The Bothy at Ivy Cottage

The Bothy is a beautifully renovated building which is perfect for a couple for short term self catering with breakfast supplied. Fearga and Graham are very welcoming and make you feel very much at home. Fearga supplies a delicious continental breakfast with many choices. Everything was fresh and there was more than ample to set you up for the day. There is a very practical small kitchenette which allows you to prepare light meals in the evening. The bed was very comfortable and the shower great ! There is a small terrace outside which would be lovely on a warm evening.The Bothy is very well situated to explore the Hadrians Wall area aswell as the North Penines . There are countless activities available.

Absolutely nothing !

Fantastic hosts thank you both. Couldn't ask for more. The Bothy is perfect. Wonderfully comfortable, extremely clean, warm and more than enough for anyone who wants to escape. A credit to you both thank you.

It was far too quiet....Joking of course!

My visit was truly wonderful and provided the quiet getaway I needed. The property is positioned perfectly to explore the Northumberland countryside, Yorkshire Dales and is not far from the Lake district and Scotland. You really can’t go in the wrong direction. Before I proceed, I should mention that this review is actually for The Ivy Cottage, not for The Bothy, as I had originally booked. A few days prior to my arrival, my generous hosts offered me an upgrade from the quaint and rustic bothy, to their gorgeous and spacious ground floor apartment known as The Ivy Cottage. What a kind gesture! The Ivy Cottage is immaculate, beautifully decorated & clearly planned for the comfort and convenience of the traveler. From the delicious, local breakfast provisions, teas & snacks, the soothing bedding, modern bathroom, wood/coal burning fireplace, comfortable tv lounge and a library of great reads & travel guides, you can’t ask for much more. Fearga & Graham were consummate hosts. Friendly, knowledgeable and very approachable. They truly went out of their way to make sure that my stay was everything I hoped it would be. I’m certain I’ll be back again soon. Thanks for everything.

Nothing

To be in the countryside where we could relax.

Nothing, it was wonderful

The bothy was so cosy and the hosts had literally thought of everything we could have possibly needed. From the feast of a breakfast to walking books of the local areas. It was a very peaceful stay.

Very clean, comfortable, good facilities, excellent location and well stocked breakfast.

The Bothy Ivy Cottage was excellent spotless and very quaint a credit to owners. Would definitely book this lovely place again.

Can't stress how lovely this place is. You can't fault it absolutely lovely for peace and quiet.

Detached cottage at your own disposal. What more could you want. Fresh ingredients for breakfast, to assemble yourself. Very nice hosts who try to make every wish come true.

There was nothing to dislike.
