Andy and Lyd were very friendly and helpful and we still felt we had our own space. The apartment is very comfortable and it was great to have books and huge boxes of toys for the kids on the rainy mornings.

It’s a really special place that gives you a brilliant sense of the Northumbrian landscape. Thanks for lovely stay!

We visited lots of beautiful places- Amble (we did a boat trip where the boys got to hold lobsters, crabs and a sea urchin), Holy Island etc and Rothbury is a beautiful place where the children paddled in the river, enjoyed the stepping stones, park and the toy shop and sweet shop. 10/10 fantastic holiday. Andy and Lyd are both super friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much for letting us share your tranquil home

  Very atmospheric house, quiet, great garden with a lot of different birds, beautiful area for walks. Nice village with restaurants and shops on walking distance. Very friendly hosts. Thanks!

  Pondicherry was the perfect place for our family of three. Wonderful and homely with everything you would expect for a self-catered holiday plus more. Our little boy was over the… read more moon to discover boxes of toys and games and he loved the quirky bunk beds which were bigger than expected. Us grown-ups appreciated being close-by as he slept and fell in love with the views and the wildlife. The location was great and although you definitely feel secluded, Rothbury isn’t too much of walk. We loved exploring the town as much as the rest of Northumberland nearby. Andy and Lyd were lovely down to earth hosts who made us feel very welcome. Thanks for having us!

  Lovely cottage in a beautiful area, Andy and lyd made us feel very welcome

  our family had a lovely four nights here over New Year. We made good use of the kids toys and board games. Kids loved the quirky bunk beds.

  We had a wonderful three nights at Pondicherry Apartment. The space was perfect for our needs as a small family with a toddler in tow. Our little one enjoyed playing… read more with the abundant toys and we were able to keep safe ‘zones’ for him with the sturdy doors. We were glad we brought a travel cot but can see that he would have loved the bunks if he was a bit older. There were steps but perfectly safe and shallow for a toddler to navigate. The kitchen and bathroom were just right and spotlessly clean. We were extremely comfy in the king sized bed and the main rooms/space was lovely. The view was spectacular in all the weathers we experience (it was April after all!) and a beautiful sight to wake up to each morning. Andy and Lyd were such kind and friendly hosts and we couldn’t have asked for more from our stay. Highly recommended by us for a peaceful, happy holiday!

  Well – what can I say?! LOVE THIS PLACE.
Absolutely gorgeous home from home in a stunning location.
Basic, low key, simple but really, really lovely. An annex… read more that’s part of the original house, attached to the family’s home.
Small and compact, just about ok for our family of 4 (2 primary school aged children)
We enjoyed it – but – it is important to know that you will be “living on top of eachother” when there (a bit) for your stay. If you don’t mind this – this is great. We had amazing weather when there so that helped with being able to use the outside space as a “living space” as well as the 1 room available.
The property is on a substantial piece of land that looks over a beautiful valley. We roamed the wonderful paths in the garden and spend a lot of time in the art shed and on the patio.
Rothbury is a lovely village within a safe to walk mile.
Would recommend a trip to Cragside, the coastal towns and just roaming around the local area! There are a lot of very simple but wonderful things to do.
Hosts are wonderful people and were more than happy to help and advise on the area.
There were some issues with the wi-fi, but hosts did everything they could to fix the issue (and it more or less was).
Highly recommend for a small family or couple who like a bit of peace and quiet, chilling, going on adventures and enjoying a beautiful area.
Thank you so much.

  This was our second stay at Andy and Lyd’s. It’s the perfect size and setup for our family of three. The views are incredible and our little boy took full… read more advantage of the art hut once again. We all felt right at home in the apartment which has everything you need. Even a great selection of toys to keep little ones happy. Thanks again for a great holiday!
