Host & Stay | Percy Cottage — Guest Reviews

We stayed here for a wedding nearby and absolutely loved it! The location was perfect, and the house was so cosy and welcoming. Our 2-year-old was delighted watching the sheep and tractors in the field across the road - such a lovely touch. When the heating stopped working, someone came out within 20 minutes and sorted it straight away. Fantastic service and a great stay overall - thank you!

We had an enjoyable stay here. lovely property with beautiful views across rolling fields. Very good location and enjoyable. We used this property as a Base whilst attending a wedding nearby.

The Only way is Percy Cottage Positive: Stayed for a nearby wedding. Cottage was like a home away from home...with a log burner!! Warm, cozy and well equipped in all rooms. It was absolutely spotless and the decor "Ooh La La" Not so expensive shop two mins walk, providing essentials/food. Thank You Negative: Being 300 miles from this cottage!!

Beautifully decorated cottage, with comfortable beds, good water pressure for the shower, nice outside sitting area for a cup of tea. We had everything we needed for a lovely stay while attending a wedding nearby.

It was a nice stay and perfect location for a wedding at a nearby venue. Communication was good. Positive: Bedrooms were a good size. It was nicely decorated though the dark walls sapped the light. Negative: The bathroom needed a deep clean.

Perfect Positive: Booked the cottage for a family wedding and it was perfect,location was great. The cottage was beautiffuly decorated and had everything we needed. Own parking spot at the back. Negative: Only one little niggle,big waggons started passing really early so take ear plugs

Fantastic property, perfect location for the two day wedding we were attending. Well equipped and immaculate. Really comfortable bed and a lovely decor. If we are in the area again we would 100% use this property again x

Lovely place for a stay over at friends wedding close by. Looked like photos and was very cosy and well equipped throughout

Ideal location for us attending a wedding at Woodhill Hall, 1 x mile away. Loved all the trendy decor. Comfortable beds and everything we needed. Thank you so much. Would highly recommend

Lovley place to stay for a couple of days! Positive: - Stunning decor and cleanliness of the house - Secluded off road parking - Wood and coal available for the fire in the lounge - Great location as it was down the road from where our friend was getting married Negative: - Just a watch out but the stairs are very steep! - Extra charge asked about a week before of £30 not included in inital payment

Absolutely stunning cottage we staying in otterburn for a wedding at le petite chateau only a short walk away. The cottage is decorated beautifully with everything you need for a little get away the dressing room was a huge bonus when the four of us were getting ready.

Poor management of nice cottage Positive: Location for wedding at Petite Chateau was good. House was clean and decor was fun and comfortable Negative: Didn't like the surprise of a further £25 being required one week before our stay - that should be built into the cost up front. This was an expensive stay (£200 per night in the week, outside of school holidays) but the check-in was late (4pm) and check out early (10am). The booking said late check out could be requested. Requested 11am check out but told this wasn't possible due to cleaning rotas. Don't offer things that aren't available. Nice coffee machine in the kitchen but pods supplied don't match the machine so not useable. Kitchen bin far too small. Fancy salt and pepper shakers were empty. Appreciate these are little things, but if you are going to charge a premium these are the little things that make a difference.

Amazing location, clean and cosy. Positive: Perfect location for a wedding at Petit le chateau

Positive: Cosy, clean and well looked after. Perfect location for guests at a wedding at Le Petit Chateau.

Perfect for our trip, everything we needed it to be Positive: Beautifully appointed, comfy beds, excellently equipped kitchen & perfect location for the wedding we were attending.

Overall a great place to stay. I was in the area for a wedding and this was the perfect location, a quick walk from the venue. It was well decorated and had everything we needed. Fit 4 people comfortably in the 2 bedrooms. I managed to fix the hot water with the instructions they gave for resetting the boiler. The hosts had a professional come double check within a few hours to ensure it worked as well. I’d recommend if attending a wedding in the area.

Lovely cottage, perfect for our stay. Well equipped kitchen, lovely sitting room with log burner. Two good sized bedrooms with an additional room which we used as a dressing room to get ready for the wedding we were attending in the village. Bathroom had a great shower, plenty of hot water. Really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay again.

Gorgeous cottage and great for a short stay for local weddings. Check in is easy with a lockbox. Cottage was relatively clean but very dusty in some places, some bits are broken etc.

Lovely quiet get away. Great pub/restaurant down the road that you can also take dogs in. Shop close by. Only thing is, the plug in the bathroom sink doesn’t drain the water fast enough so the sink fills up very fast with water. Dishwasher tablets left out to use but could not find a dishwasher? Other than that nice break/ nice interior.

Brilliant place to stay for a weekend with the dog, well decorated, looked after and in a lovely location with a nice bar and restaurant within a very short walk

Wonderful stay with my dog. Lovely walks nearby and the air bnb its self was really relaxing and really well furnished. Loved my stay, thank you.

