Lovely stay here was perfect, host was always helpful when needed, great location, nice and quiet will definitely be staying here again 🙂

Nothing

The finish on the property was outstanding- very slick and modern and clean.

Nothing everything was great

Great location, lovely comfy house

A dedicated parking space would be useful, but we always managed to get in to the nearby parking area mentioned to us by Jasmin, but had we not bumped into her we wouldn't have known about this and the on-road resident bays were always full.

Great location, close to all the amenities and a great base whilst competing in the GNR

Parking isn't ideal but there's an overnight carpark only a couple minutes walk away which is free

We had a wonderful stay at The Secret Cottage! The property offered plenty of space, making it incredibly comfortable and cosy. Its central location was a huge plus, with easy access to the river and a nearby kids' park. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were excellent. Travelling with our toddler required some quick baby-proofing, but that was to be expected. Fortunately, there was ample room for her to play and explore. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the cooking utensils we needed, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like a dog bowl and biscuits for our furry friend. The cottage is lovely in a beautiful town and only a 35-minute drive to Alnwick Castle. Overall, a fantastic experience!

One minor drawback was the parking situation. While there are a few spaces on the road outside the property, they are taken instantly. We discovered a small car park, Grey's Yard Carpark, which was a real lifesaver, but don't let that put you off!

The whole property was absolutely lovely! Really peaceful and relaxing. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen really well equipped. Everything clean. Close by EV chargers, all the shops you need in town, nice walk through the park.

Only a couple of small things - the tap in the kitchen and bath were wobbley and moved around when you used them. And one thing out of the owners control - one day parking on the street was difficult - but parked close by in the car park over night so not a big deal.

The cottage is ideally located within the busy market town of Morpeth. The town is absolutely beautiful and caters well to my wife and me; as well as her parents. There are plenty of local dog walks around Morpeth as well. The cottage is very well presented and has excellent amenities to cater to a family staying in the Cottage. The freestanding bath was a definite highlight of the cottage. My wife and mother-in-law enjoyed having a relaxing bath. However, they did say that the raised platform caused a bit of concern when exiting the bath due to the proximity to the bed. You can travel to all the local tourist areas with relative ease and car parking spaces are available if you return around dinner time.

The bed with the bunk attached is not suitable for a couple to share due to the lack of headroom due as the proximity of the bunk is positioned above the bed. There are pictures of a very modern coffee machine listed in the pictures on Booking.com but this was nowhere to be seen when we arrived; as a coffee enthusiast, this was very disappointing. The parking situation 5 something that could be improved. The short and long stay car parks are a good 5-10 minute walk from the cottage and the locals are not very hospitable; as they position their wheelie bins in a way to ensure that you cannot park near their homes (this renders the council permit useless).

Location was fantastic, cottage was very homely and comfortable.

The location was ideal. Really central, but in a quiet little lane.
