Beautiful property in an idyllic location. I have 2 teactive dogs, so finding a suitable property to stay at is inportant. This property ticked all the boxes. Great quiet walks, amazing views, noone as a durect neighbor to the back garden. Private gated driveway. The house is a fanrastuc size, super clean, and felt at home straight away. The cottage isn't far from where i live, and i chose it as i was having works done to do the house and wanted to be out of the way. Despite that, i would still return as it felt a million miles away ftom real life.

Peaceful and Excellently Located
The cottage is lovely and just as described. The directions were thorough and easy to understand. We arrived just before dark and found our hosts had gone above and beyond to ready the place for us. The travel cot and baby gates were all set up and supplies for the dog were ready, so it made getting everyone to bed easy that first night. Everything to get us through to a morning shopping trip was available and much appreciated! We were never lacking for cooking supplies, laundry supplies, etc. throughout the stay and clean up on the day we left was easy too. The cottage walled garden was perfect for letting our dog off leash, and the grounds around were excellent for walks. It was so gorgeous and peaceful, but not too far from any of the sights we wanted to see. We were able to keep all of our day trips under an hour one-way, which was perfect. We plan to come back some time and highly recommend the cottage.

Christmas break
We spent a very enjoyable and relaxing week at Shortsflatt Farm over Christmas. The house was very clean and the owners left us a lovely welcome pack and a Christmas tree and decorations. The location is so peaceful with stunning views of Northumberland. We definitely didn’t want to leave at the end of the week.

The cottage
What a wonderful place to visit , cottage was a picture, as well as warm and welcoming for a winter break we had in December. Countryside is vast and stunning. Will be back for a summer visit. Host had thought of everything, there was even a fresh pint of milk in the fridge so we could have a cuppa on arrival. Brilliant, thank you.

Perfect location
A lovely cottage in a wonderful location, if peace and quiet is what your after then this is ideal. Large garden for the dog to explore. Ideal base for exploring further afield. Owners were available if needed, although they just left us in peace. Everything you need is catered for,even logs for the fire. All in all a very nice place to stay.

I have just returned from a stay at The Shortflatt Farm Cottage in Northumberland which is where I have stayed at for a week. I was very disappointed at the standard of this accommodation and also the cleanliness of this. I have taken photo’s if required to add to my complaint as I don’t believe this has just been left from the last people who stayed here, this has been over a period of time. On booking I was not made aware of the condition of this property which left me and my family very disappointed at our stay. I was also charged a service fee which leads me to wonder where this money is actually being spent as it is not spent on deep cleaning. On arrival my Wife had to spend time cleaning out the fridge which was left dirty and stained. We wouldn’t use the washing machine as this was thick of dirt. The wifi is very poor and I had little to no connection at times when I had work to complete, this wasn’t stated on the description of this property. My Daughter went to use the shower and there were hairs left on the shower walls. The shower was dirty and the Xpelair was thick of dust. Due to this we didn’t use the shower. We didn’t come for a weeks holiday to then have to clean the property ourselves so that we knew it had been cleaned properly. For the price of the accommodation I don’t believe this is reflected in the accommodation, amenities or cleanliness. I booked The Croft Northumberland with you last month and I would have expected the same level of standard with this stay. I appreciate this is a farm cottage however, I would have still expected this to be of a high standard for the price.
