"The cottage was clean and tidy, spacious comfortable bedroom with splendid en suite shower room."
Location in the village perfect, nice pub around the corner with good food, appreciated the welcome pack. Kitchen quite functional but would rather have had a good storage cupboard rather than a full size dishwasher. Over all a good stay in a fabulous area. T

"Perfect location for both Scotland and Northumbria."
Around the corner for an amazing walk. Butchers on your doorstep that does bacon butters. Fish and chip van on a Thursday. Accommodation was nice and cozy. Beautifully decorated. Had all the amenities you could beef. Wishing machine, dishwasher, compact fridge. There wasn’t much storage for dried food but we kept ours in a bag. Complimentary tea and coffee was a nice touch. Nice and warm with smart tv if you wanted to curl up at night. Quiet surroundings to get a good night sleep. Shower was nice and hot, not very powerful but did the job. There is no back garden if you have dogs but plenty of places to take them out on your doorstep. Very enjoyable stay. Would definitely book again.

"We had a lovely week at Pedwell really well situated in the village."
The house was lovely and warm and quite well equipped. The wine and shortbread were very welcome. We could have just done with a sweeping brush to get all the bits up without bringing the vacuum downstairs all the time and a grab rail for the shower would make it feel safer. I can't understand why we have not been to Norham before after going up 3 or 4 times a year. Fascinating castle and it's history. The river Tweed down the lane was lovely, and the river bankwalk was tranquil. We visited the church and chatted to the warden we could even take our dog inside. Brilliant Sunday roast at the Masons arms and another meal there later in the week. Everyone was so friendly.
We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay in Norham, it is a beautiful village and Pedwell right at its heart. Thank you for your feedback and we take on board your suggestions. Property Owner

"Love this property."
We stayed last year and loved it so much we decided to come back. The house has everything you could want. It's lovely and relaxing and we love the village. The village has a local shop as well as a bakery and pub . Beautiful walks and of course the Castle with all its history. Norham is close to lots of Northumberland and plenty of places to visit. Both Alnwick and Bamburgh Castle are a short drive away. As is Holy Island and Berwick-Upon-Tweed. Also plenty of Scottish towns and places of interest nearby. It was nice after a very busy day to come back to the cottage and read and relax . Loved that the cottage is right opposite the local church which if you walk through will take you right down to the river. One last thing to note was my husband accidentally shut the front door with our housekey inside. We rang Sykes up who contacted the owner. The problem was sorted so quickly and it was nice and reassuring to know .
Thank you for your positive review, Pedwell is right at the heart of a beautiful area with so much to offer, we would love to welcome you back for your third visit! Property Owner

"Lovely, comfortable, well laid out cottage set in a picturesque and friendly village."
A nice touch to have prosecco and shortbread laid out - thank you :) A good living area space with great sofa and the kitchen was well equipped. Some firelighters would have been nice however, as it was a bit chilly in the evening. Parking directly outside the cottage. Norham is a great location for exploring the wider area (Berwick/Bamburgh/Holy Island) and only a couple of minutes on foot to a beautiful river walk.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in our cottage, Norham is a special place. Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay but there are a few things we would like to raise: we were surprised that there wasn't a pint of milk in the fridge."
All the other cottages we have hired do this. Little things like salt, pepper, and tinfoil are usual too. I noticed that people commented about this regularly in the visitors book. Black out curtains in the bedroom would be good especially in the summer. The sofa is vert uncomfortable especially if you are tall. The fact that the kitchen units didn't have handles was a pain too. There are a couple of great pubs in the village and a fantastic shops: butcher, Baker and general store.
We are glad you found some things to delight you in Norham, we endeavour to provide what we can for our guests to ensure a pleasurable stay and hope you enjoyed your sparkling wine and biscuits. We are a self catered cottage and as you mentioned, in a well resourced village with everything within easy walking distance. Property Owner

"The cottage is lovely and in a perfect spot for exploring Northumberland."
Plus it is close to gorgeous walks by the River and popping across the border into Scotland. Norham is a beautiful village with all the amenities needed whilst also being peaceful and unspoilt. We had a great week with our dog
We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed our cottage, it is very special, built from stones from the castle and part of the history of Norham. Property Owner

"This is a very clean and well presented property in a lovely village."
Excellent local butchers and wine shop, bakery and small general store. Riverside walks along the Tweed were delightful. I stayed with my 2 dogs and the proximity to the Churchyard was invaluable first thing on a morning. The main problem I experienced was the dreadfully uncomfortable sofa. When you sat on it you were about a foot off the floor and there was absolutely no support for your back. It was largely due to this that I cut my holiday short and returned home early. If the weather had been better and I didn’t need to be in the house I would have stayed longer. The other item lacking is a rubber mat for the floor of the shower. Excellent shower, extremely slippy surface.
What a shame the weather was challenging, we are glad you enjoyed our cottage and made use of the facilities. We have provided a anti-slip shower mat after your feedback in case anyone else is worried about slipping. Property Owner

