Hello Chris and Fiona,

I thought you might like some feedback on our holiday:

Sawmill Cottage felt like home; a good place to relax in the evenings after a busy day out. We effectively had five days to explore Northumberland but we squeezed in quite a lot. The Sunday was the only rainy day and we spent time indoors at Cragside which was full of interest and definitely worth a visit. On the other days we walked for miles all around Northumberland: from Craster to Howick Hall and back then onto Dunstanburgh Castle and back to Craster. Howick Hall gardens are beautiful and particularly the new sensory garden. A walk to Windy Gyle on a reasonably good weather day was very windy nonetheless! Great to stand at Russel's Cairn and look into Scotland one way and England the other. A visit to Holy Island and then to Berwick on Tweed where we walked the Elizabethan town walls on Wednesday. On our final day we completed the Rothbury Round; a day of beautiful weather and probably our favourite walk of the holiday with the bonus of a starting point 5 minutes away in Rothbury.

This was our first visit to Northumberland. We didn't realise how big an area it is and how many different experiences are available for holiday makers. The countryside is less frequented than most of the other areas we've visited in England and results in more unspoilt countryside and an abundance of wildlife. It has left us wanting to return and I'm sure we will in the not too distant future. Sawmill Cottage is an ideal base, quiet and perfectly located on the edge of the national park and just half an hour from the coast. We enjoyed our holiday. Thank you.

Regards,

Martin
