Old Mill Branton Reviews

Alexis
We had a very comfortable stay and had everything we required to prepare our meals etc. Lovely location and really good to have access to the little games area which we enjoyed, especially our 12 year old son. Great having access to the swimming pool area too. It was a good location to explore this beautiful part of the country, a return visit to the area. Overall a lovely break in a very nice cottage.
Hannah
Really lovely stay at this property. Useful to be able to use the nearby pool and games room for children. DVDs, and kid books available. Generally quiet, although the family above in (we are in the ground level accommodation) who were lovely enough had children running up and down upstairs at around 6am in the morning and the washing machine could be heard around 7am, but its really luck of the draw. Would be happy to stay here again.
Joanne
Good value for money, although we felt the decor could be refreshed. Complex was great for our family, quiet yet lots of facilities.
Richard
This is a lovely cottage with access to fantastic facilities including swimming pool and tennis court.
Warren
Overall very good.
Laura
This is a lovely cottage on an amazing site. The cottage is comfortable and has all the amenities you need for a week away, although it could definitely do with a spruce up in places. The site itself was perfect for our family. The facilities were second to none and kept us all entertained! The swimming pool and spa were just perfect. I would highly recommend the site for a break away, although we would probably book a different cottage in the future.
Pauline
We had an amazing break, very chilled , just what we needed, the cottage was well equipped , cosy and very comfortable, with the added benefit of a swimming pool and a games room, which bought out the competitiveness of our teenager daughter and my husband â??snooker warsâ?, Zak the Labrador loved the walks . We will be back
Martyn

This is a really cosy and comfortable cottage that our family of four has now been to twice. The on-site facilities are excellent and the cottage has everything we need for a week away from home. It's a perfect base for exploring Northumberland.
