We had a lovely stay in Tate house. It was in an excellent location to explore Anlwick and our room was just perfect. It had absolutely everything you needed. Lovely comfy bed, nice toiletries etc, hairdryer, fully stocked, tea tray, many biscuits and even sweets on the bed side table, how nice is that! . It even had a sitting out area at the back. Thank you so much for a lovely stay : )
