• "Lovely property, cosy, clean, very comfortable and location was fantastic."

  Only one slight problem with the garden and gates not being completely secure for our dogs who could get underneath the gate and out onto the road. Also people have access to come through the garden from time to time which meant a mad dash to get the dogs if anyone came. This didn't spoil the holiday at all but would have been nice to know this in advance. Would definitely go back as loved it.

  A lovely cottage, well equipped, plenty of crockery, glasses, utensils etc, garden dog friendly but is overlooked, parking in the drive could be tricky if you have a long car as very tight to turn into parking space, handy for co op ,cafés, butchers, pubs in square,

  30. Needs to replace roasting trays and pans. Very poor condition. TV reception very limited. Ground floor bathroom window needs additional stick on frosting.

• "We loved the cottage, it was well equipped and so much better than we were expecting."

  We’ve had many holidays with Sykes and all around the same price point and this was by far the best value yet. The bedrooms were light with lots of ventilation thanks to both rooms having so many windows. It was perfectly located with lots of excellent walks nearby. Such a shame the property is going to be put up for sale as we would love to come back as so much more to explore in the area

• "Lovely property and very well appointed - the beds could use new mattresses in the near future."

  The back door / fire escape door leaked in heavy rains. Could use some cupboards in the Kitchen for traveller staying a week (as we did) to put our groceries. A brighter light bulb in the laundry room could be helpful. A shame that neither of the Pubs served food while we were there - behind your control, I realize...but it was disappointing. These are small things - great proximity to the Wall for walking and a very happy week.

• "Warm, quiet cottage, well equipped kitchen, good quality bed linen and towels."

  Living area dark with uncomfortable furniture. Old TV, badly situated, messy configuration. Connectivity issues. No frosted glass in downstairs toilet window,which is at street level. Upstairs curtains paper thin, had to put blankets over them to darken the room at night. Creaky beds and horrible,badly fitting bathroom door in back room. We left a day early.

• "This cottage is absolutely beautiful, the wasn't anything I needed in the kitchen and did big roast dinner with all the trimmings, the bathrooms are great, the waterfall shower maybe needs descaling as quite a few holes blocked but wasn't a problem, huge white fluffy towels lovely, beds comfy, could go on and on, gorgeous gardens although my little dog found it fun and very easy to get under the gates!"

  Maybe bit of mesh needed at bottom, also some sort of barrier for stairs?, had to use crate and dog basket to keep him downstairs. Everything apart from that like home from home.thankyou.

  The beds are comfy and the village is quiet at night. Nice little cottage garden to enjoy. We had a few issues with maintenance whilst we were there but they did try to fix things withing a day or so of us arriving. It's looking a bit tired in places and could do with a freshen up given the price to stay. Overall a nice cottage and worth staying at.

• "Lovely space, really comfy beds and a good location to base ourselves."

  Didn’t give full marks because the kitchen wasn’t especially well stocked with utensils, and pans are in need of replacing (non-stick coat is peeling off). We had to clean quite a lot of kitchen things on arrival before we could use them.

• "First impressions are the cottage is done to a high standard but in need of some TLC."

  I always judge a place by how good a sleep you get and unfortunately the beds were so uncomfortable. Maybe a mattress upgrade would fix this. There was also a funny smell in the back bedroom. The garden is nice and big and might be dog friendly for larger dogs that cannot get through the large gaps in the gates but not for smaller dogs. Although not a fault of the property owners but our stay was not a relaxing one due to work being done on the property adjacent with a great big wagon being parked in front of the living room windows for most of the time and work starting as early as 4am. Hammering and sawing woke me up several times. Was looking forward to getting home just for a good nights sleep. We won’t be returning back here.

• "Lovely cottage, well equipped."

  The downside for us was a noisy party who stayed at the Dale Manor House. These two properties are part of a terraced block. They all have separate gardens and a larger communal garden for all properties to share which runs along the bottom of these separate gardens. The large party were very noisy (adults and children). They moved benches so they were directly at the bottom of our garden on the other side of a low wall. They had a dog off lead when all signs clearly stated to be on a lead. We were unable to enjoy our garden due to the noise and the lack of privacy and unable to let the dogs out as they would if jumped to wall to play with the off lead dog in the communal garden area. We payed a lot of money for our relaxing week away and lost at least two days due to the above.

• "The Dale Cottage is an ideally located property for 4 adults and their 2 dogs being virtually situated on the Market Square with its 2 pubs, co-op, butchers and coffee shops."

  However we were disappointed to find the coffee shops were not dog friendly and food was only available at one of the pubs on 2 nights a week but again the dining room was not dog friendly. The cottage was warm and comfortable and there were lots of walking routes close by. If there was anything we would like to improve it would be some drawer space in the ensuite bedrooms. There was very little storage space to put clothes in the bedrooms, no drawers, just limited hanging rails.

  However, we would not have booked had we been made aware of the adjoining holiday lets which offered accommodation to large groups with associated risk of noise and disruption.

  Given the weather during our stay the log burner was a great benefit. The bed linen and towels were to a 5* hotel level. Highly recommended for a stay if visiting the area It is a great location to visit the area, seem to be a favourite of walkers/hikers The residents of Allendale were very welcoming, The Forge provided a great breakfast,(also the butchers offered tea/coffee, bacon and sausage rolls as well as excellent homemade pork pies and meat) Sunday Lunch at the Kings Head was fantastic and great value for money, the cost of wine and food in the village pubs was a lot cheaper than in the tourist spots such as the town Corbridge which has lovely shops a fantastic cake shop and historical sites, well worth a visit. A Pizza van with wood fired oven visits weekly, fantastic pizza! also a "gourmet" burger van on a Friday

A lovely tea room and a little cafe again with a minutes walk. Needless to say we ate out every night, although the kitchen is well equipped.

  The garden exceeded our expectations and was larger and very child friendly. Having the adjoining cottage for our own family too was just perfect as we could 'hop over the wall' very easily. The cleaners had done a fantastic job - the place was immaculate and we were allowed to put things in the fridge and leave suitcases whilst we went on my husband's Memorial Walk before the correct 'checking in' time. We found the cottage fabulous for entertaining as Allendale used to be hour home town and of course folks kept dropping by - all very impressed by the quality of the furnishings, décor and were the best equipped self-catering places we have every stayed in (and I used to own a 5 star time share) so I am used to quality but these cottages are 'top notch' and I cannot recommend them too much - we dearly would love to rent them again in the future if it is possible. I feel that anything like the Dale Townhouse and Dale Cottage will be a very hard, if not impossible standard to meet elsewhere and thank you so much for organising them.
