“A cosy wee neuk for exploring the east borders region.”

Close to many well known ancient sites and of course the isle. Walking the Pilgrim Way over the sand barefoot is highly recommended.

“A lovely cozy space with plenty of room for two.”

Great hosts. Perfect location for North Northumberland, the borders & the east coast of Scotland.My favourite areas.Very close to the A1 but didn't affect my sleep or stay.Not that noticeable at all.Stair case to mezanine level wouldn't suit everybody but wasn't a problem for myself.Very good price for our 4 night stay,stunning weather & a great base to enjoy this wonderful part of the world from.Will definitely stay there again.

Property was clean and tidy and had everything that we needed, but could not recommend to everybody due to the spiral staircase up to the mezannine bedroom which could be a problem to some people

Mr Ward June 2019

“Met by Stephen Fidler on arrival, very welcoming and likable.”

The stay at Aidan apartment was very nice, a good base and a stones throw from Holy Island. The facilities and cleanliness was very good. The only downside is its a shame its not a 100 yards further away from main road ( A1 ).

“We had a nice weekend Break small Apartment but very comfortable the owner Mr fidler was there to meet you on arrival showed you around explained were to eat out and nearest supermarket was very nice man not intrusive left you to get on with it yes we would go back in the future nice to visit holy Ireland and other places .”

Sykes cottages do warn you there is a steep spiral staircase also thank-you Sykes cottages .

“Great place to stay.”

Close to holy island and Berwick centre. Cosy little place and situated next to a great pub with nice staff. Only thing to say is that Aidan cottage I think has the wrong photos attached and maybe for the cottage next door. Similar but slightly different although still enjoyable and would recommend.

Mrs Cook September 2018

“Lovely little cottage.”

Perfect base to visit Holy Island, the Farne Islands and all the Northumberland Coast.

- Mrs Cook, September 2018
Mr Turnbull August 2018

“Small but comfortable.”

Steep winding stairs were a challenge though.

“Lovely little cottage well placed to explore Northumberland.”

A little road noise as it’s next to the A1, but not enough to disturb your holiday.

- Miss Travis, June 2018
Mr Nalty May 2018

“Although close to the A1, we never heard any traffic noise whilst inside.”

Very convenient for Lindisfarne and a pub restaurant, café and filling station shop very close by. With good weather during the first half of the holiday we managed to do may of things that we had hoped.

“Lovely”

Lovely little cottage, ideally situated. There is a little road noise from the A1 but not enough to spoil your peace and quiet. Cottage has everything you need, is clean and cosy. The spiral stairs are quirky but not for the infirm. Will definitely be back!

“I think that some people may be put off by the location of the cottage being so near the A1 but I can assure you that there was very little traffic disturbance whilst in the cottage.”

The location does mean that you are ideally situated for the surrounding attractions. The garage has a small shop for milk, bread, papers etc and a cash machine. There are three eating places within easy walking but I would recommend the Sleep and Eat behind the cottage. The cottage is cosy and comfortable and well equipped with the basics. If desperate for WiFi for the price of a drink you can catch up with your e-mails in the Inn next door.

Mrs Page May 2016

“For us the cottage was central to everything we planned to do.”

We were very close to Holy Island and visited there on 3 occasions. Everything we needed in the cottage was there and there was plenty of room for the two of us. There were lots of leaflets for places to visit and some books which we found handy when trying to identify birds we had seen.
