Cottage in Rothbury
Most enjoyable. Lovely cottage and very quiet to say its just off the main street.
Lots to do close at hand and coast not too far away.
Great Place to stay
Great quiet accommodation in the centre of town close to everything. Cottage was very comfortable and clean with top range amenities. Lots of walks nearby and a fascinating area to explore with its ruins and castles. Check out Edlingham and Brinkburn Priory. Thanks Peter and Sue. John and Dianne from Oz.
Just Perfect !
We had a wonderful time staying at Conway Cottage, it was just
perfect. So clean and welcoming on our arrival and the red wine was
much appreciated, what a lovely gesture !
Went to Alnwick, Holy Island, Bamburgh, Craster and saw other castles, beaches, some walks by the river, a few drinks in the Turks and an excellent meal in the Queens. Rothbury is a great location !
Thank you for allowing us the use of your lovely cottage.
Take care

lovely cottage
We have been holidaying in Conway Cottage for about 6 years now and have had a wonderful break each time.We are usually in Rothbury in the Autumn and I can recommend this time of year in this cosy cottage with its open fire and comfy lounge.This cottage is well maintained and always very clean .The owners Sue and Peter are always very helpful and seem to be very proud of this cottage and keep it to a very high standard.Looking forward to our next break very soon
A lovely cottage
The location of Conway Cottage was perfect for us.Quietly tucked away in a courtyard behind the High Street. It is comfortable, secure, clean, well maintained and very well equipped. I was in contact with the owners by phone and e-mail and they are friendly and helpful, even sending us extra information.
The cottage is so very convenient for shopping, cafés, pubs & restaurants. The restaurant in the Queens Head was our favourite.The Sun café was also a favourite, they make the best scones, especially with strawberry jam and clotted cream.
We had long lovely walks along the river and in town. We drove over the moors, through several villages in the area and of course visited Cragside, Alnwick and Morpeth. Rothbury is lovely, friendly and comfortable, just like the cottage.
