Immaculate cottage with a home from home feel. Lots of little extras to make sure you have the perfect holiday. Good quality linen & towels, really good range of kitchen utensils and excellent information regarding the cottage and local area. Harbottle is an ideal base to explore beautiful Northumberland. Whilst this cottage is dog friendly, we didn’t take any dogs and … [Read more...]

Just spent the past week in Northumberland, our 1st visit to the area too. Drakestone cottage is perfect in every way. Our family, 2 girls & a dog loved our stay. Karen is lovely & gave us lots of info on Harbottle & the surroundings. The beaches are amazing, Bamburgh beach especially is out of this world! We crammed alot in but there's still so much more to see. So we definitely plan to visit again next year. Thank you Karen for giving us a home from home �

Just got back from staying at this beautiful cottage. My husband and I only booked up a few weeks ago and could only stay the 2 nights with work. Karen was kind enough to let us stay for the 2 nights. We arrived on christmas eve and stayed here for christmas day we had a walk to the local pub on the night time and everyone was so friendly. We had everything we needed in the cottage and even cooked our first Christmas dinner just us two. It was perfect and didn't want to come home, will definitely book up again as would like to see more. Thanks again Karen :) xx

We have just returned from a weekend trip to Stanegate Cottage, which I would highly recommend. The cottage is spotlessly clean and decorated to a very high standard. One of our party was taking part in the Great North Run and it was a brilliant base to come back to. It was also very easy to get to Newcastle from the cottage. Would love to return to explore the walks in the area. Thank you Karen for making us feel welcome.

Had a fantastic week in Stanegate Cottage. The cottage is well equipped, cozy and absolutely spotless. It is a short drive from Hadrian’s Wall and about an hour from the coast.

We had a week at the cottage called Drakestone in the village of Harbottle. I have rented many dog friendly cottages over the years and this has to be one of the best we have stayed in. Karen has thought of everything you could possibly want or need and the cottage is immaculate and a perfect base to explore Northumberland. I can highly recommend Karen’s cottages and we will book again next year.

We have just returned from staying at Stanegate cottage with our 2 dogs Mick and Tilly. We were the first guests and we have had a lovely weekend despite the weather. We've had rain, sleet, snow and a little sunshine !! Karen has thought of everything to make your stay a home from home. The cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished. The welcome pack is a lovely gesture and there were even treats for the dogs and an Easter egg. The wood burner warmed us all up after days out walking. There is lots of useful information about the surrounding area. Thought for future guests. Please take lots of dog towels and throws to protect Karen's lovely cottage, and use the boot tray for muddy walking boots. We will definitely be back and hopefully will book a stay at Drakestone cottage soon. Thanks so much Karen ��

What a fantastic stay we had in Harbottle (Drakestone Cottage). We went hoping for a few nights of peace and quiet over Christmas, and we wasn’t disappointed. The cottage is warm and cosy, very very clean, and lots of little extras other places don’t think of. The Christmas welcome pack was great, and little extras such as the dog tags with the cottage address were a great idea. The locals made us really welcome, the community coming together to sing carols on Christmas Eve around the village Tree was especially nice, as was the visit to the pub later. The dog walks were great (bring your boots), and lots of places to eat in nearby villages. Can’t wait to return, we felt we hardly scratched the surface of Northumberland. We will certainly be returning ASAP.

We would highly recommend Karen's Kottages as we have just returned from 5 nights at Stanegate Cottage in Fourstones. Karen is a lovely lady and has made the place more than home from home, her attention to detail is fantastic providing everything you could possibly want whilst staying here. The welcome baskets are a nice touch and the place is very dog friendly and she even provides dog towels and blankets and not forgetting treats. The information within the cottage is very helpful and very informative. We had a fantastic time exploring the area and we will be back to continue our travels and also we will be visiting Drakestone at some point in the near future.

Drakestone Cottage is beautifully finished with fabulous walks and scenery on the doorstep. Perfect base to visit the coast and various country walks within the National Park. Great place to switch off from the hustle and bustle but for those that struggle to do so Newcastle approx 45mins drive away & the cottage has super quick WiFi!
