About

I have run my holiday cottage for over 10 years now and enjoy providing guests with the little extras that ensure they have a great holiday. I live next door to The Croft so am on hand if guests need any help but the cottage is very private with its own terrace and garden.

Perfect central location/ accessibility for visiting what the area has to offer. Rothbury had all we needed to shop, eat out etc. Hope to return.

Thank you for your review - as you point out Rothbury is in the middle of Northumberland and as well as being on the doorstep of the National Park with splendid walks in the hills it is easy to get to the coast, Hadrian's Wall or over the border into Scotland. I have lived here for over 30 years now and still find new things to see and do.

We had a lovely, comfortable stay at the Croft, there was plenty of attention to detail and we certainly couldn't fault anything. The location is great set up on the hillside, but very handy for local amenities too.

We had a fantastic stay at The Croft, and Cathy was a super welcoming host, who also kindly gave us a lovely welcome pack of homemade and local produce. The house itself is beautiful, had everything we needed and a spectacular location with views to Rothbury and the surrounding hills. We would definately go back. Sarah xx

We had a fantastic week in this gorgeous accomodation. The view is to die for and in a great location to explore Alnwick and the Northumberland coastlline. Really can't fault it. Cathy is a wonderful host.

Cathy is a friendly, extremely helpful host, and the cottage is beautiful, stunningly situated and with many thoughtful touches. The welcome basket was generous and delicious, for which we were most grateful, and the house is warm and full of character and light. It would be as well to be aware that the entrance is slightly tricky for anyone with limited mobility, as there is a decking ramp to step over and down , into the front door. We were fine, as would be anyone who hasn't sight or mobility issues. The views are wonderful, the town of Rothbury is well-served and attractive, and there are great walks from the door, as well as plenty of other places to visit in the area. Thank you very much for a most enjoyable, comfortable week, Cathy. We very much hope to be able to return.

A lovely house offered by a very friendly and helpful owner, Cathy. On arrival we were made very welcome. The house is in a great location on a hill overlooking Rothbury and the Croquet valley. The hill is steep but we enjoyed the exercise and was not an issue. For us, the location was perfect with walks from the door up on the 'Terraces' and a short walk into town. There is also a lot of places to visit a short drive away, such as Simonside, Cragside and The Cheviots as well as the coast. The house is also very dog friendly, we just needed to keep an eye out for Cathy's cats! We would definitely recommend.

Cathy is an excellent, friendly host and provided a welcome pack of bread, croissants, milk and jam. The Croft is a very spacious, traditional cottage with two modern bathrooms and a downstairs loo. The views from the terrace looking south are superb with Rothbury down below and Simonstone in the distance. We recommend the walk to the summit of Simonstone, on the way viewing cup and ring engravings on the sandstone rocks. The moorland above Rothbury to the north has some excellent paths with good views to the Cheviot Hills. National Trust properties at Cragside and Wallington are both excellent. Alnmouth is a lovely village on the coast and great for a walk along the beach. In Rothbury there is one small supermarket (Co-op) which provides most commodities including newspapers. There are other specialist shops including bakeries and a butcher. The Narrow Nick pub (named after the footpath between it and the Co-op) serves good beer. We had a great week.

Our second visit, and would happily go again. Gorgeous cottage, many small delights, as well as large ones! (marmelade highly recommended!). Views to die for. Charming and welcoming landlady next door.
