Unfortunately, due to transportation circumstances beyond our control, we were not able to make our stay at this wonderful establishment. We were, however, able to stay in constant communication with The Cottage Inn, so that in the off chance that things did work out, they'd be ready for us. Because of their gracious hospitality and customer service with us, when I come back for my next visit (I still want to see Alnwick Castle and Embleton Bay!), I'll be sure to book my room at The Cottage Inn!
