“This is the most beautiful cottage, in the most stunning location, we had the most amazing holiday staying at Irt cottage.”
The farm shop and restaurant next door is fantastic and serves delicious food, the gift voucher we received for free ice cream/coffee at the cottage was very much appreciated. The cottage would benefit from a complete deep clean, high dusting, woodwork, walls etc, but the bed linen and towels were very clean. The double beds are very firm mattresses, if you are used to a firm mattress you will be fine, I prefer a softer mattress personally but it wouldn’t put me off returning. The cottage is equipped with everything, washing machine and detergent, iron/ironing board, washing up liquid, dish cloth, tea towels, oven gloves, games, books, it really is home from home. One thing I think would be really useful is maybe supplying guests with some milk and butter for when they arrive, we arrived quite late and there is no local shop nearby (the farm shop next door didn’t sell either) There are some lovely pubs in the area, the bridge in served fantastic food and is dog friendly, and in gosforth the gosforth hall inn has a wonderful beer garden, we were lucky to have some live music and a bbq when we visited. All in all the best uk holiday I’ve ever had, can’t wait to return to this beautiful place
