Overall was ok for what we required for two days. Found the mattresses uncomfortable and the shower needed fixing as the shower head slipped right down, it only had masking tape or something round it. Nowhere to let your dog roam around as a pathway was straight outside the door. Could have made the grass area opposite which belonged to the cottages secure. Grubby bedding as we stripped the beds as we left to see stained pillows and grotty duvets. No signal at all for mobiles so you would of thought WiFi in this day and age would be available in case there was an emergency. Good though that fresh milk and tea coffee where left and the Pub across the road served really nice food.

Beautiful cottage, prime location, peaceful and value for money.

The cottage was first class. Kitchen well equiped with washer dryer and dishwasher all neatly enclosed in units. The lounge area had 2 large comfortable settees and a large t v . We did not need to use the wood burning stove but the electric heaters were efficient. The large double bedrooms were light and airy. Overall a modern comfortable cottage with adequqte parking.

Had a really enjoyable stay at the college. Otterburn is a lively village with really friendly people.

Excellent barn conversion, in a lovely village close to amenities and countryside.

Fab cottage! Only issue was no hot water when we got there despite following the advice to switch on and wait 30-40 minutes. We then had ongoing issues with hot water and the shower varying in heat and speed.

Oak Tree Barn is one of three attached cottages in Otterburn. It is beautifully clean and well appointed will all the facilities, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave etc. It is advertised as dog friendly as up to two pets are allowed. What is not clear, in my opinion, is that the "garden area" which is advertised in the details, is neither attached to the house, nor enclosed or safe for dogs. We have a Guide Dog, and a pet dog. Under Guide Dog rules, she cannot be let off her lead in an insecure area. The garden is away from the house, across a public footpath and car parking area, without fencing or gate. This made morning spending routine difficult as we needed to be up and dressed to take her out. The garden area is open to the busy main road less than 20 yards away. Owners with dogs need to be aware, that whilst the property allows dogs, it is not, in my opinion, particularly safe for dogs. It is a great location for touring, and whilst the property is not sound proofed, and is therefore noisy internally, it was clean and comfortable. Logs for the wood burner would be a significant improvement. We left logs and fire lighters for the next occupiers!

WiFi would be a welcome addition but otherwise a great place to stay to explore Northumbria
