Pros:

Accommodation clean and comfortable. Lounge and kitchen/ dining area very nice. The bed was comfortable and shower good. Location great. Lovely village. Nice, quiet street. Basic locals pub next door ( Grey Bull) for a drink/ football and Battlesteads inn nearby which was nicer and food good. Good location for Roman remains, Go Ape at Matfen, Kielder water. Car essential though. Lots of nice walks around.

Cons:

Kitchen not that well equipped if you were staying a week and wanted to cook often. Plenty of pans but only one glass dish and no bowls/ other serving dishes. A Sunday roast would be tricky for example. And if you wanted to cook a hot meal and serve with a salad you'd need to serve the salad in a saucepan! We were only there 4 nights so it wasn't a major issue

Perfect stay in a beautiful location
Pros:

I can’t rate the property highly enough. It was clean, bright and airy. It had everything we needed including a fully equipped kitchen, tea/coffee, condiments and a lovely touch by the owners to provide milk, fruit and biscuits. The location was perfect! The village of Wark has a hotel/restaurant, pub, shop and cafe. It’s a short drive to places of interest. Our dog was welcome and we had a fenced off area for her to come and go.

Cons:

Nothing!

My new favourite place.
Pros:

The apartment was immaculate, and very comfortable. Felt like home from home. The scenery around us was absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to coming back. And we will be recommending to friends and family. We've had some amazing days out. And the cafe nextdoor is superb. Wendy is the most wonderful lady and very knowledgeable.

Overall an easy 10/10 - will definitely be back!
Pros:

Everything about this property was fantastic from start to finish. The communication in advance was easy to follow and clear. Everything at the apartments is clearly labelled and there was nothing extra I could think of that wasn’t provided - including washing up liquid, tea towel, cooking oil and all the pans and crockery you could possibly want!
The dog facilities were excellent and it was lovely sitting in the back yard knowing the dogs were safe and happy.

Cons:

The only feedback I could give is to let guests know what to do with their glass as all other recycling was very well catered for.

A superb property in lovely surroundings and an ideal base for exploring Northumberland.
Pros:

The apartment was clean, tidy and well furnished throughout. There is private parking immediately in front of the premises and a lovely, enclosed garden area to the rear. Local immenities include a village shop, a couple of pubs and a cafe. We stayed here earlier this year and were so impressed that we returned for a longer visit.