A great location for relaxed few days away. Spotlessly clean (especially for an animal friendly accommodation). Decor beautiful. Would definitely recommend and will return.

House was well presented and nice decorated although a little tired. Good location for site seeing and dog walking.

Beautiful cottage but they charge additional non refundable deposit on top of the price you see here Positive: Beautiful cottage, lovely location, free parking, pet friendly. Nice and quiet neighbourhood, next to a small shop for anything you need to buy. Comfy beds, high quality furniture and blankets. Negative: There's additional non refundable deposits on top of what you see in the price here and they don't give you the code to the lockbox to enter the property until you pay it, even though we paid the fee for staying all the nights in full alreayd so they had full payment but still withheld the keys. You need to pay either £25 non refundable or pay £250 and they charge you a £10 admin fee to manage it, so you basically pay £10-25 non refundable. We didn't realise this until a few hours before arriving and then they took a lot of chasing after we paid it to give us the code to the lockbox for the property keys. There was also only 1 toilet paper and we ran out, quite ungenerous for a such a cheap thing.

A great cottage in a wonderful location Positive: The cottage was in a great location a short walk to the local shop and pub which served gorgeous food and was friendly and welcoming. Also close to otterburn mill where we had a lovely lunch. Negative: We took our dogs and the garden although enclosed was separate to the house but this was easily overcome.

A very clean and well equipped property but adjacent to busy main road Positive: Very clean and well presented . Very well equipped. Negative: Close to a busy main road and stairs to bedrooms very steep for young children.

Positive: Houses together great for the family group. Wood burner. Heating Convenience store close by. Gardens. (Pity about the weather) Negative: No condiments. Washing still in machine in no.7.

We had a lovely relaxing family weekend at Percy Cottage The cottage was pristine and had everything you need for a relaxing getaway Loved the log fire Everything about it was perfect Will definitely return

Small village cottage in quiet location (no big shops nearby) Positive: Good location to wedding venues and nice quiet village in middle of nowhere Negative: The shower is hard to get the right temperature and not enough hot water for 4 people, boiler had a over heat warning and property owners not willing to help just said wait an hour ending up fixing it our self’s (reset boiler warning)

Great cosy cottage for a February weekend. Location is in walking distance to the pub, shop and cafe. A few downsides however, the cottage has very steep stairs, some items in the kitchen were not cleaned from previous occupants and it is next to a loud road although it isn't overly busy with traffic. We were dissapointed that the heating had been switched off for our arrival, the temperature was only 10 degrees and with a 5 month old baby this was unacceptable, it took until late on the first evening to get back to a reasonable temperature. Communication with the host on this issue was poor.

Nice and peaceful relaxing break over the new year very quiet just how we like it Positive: Very clean and comfortable, and spacious and relaxing Negative: There wasn’t anything that we didn’t like

Positive: We visited Percy Cottage over New Year and as expected, Otterburn was chilly! Despite this, the property was warm, cosy and homely throughout our stay, even without us using the Log fire. The kitchen was well appointed and the property as a whole was very well maintained - it really gave us a feel of a home away from home. Directions for checking in and out were very clear - parking is available for a car behind the property. I would recommend the Otterburn Village Trail, starting at the Otterburn Mill, to anyone interested in a steady walk - although wear suitable footwear for mud if there has been rain. During our stay we visited the William De Percy in the Village and The Redesdale Arms which was 5-10 minutes drive away, both for food and drinks. Would recommend The Redesdale Arms - the staff were welcoming, the food was good, prices were reasonable and the view was fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay - thank you!

We booked Percy Cottage last minute as we decided to get away over New Year. We travelled with our two children and from the moment we walked through the door we felt at home. The decor is fab and we loved the property’s quirkiness. It’s a bit far out from the places we usually like to visit but the drives are always scenic - it’s not like encountering the M62 to be able to get out for the day! We’ll definitely return to Percy Cottage.

What a beautiful property! The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to make a full Christmas dinner (they even provided the Christmas tree), the log burner was brilliant after a rainy walk locally and overall just a lovely place. My 2 things I would just note: the stairs in the property are pretty steep if you are travelling with children or have mobility issues and there is no flexibility with regafamily to check in due to their cleaning schedule so make sure you leave a little later or have a table booked at William de Percy across the road until you can get in at 4pm. Overall though fantastic little property and would definitely stay again!

Positive: Lovely place, and very comfortable Excellent facilities with a well equipped kitchen. Lots of wood in the coal shed for the fire which was nice. Short drive to Kielder Forest which was the purpose of our visit. Would definitely stay again. Negative: A couple of small things which are by no means game charngers. The, shower screen is a little short so a little water can get onto the bathroom floor. There was a coffee machine which was a lovely extra but the supplied pods didn't fit. Again nothing to upset your stay though.

