"The owner was very kind and informative and on hand if needed which was very reassuring, nothing was too much trouble."
The property was spotless and well presented which was a credit to the owner
-
"Very generous welcome pack, great information provided and good communication with the extremely helpful and friendly owner."
Rose Cottage is beautifully maintained, very comfortable and cosy and is equipped to a high standard. The location is superb for exploring the lovely area but the weather before our arrival and the time of year meant a number of our usual haunts weren't open, but having such a welcoming 'home from home' to return to when we did venture out meant that didn't matter so much! We can highly recommend the Coach Inn in Lesbury, Topsy Turvy in Warkworth and the Jolly Fisherman in Craster for a warm welcome and great food.

"Amazing beautiful place."
Well recomended
-
"Lovely Cottage in a quiet location, but close to many of Northumberland's most scenic locations."
Superbly comfortable, with lots of nice touches. The owner, Sue went out of her way to make us feel at home, both before and during our stay.

"A very comfortable cottage, with all facilities to a 5 star standard."
The information provided by the owner for the cottage and the area was most comprehensive and exceedingly helpful.
-
"We absolutely loved our stay at Rose Cottage."
Even before we had arrived, the owner (Sue) had made us feel very welcome by providing lots of information about the local area. This meant that we were able to start our holiday straightaway. Rose Cottage was a delight inside and out. Beautiful, quality furnishings, comfortable and so clean! It is obvious that Sue takes pride in looking after Rose Cottage and her guests. Thank you for the lovely roses and welcome pack of provisions. We enjoyed sitting in the pretty, sunny garden after a day of exploring the area. From the cottage we were able to walk into Alnmouth and also to the train station (to travel to Edinburgh). Alnwick is a short drive away where there is the impressive castle and gardens. We also visited the National Trust's Cragside and Holy Island - both definitely worth a visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and hope to return to Rose Cottage in the future.
Thank you so very much for your very helpful review which we hope will help other guests too. Kindest regards and would love you to return sometime Property Owner

A lovely back garden in a beautifully kept village
-
"Rose cottage is a credit to the owners, Sue and Dean."
Immaculately decorated and furnished it is ideal for a 2 to 3 person stay. We wanted for nothing in terms of equipment, and the communication from Sue was excellent in highlighting some local walks and eateries. Lesbury itself is ideally situated for exploring this wonderful part of the country.

The house is well equipped , everything had been thought of. It’s homely and tastefully decorated. We really appreciated the call from Sue before and when we had arrived.

"Convenient location with great walks at hand."
Shame that the pub and shop were both closed during our stay.
Many thanks again for your review and we are delighted to confirm that both the pub and the village shop are open again. One of our original aims with the holiday cottage was to support these and other local amenities which were set back by lockdown. Hope to see you again. Sue Property Owner

"We (2 adults and a 14 year old) were lucky enough to spend a wonderful week at Rose Cottage."
The property was immaculate and beautifully furnished, absolutely spotless with everything (& more!) you could possibly need including a lovely welcome pack. The location is fantastic with lovely walks on your doorstep as well as numerous castles, beaches and villages just a short drive away. We also caught the train to Edinburgh for the day from the local train station. The property owner, Sue, was wonderful with lots of tips and advice before we arrived and also upon arrival. Communication was great and I know that, if we had needed anything at all during our stay, she would've helped us immediately.

"This is a beautiful cottage which we cannot recommend highly enough."
The hostess was so kind and helpful and there was a very generous welcome pack of unexpected goodies! The cottage was immaculate and well equipped. The location was wonderfully central for exploring this beautiful area. We had a car but there are local buses which stop just along the road. There is also a post office / shop, local pub (currently closed) and a welcoming church. Very many thanks to our hostess for a wonderful stay.

"Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and well equipped."
Welcome basket and helpful information about the area.
-
"The cottage is very clean, comfortable and a home from home."
The small courtyard garden was a lovely place to sit and relax with a cuppa. The welcome pack provided by the owners is exceptional, we have never seen such a range of items. The cottage is well situated for exploring the areas around Alnwick, Bamburgh, Warkworth, Cragside, and a host of other coastal villages, gardens and houses. We were a little disappointed to find the local pub is still closed but we did find a traditional pub in the village of Rennington, the Horseshoes. There are lots of places to eat in Alnmouth, but be warned, parking is very limited apart from the beach car park. The extra special touches for us were the phone calls with Sue, before we arrived and the day of arrival, this is a nice touch and shows great care for their customers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay a Rose Cottage.
-
"A perfect holiday cottage in a lovely location."
Sue, the owner, puts so much care and thought into ensuring that her guests have an enjoyable stay. The welcome pack and recommendations were much appreciated. Would highly recommend Rose Cottage.

"Sue is the best host we've ever had!"

"Rose Cottage is a fantastic base for exploring the Northumberland coast and national park."
It is delightful, comfortable, relaxing and spotlessly clean. Sue, the owner, was great leaving a very generous welcome basket and making sure we understood the heating controls and ensured any problems would be immediately put right. My husband and I had a lovely week and after a year on and off of lockdown was just the tonic we needed and we could not have wished for a more wonderful week. Thumbs up to Northumberland as a holiday destination the beaches are amazing and the little coastal villages idyllic. Thank you to Sue and Sykes Cottages for finding us the perfect holiday home.

"Excellent..."
Couldn't fault anything. The cottage immaculate and situated in a lovely village and accessible to so many interesting places of interest ..Sue(owner) couldn't have been more helpful in ensuring our stay would be comfortable, leaving a very generous welcome pack. Lovely walks from the cottage...river and coastal rambles... Alnwick approx 3 miles away.Warkworth,Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses and other popular places nearby. We enjoyed tasty meals in Alnmouth which offered quite a few good eating places.We walked which took us approx 30 mins but would only be 10 mins drive. Would we return?? definitely, this is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.

"Rose Cottage is the perfect base for a holiday in Northumberland."
It is perfectly located in a quiet beautiful village. The cottage itself is very tastefully decorated and is very well equipped with everything you need. A real home from home.

"Lovely cottage in a beautiful and quiet village with lots of local walks."
-
"A wonderful week, in a very comfortable and well equipped cottage."
The place was immaculate and well organised. We particularly enjoyed Alnmouth - easy to walk in or park in beach car park if carrying equipment. A ‘post lockdown’ trip to enjoy Northumberland and esp the coast was brilliant. Although the Farne islands boat trip was on a rainy day we saw so much wildlife which also exceeded expectations. The cottage has a little courtyard at the back which was a sunny, quiet place to sit, enjoy and read after a day out. The cottage was also warm when the heating was needed and was very efficient. The owners were attentive and informative. Lovely to see the little village shop still in business. Thank you once again Sue.
-
"Arrived in the afternoon to find a great welcome pack from Sue."
Access was easy and straight into a modern cottage. Everything you need and more is made available to you so no need to rush out to shops. although they are on your doorstep a few miles away in Alnwick. We used as a base to get up to Edinburgh and Lindesfarne for a few days and was easy access to A1 and the locals area. Alnmouth was a great afternoon walk and some nice places to eat. Overall was a nice few days away and a great base to go north or south

"Rose Cottage is beautiful to stay in and very well placed for visiting lots of interesting places in Northumberland."
-
"The cottage owner was very warm and welcoming ensuring we had a very enjoyable holiday."
The owner made early contact to seek our needs for our stay. She also provided a lovely bowl of fruit, wine etc. over and above our expectations, and took the trouble to check after our return, to ensure our stay was satisfactory and enjoyable. The facilities at the cottage were exceptional. We enjoyed our time at Rose Cottage and would recommend it to other holiday makers as a convenient base for the many tourist attractions in the area.
-
"Rose cottage was delightful, set in a quiet and pretty village."
The location, next to the village pub in Lesbur, was a huge bonus offering very good pub food, with friendly staff and locals. The surrounding area has so many things to see and do and excellent restaurants. We would highly recommend this place and will definitely visit again.
