The Owl's Rest Reviews

Arthur
This was our 2nd stay at owls rest,a very relaxing 3 days in a gorgeous cottage,didnt meet the owners this time but there if we needed them,it is such a cozy cottage. Fantastic views from the hot tub.we will be returning.thank you susan and james.
What a hidden gem. We had a wonderful stay at Owls Rest and was also lucky enough to spot one of the Barn Owls whilst relaxing in the hot tub one evening. Weather wasn't the best but being able to come back to such a comfortable place to stay made it bearable. The hot tub was also a real bonus and we used it every evening. I would highly recommend Owl's Rest, you won't be disappointed.
Charlotte
The hosts and the accommodation were both fantastic. Great facilities, clean, homely and location was stunning. Id definitely stay again!
Bridget
I would highly recommend this cottage so comfortable and quite the perfect getaway. We spent Christmas here and the owners made the cottage all Christmassy they really decorated it very tastefully I couldnt be happier thank you
A warm welcome from Susan and James, very accommodating. Lovely, cosy cottage. Had a great time and will definitely be back
Lovely relaxing place, clean and comfy and everything you need for a few daysweek away. Would love to come back especially as its just over an hour and a half travel for me and was easy to get to and find
Wow! This cottage is magical. If you are looking for peace and tranquility then this is the place to stay. Attention to detail was magnificent and it was like home from home. The owners were so attentitive but at the same time were mindful that we were on holiday and didnt want to be intrusive. We have already ranted and raved to friends and family and have no doubt that we will return in the future. Well done Susan and James on your beautiful hidden gem. Thank you. Paula & Dave
We stayed at The Owls Rest for 4 nights . Susan and James are excellent hosts and could not be better . The Owls Rest its self is perfect . Clean peaceful tranquil and has everything you could possibly need . The hot tub and the views just add to the already excellent experience and the views . I would definitely recommend you try it . We do hope to go again at some point in thd future .
Arthur
We stayed for 3 nights from oct 3rd,had a very relaxing time in a gorgeous cottage,lovely quiet surroundings,a very comfy bed for good nights sleep. Fantastic views from the hot tub.the owners are a very friendly couple,allways there if needed.we will be returning.
Stewart
From driving into the parking the grounds were immaculate, and the views were amazing. The property itself was tastefully decorated and incorporated everything you would need for a comfortable stay. If you like a secluded quiet, comfy stay, with great scenery this is the place for you.
Beautiful cottage with great views and landscaped garden. Very comfortable accommodation and all you need for a great stay. Great base for exploring local castles and historical houses and the wonderful coast. As an open water swimmer I had loads of choice for swims but can highly recommend Bamburgh beach, Druridge Bay and Cresswell, plus further north Yellowcraig, Chesil and Seacliff. Chillingham Castle, Cragside fantastic.
Michelle
We greatly enjoyed our stay at The Owl's Rest. The accomodation contained everything we needed and the outside space was delightful. The location was very quiet so a fantastic place to switch off and escape. We just wish we could have stayed longer!
Matthew
Had such a lovely time at this cottage. It was exactly what we were looking for. The guide the owners provided prior to arriving gave us the advanced warning to local facilities roughly 10mins in car and very accurate description on how to get there as sat nav in the car didnt find the property initially. Hot tub was amazing. So peaceful. Loved looking out for the owls and adding to the wildlife journal. If you are up for it there are books in the cottage which provide some local information on sites for walks but for us it was purely about relaxation. Owners kept in touch to make sure we didnt need hot tub water topped up. And the cittage itself is so well equipped that you have washing machine and tumbled dryer to help avoid the mounting of washing on the return home.
Beautiful, quiet peaceful spot, the cottage has everything you need and is in immaculate order. The hot tub was relaxing, and from there we saw buzzards, and the resident owl hunting
