Strathview

The house was perfect. Very comfy beds. With a stunning view. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the terrace looking over the valley. Thank you.

Lovely property with a great view, perfect for the 4 of us.

A lovely property in a great location for Hadrian's Wall. Very homely feel with good kitchen facilities. Clean and quiet. Amazing view from the garden. Good space on driveway.<br/><br/>Would have liked the option to pay the deposit as part of the original payment. You have to pay a follow up non-refundable £40 or refundable £350 after booking to access the property. Could also offer a slightly later checkout.

Loved the views, space inside and out was great for family group, rooms well proportioned.<br/><br/>No glass recycling, might be good to facilitate this in keeping with the eco nature of the property.

Lovely house with panoramic views of the beautiful Northumberland countryside from the back of the property. Nice decking area and our grandson loved playing football in the back garden, but beware the overgrown area beyond if the ball goes over! We liked the furnishings and the downstairs toilet was a bonus for those with bad knees. Good space on driveway for 2 cars and there was a key to the garage but we didn't use it. Haydon Bridge is a nice village, the house is up a hill, the Co-op is down the hill but you can park on the road. Good location for Hexham, the Roman forts of Housesteads and Vindolanda, Hadrian's Wall and what was Sycamore Gap. We had a great week at this house and didn't want to leave.<br/><br/>There are steps down to the front door and 3 steps from the dining room to the sitting room and kitchen. I don't remember this being mentioned in the details and it's relevant for anyone with mobility problems. The beds were lovely but the mattresses a little firm for our liking. We couldn't find instructions for the oven - it stopped working at one point, but we switched it off at the socket (low down at back) and on again and it was fine. You have to take all glass recycling to the bottle bank which we found hard to find - it's just out of the village, no signage, and through a gap in a metal fence, not easy to spot.

The location was good for our visit to the Balloon Festival in Corbridge .The train station is just at the bottom of the road. Great location for Hexham, Corbridge and Hadrians Wall. The views are amazing and the linen clean.The layout of the house was perfect for the size of our family for the weekend.<br/><br/>First impressions were that the house hadn’t been used for a while and needed freshening up. We had to wipe everywhere down with disinfectant. Once that was done it was fine for us (We had a baby with us). Also a few plants in the tubs outside would be good.

We were refused the access code on arrival and never actually receive it. <br/>The Host & Stay Co provider insisted we pay insurance in order to receive the code. This was not in their terms & conditions.<br/><br/>No access code provided <br/>Bin x 1 were not clean <br/>No coffee plunger

Great place for group stay. The kitchen could be slightly better equipped.

Great location and views.<br/><br/>Temperature control in main bathroom shower didn't work meaning shower was too hot to use.

house was clean and well appointed, the garden furniture was a bonus and the views exceptional<br/><br/>this lovely property was let down by the following: one of the beds has a large sag/dent in the mattress. the water temperature in the showers was much too hot, yes, we know how to use shower mixer taps but that didn’t help. we contacted the hosts who said they would get back to us but didn’t bother. host and stay were not easy to deal with, they contacted us 4 times to confirm our stay, 3 of the contacts were after we had already confirmed and phoned after each email. not very impressive.

Beautiful location, outstanding views, lovely village with Co-op, pharmacy, coffee shop, pubs. The village is Haydon Bridge and has its own railway station. The Railway Hotel and Bistro was particularly lovely for a meal, friendly staff and delicious food (fantastic for gluten free also). The house was spacious, light, bright and airy. Great living / dining area for us all to hang out. Could log in to Netflix on the TV. Well equipped kitchen in general.<br/><br/>Misunderstanding by Host & Stay re terms of the booking - they eventually honoured the terms booked after I showed the terms provided to me from Booking.com. <br/>£250 deposit with 3rd party - they took money from my card 2 weeks in advance of stay and held on to it for almost 2 weeks after my visit. I fed this back to Host & Stay as I am not sure if this is standard or something just went wrong on this occasion. This privilege also cost me £10 admin fee, undisclosed at point of booking. There was also confusion around this process with the wrong links being sent to sort deposit, then the onus being on me initially to contact the 3rd party to sort this out. And multiple threats of cancellation if I didn’t pay the deposit, even after I’d done it. It all got sorted, but was quite stressful feeling like I was going to wreck our family holiday!!!<br/>Broken toaster - quite annoying having to hold the lever down to make a bit of toast, and I note mentioned in previous reviews and not fixed.<br/>The house itself is beautiful, but the booking process has room for improvement.

