    This accommodation, the River Cottage, was a haven of peace, comfort, a sanctuary and a home away from home. It was a compact but beautifully set up, tucked next to a little river, trees and wildlife outside, and cosy, practical and pleasant...

    Cosy, artistic, great use of space. Beautifully equipped. Next to a burn/ stream which was so relaxing. Village pub 5 minutes walk away does good food, including excellent Thai, and is very welcoming

    The outside space was incredible- I stayed here solo with my children, but would love to come back here adults only. The fire pit and bar over looking the stream was so tranquil. And the personal touches inside made the stay all the more special....

    There was nothing to not like, the accommodation was nothing short of perfect, the location was stunning and all the little extras were just icing on an already beautiful cake. In pictures it looks quite small but in reality it's the perfect size...

    Everything was perfect! Great location, very peaceful and quiet but very easy to explore from with lots of places of interest close by. The train station in the village was handy too if we didn't want to use the car. The cottage was warm, cosy,...

River Cottage at Old Post Office is just 2 miles from Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site in Northumberland. A First Class Holiday Cottage, River Cottage is a bright, quirky and completely self-contained self-catering space. Up to four people can stay in this cottage with private entrance. River Cottage was completely redesigned and refurbished in early 2021. We are pet friendly, you can stay from just two nights and we deep-clean obsessively between our guests visiting.
We’re a warm, friendly, quality-driven and adventurous family that have worked hard to build and lead a number of award winning businesses over 20 years. Turning self-contained parts of our home into memorable, genuinely interesting and indulgent spaces for our guests to escape to is now a big part of who we are as people. It is a passion. We understand that downtime is the most important time of anyone’s life. That's why, at Old Post Office Northumberland, we work so hard to make the downtime spent with us so very, very special. Arrival and Departure. River Cottage is ready from 3pm on your day of arrival. Early access may be available – please ask. Luggage drop-off is available from 10am on your day of arrival. Mychael and/or Lisa will greet you when you arrive. Or if you’ve arranged to do so, you can access your key from the key safe by your private entrance. You can speak to Mychael or Lisa whenever you like and wherever we are, by ringing the Old Post Office Main Building's front door ‘Video Bell’.
