Warm, clean, quiet spot that was pet friendly so the whole family could escape for a couple of days. We enjoyed the homemade chutney.

The cottage is simply delightful. We had chosen it for our 'let's take the dogs' break. The cottage was bright and airy, and spotlessly clean. Perfect sleeping room for the dogs in the laundry. Just 10 minutes from Cheviot, and close to beaches and lovely walks. Lesley our host was lovely to deal with, nothing too much trouble. FABULOUS!

Peaceful Country Retreat

I recently stayed at Spotswood Country Cottage and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The cottage is warm, cosy, and beautifully decorated, with a welcoming feel throughout. It was exceptionally clean and well-equipped, with all the essentials provided for a comfortable stay.Communication with Lesley, the owner, was excellent from start to finish. She was friendly, responsive, and made everything easy — from booking to check-in. It was clear she genuinely cares about her guests’ comfort and experience.A peaceful and relaxing spot — highly recommended.
