“We enjoyed our stay so much, I had high expectations for this modern cottage but they were exceeded.”
I have worked in the holiday cottage industry in the Lake District and have seen and inspected a lot of holiday properties, this is up there with the best. It was tasteful (loved the William Morris touches) warm and so very, very comfortable.
Everything about Orchard Cottage was as generous and high quality as as the welcome pack. Luxury touches were where they were needed, linen, mattresses, hand soap etc, but the finishes were visitor proof which allowed us to relax and not worry about a two ...

Everything about Orchard Cottage was as generous and high quality as as the welcome pack. Luxury touches were where they were needed, linen, mattresses, hand soap etc, but the finishes were visitor proof which allowed us to relax and not worry about a two year old causing damage, that is a very hard balance to strike.
Cleanliness was excellent and cleaning products were supplied, always a bonus, the kitchen was very well equipped and we wanted for nothing.. We discovered a high chair, travel cot, step up and various toys in a cupboard which our grandson enjoyed. The bookshelves were well stocked with books, board games, jigsaws and we really appreciated the guest membership to Netflix one very stormy day! There were so many thoughtful touches such as outdoor seating dotted around to catch the sun, when it deigned to shine, and we were fortunate there too.
The location is excellent - quiet, peaceful, with wildlife on the doorstep. It is within walking distance of Craster and there are many paths from the cottage if you want to leave the car at home. It is a very good base for so many lovely places along the NE coast. Our son in law did a 10+ mile run each morning and returned invigorated. The icing on the cake was seeing the Northern lights on two separate nights. We certainly hope to return.
