Buzzards Rest

We were made to feel very welcome from the outset.

The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. Our only issue was the size of the bath towels - too small!

Clean, comfortable well appointed accommodation.

Amply equipped kitchen. A beautiful quiet, relaxing garden(small grass area not suitable for children playing ball games). Good heating system and a log fire. A great base to tour Northumbria, great beaches, scenery, and historical interests. Thank you to our host who could not have been more helpful, positively responding to all our requests. Definitely would stay again if visiting the NE.

A lovely home from home !

Beautiful relaxing garden , comfortable lounge and bedrooms . Generous with towels etc and good quality bed clothes - ensured a relaxing holiday . Close to Morpeth and A1 for ease of travel but quiet. Whitehouse Farm next door was a joy for us and our 3year old grand daughter . Appreciated the welcome basket of local goods , especially the eggs , as the chickens visited every afternoon! We hope to stay again when visiting our daughter in Newcastle .

The property was well presented, clean and well stocked with all the supplies you need to enjoy a relaxing break.

My only reservation would be to check the step into the bathrooom, its quite high for little legs or old legs, other than that the property is very quiet and well kept. The owner couldn't be more helpful with all our requests.This is a great place to tour around this area of Northumberland and don't forget to check out the Northumberland cheese company, it maybe small but the cheese is amazing.

Buzzards rest is a welcoming place.

The garden is a haven of peace and I especially enjoyed random visits from a chicken, cat and bunny! Wake up to glorious views of the countryside. Tucked away from the main roads it's a real getaway. Our friendly host Margaret greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed. I was sorry to leave.

A great stay in well appointed accommodation, easy access to a huge amount of local attractions, trains to Newcastle etc Comfortable lounge, grand dining room and kitchen all with plenty of facilities and in great condition, note, no freezer attached to the fridge.

Heating is very responsive and quick to operate. The TV is a faff with the internet only access, there didn't appear to be any simple to access Freeview/FreeSat. Beds were comfortable, shower was great. Pillows are quite thin but comfortable, if your a pillow fetishist you may want to take your own. Where you park your car is under trees, it was a daily task to remove bird muck, it could really do with a car port in that area. There is an access gate which isn't in great condition which seems to serve no purpose other than to be inconvenient as the other end of the drive is totally open, it could be removed and just have a sign there for private access Overall a fantastic stay and thoroughly recommended

Beautiful location, follow Margaret's directions rather than satnav, but once found after that.

About a mile to the nearest shops but a good welcome pack. Accommodation itself plenty of room, logs for the fire and well equipped kitchen. Double bed really comfy.

Loverly clean, comfortable, cozy, spacious house, nice garden in a good location.

Margarte the host was very friendly and helpfull. Would recomend and visit again

A very comfortable and homely property

I was met on arrival by Margaret with a very warm welcome.

Buzzards Rest is a beautiful comfortable home and it was well equipped with everything I needed. Beds were super comfortable, you're guaranteed a good night's sleep. The log burner was warm and cosy during the evenings. There's a lovely, well maintained garden. Buzzards Rest is a real gem in the Northumberland countryside. I highly recommend this property without any hesitation.

Nice welcome from Margaret.

Fab cottage. Local eggs,cheese and honey a nice touch and very much enjoyed. Beautifully furnished and very well equipped. Ideally placed for visiting loads of places mostly 30 mins away. Whitehouse Farm Park next door great place to visit. Hope to return in future.

Our first visit to Northumberland and highly recommend the area.

Buzzards Rest a lovely quiet spot. Watching such a variety of birds eat the berries on the rowan tree in the garden, whilst we enjoyed a cuppa was really restful. An ideal location with lots of places to visit within a 20 mile radius.

Cottage was well equipped and presented, Good position to explore the area with attractions and coastline within easy reach.

Local amenities were also close, Shops, Pubs etc.

Buzzards Rest was superb.

It is actually rather bigger than it appears from the photographs and all the rooms are really spacious. It was very comfortable, well-equipped, immaculately clean and there was even a lovely welcome pack of local produce awaiting us on the kitchen table. We intend to re-visit the area later in the year and Buzzards Rest will absolutely be our preferred choice.

Lovely house, nice and spacious.

Kitchen has absolutely everything you could want (apart from a tray). We were worried about noise from the farm park but didn't hear a thing. Perfect base for a relaxing break to discover the Northumbrian coast and inland.

Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings.

Everything you could wish for. Super kitchen with everything I needed and easy to work in. Cosy log burner with ample fuel made evenings so heavenly after a days exploring! The bed in the master room was so comfy, even for my very tall husband. Lovely host too.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage.

It had everything that we could need and was a home from home. It was great being able to see the animals and the new-born lambs each morning! Margaret, our host, made us feel very welcome. Thank you.

Buzzard’s Rest was a very comfortable holiday stay.

It is close enough to the A1 for easy access to Northumberland, but remote enough to feel you are away from it all. There was a very nice welcome pack and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Our host, Margaret made us feel very welcome.

A really thoughtfully equipped cottage, cosy, warm and very comfortable in mid November and the garden looked like a lovely place to sit in warmer weather.

