Garden Cottage at Old Post Office

The cottage was cosy, nicely decorated, and very well equipped. It is located near the local pub, Bowes Hotel, and is a good base for exploring Hadrian's Wall and the museums.

Absolutely, everything was above and beyond description! Just idyllic location, and the owners are simply lovely! The quality and thought in every detail from furnishings to equipment! Extras like staples in cupboard! And on leaving a wee bag of goodies and lovely drinks bottle! It is truly an outstanding provider! Exceptional in every way!

Leaving!!!

Great communications from the outset giving directions, timings and a website allowing early planning to local events. The hosts were on site to show us around and give top tips especially on the use of the pizza oven. Their hospitality was fantastic, leaving a small 'get you in pack' and further assistance offering a credible breakfast provision available to purchase, consisting of local produce for cooking at your own convenience. The venue (Garden Cottage) was so unique with practically everything you think you may need, available. Of note was the ice cube machine and a record player with a historic collection. We loved the small sitting area with fire basket on the river,, the communal socializing long table with effects lights and the breakfast bistro area to sit watching the birds with morning coffee. An amazing experience with friendly villagers, pub and shop! Thank you Mychael, Lisa and Izobela. We will be back to experience the River Cottage.

The host have done a fantastic job building a special place to stay. All the little touches and thoughtful expressions were very appreciated. Would absolutely recommend to friends.

Quirky, well equipped & unrivalled attention to detail makes this property an amazing place to stay. It is ideally located for exploring Northumberland & Hadrian’s Wall.

Nothing, everything is perfect.

The breakfast was convenient as you had the ingredients supplied and you made it at a time to suit you, although the ingredients were not what we would normally choose we enjoyed the new experiences - that's the point about travelling! The location was good near to a main road but with nice walks on the doorstep and plenty of tourist sites to explore along Hadrian's Wall. The apartment and kitchen were well equipped and in good order.

Nothing but I would recommend it only for families as the spare bed was next to the bathroom and located in a kitchen with lots of LED lighting to distract you from sleeping. I would not want to invite friends to join us as we had originally thought of doing.

One of the most impressive stays we’ve had. Small but many added touches and extras added up to such a lovely place to stay. Breakfast provided to cook in the apartment, gorgeous outside area (that we didn’t make the most of), quirky but really cool and comfortable place. Hosts were friendly/helpful but unobtrusive. Photos don’t do justice to the space - it’s even better than it looks. Definitely hope to be back to try the other apartment (we stayed in the garden apartment). Really comfortable bed, sofa and outside area, powerful shower. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Genuinely nothing.

The best place we have stayed at. So cosy and special touches that make it a unique place to stay. The dog loved his bed. Lovely village, so friendly and easy access to Hadrian's Wall and Kielder.

Nothing to not like.
