We decided to stay at Mill House as we were visiting our youngest son in Newcastle where he is at university and wanted to spend some time in Northumbria before returning home. Following a night in Newcastle, we made our way up the A1 to Mill House, a journey of about 40 minutes. We were welcomed on arrival by Karen who very kindly booked a table for us at the local restaurant and then made us a pot of tea and home made cakes wich we ate in the snug, this is for residents only and Karen lit the wood burning stove so it was lovely and cosy. We had the upstairs bedroom which was fabulous, with a private bathroom just across the hall, this wasn't an issue as we were the only people upstairs so there wasn't a problem of bumping into anyone en route to the bathroom.
Breakfast was served at a time of our choice and this was lovely and filled us up for the day.
On our second night Karen again arranged a table for us at another local restaurant and on our return she had lit the fire for us in the snug so it was really cosy and she had also lit the candles dotted around the room, it was very welcoming and felt like home from home.
Karen was so friendly it felt like we were chatting to a friend, she had lots of information about the local area and maps available to borrow if needed.
I would say karen went over and above to ensure that we had a relaxing time, I would not hesitate to stay here again and am already planning when we can escape to Mill House again.
Thank you Karen
