• "We all had a wonderful time staying here with superb hosts Richard and Fiona. Accommodation was conducive to a great time, spacious, clean, very well appointed kitchen, enclosed courtyard for our grandson and dog. Tastefully decorated throughout with very nice bed linen and towels. Richard was so helpful, faultless. The whole family ranked this as our best Airbnb in Northumberland, which we have had many."

  • "Second stay at this beautiful cottage This was our second visit. First was with family in the 3 bed option. This time just the 2 of us with our dog in the 2 bed which is all downstairs. Once again it was very clean and the location is brilliant for the dog. The Plough pub at end of the drive is now open so we went for drinks on a couple of evenings. Lovely pub, reasonable prices, friendly folk and VERY dog friendly. Communication was fantastic once again and the weather was kind for us. Loved Alnwick market and if you like reading then a visit to Barter Books there is a must. Another amazing stay and we will certainly be back."

Richard and Fiona were incredibly inviting, friendly and go above and beyond to ensure the perfect stay for their guests. The cottage is located in a very peaceful setting with stunning views and plenty to do in the surrounding areas. This was our first holiday away as a family of 4 and they made being away from home with a baby a breeze. We will definitely be returning!"

We visited Harthope Valley, the standing stones at Duddo and had trips to Alnwick and Wooler. It's a lovely area to keep going back to and the cottage is a great base."

  • "Spent a lovely long weekend at The Kennelman 3 bedroom cottage with extended family and our dog. Was so good we have booked the 2 bed option to go back ourselves with our dog later in the year. Absolutely immaculate, very clean, well equipped to a great standard with comfy beds and furniture. Extremely friendly and helpful hosts that are around if you need them but give you your space too. Fantastic touches such as a very comprehensive information file, fresh flowers and lovely welcome pack with local products. The garden and great walks from the door made it ideal for the dog. Facilities and bedrooms downstairs were ideal for us. Garage in the village has a well-stocked shop and Alnwick not far away for eateries and takeaways. Lots of places to visit a short drive away too. Looking forward to our next trip when the dog-friendly pub at the end of the drive will be open after refurbishment. Perfect!"

We had everything that we needed for our stay and more. Wide range of excellent facilities. We will definitely book again. Powburn is so near to so many great places and the Cheviot walks. If you book this accommodation you will not be disappointed. We enjoyed cycling, running, walking, the beach and lovely pub lunches."

  • "Beautiful cottage, it couldn't have been better. Extremely peaceful too. Location was super, never ending views, as we returned to the cottage one evening, a barn owl flew through, so lovely. The owners were lovely too, explained everything we needed to know, everything was easy to use even the dish washer, something I really need at home! So many places to visit in the area and the weather was wonderful too."

  • "A Real Gem in Harry Potter-Land. Our Northumberland Cottage was a delight, a wonderful mix of old and new -- historic buildings with modern conveniences. We (3 adults) stayed in the Kennelman, that featured 3 spacious bedrooms, a full, well-appointed kitchen, and great common spaces. The hosts, Richard and Fiona, were so helpful, and thought of everything to make the cottage comfortable, attractive and convenient. With so much historical architecture and castles to see in the area, it's no wonder the Harry Potter franchise frequently filmed there. Taking in all the nearby sights, we felt like we were in Harry Potter's backyard!"

Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming to both us and our dog. Garden area was also very secure for the dog. Loads to explore in the surrounding area with good walks and places to eat. I can’t recommend highly enough, we will be back. "

  • "The Kennelman is a beautiful cottage. It was perfect for our family stay with the dog. The bedrooms are a great size and very comfortable. The amenities in the cottage, as well as the range of utensils, was great for self catering. Everything is provided for your stay, and excellent quality. The dog had her own bowls, throw and treats provided. The enclosed garden meant the dog was safe outside The location was just what we wanted as we were able to take walks from the property and visit the amazing Ingram cafe which exhibits some interesting art work- we bought a couple of paintings. Wooler, Alnwich and Rothbury are all a short drive away. We ate at the Tankerville Arms in Elgingham, which was a 10 minute drive away. A lovely cottage, a great setting with views to die for and the perfect location for walking and visiting small towns in Northumberland."

  • "We stayed in The Kennelman Cottage for a Long-Weekend and truly loved this peaceful place and it’s beautiful views of the Northumberland Countryside. The accommodation was pristine clean and immaculate throughout with great amenities. We were able to unpack and immediately start our holiday, as everything we required was on-hand and easily accessible. The Cottage Handbook explained everything we needed to know, so there were no issues at all. The Hosts, Richard and Fiona, were extremely welcoming and wanted us to have a great stay - which we did! Their recommendations for local walks from the Cottage door were super and we particularly enjoyed strolling through the Valley to the Ingram Cafe. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable Weekend Winter Break and will return in the Summer for longer to explore more of this stunning corner of Northumberland. We will also look forward to trying the new Plough Pub and Running Fox Bakery that we’re told are opening up in the village very soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay."

  • "Location was perfect to explore Northumberland and wonderful walks from the door to the Breamish valley. Also getting a Running Fox Bakery soon to open opposite that does one of the best breakfasts in the UK I have had. Richard and Fiona were exceptionally thoughtful in the way they have created three wonderful cottages, and also as hosts during your stay. Brilliant recommendations and our dog Belker loved meeting Monty too. A delight when you find a property cared for and done up to a great standard. Photos do not show how great the cottage is and was a lovely surprise. Thank you so much Fiona and Richard and we look forward to returning."

  • "A lovely break away from the normality of life, made even nicer by the great accommodation. The property was clean, very well presented and had everything you needed and more. It was a comfortable base to go exploring and relaxing place to rest on an evening. The owners were lovely people and nothing was too much trouble. The little touches they added to welcome us were a lovely touch."

  • "Richard & Fiona were super-welcoming and friendly on arrival. We had a brief chat about local recommendations and the cottage. The cottage was spotless, well equipped and really well finished with some nice little touches such as the welcome pack and dog biscuits etc. There‘a a useful handbook and accompanying web site that is well worth a look. We used the Kennelman as a base to visit some castles, beaches and the local countryside. It’s 15 mins from alnwick and 30 mins from some beautiful unspoilt beaches. It was perfect for our party of 6 adults, 1 baby and 2 small dogs. No hesitation in recommending or staying there again when we’re next in Northumberland."

  • "Excellent, hit the spot for us. The cottage was perfect for our stay, very clean and spacious with a nice out door space. We had our two dogs with us and having fantastic footpath walks literally from the garden of the cottage was fantastic. The views are wonderful and the peace and quiet very special. A great base for exploring the many sites of Northumberland, but a real treat was a walk from our door up the valley to Ingram, with it's lovely coffee shop and museum. We will be booking again.

Nothing was too much trouble for them. We will definitely be back with more family! Thank you once again. 5 stars all round!"

  • "The most wonderful place - we would absolutely recommend to everyone. The best hosts - they've made this such a brilliant trip for our little family and have really thought about everything. All of the cottages are stunning and extremely well equipped. There was such a lovely welcome basket when we arrived with local produce- very thoughtful. I kept feeling like we had found a special corner of heaven - it's so quiet with the only sounds being the birds singing, and despite having a small baby, we feel so relaxed from our visit. The surroundings are unbeatable - it really is so picturesque. Richard and Fiona have thought of so many special touches to make the visits extra lovely, and gave us some great recommendations for local places to visit. Also, the cottage was spotlessly clean. We instantly felt at home. We have never gone back to the same place twice but are already planning our next visit."
