Deanrise

A super place to stay.

Spacious, well equipped and exactly as described. The road noise from the A1 was ever present in the background but barely noticeable when the windows were shut. We will definitely go back

Comfortable and clean accommodation.

Plenty of room for eight adults and a dog. Well located for days out. Those in our party who live in a town were not bothered by the road noise, those who live in quiet countryside were VERY aware of the road noise and found ear plugs were essential.

We love coming to Deanrise.

We book once a year to have a family holiday with our parents and grandparents. The location is great, we love going into Alnwick especially Lilidorei and Paradise Ice Cream (at Barter Books). The only thing this time that we didn't like. There was no mop and bucket or vacuum to clean up properly. I know it's a holiday but we like to clean up after ourselves and couldn't do this properly. In previous years we've always had the opportunity to do so. It also meant that we couldn't clean up spillages in the kitchen without using lots of kitchen roll. However, other than not having them. The stay was great, just like previous years. We will be booking again :)

Not our first visit and won't be the last.

We love it so much we're going to make it an annual event around the time of my birthday. Wonderful property, very comfortable and enough room to accommodate the 10 of us without feeling cramped. Just wish we could get in a bit earlier to extend our stay ☺️

Lovely property.

Very well fitted out with everything you need. Could hear the road noise , this was mentioned on the description of the property. There was 6 of us but only 1 was disturbed by this so not an issue. Great for seeing local sites being the countryside but close enough to visit the beaches. Would definitely use this property again.

Thoroughly recommend there was 9 of us and we had plenty of room.

Location is very close to amenities and visitor attractions.

Tv signal/ arial needs sorting!

Damp visible either side of fireplace in living room. Frying pans all out of shape ! Wifi if get is very slow! Was very clean good size property close to all amenities. Plenty of outdoor space for children to play in secure garden once gates closed.

Our 2nd time staying at this house in Shilbottle.

The perfect place for a family get-together to celebrate a special birthday. Slightly marred by the next door neighbour getting his chain saw out on Sunday evening at 6pm to cut the hedge when we were enjoying some time in the garden and had to go indoors to get away from the noise. Otherwise the perfect weekend.

The house was lovely and spacious and allowed family members to spread out.

The outdoor space was valued too, even with a couple of bikes to use on site. It is very close to A1 road, but you quickly get used to traffic noise and in fact we found it aided travel links because of easy access. A very good base for exploring the area and 5 minutes down the road to a retail park for provisions. We all, young and old, enjoyed our holiday in Deanrise.

A beautiful property which the whole extended family enjoyed.

The rooms downstairs were big enough for us to eat together or socialise or simply split up into small groups. The bedrooms and bathrooms were excellent. All the facilities were excellent and good quality. The owners obviously take pride in their property and rightly so.

Fantastic location and a beautiful comfy house.

Hosts were fantastic. A wonderful time was had by all 10 guests amd enzo the dog.

Wonderful holiday cottage in a fabulous location for visiting lots of local attractions.

Perfectly spacious and comfortable for our family of 6 and the dog loved having the secure garden to play in. The photos do not do it justice! Very comfortable beds (and linen) and a lovely warm property !! We knew on booking its proximity to the A1 and were a little apprehensive but in honesty you couldn’t really hear the noise inside and outside it was quite relaxing and really didn’t disturb us at all. Thanks Deanrise, we will be back!

Beautiful property.

Even though next to motorway this did not impact our stay. Lovely cosy and warm. Short drive to surrounding areas. Only downside couple of windows (sash style) in bedroom did not close properly and draughty overnight, hopefully this issue will be sorted.

Second visit to Deanrise.

Lovely place never disappoints

We had a lovely stay at Deanrise and will definitely book again.

On arrival the key wasn’t located where it said on the key collection details. We quickly found it though in the outside toilet. The cottage was cold at first but we soon got the heating on and it warmed up quickly. The house is very clean and comfortable. The garden was immaculate and safe for our small dogs. Excellent countryside for walking the dogs. You can hear road noise from the A1 but it is minimal from indoors and didn’t bother us at all. The Cottage is in a very good position for shops and takeaways and central for visitors attractions. We absolutely loved the cottage and had the best holiday for a while.

The premises was fantastic, decorated and fitted out to a high spec.

It provides all that is required plus much more, plenty of space and bathrooms, we had a party of 7 adults and felt very comfortably. The location is perfect being only 3 miles from Alnwick Centre. I would definitely recommend this property and would happily return.

The chair in sun room were a bit unstable the table didn't fit all of us and oven was difficult to understand

Deanrise is fantastic, an amazing property and we will definitely return.

Only

We really enjoyed our stay at Deanrise.

It is a beautiful property and was perfect for our family (3 adult siblings and their families) the kitchen was well stocked with equipment and bits like foil/ cling film. Oven gloves would be a handy addition. Also would benefit some storage/ hanging rail in the downstairs bedroom. We’d have preferred it further from the road noise but were aware of this before we went and we got used to it. The opportunity to rent a hot tub was well received by our children.

We had the most wonderful stay at Deanrise.

It had everything we wanted, plenty of indoor and outdoor space and the ideal location for us. We had to contact the property managers as we couldn't locate the fuse board and we came home one day to find the electricity had gone off. They helped us immediately and we had it sorted within minutes of calling them. We cannot fault the property and are already looking to book to come back.

No toiletries.

Radiator leaking. Was warm and pleasant but lounge furniture very uncomfortable. Beds comfy and appreciated the tvs in rooms. Very little road noise but did have someone hammering on the door at 11.30pm on the Friday night asking for help and a taxi to Carlisle!

Spacious well decorated house.

