Reviews
"Spacious Cosy clean and comfortable. great fitted kitchen with fab views. location good bus stop outside to Newcastle."
"We stayed at Houghton North Farm Cottage while we were visiting my parents and family. We wanted somewhere we could hold a first birthday party for our son, so we needed somewhere with enough space. The cottage was very well apointed, and looked like it had been decorated/renovated quite recently. The huge sliding door in the kitchen (more of a moveable glass wall really!) was impressive, and both bathrooms were beautifully finished. We were impressed by the lovely solid wood furniture in the cottage, which seemed to be of a high standard. We had enough space to accomodate about 15 family members for the birthday party. The cottage is on a working farm, and the owners were friendly and pleasant when we arrived. Once we were booked in, they pretty much left us alone to get on with it, which suited us perfectly. The location suited us perfectly - close enough to Newcastle to be convenient for visiting family, but far enough out to feel more peaceful. It would be a nice base from which to visit places in the Tyne valley and along Hadrian's Wall. The only slight negative I can think of is a lack of outdoor space. There's a small concrete "yard" just outside the kitchen, but no grass area or garden. It wasn't a problem for us at all, but some people may miss having somewhere nicer to sit outdoors."
"Excellent facilities, and very comfortable. Convenient both for Newcastle, and for Hadrian's Wall. The only one (slight) problem was access - a difficult turn in and out onto a fast road. Mirrors needed? We would certainly stay there again."
"A wonderfull location to stay for a vacation in one of the best counties in England.My family and myself felt so relaxed during our stay in this well provided cottage.We stayed for one week in September 2012 and again in January 2013.The owners are so helpful and Paula makes sure that you enjoy your stay.Being a working farm,you must be perpared to see the odd animal giving you the "nosey" look.Kitchen was very well stocked if you wish to do your own cooking,but with the fine local public houses this was not an option.Strongly recommend."
