First class customer service, email and mobile messages throughout, very efficient. The accommodation was excellent for 1 or 2 persons, compact living room kitchen & bathroom but with a high standard of furnishings and literally everything provided, even a welcome pack of wine, milk, bread, coffee, tea which we very much appreciated after our long journey. The large bedroom was very tastefully decorated with a king size bed and quality mattress, pillows etc. The Manager met us upon arrival, handed us the keys, showed us how to use central heating, TV etc which we greatly appreciated. We will be staying in the Bolam property again which is ideally situated in historic Alnwick to continue exploring the beautiful area of Northumberland.

“Great little place in an excellent location right in the middle of town.”

Local attractions are all within easy walking distance and a short car journey takes you to many more. Bolam itself had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It was also a nice touch to arrive with a few provisions already bought in for us (tea, coffee, milk, bread). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again.

“The TV reception wasn't very good, kept losing the picture, would have been nice to have a colander and a potato masher but the complimentary food and wine was very welcome.”

“The accommodation was in an ideal location, and perfect for a couple.”

However some may have a little problem with the stairs from the High Street, and just outside the premises was quite untidy - I understand this is something that is to be dealt with. We would like to make a special mention in respect of the key holder, Tim Syass. Tim has great knowledge of the area and is very helpful. He also laid on a lovely welcome pack - thank you Tim!

“The apartment was lovely and very comfortable but the surrounding area is very dirty and could do with a good tidy up.”
Mr Wilbraham June 2018

“We had a good week's holiday in a modern apartment just behind the town centre.”

It was well equipped and furnished, very convenient, and Tim who looks after the property was extremely helpful. Perhaps worth noting: the apartment gets quite a lot of solar heating upstairs, so we found the duvet rather too warm for this time of year. Otherwise, excellent comfortable property.
Mrs Jeffries May 2018

“The contact Tim was extremely helpful and pleasant, couldn't have been nicer.”

House was in a great location, really central and was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Had a really enjoyable stay.
Mr Hutchinson May 2018

“Fantastic welcome from Tim who provided great local knowledge for pubs, restaurants and sight seeing activities.”

Great apartment in beautiful condition and in a lovely setting. We can't wait to return.
Mr Holland May 2018

“We only decided to visit Alnwick at the last moment and found " Bolam " using the Sykes Holiday Cottage website.”

Fortunately for us, there was a vacancy despite it being the Bank Holiday period and, following a quick phone call to the booking agents, Sykes, mid-afternoon the day before we intended to go for our short break, we were able to book. The whole process was done remarkably quickly and we were given all the necessary venue details over the phone with a follow-up confirmation email within minutes of ending the call. Tim was our contact in Alnwick and he gave us detailed phone directions to the property by highlighting some of the landmarks we would be guided by once we had entered the town. He was very thoughtful and met us near the property and helped us with our luggage to our home for the next few days. He had a wealth of local knowledge and lots of advice on places to visit, where to eat and more. The actual venue is immaculate and forms part of a small development of similar soon to be available holiday lets set in a former stone built picture gallery close to the centre of Alnwick. We would most certainly return and would definitely recommend it to others!
Mr Perrin April 2018

“We were first to holiday in Bolam so everything was brand spanking new.”

A small amount of tweaking is obviously needed but this on no way spoilt our stay. Communication with Tim, our contact, was first class. He even called us the day before we were due to travel to inform us that the external paving was not complete and was very apologetic. This did not detract and was only an issue to him. The apartment couldn’t be more central in Alnwick, which proved to be a lovely Market Town. We travelled to Alnwick by train and used the local bus services to travel the Northumberland Coast. Overall we would recommend the region and stay in Bolam.

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.
