Memorable Morpeth
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
Beautiful goodies supplied by the host on arrival.
The house is decorated with such style, everything you could need for a short or long stay and all within walking distance of Morpeth's main centre.
Sad to leave! Thank you Suzanne & Andrew for letting us stay in your beautiful home.
Just a wonderful place to stay.

Was our second stay in this beautiful cottage.
Felt at home from the second we arrived, especially when the air con had been put on on a very hot afternoon.
Thanks again Suzanne and Andrew.

Very comfortable getaway
The property was even more beautiful than the photos, and our host left us a welcome basket of local treats. Was a very comfortable place to stay while attending a wedding in the area.
Excellent. Very clean and well maintained and equipped. The hosts went that extra step. A great place to stay with our tiny dog- Ziggy
