We used the cottage as a base for accessing both the coast and the rural hills and mountains. This was a perfect location for both. We enjoyed our time at the cottage and the village of Rothbury. If we are in the area again we would definitely look to book again.

This is the 4th time we have stayed at River View (and we also stayed in one of the other apartments in this building on another occasion). Aside from having friends in the area and it being in a good location halfway between 2 sets of family, it is a testament to the high quality of River View that we keep coming back. The views from the property over the Coquet valley are spectacular, it is quiet and peaceful yet only 15 minutes' walk from the town with its range of independent shops/eating places. There is lots to see and do in the area including scenic walks/National Trust and other houses and gardens/museums/pristine beaches etc. What makes River View really special, apart from its location, is the overall quality of the accommodation. There are comfortable sofas, Smart TV, reliable wifi, selection of DVDs, books, games, jigsaws and high quality children's toys in the spacious lounge; good-size dining table and sturdy chairs in the huge kitchen diner, and excellent facilities in the kitchen itself. Apart from all the usual appliances it has lots of china and cutlery, so there is no need to keep putting the dishwasher on for small loads; there is also a plentiful supply of plastic cups/bowls/cutlery for children. On arrival, as well as milk, there was a very generous selection of baked goods both sweet and savoury. The beds are extremely comfortable with good quality bedding and towels. Everything was spotlessly clean. This property is both child-friendly and dog-friendly, and has been a lovely base for members of our family to stay with us as well as time for the 2 of us to just enjoy the space and relaxing area on our own. Everything about this 'home from home' suits us very well - from the booking process to the excellent communication with the management office hosted by Andrew. When we were originally looking for somewhere to stay in this area, and first saw the property photos online we thought 'oh wow' - and can assure potential future guests that walking through the door that the reality is even better!

Our 2nd time at H’yem and 3rd to Rothbury. The property was super clean and well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. No vehicular access but parking close by as is the river walk and children’s playground. The Property welcomes dogs and although no gated garden the shared courtyard proved no problem for our pooch. Dog walks and bins are right on the doorstep. Neighbours and locals were all very friendly and welcoming. The small town has everything you could need. Bakers and butchers come highly recommended, especially the cream filled scones and steak and ale pies. Coop and Londis have other essentials. The Italian restaurant does lunchtime deals and the pizzas from Little Italy are authentic and delicious. There are 3 public houses which serve food and a fish and chip shop, so no need to self cater. Northumberland has much so offer and Rothbury and H’yem are both gems.

very good stay, everything you needed was there. en suite in the downstairs bedroom was a definite bonus! location was excellent in the center of the village with plenty of on street parking. even though you were in the center it was very quiet.

Lovely, comfortable accommodation. Had everything that you would need for a self catering holiday. Great location too with shops, restaurants, pub etc pretty much on your doorstep. Rothbury is a lovely village, within easy reach of other towns and villages like Alnwick. Would highly recommend the area and this property.

We had a fabulous break at Hyem. The cottage is absolutely lovely and had everything we needed. Rothbury is a fantastic place to stay and close to Cragside and Alnwick too. Parking is available close by and we never struggled for a space. We would definitely recommend and would happily stay again.

"Fantastic stay. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable, with excellent facilities. The place was spotless and well-maintained. WiFi perfect. Highly recommend!"

We loved the property and surrounding area. The house was warm and welcoming and with different "spaces" to it. The kitchen was a joy to cook in and very spacious , we could have benefitted from an electric blender, but otherwise the kitchen was amply supplied. The views from the house were lovely and the local walks beautiful. The village of Rotherbury was a delight and we enjoyed shopping in the independant shops. We had looked forward to an evenings entertainment for new year between the gof club dance and local pubs...but ended up with colds! It is defintely a house and area I would recommend to a couple, family group, or friends.

Had a really lovely week in Rothbury. River Neuk is perfectly placed tucked behind the main street. You have great walks up the river straight outside your door. The property itself is really well equipped & we were extremely comfortable there. Some really thoughtful treats were left for us. Hope to come again in the future.

Very pleasant stay in a well appointed property in a good location. Would have no problem in recommending it to family and friends. Thank you Andrew
