We had a lovely stay in Todhills. A very well thought out conversion. Well equipped kitchen and spacious living area. The bedrooms were comfortable. Plenty of parking spaces. Good WiFi throughout the property. We didnt use the hot tub but it looked nice. Garden area is very overlooked by another property.

Beautiful, spacious cottage. Family friend space with high quality finish. Never been to the north east and great base to go and see local areas such as the beach, raby castle and high force water fall.

The cottage was very nice, great for our daughters and grandkids. Very roomy. A lovely cottage which would benefit from a few more homely touches such as lamps and a rug in the living room area. We all Loved the hot tub. I would recommend this cottage if you like the countryside and short drives to many places of interest.
