Children at Lake Cottage  

Accommodation is all one one floor and children will love the gardens and the surrounding woodland with opportunities to spot wildlife and run around. A toy box, games and dressing box will keep junior guests entertained indoors. A cot and highchair are available on request. The garden has been designed with little ones in mind and the double swings, Wendy house and sand pit will be a big hit with them (you might have trouble getting them out of the garden!)

Guest comments

'the accommodation and environs of The Hall and Lake Cottage........just perfect: actually 'magical' would be an even better word to use! Thank you for your hard work and we would like to thank June and Brian for the use of their wonderful home'

'a lovely place to stay. Quiet and restful'

'Thanks for a lovely holiday in Northumberland. The cottage was great and the kids felt lilke it was a home from home which is a high accolade indeed! Also helped that the weather was kind'

'Just a quick note to say thanks for facilitating our lovely break in Lake Cottage. We had a fabulous time! The cottage was toasty warm and our desert baby was very cosy so we had nothing to worry about. The cottage is very pretty - immaculate while still retaining a homely, relaxed feel. June and Brian are a pleasure to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. A peaceful family pre-christmas break was had by all three of us. We will definitely return! '
