No. 9

"We have had a fabulous stay at gorgeous No9! Exactly the cosy, comfortable cottage experience we had hoped for. Thank you we will definitely be back!"

"We would like to thank the owners of No 9 for such a wonderful cottage! It was a fantastic base for a great holiday and we absolutely loved the property. It was so homely and welcoming - there was only the two of us so it was perfect for size but would have been fine if there were 4. The super king sized bed was so comfortable and we loved waking up to the wonderful views, extra special due to the wonderfully colourful rapeseed fields. Thank you for the amazing welcome pack - we have stayed in many, many cottages over the years and this has to be one of the very best we have ever had! We loved the walk over to the pub, especially with the walkway cut through the crops and rapeseed. The blue tits busily going in and out of the nest box on the outbuilding opposite the kitchen window and the swallows hovering outside the lounge & bedroom windows were magical to see.  It was so peaceful sitting in the garden - with the lane to the cottage not really leading anywhere, there was very little traffic other than the occasional tractor to the farm. Thanks also to you - the booking process was really easy and your communication was great."

"We had a lovely time at No 9. The cottage was located in a lovely rural setting and was very welcoming after a long journey, we immediately felt at home. We had wonderful sunny days but cold nights and the wood stove was put into action with two tired dogs taking up position in front of it, after long walks on the beach and on the moors. The welcome pack was lovely, delicious cakes, bread and coffee. The dogs loved the garden and we spent time each afternoon sitting in it watching the local bird life and a hedgehog. We look forward to coming back to explore the area more as we loved the big skies, beaches with hardly anyone on them and the countryside from rolling fields to hills. We wouldn’t hesitate to book either this cottage or another from Crabtree & Crabtree."

"We had a fab time at No.9, and I must thank Angie for sorting it all out for us at the very last minute. We rang your office in a bit of a panic, needing a cottage in the near vicinity for a long weekend with 3 dogs! Angie found us No.9. It exceeded our expectations. When we woke in the morning it was a very nice surprise. Please pass our thanks to Angie. The cottage was very well equipped, warm and very comfortable, and a brilliant pub 'The Bluebell' just down the road that did amazing food and had no problem accommodating our dogs. Will be back in touch with you when we come up again for our next holiday up there."

"We had a lovely holiday thanks and enjoyed staying at No. 9. It had everything we needed and we loved the delicious cake and flapjack left in the welcome pack. All v nice and clean and we would definitely recommend it."

"No. 9 is ideally located for the stunning coast, Cheviot hills and the Borders. The cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished, the kitchen equipped with everything needed for a holiday let including space for guests'" larder" stores (that's surprisingly rare). It was very peaceful place."

"The accommodation was as described and to an excellent standard with everything anyone could require on a self catering holiday. Everywhere beautifully clean and tidy on arrival with welcome pack of food on the table. The meals we purchased from the owner were delicious and were presented on the days arranged."

"Thank you we had a lovely holiday. The cottage was as described and perfect for our needs. We might well use the property again."

"We had a lovely experience in Northumberland and thought that the cottage was beautifully furnished, the big basket of logs plus the hamper and milk were an excellent touch. A perfect cottage and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any of our friends and family."

"We had a great week. Thought No 9 was lovely and probably the best cottage we have rented from Crabtree & Crabtree yet. Both in terms of location and facilities/comfort. We will be back in the future!"

"I just wanted to thank you and the staff at Crabtree & Crabtree for yet another wonderful holiday. No 9 was perfect, a real home from home. The cottage is so comfortable and cosy, and the owner's choice of fabrics and furniture is as perfect there as it is at Barley Hill and The Smithy. It was wonderfully peaceful as well - the perfect place to get away from it all. It was great to be able to cycle and walk from the cottage, and we also really appreciated the outhouse storage for our bikes. We managed to dodge the showers towards the end of the week and loved the big skies and ever-changing light that are so special in Northumberland. The communication from Crabtree & Crabtree is always excellent. I am constantly recommending your website to family and friends!"

"A very pleasant, well appointed and well presented property. I was delighted to find that there was wifi and that is a big bonus and attraction when away from home/office and in such a rural and remote location!"

"We all very much enjoyed our stay so much so we have already recommended it to my mum and dad for a break for them! It was beautifully decorated and it was lovely surroundings. The beds were lovely and comfortable, the log burner was a big hit! The back garden was beautiful and our dog loved that! Great location, not too far to outer towns and easy to find. We would definitely return in the future! Feel lovely and relaxed now."

"Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cottage. It was perfect.”

"The cottage was perfect, thank you."

"We had a very comfortable stay at No 9.  It was well equipped, the bed was just right and the wood burner great, so no complaints."
