Emily

The property, location and wider Estate grounds are fantastic, perfect for us as a couple and our cocker spaniel Hamish. The view from the large window in the kitchen/dining area has been great also, at all times of the day, very peaceful. Thanks also to Willy for giving us a 'wee' tour of the amazing gardens and for the vegetable and fruit box later that day - all delicious! The circular walk out by the Lake and back through the Hall gardens was ideal for our evening walk with Hamish before settling down for the night. Thanks again and hope to return at some point in the future.

Tom & Catherine - October 2025

What a wonderful week we've had staying in this lovely cottage! Comfy, cosy and peaceful. We enjoyed trips out to Corbridge, Allen Banks and Staward Gorge, Alnwick - Barter Books, Northumberland Zoo, Druridge Bay... and restorative evenings by the fire or in the luxurious tub with a bath bomb and a glass of bubbly! Thanks again Capheaton! We hope to come back soon.....

2nd visit. The cottage is still lovely and very comfortable. We were really lucky with the weather which was just the icing on the cake! Thank you.

Laura, Rob & Izzy - April 2025

Our 5th return visit having just one more option to try. Have loved all of our stays in Alice, Emily, Edward and School House. This trip we visited Embleton beach - gorgeous and a trip to the Ship Inn is worth it, lovely lunch. Only a 15 minute drive from Capheaton is The Beresford Arms - lovely food and staff, definitely worth a trip too. Corbridge has a lovely vibe and a quirky home shop hidden behind a petrol station - RE - again, worth a trip. We find new and lovely places each time we visit, but especially love the tranquillity of this lovely place. Thank you Louise for your care and consideration with our bookings. Hope to return soon.

Emily cottage is of an unusually high standard. It is extremely spacious and comfortable. The under floor heating keeps it pleasantly warm with the added bonus of a wood burning stove for chilly evenings. Capheaton is in beautiful countryside with plenty of things to do. Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay in Emily. We found it warm, comfortable and well equipped. We appreciated the spacious design and the large comfy bed - something rare in one bedroom cottages.

PB – October 2022

Stunning luxurious cottage, beautiful views and walks. Everything tastefully and thoughtfully thought through giving guests a wonderful holiday. Can’t recommend highly enough . Will definitely return. We absolutely loved everything about our stay at Emily. The cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished. Loved the mix of old and new and a few family items. The books were a lovely touch and we read several and left one of ours behind for future guests. The views are stunning and the walk through the woods to the lake just lovely. Every little thing has been thought out to make guests feel at home. And luxurious finishing touches. Our little dog especially appreciated the dog biscuits, and the other little touches for the dog made us feel that she was very welcome. Gorgeous home, wonderful setting and we hope to come back Thank you

We stayed here over Christmas, and I say this without hyperbole - we had the best Christmas ever.

MG - June 2021

The Lakeside Cottages at Capheaton must be among the most wonderful and amazing places to stay in the UK. The cottages with their vaulted ceilings and very high quality furnishings and fittings were well beyond the normal holiday homes. If you are looking for tranquillity, beautiful sunsets, fabulous landscapes and excellent internet speeds then this is the place to visit. I just hope that there will still be availability for our next visit!

MW - May/June 2021

Expect a wonderful stay. The view from the dining area is stunning, get up at dawn! Highly recommend. So many Halls, including Capheaton, castles and beautiful gardens to visit in the area.

Name and address supplied - May 2021

We very much enjoyed our stay in this delightful cottage set in such a beautiful setting. The location meant we were in hitting distance of both the coast and Kielder Forest, so plenty to keep busy with. On arrival it was really nice to find a bottle of fizz and also some treats for the dogs. We would highly recommend this cottage to friends and family.

BW - May 2021

By far the best cottage I've been in England, or maybe even Airbnb. Exceeded expectations on everything, we were welcomed with a clean and tidy house, with all amenities in place, and a bottle of Prosecco. Location is amazing, far from everything, definitely a place I would love to come back to.

AB - April/May 2021

Exactly how it is in the photos and even more homely when you are there. Really detailed guest information file when you get there and lovely bottle of Prosecco as a treat in the fridge. Perfect stay!

JH - April 2021
