  A great place to stay. Excellent for hills, moors and coast of beautiful Northumberland. The apartment and gardens are great – the art shed a favourite.

  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!

  Lovely apartment in a beautiful part of the country. Underfloor heating in the kitchen was so toasty warm on the feet 🙂

  This place is in a perfect location. Views are breathtaking. The house has everything you need. We have 3 children, varying from 4 – 11 and the bunk beds were… read more perfect for them. Lots of board games and toys for them which was great. There was also a Art hut for the kids and us to do some painting and drawing ect. The owners are really friendly and extremely helpful. Rothbury town is 2min drive , which has everything you need shopping wise. Some lovely walks around Rothbury with some excellent scenery.
Looking forward to staying again really soon.

  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.

  A perfect location to explore Rothbury, Cragside, Simonside Hills and the Cheviots. among else! Andy & Lyd are lovely hosts, and they’ve created a beautiful, unique place at Pondicherry.

  Andy and Lyd’s cosy little annex nestled on the hillside is just the ticket for a quiet trip away, and they are both super welcoming (not to mention their soppy… read more doggies). We just loved sleeping by the open fire.
It’s a lovely starlight stroll into town. We had lovely, and very different, meals at Berwicks and La Mensa, and enjoyed a few pints in the Queens Head, and great fish’n’chips form the chippy.
In our days we really enjoyed Kielder forest – and would recommend the bird of prey centre, Hadrians Wall – sycamore gap and the ruins nearby, Caster and it’s smokehouse and Cragside was stunning even in the drizzle.
We can’t wait to visit Northumberland, and Rothbury again. And would highly recommend this place as a mini home for your stay.

  We had a lovely time at Pondicherry house. We received very clear directions to the house and had prompt replies to our messages. Lyd welcomed us on our arrival and… read more showed us where relevant things were within the house. The heating was set up when we arrived. The house was clean and tidy.

Lyd kindly lent us her ironing board and we also were offered a cup of tea with her and the family, who were all very friendly and welcoming.

Thank you so much for a lovely weekend!

  Andy & Lyd’s apartment in Rothbury is perfectly located for enjoying Northumberland. You wake up every morning to a perfect view looking across to Simonside. The apartment is very comfortable… read more and well equipped, providing a great place to relax after a day out. They have a fabulous garden which we enjoyed exploring and a well equipped art shed, great for adults and children alike to discover their creative side.

Rothbury has plenty to offer – shops, pubs and places to eat. There are many local walks directly from the apartment. Cragside is very nearby, which is an extremely impressive National Trust property. You can also easily reach the beautiful coastline and visit the different castles from their place too. We would highly recommend a stay at Pondicherry Apartment.
