    “Owl Cottage is such a gorgeous place to stay.”

    As all the other comments say it really does have everything you need from a lovely food hamper on arrival with bread, milk, butter and some treats to all the helpful things like washing tablets, cloths and everything you need to make cooking easy. I grew up in Morpeth so know it well but always love coming back and visiting as there's so much to do.
