Beautifully presented, comfy, cosy cottage in very tranquil surroundings. So peaceful and no light pollution at night, so you can see so many stars! Bear in mind nearest shop is apx 30 mins drive away. This is a remote, beautiful location.<br/>Mix up when we arrived as wrong key code had been sent through for lock box. Called host number (we arrived late in evening) which took three attempts to get through, but they sorted it straightaway once I spoke to someone. Another person from the team also called me back within minutes from a prev voicemail I left, which was also reassuring. <br/>Definitely recommend this lovely cottage, a must for nature, fresh air and relaxing.

Lovely cottage on a working farm set just on the edge of the Derwent Reservoir. stunning location! 20 mins to Hexham and Corbridge and 45mins into Newcastle City centre. The beaches of Northumberland within 1 hr. The cottage was warm, clean and well equiped.

The house was in great condition. It was good that there was Internet which I used to stay in contact with family members.<br/><br/>I was unable to find the external bins as i only returned to the property after dark. The notice inside does not mention where the bins were. Due to the location it was difficult to get in contact with booking agent when I was unable to find the keys. The is no cell coverage in the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mill – a lovely cottage that exceeded our expectations. The cleanliness was exceptional, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere in the midst of truly beautiful surroundings. It served as the perfect getaway for us, providing a peaceful retreat to visit family and find some much-needed rest, especially considering my pregnancy. Our dog, Cali, also had a fantastic time, enjoying the abundance of amazing walks available. Overall, it was a delightful experience that we would highly recommend.

After booking and paying for our stay, the property contacted us re "finalising" our reservation. They demanded ID verification and a £250 damage deposit with £10 admin fee or £25 damage waiver. NONE OF THIS is mentioned in the policies/important information on booking.com. We paid the latter to avoid any "issues" getting our deposit back. The code for the key box had not been provided by check in - had to call to get it over the phone, was then sent. On arrival I turned on the kitchen tap - it fell apart in my hand. It was already broken but had been carefully "reassembled" to look OK. No phone coverage in the area and the Internet was both poor and intermittent throughout our stay.<br/><br/>While the apartment itself was OK, the unexpected "ID verification" process and the extra costs re damage deposit, etc left an unpleasant feel. This needs to be mentioned on the property listing so that potential guests can view it before booking.
