My husband and I were very impressed with Riverside Cottage and had a fabulous week! The Cottage is well-equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable indeed. This beautiful little village is the perfect location to explore Northumberland with ease. The Northumberland Arms and The Running Fox bakery very close by serve excellent food and you will receive great service with a smile. We were greeted with a delicious hamper from the Bakery on arrival. We would have no hesitation in recommending this gorgeous Cottage for a fantastic stay and hope to visit again.

First visit to Northumberland & very impressed. Riverside well positioned to tour the area. Property very homely and comfortable. Beds were great. Only small criticism was lack of outside space, but lovely walks on doorstep to compensate.
In particular would recommend visits to Alnwick / Alnwick Castle, National Trust Cragside, Alnmouth beach, Vindolanda / Housesteads Roman remains, Bamburgh Castle & beach, but tbh everywhere has charm and is of interest.
Warwick
This is a very lovely cottage, well appointed with excellent facilities. Although situated on the road through the village it is vey quiet indeed.
Buses to Morpeth & Newcastle and Alnwick stop right outside.
Northumberland is a beautiful county with outstanding sites and beaches to visit.
Northumbrian people are so friendly and welcoming and there are lots of events in the Village Hall and the wonderful Gallery with crafts for sale and regular events and classes.

Felton is lovely, only 15 mins from beautiful beaches and nice restaurants nearby.
The property was well equipped and had comfortable beds and great TVs! We really enjoyed the welcome hamper, thanks. The communication with owner via email was quick and efficient and the digital guide was really helpful.

We loved our first visit so much we booked to stay over Christmas. Christmas at Riverside Cottage was a delight. When we arrived the cottage had been decorated with lovely and welcoming Christmas touches.
Riverside Cottage is very comfortable, homely and furnished as a befits a lovely old cottage - full of character and charm. The kitchen is a wonderful space and any keen cook will be delighted by how well equipped it is. The beds are super comfortable and the bed linen and towels pristine. The cottage is set on the riverside between two peaceful villages. The Welcome hamper was wonderful, with cakes, scones, quiche slices, and a large sourdough loaf. There was milk in the fridge. Northumberland is full of history and we particularly enjoyed our second visit to Hadrian's Wall. We did not eat out but food at the Northumberland Arms, close to the cottage, looked good. We cannot recommend this gorgeous cottage more highly.
