Very comfortable, clean and spacious. Sunny garden with chairs and outdoor tableware. Nice quiet village which was close for the beach and the Cheviot Hills. Plenty to do and see locally, with places to eat and shop. We had a wonderful week and hope to go back very soon.

“This cottage was like a home from home in a quiet residential area approx 9 miles from Alnwick.”

We definitely will return here next time we are in Northumberland. Owner, Russell, was exceptionally helpful and very nice to deal with. Ramblers Cottage is in a good position for sightseeing with beautiful beaches worth seeing. Beadall Bay & Alnmouth to name a couple.

Anthony March 2019

Claire March 2019

“Unfortunately there was an overpowering smell from the oil boiler.”

It permeated the whole home. I did let the owner know and he has responded. Also the Internet network didn't connect, there was no hair dryer (which I assumed would be there as they always are in other holiday homes). Overall the standard was lower than I am used to and I take UK holidays twice yearly staying in often cheaper but much higher standard houses/cottages.

- Claire, March 2019

Thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry you feel the standard at Ramblers Cottage is lower than you are used to. We have since reviewed the property after your departure and can confirm that the internet is working without issue and the hairdryer is still at the property, I'm sorry you weren't able to locate this during your stay; had we known of any issues, we would have happily looked into these for you. The smell of oil you reported may have been due to the central heating being turned up higher than usual but again, this has been checked and is working as it should. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Property Owner

The property

A semi-detached cottage with a glimpse of charm, located within the delightful village of Powburn. This cosy cottage makes an ideal retreat for families to unwind in style. Upon entering, there is a cloakroom to your left, and adjacent to this, a well equipped kitchen holds everything you need to prepare your favourite meals. Moving round, you will arrive at a comforting sitting room, well-matched with soothing colours and wooden features that bring a sense of character. A traditional dining table completes this layout; a place to sit back and embrace the peace and quiet. French doors open out to the garden and patio area, so that you can step into the sunshine and relax on a nice day. A set of stairs leads up to a neatly styled bathroom, with contrasting tiles and a white finish. The double bedroom is perfectly designed and complimented by serene deep purple tones, then tied together by a luxury en-suite shower room. Finally a second bedroom which comprises a triple bunk-bed with a 4' double on the bottom and a single bunk above gives versatile sleeping arrangements for two of the guests. A countryside window view really elevates this room. Outside of the cottage lies fantastic greenery and countryside views. Wander into the village of Powburn and explore the Northumberland National Park, the impressive castle gardens and The Treehouse Restaurant. The well-known National Trust country house and gardens at Cragside are all within easy reach. This is a fantastic cottage in a rural location.