There was an equally thoughtful and delicious welcome pack of local treats. The lady managing it was also very welcoming and gave some brilliant suggestions for walks and shops and cafes. We hope to come again.

We had a fabulous stay at buzzards rest.

The cottage was so well equipped with everything you could possibly think of and it was sparkling clean. The bedrooms were comfortable and Margaret even checked in on us to make sure the house was warm enough (it was lovely and toasty) as the temperature outside has started to drop. Perfect for young families, nice touches around like nightlights and books/toys. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Had a great stay in the cottage.

We were visiting and hosting various family and friends. Plenty of room, and enough plates and cutlery for eight of us one evening. I loved the garden...very Frances Hodgson Burnett! Don't make it too prim as you work on it..... Thanks to Margaret for the lovely welcome.

We really enjoyed our stay at Buzzards Rest.

The property was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay and more. The location was perfect for visiting National Trust and English Heritage properties and also Morpeth and the coast. We hope to be back soon.

What a fantastic property!

The pictures don't really do this justice. An amazing base for our summer break. Well provisioned kitchen (sometimes it seems like no one has ever actually cooked on a holiday house!), great ambience, lovely garden. Only fault is that the driveway is a bit pot holey, but you can use the gate at the rear of the property.

We loved virtually everything.

The only issues we had were 1. the shower floor developed a crack but Margaret immediately arranged a plumber to attend to carry out a temporary fix. 2. We found the TV difficult to operate. We should have asked Margaret!! So apart from these 2 minor setbacks, it was all excellent. The goodies pack on arrival was delightful and original The peaceful location that was just a few minutes from the A1 and nearby Morpeth The gadgets and kitchen utensils Comfortable bed with blankets to combat theNorthumberland weather The spaciousness of the cottage The wifi Perfect location for visiting the Northumberland and Durham areas of interest Upstairs and downstairs loos Private space for car parking

Our stay was enhanced by the proximity of Margaret, the owner’s mother.

She could not do too much to help. The property and gardens were a delight, well furnished, with the exception of the TV, a mystery to all. That clearly needs improvement, especially in rainy Northumbria. Didn’t think much of the local pub restaurants, but the farm shops sold excellent products. It’s a waste to miss out on the local attractions but this is one of the nicer properties we’ve stayed in and well worth experiencing.

The property and gardens were really lovely with everything needed for a fantastic holiday.

The host was friendly and welcoming and the location was great, being just a few miles from Morpeth, but still in the countryside.

This is one of the best properties I’ve stayed in, well appointed, a real home-from-home in a quiet and peaceful rural location.

And a lovely garden, too! On arrival I found the house to be spotlessly clean and provided with everything necessary for a comfortable and trouble-free stay. The welcome basket was a delight. Buzzard’s Rest is well located for visits to Hadrian’s Wall, Beamish, Cragside, Alnwick, Wallington Hall, and Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens. Thank you, Margaret, for your kind help and advice.

We had a lovely week here.

The cottage is deceptively spacious and has been well equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. A great central base for exploring Northumberland!

We just loved this place!

Thank you for everything, we'll try to come back!

A lovely spacious cottage, very clean and well equipped - large rooms.

A beautiful cottage garden where you can sit in the nice weather. There was a kind gesture of a welcome basket with cheese, biscuits, honey and milk. Thank-you And thank-you too Margaret for all your kind help and assistance. Farm near by where I was able to see the lambs being born - wonderful and beautiful experience.

Absolutely fantastic property.

Has more than inside than can be imagined. So central for northumberland and easy access to all major towns and Newcastle itself . The basket upon arrival was wonderful and full of interesting items . The host Margaret was welcoming and helpful with any questions we had . A wonderful stay and will definitely be back again . Thank you so much for allowing our family to use your home .

We loved our time in Buzzards rest its larger than the photos.

Very comfortable and well equipped, Won't hesitate to revist.

We had a lovely visit.

The cottage was in a lovely place, nice to relax after catching up with relatives and friends from the area. The cottage has everything you would need, and the 'wild' garden is an added bonus. Thanks for our home cooked biscuits and local goodies.

Very comfortable, well-equipped property and within easy reach of many interesting places.

Fantastic property and location.

Thanks for a great stay. We will hopefully return in the coming years.

Nice accommodation in a lovely setting.

A delightful cottage with a very well equipped kitchen.

We liked the garden, please let the “rewilding” continue. The twin bedroom is perhaps best thought of as a children’s room; lanky teenagers might find it not for them. The owners were very helpful and friendly. A good base for trips to Hadrian’s Wall, the coast, Cragside, Hexham and Alnwick. Morpeth good for tourist information and eating, we had a delicious meal at Emily’s/PTMY.

We have just stayed for a week at this secluded cottage on the edge of a working farm ,very quiet ,nice little garden ,ample parking ,inside the cottage greeted by a hamper ,lovely crockery ,furnishings etc comfy bed with white cotton linen ,watch the step down into the bathroom ,easy access to the A1 ,Cragside house a must to see ,our only downside the car has to be moved for the nearest shop ,enjoy your stay
