Bridge End Cottage, Northumberland - sleeps 4

We picked that location as it was the closest place to stay overnight after visiting Cragside House. There is one shop/service station along the road if you need anything & one pub, make sure you book beforehand to guarantee that you get a table. The cottage itself had everything that you would need & was easy to find.

The cottage was freezing cold even with the heating on. It also smelt quite bad, the sofa's, chairs, and bedding etc I didn't feel comfortable at all in this place, felt like we where being watched and had a very strange feeling. I must of had one hours sleep and that was on the chair in the dining room, near the radiator once we had shut the blinds. We honestly couldn't wait to leave. I have messaged the owner and asked if the place is haunted or if they could tell us some history on the place over a week ago but unfortunately I've had no response. 21/07/2025...The owner has finally responded but somehow not to the review I wrote. When we stayed at this property 06/06/2025 it was 8, 9 Degrees Celsius on the night, it was freezing & had been raining most of the day. Why lie about the temperature on your reply. Who on earth needs the heating on if the weather was above 20 degrees. The temperature didn't even reach that in the daytime. Also no one said anything about floors etc I said the bedding, sofa, curtains and chairs stunk. You obviously cannot take any constructive criticism and honesty that you have to reply with dishonesty. I gave 3 stars but have since changed my review due to the dishonesty of the owner

The location was perfect for the journey south

The bed linen could have been fresher. In the main room overlooking the main road, the duvet and pillows felt stale

It's a self-catering cottage with all the necessary facilities. We prepared our breakfast using local produces (eggs, bacon, stotties). The location is very nice, close to the river, very quiet despite facing the main road.

Nothing to dislike, really.

The location of the cottage was very nice as it was in a quite town but close to many areas for hiking, cycling and sight seeing. It was an extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated apartment, with everything you would need for a self catered stay. Tahir and Deborah were lovely friendly hosts who responded quickly to any messages. The outside sitting area at the rear of the property was peaceful and a lovely spot for a cup of tea or a glass of wine.

Nothing

Very quiet at night and well equipped

Mattress in bathroom saggy and not comfortable, also mattress protecters made us hot

Ideal location for the national park and a little drive to the coast. The cottage was a good size, very clean and comfortable, main bedroom is large! It was well equipped and supplies were available in a Spar within Thropton or a Co-op in Rothbury.

Nothing!

The cottage was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and had a real homely feel. The location was perfect — peaceful and scenic, while still being close enough to amenities. Everything we needed was provided, and the attention to detail made it a very comfortable stay.

Honestly, there was nothing we didn’t like — it was a lovely place to stay.

The location was ideal for our days out to cragside Alnwick and farn island

The toilet bathroom being downstairs
