Memorable Morpeth

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Beautiful goodies supplied by the host on arrival. The house is decorated with such style, everything you could need for a short or long stay and all within walking distance of Morpeth's main centre. Sad to leave! Thank you Suzanne & Andrew for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Just a wonderful place to stay.
