First visit to Northumberland & very impressed. Riverside well positioned to tour the area. Property very homely and comfortable. Beds were great. Only small criticism was lack of outside space, but lovely walks on doorstep to compensate.
In particular would recommend visits to Alnwick / Alnwick Castle, National Trust Cragside, Alnmouth beach, Vindolanda / Housesteads Roman remains, Bamburgh Castle & beach, but tbh everywhere has charm and is of interest.
