    Sofa not very comfortable

    Cottage was lovely, bed very comfortable with a great shower. It is a lovely location, very quiet. Only downside was the sofa wasn't very comfortable, but given the room understandable.

    I wouldn’t say it was anything we didn’t like, just a couple of things to maybe take a look at. The shower seemed to have a little leak onto the bath mat which we rang out and hung up to dry every day. But it may need looking at so it doesn’t cause any long term damage. And the bulb in the lounge lamp and battery in the kitchen clock just need to be changed.

    Spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need! The location was perfect for visiting lots of different places. The visitors book is a lovely touch with guests leaving lovely feedback and recommendations which we used. We had great fun working the hob and microwave oven, all the instructions for every appliance are there to use.. Would absolutely stay again!

    Directions were inaccurate. Ended up knocking on someone's door for final directions. They were familiar with people knocking on their door for directions! Told it was on the left when it was further up the road on the right!

    Comfortable and very clean.

    It was quite expensive for 1 week. Management company sent slightly aggressive emails. A more friendly approach would have been welcome. It felt like it was a template. Personally I would have developed the garden area, planters, cut back nettles and considered outside presentation too. Bit sparse on the soap, washing liquid and toilet rolls.

    Great location, clean and comfortable.

    Limited cooking facilities. Poor storage, especially in the bedroom. A very slippery shower with no mat or hand holds which I considered a real safety risk. My dogs had to be on the lead at all times outside.

    Well situated for resorts and sights. Property had some attractive features.

    The Pepper Pot was a stunning location for us to relax for a few days in Northumberland. Exceptionally clean and tidy and with great amenities, we couldn't fault it. Dog friendly, too so our border collie also had a wonderful stay. It's one of the few places we can't wait to come back to!

    The living room sofa could have been a little more comfortable, perhaps an L-shaped style to put your feet up and some plumper cushions. The bench for the table was also a bit too high, so it was difficult to have a comfortable sit down meal. We also found that the shower tray leaked.

    The location was perfectly situated to explore the best of Northumberland, including Alnwick, Holy Island and Bamburgh. The cottage itself was very clean and we found the bed particularly luxurious. The bathroom was also very modern - the shower was a particular highlight, a proper rainfall shower that even my 6ft5 partner could fit under!
