“A great apartment perfect for a couples’ getaway and so close to the town centre but also quiet and peaceful.”

Excellent help from the caretaker when we arrived plus the wine and bread and milk which was much appreciated.

“There are positives about our accommodation It was well located but the kitchen was not clean.”

The oven was so dirty we wouldn't use it and the kitchen cupboards had stains in them and looked like they hadnt been properly cleaned in along time. In these covid times we expected a very high standard of cleanliness and not to have to bleach work surfaces to feel safe. It's a real shame as the accommodation has the potential to be really nice This is our first experience of Sykes Holiday Cottages and we hope this isn't the normal standard

“The place needed a bit of maintenance.”

The bathroom door lock did not work and the hinges on the door were coming off. The sink plug did not work and it took a long time to drain, probably partially blocked. The heating was not timed and I had to turn it off at night to stop us getting too warm. The implements in the kitchen were just sufficient for two. Otherwise very good, comfortable and clean. The bottle of wine and milk and bread that was waiting for us was appreciated. A great position for exploring Alnwick and free parking close by. Would stay there again.

“I appreciated that Sykes systems were overwhelmed at the beginning of the Lockdown in March but disappointed that frequent phone calls to you were not answered.”

Eventually I was able to access My Account - it had not recognized the password earlier - and decided to take the opportunity to rebook the holiday to a later date. I appreciated that this might entail some extra payment but a/ I think an increase of over 40% in the cost was not justified, and b/ I have not been given any explanation of why there was such a large increase. I have made a booking via Sykes before, and I had a very helpful contact with you when hoping to book a cottage in Ireland but having to pull out of this within the 24 hour period allowed. Even allowing for the difficult circumstances in early 2020, I am afraid my experience this time was very discouraging and I am uncertain whether I would use you again. Nigel Spencer

“It is an ideally located flat just off the high street in Alnwick, with the most comfortable bed and really lovely rooms.”

Lots of hot water in the shower. We were greeted with a lovely bottle of wine, milk, tea, coffee, sugar and a small loaf of bread so we were well set up

“Tim the caretaker was particularly helpful which made the whole experience very positive.”

The flat was very clean and in a perfect location for exploring the town. A great experience.

“The apartment was a great base for exploring the area.”

Beautiful beaches/castles near by. Recommend the sunset cruise to the Farne Islands with Serenity tours. Super king size bed was amazing! Only downside to the apartment was the leaking bedroom ceiling. Needs repair soon as it is quite unsightly!

In a quiet location.

About the location

ALNWICK

Alnmouth 4 miles; Bamburgh 15 miles; Rothbury 10 miles.

The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
