Lovely clean property which was nice to have on suite bathrooms in all of the bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. It would have been nice to have a welcome pack as its classed as a luxury property. Also no heating on upstairs . Not even towel rail to dry your towel. Pub although walking distance there is no path so your walking on a road. Lovely placeRead more to go with a group of friends to use hottub and chill. Hide

The location of the cottage was splendid with far-reaching views over the beautiful landscape. We have seen also the stars and part of the Milky Way! The cottage itself, Blinkers Stable, was excellent: plenty of space, an extensive kitchen with all the mod cons and all bedrooms are ensuite. Also many public footpaths to wander around. NorthumberlanRead mored had far more to offer than we had anticipated. Hide

Blinkers Stables was a lovely peaceful place. The kitchen is well equipped and there is plenty of space for 8 people. The en suite for every room is very much appreciated, while also having a down stairs loo too. The underfloor heating is lovely (we were there in a cold wet July!). Overall it was a lovely place to stay and I would recommend it for family group holidays.

The accommodation was outstanding with a short drive to the nearest market town. I would highly recommend for a countryside break away.

Carol

8 of us stayed at Blinkers and could honestly not fault it at all. We arrived and met the lovely Kirsty who made us feel welcome and had provided us with fresh bread, milk, butter, eggs Prosecco and a cake as it was my husbands birthday. The location was beautiful and easy enough to find thanks to the directions provided and the accommodation was s potless. Lovely comfy beds, beautiful ensuites, fully equipped kitchen, log burner in sitting area and a lovely hot tub, sitting area and bbq outside.

Sam

Absolutely beautiful house and setting. Very well equipped and the hot tub was fabulous. The house is decorated to a very high spec and the kitchen in particular is very well done. As 4 tired mum's, we particularly enjoyed how quiet the stairs are and the doors too (very strange I know). The host was excellent throughout, good communication but not intrusive throughout our stay. We enjoyed it so much, we're making it an annual vacation.