Extremely comfortable and highly recommended for family/friends get togethers. Ideally situated for exploring that part of Northumberland.

The house is wonderful and the beds and sofas and general space was super for our family.

I have to mention a couple of things that I feel need improving 1) The crockery is so badly scratched that we did not want to eat our food on it - so we felt we had to buy some plates. 2) the saucepans are in a bad way the bottom of the pans are all worn and food caught on the pans and pans smoked every time we cooked. We had a lovely stay and it’s a perfect spot for a family - be aware the house is actually at the side of the A1 if noise bothers you. Also, I booked the house on the basis it had a study listed in the description - when we arrived there was no study . I was disappointed about this. Overall, a super house for a family stay in the glorious north east. The beds are super comfy, the heating comes on in the morning and late afternoon, and there is a lovey log burner if you want to use it. We stayed in winter so the heating was appreciated. It has a super family kitchen to sit in and a lovely sun room with space to sit. Thank you.

Beautiful property, lovely setting and really close to some lovely places.

We enjoyed every moment as a family and would definitely return! Would 100% recommend

Thank you, our stay was brilliant, in fact the cottage was better than the photos.

We had a great time plenty of room, the whole place was really clean (and I'm very fussy)plenty of room for the boys to play football out side. Harry (7)loved the Jacuzzi.Would highly recommend. We went to the Indian restaurant up the road very good we went twice also went to Lilburns in Alnwick which was very goodifficult, all in all an excellent weekenday

We had a fantastic family holiday at Deanrise.

The property is a good size and nicely fitted out. My only comment would be that the small bedroom downstairs doesn’t really sleep 2 and there is no furniture in there other than the single bed with pullout under. This room ideally should be for 1 person. An outdoor washing line would have helped but there is a clothes horse. Although it he A1 is close by, it is screened by tall hedges and the double glazing means you don’t really notice it. The property is ideally situated for the coast, Cragside, villages. The local shop was sufficient and the nearby Indian restaurant was very good, but booking is essential.

A lovely property close to many local amenities.

Well appointed home and very comfortable with plenty of space inside and outside. Dog friendly too. Would recommend.

Unfortunately on our arrival the property had not been cleaned from the previous occupants which was a little concerning however a quick call to the emergency mobile provided saw a team of 4 cleaner's at the property after 20 to 30 minutes where they cleaned the property.

Not sure it was the deep clean I should have expected. Apart from this issue we loved our time at the property.

We had a great stay the house was very clean and well presented.

Rooms were very spacious and well laid out. But would suggest that as the house can accommodate up to 10 guests that the other standard oven should maybe be a double oven as the range doesn’t work during the summer months. And the fridge/freezer could have done with being bigger to accommodate food for 10 guests. We very much enjoyed our stay and woiod stay again

The house was fantastic!

Well equipped, comfortable and immaculate throughout. We would definitely recommend Deanrise.

Down stairs seating could be improved due to the amount of bedrooms.

Also daughter got splinters from the kitchen benches. Lovely house bright clean and bedrooms were gorgeous. Enjoyed our stay. Checking in times and out times not brilliant.

Beautiful property.

Would definitely stay again. Only real issue was the lats on the master bed. Had a brilliant stay.

Beautiful property, really well thought out with all the home comforts.

Excellent location for exploring the area. Would not be put off by proximity to the A1, it wasn’t a problem at all.

Fantastic property.

Immaculately clean. Great house to meet with family and enjoy the wonderful northumberland countryside/beaches. The house was well equipped (although maybe another frying pan would be helpful) and had lovely touches like activity packs for the kids, welcome tray in the kitchen and information about the area and local attractions. The beds were very comfortable and although A1 is very close we were not disturbed during the night and slept very well. I wish the property details had mentioned the small single room with pull out bed was ground floor as we have a family member who is in a wheelchair and didn’t stay with us but could have if we had known this. Also the description didn’t mention a high chair was available for use and we did bring one - if we had known this it would have saved us some room in the car ! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting a comfortable family holiday home and would have no hesitation in re booking again. Thank you.

Lovely property.

..could not fault this place...handy location....clean and tidy..love the kitchen...great for a family get together...would stay here again

I have filled this form in before!

Just for the record we were very pleased and happy with Deanrise. Very well kitted out all brand new. Could have done with instructions on the Aga. The only downside was it’s proximity to the A1. However we were out all day and the traffic is light through the night.

Wonderful large house, which was big enough for our family of 6 adults and 2 children.

Garden and summerhouse were a great bonus as the weather was fine and the children could play outside safely. Very comfortable furnishings and well equipped kitchen. Owner and Caretaker dealt with our queries quickly. We had a problem with the oven, which was dealt with immediately. Always reassuring to know any problems are solved with little fuss. Will definitely return to this fabulous part of the country and hopefully back to Deanrise.

Well appointed property, nicely situated for visiting the area.

Property was very clean and well maintained, lovely secure garden for our dogs. Would visit again, highly recommended!!

Deanrise is a beautiful house, extremely large and well suited to two families with a comfy Large lounge plus a garden room conservatory.

Bedrooms are very comfortable and well furnished and with four bathrooms - 2 en-suite - no one is queuing for the loo. Lots of parking and a nice summer house in the garden for the kids to disappear to. Good location and Alnwick is a beautiful town. One small niggle - depending on the rubbish collection pattern (Tuesdays, alternate weeks for general and recycling), guests will arrive to a full bin of one sort or another. Maybe an arrangement could be made with the cleaners to do a tip run in changeover.

Fabulous property, very spacious, comfortable and well equipped.

Don’t let proximity to A1 put you off, we were not bothered by traffic noise at night and slept really well. Lovely garden and plenty of parking too. Ideally located to explore the area