Super house

Excellent property for a large family or group of friends. Good sized rooms. Great location for exploring Northumberland, Hadrian's Wall etc. Large garden for the kids to let off steam with lovely views across the valley.<br/><br/>Whilst the property itself suited our needs there were a number of issues that took the shine off our stay. We reported a number of faults which on a more detailed look at previous reviews seem to have been outstanding for some months. They included - toaster not working properly, no small kitchen knives, no proper chopping board, only 2 teaspoons, lack of basic kitchen supplies - hand towel, black bin bags, washing up cloth, washing up liquid. <br/>Host & Stay the managing agents were great at communicating but very poor at taking any action. They promised to drop in more teaspoons and kitchen supplies but nothing ever arrived. <br/>One of the sinks in the upstairs bathroom was blocked on our arrival. Upon investigation the plughole was full of hair and muck. Obviously it had not been cleaned properly prior to our arrival. <br/>For the money we paid for our stay, I would not have expected to have the issues that we did and would also question why they have been left outstanding for so long.

Great accommodation

Spacious and perfect to our needs.

Great accommodation, clean & tidy with a great view from the rear decking. Apmle parking and even a secure garage was available.

One half of toaster didn't work and drawer under the oven hadn't been cleaned also no instructions as to how to use it hob or the oven it was trial and error at first. no mop for the floors it would have been helpful

Lovely large comfortable house,ideally situated for exploring the area . A good outside grassed area for children to play and a decked area for sitting outside. The house is sited in an elevated position giving good views over the valley.There we’re five adults and two children in our party and we all enjoyed our stay.

Perfect for a large family or group of friends. Amazing views. Well equipped. Lovely and clean. Very comfortable.

Une très jolie maison bien au calme avec une vue splendide !

We loved the view, the space, the beds were very comfortable and the showers were lovely.<br/><br/>Some of the kitchen equipment and fixtures and fittings need updating such as the clothes hanger in the utility room, coat stand was broken (had been connected back together and upon hanging our coats on it, it broke), the brush handle comes off, broken scissors, lack of chopping board, no small kitchen knives.

Fantastic property, we really enjoyed our stay. The house is immaculately maintained and well-equipped for visitors. We loved all aspects of the property, but I guess the only slight criticism is the higher than average cleaning costs, when compared to other properties, although this wouldn't be enough to put us off a return visit in the future.

house and surrounding area was great.Perfect for a stay with friends/family in Northumberland.

Beautiful home with panoramic views over the Tyne valley . Highly recommend !

We had a fantastic stay. The house was perfect and everything worked beautifully.

lovely views from a well equipped house. clean and tidy easy to find and good parking facilities.<br/><br/>was only advised on bin pick up days in the final email by which time the actual day had passed.

Great stay fantastic lay out for two families or one big one, great location really easy to get out and explore Northumberland.

Really practical house in a great location

Factastic house with superb view across the valley.<br/>Everything was as advertised and the house was clean and tidy.<br/>Would highly recommend.

A lovely clean property in a commanding position overlooking the stunning Tyne valley and the village.

Fantastic property, big and modern with everything you need, including a great garden and deck for relaxing. Great location for exploring the area, including Hadrian's Wall in close proximity.

The house and location are both beautiful.<br/>We had a lovely two week stay this August.<br/>We are a family of five with three teenagers. There’s lots of space for everyone!<br/>The view from the back of the house is amazing. We enjoyed having coffee out on the decking in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening after a long days hike while watching the sun set. <br/>We enjoyed a day of heavy rain where we spent the day reading looking out at the view, this I found very relaxing. We enjoyed watching farmers on a few occasions herding their sheep from field to field. <br/>We enjoyed going to the local pub The Railway Inn Hotel which is at the bottom of the hill. The owners are very friendly and they do amazing burgers on a Friday night which are buy one get one free, definitely not to be missed! <br/>The house is a good base to see lots of Northumberland especially parts of Hadrian’s wall which is only 15 minutes drive down the road. <br/>Overall this is a beautiful house set in a beautiful location. We would definitely come back!

WOW. What a fantastic stay. Insanely comfortable beds, large spacious rooms and a beautiful view. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Perfect location, beautiful house with equally beautiful views! <br/>Highly recommend!

Lovely house, very comfortable stay. The garden area outside was great. The house had everything we needed.

A large, comfortable house with amazing views at the rear of the property. The garden furniture was ideal to take in the views. Good location for exploring the surrounding area and Hadrian's Wall. Friendly neighbours on both sides.

Perfect property to explore the beautiful surroundings. <br/><br/>The property is spacious and clean, with modern decoration and furniture. <br/><br/>The view from the back of the property is quite special.

Super stay we really enjoyed strathview

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very spacious and comfortable and we miss the views across the valley!