"We very much enjoyed our stay at No."
8, the cottage was very clean and comfortable. It was a lovely gesture to leave Prosecco and cakes for us on our arrival. It was a great base for exploring Northumberland, Bamburgh Castle and Seahouses were particular highlights. As was the nearby town of Berwick. There were only a couple of things to consider, a little clothes airer might be useful and we couldn’t open the downstairs window, to let fresh air in. Other than that, the cottage was everything you could want. We will definitely recommend it to friends and family.
We are delighted you enjoyed your stay in Norham at our little cottage, there is a rich history to be discovered in the village itself and surrounding area. Property Owner

"A very comfortable cottage with everything we needed."
A small bottle of milk for tea/coffee when you first arrive would have topped things off for us. Good shops in the village were a bonus. My husband could not get over the selection in the butchers/deli. The Masons Arms for dinner was great. The river walk close by was beautiful. The village castle worth a visit. Everything we wanted to visit and more was within a 40 minute drive.

"We loved pedwell cottage."
Such a great location and the village was so friendly, honestly everyone we saw chatted to us. Local shop is handy and we'll stocked. The river walk and castle was lovely. We visited lots of places not too far , Holy Island , Alnwick , Berwick and Bamburgh Castle. The cottage has everything you require and it's a nice place to relax at the end of a long day. The rooms are nice and airy and spacious and it was certainly very clean. The welcome pack was lovely thanks so much. Next door neighbour was also very friendly and chatty. I'd definitely recommend Pedwell to anyone.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found Norham friendly and welcoming. Property Owner

"Lovely village."
Close to small quaint villages and castles. Place was spotless and welcoming. Loved the bottle of bubbly and biscuits. Local pub served good food and deli in the village was great. I am a widow and felt safe wandering about and visiting the pub The staircase is steep but this is an old house so not everything is standard. I’ve got a heart condition and managed taking it slowly but it would be useful to have another bannister
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and felt safe and secure. Norham is a beautiful village with so many great amenities and a second pub just opened! Property Owner

"A comfortable and very clean property in an idyllic village with plenty to see and do in the surrounding area."

"My husband and I have limited mobility the stairs were very steep."
And the sofa in the living room was very low and I struggled to get up , we could not find bins to put rubbish in so I put it in the dog bin in the cemetery over the road ,we also had ants in the kitchen they were on the benches in the morning would not recommend this cottage for older people like our self, also there was no slip Mat or handrail in the shower
We are sorry you found the property did not meet your requirements, we will ensure Sykes includes an accessibility statement on the profile. There are instructions in the Property information book and on the door to the cupboard housing the kitchen bin, directing you to the location of the bin. Thank you for drawing our attention to ants being present in the property, we have had the property checked and you will be pleased to know they is no sign of them. Property Owner

"A perfect cottage for us and our two cairn terriers."

"We enjoyed staying at the property, it’s a lovely house, nicely designed and decorated."
The location is great, a perfect base for exploring the area. A nice village (friendly locals) and handy to have the bakers, shop and the pub nearby. Good also to be able to eat out without needing to drive. We did a great walk from the door along the river to the Union suspension bridge, honey farm and via the castle on our return. Also enjoyed the Lowry trail in Berwick. We loved evening strolls along the river, so relaxing. The Tweed is so beautiful. A good place to relax . We appreciated the welcome gifts.
Thank you for your positive feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed all the wonderful walks and beautiful places to visit. Property Owner

"The cottage was perfect, positioned in a lovely friendly village, would recommend the shop, the bakers, the butchers and definitely the pub."
The location was perfect for exploring the area, Bamburgh, Holy island, St Abbs and Alnwick all worth a visit. We are already discussing when we can return.

"We loved the cottage."
It was cool when arrived but was quickly warmed. It would benefit from extra storage for food items as there was just the fridge and a shelf so it made getting a shop in for the five days a bit of a juggle. The owner was very helpful when i contacted her and sent helpful information about local beaches. We were right near the walks on the river Tweed and our dogs loved that! Local people were very friendly and welcoming too. The local church chimed the hour but not after midnight and early hours, which was really quaint. We would definitely book again.
Thank you for your feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, there are so many beautiful places to visit in the area. Property Owner

"Lovely little very clean, tidy, well appointed cottage in a wonderful village in a beautiful area."
There the ruined Norham Castle which you pass on the way into the village. The river Tweed literally a quarter of a mile down the lane. Wonderful river walks. The local pub The Masons Arms provides great food but you need to book. We will definitely come again. Three days nothing like enough time. The only criticism with the cottage is the information pack with seems to be generic. Stating a quick walk to the beach which is actually around 20 miles away. It states that electrical instructions are kept in the kitchen but there aren't any. Had to leave the kitchen bin rubbish bag in the hall because there isn't a refuse bin on the property.
Thank you for your feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We are glad to hear you made it to the beaches of Bamburgh and Holy Island, they are worth the drive! We are sorry you didn't find the bin, it is kept in the side alley to preserve the beauty of the village. as directed in the instructions for departure sent out by Sykes. Property Owner
