Fully stocked, no expense spared & a very nice & comfortable place to stay.

Debbie

This was a wonderful fully equipped house you basically wanted for nothing. Rooms were very spacious and some lovely surprises of two unique rooms. Lucy met and welcomed us to the house to answer any question we might have had, Dave was slao there when we had a problem with one of our cards, all in all they were both were very helpful and friendly. A place not to be missed.

Martin

With great living space downstairs and five generous en-suite bedrooms upstairs, Meadow View provided excellent holiday accommodation for the whole family. The accommodation was clean and lacked for nothing in terms of equipment and facilities. And finally a special thanks to the owners, Lucy and Dave, for all their friendly help.

Jean

Meadow View is a top-rate holiday house with a designer flare! All the furnishings and equipment are to a very high standard and it was a pleasure to stay there. We are a group of friends who holiday together regularly and this was the best house so far. One of our dogs is an escape wizard, but she was completely foiled this time as the beautiful l arge garden really is dog proof. Walks directly from the house were much enjoyed by all, especially along the well surfaced disused railway line.

Julia

This was one of the best holiday homes we have ever stayed at . We were a multi-generational family group and the 5 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms was perfect . The house was very well equipped and everything was top quality. We loved the hot tub and the garden and enjoyed walking on the Lanchester Valley Path. As this was a special celebration, we hired Mike, the chef that Lucy suggested, for a fine dining birthday meal. It was fabulous and we throughly recommend this to anyone thinking of it

Ian

Terrific house in a terrific place with great pubs and activities nearby.

Mark

We stayed at Meadow View House in the week of a family funeral and it made a perfect setting for us to gather in a comfortable, homely, convivial setting. The house is beautifully furnished and equipped, in a beautiful setting with good walks nearby. We were there in winter and it was cosy, but it looks like a tremendous place to go in sunnier weat her with its lovely garden and outdoor facilities. Lucy and Dave were perfect, responsive hosts and the information provided about the hous is superb.

We stayed just before Christmas and the house was beautiful, well laid out, bedrooms were marvellous. Loved the ensuite in the cupboard and the cupboard under the stairs. Very, very cold outside and the house was lovely and warm. Great house for a family gathering. We have a lovely time.

Moira

This property is an amazing place for a holiday. The house itself is clean, comfortable and has many practical and fun features. The welcome was very much appreciated and the local eating places were all of a high standard. We were able to easily relax and enjoy our time together with friends, going for walks, eating out, eating in, and generally h aving a fun time, with no pressures. We certainly will go back again as we would also like time to explore more of the area.

Rachel

This house is absolutely stunning. Each room is beautifully furnished with lots of interesting features. The welcome hamper was amazing, the hot tub was fantastic and Lucy the owner was incredibly helpful. The house is very well situated and much nearer to the village than wed expected so just a short walk to nice restaurants and cafes. I would def initely recommend this property and hope to come back one day.

The Borders Clan had a great stay at Meadow View House. There were 3 families in the house all with children ranging from 1 to 10yrs old and the house was perfect. The lovely open plan kitchen with modern spec was great and enjoyed by all at breakfast and Teatime. The bedrooms were lovely, really comfy, clean and all had on suits which was really h andy. We spent the day at digger land "i would highly recommend for all ages" (even the adults) also the kings head for Sunday roast. Thanks again.

David

An extremely comfortable and well equipped house in an excellent, quiet location, but a short walk along the Lanchester Valley railway path into the town with shops and restaurants. The railway path runs behind the house and gives access to a number of interesting walks around the area

Christie

Honestly one of the most beautiful places I have stayed. Hosts couldnt of done enough and it was equipped with everything you could need. Cant wait to return in the future!

Gill

Everything was just perfect, beautiful house, great facilities and a wonderful warm welcome! The hot tub was just fabulous, rooms so well appointed right through the house and every last thing you would want is there for all ages....toys, games, cooking facilities, everything! The welcome pack was way more than we have ever had in other properties and so wonderful to see the range of local goods and produce - even down to eggs from the farm laid that very morning. Spectacular!

Fagie

We spent an amazing 2 weeks at Meadow View! The house is elegant, comfortable, and has attention to detail on par with accommodation designed by an interior designer! The gardens too are delightfully designed with vibrant flowerbeds, hot tub, birdfeeders and a variety of seating overlooking rolling hills! Thank you to our absolutely wonderful hosts Lucy, Gwen and Peter who went out of their way before our arrival and during our stay to ensure that we had a most memorable holiday!

Allan

An absolute gem of a place to stay to experience all the local area has to offer. Serenely quiet with fantastic views yet still close enough to the village for a morning stroll to grab a bite to eat and the perfect base for wider adventures. The gardens are lovely and the outside entertaining and relaxing space, including hot tub, are ideal. The li ving space is great for entertaining/dining with friends and family. The owners have gone the extra mile. We cant recommend Meadowview House enough.

Claire

Thank you Lucy and Dave for a warm welcome to your exceptional house. We had a super family time celebrating our son's graduation in Newcastle. The weather has been perfect for eating outside, enjoying the hot tub and lovely walks into Lanchester and the surrounding area. The house is wonderful, so well decorated, great for large groups. We all enj oyed time together in the open plan dinning / kitchen / conservatory area and the outdoor area is well-equipped. Every care has been taken.
