Visitor Review: Wonderful cottage in a great location
We have just spent two weeks in this charming cottage in the picturesque village of Ovingham. The owners made us feel so welcome and were even so thoughtful as to leave some toys and drawing things and games for my two young children. The cottage has been finished to a really high standard whilst retaining original features such as the beautiful inglenook fireplace complete with wood burning stove (which we even used in August on the chillier evenings!). The beds are very comfortable and the towels were better then a hotel!
The location was perfect for us – we enjoyed lots of walks/bike rides along the Tyne towards Wylam, visits to the coast, Hexham gaol and some pottery painting in Hexham too. We also had a fantastic day out at Beamish Hall hotel where the kids loved the woodland trail, playground and the fairy garden.
Newcastle on the train was so easy and with so much to see and do with kids. We enjoyed a couple of lunches in the White Swan in the village along with great pizza in the Wood Oven in Wylam. We can't wait to come back as still so much more to see and discover in this beautiful part of the country and now we know there is such a cosy welcoming cottage to stay in.

‘Ovingham is a great holiday destination for a toddler! The bridge and the trains proved excellent entertainment as well as the wonderful little café and play park area opposite the station. The short walks were perfect too. I think its safe to say we’ll definitely be back.’
‘Lovely cottage, tastefully decorated with everything you need. Great location…’
