Cheviot View

Really enjoyed my stay - accommodation was as described, no issues with cleanliness or comfort.

Functionality of the property was very good - WiFi was excellent at Cheviot View which was essential to planning and booking events during my stay and when checking travel & weather - AFAIAC the money spent by the owner(s) on upgrading the WiFi at the property is money well spent. Being able to drive up to the front door of the property to unload at the beginning of my stay and then to reload at the end of my stay was a big help which saved much time and effort. However, there were 2 'niggles' as follows: (1) When running the shower, if the water flow was insufficient then the shower temperature would oscillate between running between cold and the preset temperature. The solution is to run the shower at full flow. This was reported to the owner(s) and I was offered a change of room, however, I decided to stay put. (2) The tea-towels provided were of poor quality. When drying crockery the tea-towels kept leaving fluff, bits & threads etcetera from the fabric from which they were made on the items being dried - which was irritating. The tea-towels also didn't absorb moisture very well making the drying of crockery difficult. Investment in decent linen tea towels by the owner(s) would be appreciated - FYI the best fabric for tea towels is 100% linen because it dries fast, resists lint on glassware - and absorbs moisture exceptionally well ... there is a difference ! Notwithstanding the above 2 gripes, I have booked another stay at Cheviot View for 2027, however, have also left myself a note to as a reminder to bring a couple of linen tea towels with me ... Many Thanks.

Very comfortable and super clean accomodation.

This property was equipped with all that is necessary. Ample crockery, towels, bed linen etc. I was struck by the standard of cleanliness, comfort of bed and chairs and neatness of property. The owner had left the tv playing on radio 3 a vase of fresh flowers on the table so that I walked in to delightful music and lovely flowers, a very welcoming touch. Quiet surroundings, and beautiful views and safe off road parking. Even fresh eggs laid by chickens on the small holding were available to purchase. I definitely would like to return as the area is steeped in history and the location is easy to get to and has a good road network.

Clean and comfy with a lot of space.

Loved the sheep and hens, the view from the lovely big windows and the TV. Would definitely recommend if you want a welcoming, cosy getaway!! HOWEVER: here's some bits we wish we knew before coming here: The sink water switches between really cold and really hot all the time while using, so please take care if washing up by hand! In terms of the kitchen, there's no kitchen cloth or spray to wipe up mess, and bring toilet roll and dishwasher tablets if you're staying a week like we did (2 tablets and 1 roll are provided but definitely wasn't enough) The baking tray provided also pops up when heated so take care with putting anything on there that could fall off (we cooked sausages and this was fine however) What we did know about was the bad Wi-Fi - definitely download films if you can or bring DVDs with a DVD player if possible. Other than that, I would definitely recommend staying here. :)