Thanks for a great stay. Would recommend the mill for a cuppa and William de Percy for an evening meal. Nice circular walk around otterburn from the property..

We loved our stay at Percy Cottage! Decor was absolutely beautiful, warm & welcoming, easy to relax & switch off, bed was really comfy & we both had a good night's sleep, log burning fire was perfect especially as it was snowing when we were there! Overall we & our doggos loved our stay & would highly recommend it!

Very disappointing compared to our last stay. Negative: We stayed at the property roughly 18/19 months ago and It was fantastic. However since that time the property has clearly suffered a lot of wear and tear. The changing room was dusty. Toilet door handle kept getting jammed and you had to have someone come open it from the front. The toilet handle (flushing) keeps getting jammed. Just run down items such as the kitchen door. Sheets were dirty and The one that is the biggest issue though is the hole in the floor in the bedroom on the first night my partner tripped on this and has actually suffered a pretty bad bruise to her foot.

Amazing place would highly recommend, shame we never got to use the log fire 😢 Positive: Amazing location very peaceful and relaxing just what we needed Negative: Shower was a bit of an issue for two tall guys, needs a larger shower screen.

I booked this accommodation for 2 colleagues working in the area as the location was perfect. All communication was excellent and the accommodation too providing all the home comforts needed when working away from home.

This cottage was full of character and very cosy. It was an ideal position for our intended trips in the area. The furniture and beds were all comfortable and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Ok for a few days Positive: Location good. Well stocked cottage Negative: Felt it was a bit overpriced pillows very hard (personal choice though)

Would have liked an earlier check in and or a later check out 6 hours difference is a lot of time to prep a property , ie leave by 10 am but cant check into 4 pm ,, not ideal. Shower riser rail was locked at a height which was way to low which meant had to point shower head out rather rather than down , fortunately found handle in a cupboard and was able to adjust , however still nade water overspray on bathroom floor as bath shower screen to short …. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay in a very high standard accommodation 9.9 out of 10

Positive: Everything was absolutely perfect, just a few minutes walk away from the le petite chateau where we attended a wedding. The cottage was absolutely beautiful, had everything we needed ❤️ will definitely be back ❤️ Negative: Wasn't anything to not like

Percy Cottage Positive: Beautiful cottage, fabulous decor and location. Negative: Very steep stairs.

Positive: Lovley village Negative: Was not very clean very dusty. We parked in parking spot and got aload of abuse off the neighbour

10/10, would stay again Positive: Gorgeously presented, had everything we needed. The log fire was especially wonderful! Negative: Nothing

Beautiful house in a lovely location, spotless inside, very handy shop and pub few minutes walk.

House was desperately in need of a good clean and was very tired. Mouse droppings found in the living areas, dirty floors and crockery. The bathroom was filthy, grout in the tiles looks orange due to the build up of mould and mildew. Huge cobwebs everywhere. Noise from the heating kept us awake. Such a shame as the cottage is in a lovely location and could be lovely with a some tlc

very happy with the location and cost of air bubbles. would use again.

Bring your own fire lighters and toilet paper (one role for four people over a weekend)

Great few days away. Lots of space and clean

Although the property is on a main road there was very little disturbance The property is beautiful, u would certainly recommend a stay here

Clean accommodation in pleasant surroundings with comfortable sofas comfortable, king-size beds and good quality bed linen and towels. I appreciated return of an item I'd forgotten. Garden and furniture was not to standard shown in listing photo which was disappointing but,overall,we enjoyed our stay.Indoor provision was good.

Beautiful home, clean, comfortable, and the interior design was amazing.

Comfortable stay Positive: Very well designed and laid out. Negative: There were a lot of cobwebs in the corners of most rooms and dust around some ornaments, the kitchen bin was far too small and the cooker needed a deep clean as it started to smoke when we turned it on.

Lovely place to stay, beautiful decor inside, would recommend

Negative: On request for early check in I was sent an email with charges which would have been well above the hourly rate of the whole property rental. not in the spirit of cottage rental and un personal. while I appreciate this is operating as a business there is no reason for these charges as there was no apparent urgent turnover required bathroom had a very strong chemical smell, and steep stairs has slippery surface which was dangerous.

Great accommodation and fantastic decor. Good location for getting around Northumberland. Only concern was the main road outside, other than that spot on.

