The Hollow

We had a lovely week staying in at The Hollow, the owners have furnished the cottage very well, and we were very comfortable.

We both had the best sleep ever, so quiet and relaxing. We felt really out in the country with no noise to disturb us, only the sheep and cattle to look at out of the cottage windows, Explored parts of Northumberland that I haven’t been to, and still lots left to do when we go back, but it is so near to Hexham, Rothbury, Amble, Scotland. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

What a fabulous cottage.

Such a beautiful, peaceful setting. To wake up every morning to the views and my family talking to the farm animals was a delight. The cottage itself was lovely and comfortable. Very clean and cosy. Appliances well maintained and easy to work. The kitchen may just need some additional larger frying pans and pots for those eating in regularly, like ourselves. We had many bbqs/fire pit to enjoy in the evenings. We would highly recommend The Hollow and return again. Such a beautiful area with so much to see and do. The whole experience has been straightforward. We wish it wasn't over. Thank you!

Second time visiting The Hollow and won’t be the last!

So peaceful and quiet, the perfect break away from the stress of everyday life. Cottage is super comfortable and well maintained. Love watching the neighbours (sheep and cows) every day.

The property is set in a lovely part of the country.

Lots of walks close by. Much wildlife and farm animals around. A peaceful place to stay. A community run pub near by that serves great food. There are basics provided in the property, but a few more kitchen utensils wouldn't go a miss. Hairdryer would also be nice. The binoculars were very much appreciated. We will be returning, which should say it all!

Fantastic cottage in a lovely remote location, Cottage is well maintained with good furniture and fittings.

Beds are very comfortable. The cottage wasn't as clean as it could be, and the bathroom bin was so full, it was nearly overflowing. The cottage has a woodburner, but only about 6 pieces of kindling and 2 fire lighters were provided. Despite the minor quibbles, it is a lovely cottage and highly recommended!

The cottage was excellent and just right for a week away in the countryside.

The property was clean and ideal for our stay with the dogs. Views from the window were perfect in springtime, watching the sheep and lambs.

We thought the cottage was lovely.

Ideal for us as we wanted a base and was out most of the time. We loved the big fridge freezer which stopped us having to go to shop daily. Clearly a lot of thought had gone into this to make it really comfortable.

Our second visit to the cottage.

Perfect for the peaceful surroundings what we look for but so convenient that it is only a short car ride to be able to get to local shops and attractions.

The hollow is situated in a lovely peaceful valley, just of the A68.

. easily situated to visit many historical sights, Kielder water as well as towns like Hexham. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable..dog friendly with secure garden … Local pubs served good meals including The Gun at Ridsdale the Black Bull at Bellingham and the Twice Brewed Inn … serving food all day…

We had a lovely stay at the Hollow.

Perfectly situated property for various attractions, such as Kielder and the Roman sites/wall, but also further afield, and so peaceful! Lots of guest information provided, and things were well thought through! Very clean cottage, and a secure garden area, which was great for enjoying breakfast! Thank-you☺️

Stunning cottage in an idyllic location!

We loved our stay at The Hollow surrounded by beautiful countryside. The cottage was beautifully presented, very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. Fab, secure garden for the dogs. We will definitely be back to stay. Thanks so much!

What an amazing place to stay, surrounded by sheep and cows.

If you’re after some rest and relaxation, this is the place to come yet it’s not far from many places of interest to visit. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back.

Excellent holiday cottage, comfortable, uncluttered & beautiful rural views.

It feels isolated and yet it’s just a short drive from the A68. Great location for exploring all the area has to offer. Enclosed garden perfect for dog. We had a lovely relaxing holiday. Many thanks.

A lovely cottage and location, however it is very remote and any activity requires a car journey.

A lovely modernised cottage, with excellent facilities.

The location of the cottage is in a beautiful area and easy to explore the surrounding places of interest, such as Hadrians Wall, Bamburgh Castle, Kielder Forest. We will be very happy to return to this cottage when we are next in Northumberland.

An idyllic location, perfect for a relaxing getaway.

The cottage itself is well equipped with everything you need to make it feel like a home. The garden is a good size with space to sit out and enjoy the peace and quiet and keep an eye on the local livestock. There are outdoor lights which unfortunately we’re not working during our stay which made keeping an eye on our dog difficult late at night. All in all a very good property to holiday in.

Excellent property in idyllic rural location with fantastic views.

Peaceful and well equipped with great secure garden for the dog. Warm, clean and spacious. Good location for visiting Kielder Forest, Hadrian's Wall, several National Trust properties and there is a very friendly local pub 1 mile away. We will definitely return.

Felt at home as soon as we stepped inside the warm, cosy and clean cottage.

The welcome plaque and small welcome pack were greatly appreciated. The cottage location has an idyllic peaceful feel to it but only just over a mile from the A68 which was ideal to get to the local tourist attractions and villages (we topped up on groceries at Bellingham which also had a fab bakery and butchers) The cottage had everything we needed for our stay, the enclosed garden and quiet farm road were perfect for our pooch. We would highly recommend this accommodation and we look forward to our next visit which is already booked for next year.

The cottage was comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen, and a lovely shower and bath.

We had several enjoyable meals at "The Gun" up the road and would thoroughly recommend this cottage for a quiet relaxing break.

The Hollow was a lovely place to stay.

Everything was of a very high standard, comfortable and spotlessly clean. I would happily recommend The Hollow.

Hi, The property was in a special location, very quiet and hidden from the outside world.

