Red Hen Cottage in Acklington Reviews

Verified Customer Review
6th August 2025
We had a fantastic break at Red Hen cottage. Decorated beautifully and a comfortable stay. Loved the hot tub! It was very peaceful and the perfect place for our friends reunion. The double room was a bit of a squeeze to get round the side of the bed and a BBQ would have been great but otherwise perfect. Would happily stay again!

We had an amazing time at Red Hen Cottage. Lovely accommodation, very clean. Loved the welcome packs for us and the dogs. Gorgeous outside space with hot tub was great. Will definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommended
