  • "Warm & comfortable but impersonal & lacking any of the usual extras (books, maps, local information, personal touches etc)."

    Generic 'Welcome' packs poor, washing up liquid just enough for 2 days (but 3 dishwasher tabs for non-existent dishwasher!!) Fridge was not working at all - should have been picked up by housekeeper &/or owner. NCCC resolved issue but we were without fridge storage for 48 hours (milk & a meal lost).

  • "Dairymaid Cottage has been thoughtfully and tastefully presented for holiday lets."

    Everything is provided and easy to use. We enjoyed the staying there, and appreciated all the comforts. However, there was no indication from Sykes about the building works (in the "vicinity") being actually adjacent to the cottage.. I also asked whether the approach road to the cottage had lighting at night, and was told that it did. In fact the cottage is reached from an unlit junction, into an unlit lane, then to locate an unlit gateway. Neither outside light on the cottage was working. By telephoning the Chester office, we managed to get one swiftly repaired. The main reason why we will not recommend Sykes to anyone is because Customer Support has now been digitalised. This means that one cannot speak to anyone directly, and even my call to Northumbrian Cottages from the cottage about the lights was answered in Chester. Personal contact is essential for tenants when holiday issues need to be discussed, and it is sad that this lets down the good quality of the rest of the operation.

  • "The cottage was beautiful The only thing I would suggest is a mirror to help when leaving the property as it’s very busy with building traffic & there is a blind spot ."

    We nearly had a collision when pulling out onto the road as the wall is very high .

  • "Lovely quiet cottage attached to a farmhouse."

    Everything clean and tidy with a modern kitchen Footpath into town a bit overgrown and care must be taken when pulling out onto the lane. A good location for exploring the Northumberland coast. Would certainly stay there again

  • "Bathroom sink slow running due to dirty hair filled drain, shower was the same."

    Dusty cobwebs everywhere in the cottage and bathroom skirting boards not cleaned covered in dust. A hoover would be great to clean up sand brought in which being a seaside location is inevitable, brush and dust pan no good for older couples ! Oven not cleaned food bits left in the bottom. Would like more essentials, no one wants to take washing up liquid or toilet rolls on holiday, and what was supplied was insufficient for a week! Cafetière obviously for decoration only as we wasted some of our ground coffee as it just poured out the grounds with the water, had to buy one from Morrison’s. Wi-Fi didn’t work used up so much data, on phones as it only came on occasionally and even then was poor connection. Rug in sitting room was dirty too, perhaps not the best colour for a holiday let. The cottage is ‘okay’ but a few small simple changes would easily take it to excellent. Not the best value for money, we stayed in cheaper places in the area with far better facilities and much cleaner.

  • "I loved the fact that the owners didn't come to greet us, I find those encounters a little awkward."

    The cottage was very comfortable and attractive with all the features and services we needed. The peace and quiet was amazing and proximity to Amble brill. A great place to discover or re-discover the wild beauty of the area.

    Same problem with kitchen [long walk from dining table]. Inadequate supply of washing up liquid for 1 week.

  • "Beautiful cottage in a lovely peaceful location."

    Very comfortable and well equipped with quality furnishings. We stayed in the cottage next door last year which led us to rebook. The patio area gets sun nearly all day and makes a lovely spot for an evening drink. Nice local walks in beautiful countryside too.

  • "Although the property was in an idea location for us we felt it lacked a welcome feeling if it was the owner who lived on site we felt a knock on the door just to say hello would have been nice, we also felt it lacked a few basic essentials a pint of milk some liquid hand soap and a toilet roll of better quality would have been appreciated, it was definitely the most basically equipped in that way that we have stayed in over recent years."

  • "On first day of holiday we had 9" of snow in Rotherham so before we set off we telephoned Sykes to see if they could check weather conditions in Amble."

    The customer service we received from the first lady we spoke to was nothing short of scandalous. Fortunately on ringing back we got a better response.

  • "Lovely cottage, had everything we needed."

    Furniture all comfortable, very clean & tidy. We had sun all day sat outside, the town was walkable via a footpath at the back of the farm. Would really recommend it.

About the location

AMBLE

Warkworth 1 mile; Alnmouth 4 miles.

The bustling little seaport of Amble is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. Historically a centre for boatbuilding, Amble offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters. There is a fish centre on the side of the harbour that is now primarily a shell fish hatchery to re-stock levels of lobster and other shell fish, this sells local fish and is open to the public. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an RSPB reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be arranged. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb beaches are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach.