Ideally situated for what we wanted to do with National trust and English Heritage venues. Very clean and well established with everything you need on a stay when away from home…. In conclusion, a real home from home.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

Really impressed with the layout, facilities and cleanliness. Appreciated the 'welcome' board on arrival, together with the milk in the fridge - really nice touches! Perhaps a few more kitchen utensils may be helpful as we prefer to cook in rather than eat out? Otherwise to be highly recommended.

The cottage was very comfortable and in a lovely area.

Northumberland is a beautiful county and we would love to return one day.

Really enjoyed our stay ,the cottage was lovely and peaceful and had everything in it that we needed.

Loved the enclosed garden for our dog Dougal and had a lovely walk every morning along the farm path before we went out for the day Cottage was immaculate and very comfy beds and lovely hot shower

Absolutely lovely cottage -so comfortable- we loved it and hope to rebook in the Autumn xx

Absolutely lovely cottage, perfectly situated to get out and explore Northumberland.

Nice and quiet location down a country track with lots of wildlife nearby. Tastefully decorated and a cosy feel but still plenty of space for us. Would definitely stay here again.

The cottage was brilliant.

although the steps by the outside table and chairs onto the grass could be fixed as very loose. Other than that everything was perfect. The quiet was wonderful. Dogs loved garden. Hope to get back again.

Absolutely gorgeous cottage.

Katie & Will as hosts leave you in peace but got in touch to make sure everything was fine it was amazing. My husband & I took my Mum plus our 2 dogs & it was totally amazing. The sheep & lambs were perfect neighbours. It’s a hidden gem but if the weather was better the only negative would be steps in the garden do need fixed as not great the way it is. Still a magical place.

Excellent cottage, great location for exploring the area.

Cottage was clean, well equipped and finished to a high standard. Good communication from Katie prior to arrival with clear instructions. Nice welcome pack and message on arrival. Enclosed garden was ideal for the 2 dogs. Log burner was a welcome addition. Can't fault the place and we would definitely consider booking again in order to explore more of this great county. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great cottage, great location.

Everything from the quality and facilities at the cottage and especially the location.

..one of the best we have stayed in and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a perfect base to discover Northumberland

We have just returned from a wonderful 3 nights stay, the cottage is lovely, spotlessly clean, modern fixtures and fittings and has everything you need for your stay.

The log fire was a lovely touch and made the cottage feel lovely and cosy, we will be returning in March.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful area.

Enclosed garden was perfect for our dog.

Had the most relaxing stay with my husband and two dogs.

The property and location are absolutely stunning. Cannot complain about a single thing. When life gets busy and you need a break book the hollow. Check in was easy. Use Google maps to find property not car satnav. Lesson learned. Would absolutely come back and would recommend. Thank you so much ♥️

We had a lovely stay at The Hollow, it's perfectly situated to explore the whole of Northumberland.

The property is located in a lovely peaceful valley, you get the occasional walkers strolling past, but that's about it - super peaceful. The property itself is really comfortable and includes everything you need to make your stay perfect.

This cottage is a beautiful and comfortable place to stay amazing countryside and local people are so friendly everything we needed was there I would highly recommend staying again so peaceful food is amazing in Bay horse local pub

The most comfortable cottage we have ever stayed in.

We couldn't find a breadboard, and the central heating took a bit of working out, but overall it was a fabulous place- we only left early on Friday because the incoming weather did not look favourable! A beautiful county, friendly people, and the food at the Bay Horse in West Woodburn and in The Gun in the village was superb. Thank you.

A beautiful house in a stunning location and very quiet.

The house is done out to a high standard and very clean. Fabulous log burner too. There is nothing we could fault except maybe to have a mirror in the second bedroom but a minor detail. Felt totally relaxed and chilled as soon as we walked in, this is definitely a place to unwind. Plenty of places to walk, a nice pub if you don’t mind the mile walk. The pub is open in the day for coffee and cakes and do lovely evening meals. We did the Kielder forest drive which was very nice, but there was so much scenery around the house, you really didn’t need to go far.

Lovely cottage.

very peaceful.beautiful countryside.wildlife.we had nice relaxing week.

A lovely place to stay.

The cottage is light, comfortable, well equipped. There is an enclosed garden with open views. Great to sit in and secure for dogs and children. We used it as a base to walk Hadrian’s Wall. We also visited Hexham (abbey and gaol), Washington wetlands reserve, and National Trust Washington Old Hall. Lots to do in the area and delightful to get back to. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfectly done, the log fire is great & it's so peaceful.

Wildlife in abundance. Such a comfortable & peaceful stay for me & my dog, Gunna. Thankyou

We had a great stay at The Hollow.

Easy to find, lovely location setting, beautifully decorated, well equipped, very comfortable beds and sofa, powerful shower and netflix for the kids. Lovely having a garden & fire pit. Our kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows talking to the sheep. Great pub within walking distance serving delicious & well priced food. We visited Sycamore gap (inspired by the picture in the bedroom!), Alnwick & Newcastle. Loads to do nearby and some great walks. The scenery is stunning and everyone so friendly and helpful. The owners were very informative and helpful to. One small suggestion would be a lamp in the living room for the evening so the bright lights are not required. We really loved the cottage as a family and will be recommending! Thanks so much for letting us stay!

The cottage was gorgeous and peaceful.

Katie was lovely and helpful. Great tips on where to visit. Nice welcome pack of milk tea coffee crisps biscuits and some dog treats. Sat nav wants to take you through a gated road with sheep in which we ignored then re routed to turn down by the Gun Pub then down a single track road. The Gun Pub really nice and friendly people. Highly recommend the cottage