Excellent service, prompt response from team and very clean Positive: Well equipped and beautifully decorated. Some small maintenance issues reported and a very prompt response from the team. Negative: The boiler was sometimes noisy, the shower door was missing the seal so water went everywhere. A face towel in addition to the body towel would have been appreciated

Nice enough. Clean and comfortable. In a busy main road. There are other nicer and cheaper hotels nearby but I booked in a rush so didn’t have time to do much research. Found the communications bizarre and difficult. Received multiple phone calls offering and early check in offer for a fee! Never had that before. Makes sense why they are so insistent that you checkout at 10am Sharp and can’t check in until 4pm. Communication whilst at properties slow and not helpful. Coffee machine didn’t work which they ignored and didn’t respond to request for it to be fixed. Shower door on bath not fitted properly so bathroom floor soaked every time it was used. Please note this is for Percy Cottage because I believe the reviews are amalgamated for multiple venues under the same host, which is not very good for prospective guests trying to ascertain if the property is good or not. Personally I would not stay again if visiting the area. But it did the job.

Lovely property, very cosy and comfortable and in an extremely peaceful spot. We had a lovely stay thank you so much.

Thanks for hosting!! Hope to use you again in the future!

Great house in a good location. With easy access to much of Northumberland. House was just as described with easy parking round the back. Shop and a fabulous bar/ restaurant within walking distance. Would stay again for sure but could do with some extra attention to cleaning.. some cups and glasses needed washing and some skirting boards a little grubby. Other than that I would recommend.

We had a lovely weekend in Percy Cottage - really peaceful and relaxing. Will be back in future!

Great host, lovely place and would use again!

Positive: Location was great Negative: Frying pan requires changed. Shower screens bottom hinge needs sorting. Second bedroom door catch not working. Cooker grill was dirty and there was no cleaning sponge to use. Landing light kept turning itself off. All in all the house was very comfortable and and we would recommend it to anyone. Most of what we have mentioned was trivial to us but we thought we should tell you.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country, would highly recommend!

Perfect little getaway. I would suggest taking more toilet paper with you and maybe some kitchen roll. Other than that i Positive: Lovely cottage with pretty much everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nicely located for a visit to Kelder Forest and Lake. Very spacious and within walking distance to a Premier shop to get any essentials you may need. Negative: There was nothing I didn’t like about this property.

lovely property, clean and tidy, easy access, car parking availabl

We spent a lovely few days here. Percy Cottage is beautifully decorated and very cosy. The wood burner was a real plus. The surrounding countryside is spectacular. We went to Kielder Dam and Hadrian’s Wall, driving through wonderful scenery.

Positive: No expense had been spared on decorating and furniture. Negative: They was plenty of wood and coal for the fire but no matches.so by the time it got cold and we wanted to put the fire on and discovered no matches the local shop was shut

We really enjoyed the location, easy walk to a really nice pub, and great for exploring Northumberland. In hindsight probably better for adults for a short break rather than a family holiday. This accommodation is managed by a company and not owners, just something to bear in mind - lots of messages about ‘if something is broken’ and checking out on time.

Lovely location Lovely location & nice house. Would stay again.

Positive: Within walking distance to pub and shop. Negative: We had to clean the garden furniture before we could use it. Bathroom door catch was sticking. No catches on bedroom doors. The booking confirmation stated 'A damage deposit of GBP 250 is required. The host charges this 14 days before arrival. This will be collected by credit card. You should be reimbursed within 14 days of check-out. Your deposit will be refunded in full via credit card, subject to an inspection of the property' However we were obliged to pay £300 prior to our stay and have been advised that only £290 will be refunded within 14 days. Surely property owners should have their own insurance.

Nice area . Lovely decor ideas but looking tired needs freshening up. Positive: Loved the vintage sofa company vibe , dark and moody Negative: The walls could do with fresh coats of paint and the door into the kitchen had by the look of it scratched to bits by a dog. Bath panel was sticking out showing a dirty slick on the top.

Enjoyable

Fantastic Positive: Decorated and furnished to a high standard. Great location for us

We really enjoyed our stay as the cottage exceeded our expectations. Beds are very comfortable with spotless linen. Would definitely recommend.

Positive: Great location and well presented house Negative: Minor quirks like having to pay insurance the day before the trip and not being told about this during booking. Simple touches like milk, coffee pods, matches, paper to light fire. Otherwise top marks

Would recommend for future. Positive: Lovely comfortable place to stay . Warm and cosy . Every thing we needed. Negative: N/A

Cosy cottage with beautiful surroundings Positive: Beautiful cosy cottage the attention to detail with a beautiful mix of soft furnishings was amazing. Lovely warm log burner made it a wonderful place to stay. Would highly recommend 👌 Negative: It was simply perfect couldn't fault it.

So comfortable and cosy. I would definitely stay again. 100% recommended Positive: The house itself, the fact that we had parking facilities. The cleanness

Beautiful stone cottage, very well presented. Well equipped kitchen and clean

It was good and as expected. Negative: Better lighting in smaller bedroom.
