    Nothing.

    A beautiful, thoughtfully set up place. Great bathroom, kitchen was great for doing meals after going out. Hosts were absolutely lovely. We used it as a base to explore lots of places over Northumberland and it was a good location for this but, to be honest, the local area was so nice we could have spent lots of time there.

    We could find no fault with this property!

    The location was ideal for our purposes. The cottage was immaculate, and furnished to an excellent standard. We were met at the property by the very friendly owner, who showed us around and left us with the keys. The whole property was warm and immaculate, with nice up-market fixtures and fittings you don't often find in rental properties. There was a welcome pack of wine, biscuits, coffee, etc, and even logs for the log-burner.

    Spacious, clean, renovated to a high standard, comfortable bed, great shower, cottage warm with an efficient heating source. Spa bath was great too. Own parking. Quiet and peaceful location with lovely views from property. Friendly welcoming host. Very nice welcome pack of biscuits and wine. Local supermarket 3 minutes drive down the road and the local people are friendly and helpful. The heritage centre in Bellingham is also well worth a visit with knowledgeable volunteers about the history of the area.

    This is not a dislike, just a suggestion :) A cheese grater would come in handy

    This is a self-catering holiday home with a local co-op in the village and an Aldi 30 minutes drive away. The owners gifted us a bottle of preseco 🍾 some cookies 🍪 🍪 and a lovely postcard stating where we were staying, the lovely lady Georgia(i think that was her name) told us about The Sill as we were asking about Hadrians wall and told us about the local pubs and shops. 5 The Croft was located in a beautiful village called Bellingham and the views were excellent. Myself and my friends would highly recommend this perfect little place to stay.

    There was no freezer compartment in the fridge which could have been a problem if I had brought food for a week rather than the three nights that I was there. My only other quibble was that there wasn't much shelf space to put toiletries etc around the basin, nor in the shower.

    I arrived at 5, The Croft half an hour early but Jayme let me in even though he was halfway through cleaning the house. He was very friendly and gave me a good tour of the property. It was very clean and looked as it it had hardly ever been used. Although I parked on the road outside for the first night, I moved my car round the back which made loading the car so much easier than the unloading which was a bit unnerving on such a busy road. Although busy, you hardly noticed any noise as there is quite a big front garden between the road and house. As it happened, I didn't need to use my car at all during my stay as the village centre is only a short walk away. The welcome pack was a nice touch and much appreciated. I had taken my own tea towels, oven gloves, cutlery, coffee, sugar etc so I didn't use those items which were provided in the house. There was a dishwasher that I didn't use but there wasn't a washing machine which may be a problem for a family staying for a week or longer. The bathroom was big more in keeping with a boutique hotel. The living room was big and even with four adults in it, I don't think it would feel cramped.

    The cottage is beautiful! Renovated to a high standard. Comfortable and spotless, all round perfection 😍 We felt so comfortable, we'd be happy to live there. Bedrooms are spacious and the bed/wardrobe in the main bedroom are exquisite. Excellent evenings in front of the log burner and my god, the spa bath, my personal favourite, after a long drive it's just what you need to ease the tension. To have a lovely spa bath and then sit in front of that log burner was just what I needed after such a long journey. Sooooo relaxing. You'd be mad not to try it. Jayme and Georgina were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. No doubt we will be back for sure 😀
