Cheviot Manor Reviews

Jacqueline
Absolutely wonderful in every way possible. n fact the photos didn't do it justice to the fantastic place it was. There were 13 of us to celebrate my 80th birthday and I couldn't have chosen a better place. Every one of all ages had a wonderful time and the accommodation was perfect. Even our dog enjoyed himself.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cheviot Manor. What an amazing place, lots of space very comfortable and ideal for our group of friends. We loved the large garden and also made use of the swimming pool and sauna. Location excellent with many places to visit in under an hour.
We had a fantastic short break at Cheviot Manor! It was spacious, clean, had everything we needed and everyone was very helpful. It's such a great location for beautiful walks straight from the house too. We will be back
Veronica
Lovely, large old house which is ideal for family groups. Our small grandchildren loved exploring and hiding! We all felt transported back to the 1960s with a bit of grandeur. There were a couple of heating issues thankfully, the venerable AGA was very efficient. Alison, on site, is lovely very friendly and helpful. Despite an icy spell of Northumberland weather, the children appreciated use of the outdoor play areas and the indoor pool, table tennis and table football. We all enjoyed a drink at the Cheviot Goat. The location is a big bonus with ready access to local walks and short journeys to coastal towns.
We had such a lovely time celebrating our mum's surprise 90th birthday. Thank you for the lovely welcome. Great communication. We will endeavour to return and would certainly recommend.
Anisha
We had a wonderful stay at Cheviot manor. The property is beautiful and full of character. The pool table was an added bonus. Staff were super responsive. There was also a nice complimentary gift of 2 Prosecco bottles when we arrived which was a thoughtful touch. Would definitely recommend and would like to return again.
We absolutely loved this wonderfully characterful house which is really well thought out and great for groups of friends and for families.
Dorothea
We have stayed at Cheviot Manor before It is the most perfect place. We enjoy the peace and quiet in the beautiful surroundings. We have booked again! Zoe and Nico the black labradors love been in the garden. Everything is perfect!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cheviot Manor and everything was just as we had hoped. Having the extensive enclosed garden was just great for letting our dog out to have a run. The house was in great condition and the kids loved choosing their bedrooms. Highly recommended and we'd love to go back!
Denise
An absolutely stunning place to stay, A huge Manor House with beautiful grounds, with a small play area to the front housing a slide, swings and trampoline and a huge grassed area, where rabbits congregate in the early mornings, and there is a multitude of birds mulling around, from gold crest to pheasant. The surrounding area is beautiful, its views are amazing, even its early morning mists are awesome to watch disappear revealing the blue sky and sunshine. there are so many places within driving distance too, like Bamburough and Seahouses or Alnwick. The use of pool room and a dartboard in the house is great for everyone too, All 10 Of us enjoyed a Darts knockout on the last night and a great laugh. We had planned our own quiz nights, and games night ahead of our visit. We watched less Tv and played less on our phones and iPads than we have in ages.. The Manor House is an experience in itself, the kitchen is such a homely place with a huge table to congregate at for meals or there is a large dining room too. There is every appliance thinkable for the kitchen, and every pot, pan, utensil or piece of cutlery that you could ever use right there for you. Its rooms including all bedrooms too, are all more than adequately furnished, and decorated and are so comfortable, beautiful arm chairs and sofas. The 3 bathrooms are well cared for and very clean, one of them is also home to a shower. There is also a downstairs toilet too which can come in quite handy. The sitting rooms are so homely, and every where is well heated by what has to be a strong heating system, as this place is huge, but you can have a real fire in the fire place if you wish which is a great touch. The manor brought me and my little family together this October, all 11 of us with an age range from 13 weeks to 67 years old.. we had an amazing weekend, and sincerely hope that the owners would have us back at some point as its somewhere that we really enjoyed being.. Thanks for a great experience, and a lovely welcome basket and card, a great and welcoming touch.

We stayed at Cheviot Manor for a birthday celebration. This was the perfect property. It is spacious with everything you could possibly need. There is plenty of outdoor space with a huge garden, outdoor furniture and park for the kids. Perfect location for exploring the Northumberland coast. We will definitely be returning in the summer months to enjoy the garden and have a barbecue or two.
Josephine
We loved Cheviot Manor and the setting around the area and will be considering booking again for next year, staff very friendly & helpful It would be an added bonus if the pool & spa was to reopen.
The kitchen was too hot with the aga running constantly
We had a wonderful stay, it was everything we wanted or holiday to be! We will absolutely be returning again. Our only issue was that the garden isn't always secure and one time our dog escaped through the gates that had been open when we weren't aware. Otherwise, the space was beautiful, the facilities great and 7 adults, 1 toddler and 1 dog had a brilliant holiday!
Jennifer
My family and I had a fantastic stay at Cheviot Manor for my birthday. The house exceeded our expectations in every way and having such a beautiful outdoor space to also enjoy was a real bonus. We're already making plans to come back.
Nichola
The manor is amazing, the photos do not do the place justice. The house is large, beautiful, comfortable and is ideal for a large group. We were a large group of 15 comprising 4 families. The grounds are outstanding and games room was great. The office staff were helpful and responsive. Would highly recommend.
