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 ��

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 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.

Had a few days away at Fourstones, stayed a Karen’s stanegate cottage, home from home couldn’t fault it. Had a couple of lovely meals at the local pub the red lion. Some lovely walks with our two dogs.

Popped up to Northumberland for an impromptu weekend with friends and my dog. The Stanegate cottage comfortably fits in 4 adults. It was immaculate on arrival and had everything we needed for the weekend. Unfortunately we went on the only weekend with heavy downpours it seems but this didn’t dampen our spirits. Took a trip to Hadrians Wall and the Kilder Forest thanks to recommendations made by Karen. A lovely cottage in a lovely part of the country.

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.
