• "Nice comfortable cosy cottage with everything we needed."

  2 mins walk from a stunning beach. Bamburgh and Seahouses are a short drive away. Lots of walks available as soon as you step outside.

• "Great holiday cottage spotlessly clean, comfy beds and in a perfect place to walk my golden retriever along beautiful deserted beaches to Bamburgh and beyond."

  The whole area is very dog friendly allowing them into pubs and restaurants. We will book the cottage again in the future.

• "This Cottage is in a great location, however, the Cottage downstairs needs a thorough deep clean, floors very dirty and rug and cushions need replacing due to stains and dog wee smell!"

  This kind of spoilt it for us as the smell in the living room was awful. I have 2 dogs so I'm well aware of their smells but this is years probably of not being cleaned properly. The kitchen was well equipped but as a previous review stated the cleanliness of the downstairs needed addressing and also the tins in the oven were unusable (I took my own with me) I contacted Sykes who spoke to the owner about my concerns and when I was contacted back by Sykes I was assured this would be sorted!! It was not sorted, the said tins were still there and as the previous review they were unusable which disappointed us. The Kitchen floor, like the Living room, needed a deep clean. Bedrooms were beautiful, lovely clean crisp bedding and comfortable beds. Lovely towels too. Overall I would expect the owner to address these issues to avoid further not so good reviews!.

  Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to feed back on the website about the issues you experienced during your stay. As a fully managed property, NCCC (not Sykes) will respond to any issues you experience while you are at the property on holiday, even over the weekend/out of hours, so that they can replace kitchen equipment from their stocks and address any cleanliness issues urgently so that it doesn't ruin your stay. We have looked into the communication issues you describe and have now hopefully rectified the situation. Now that we have received your feedback it has resulted in a deep clean throughout the property with a particular focus on the floors, another replacement rug, cushions replaced, complete oven tray replacement and reassurances from the management company (NCCC ) that they really want to support guests by addressing issues on the spot, at any time during a stay. We are really sorry to hear that your experience effected your stay but are glad that you enjoyed the beautiful area and found the upstairs to be welcoming and clean. Property Owner

• "Excellent position and generally good facilities for four people and two dogs."

  The patio and seating are perfect for afternoon/ evening relaxing and the provided hose was great for washing the dogs after sandy beach walks. The seating in the lounge is getting a bit tired but is ok. The kitchen diner is a bit tight for four but acceptable. Takes some time and concentration to fathom the hob and oven controls however! Roasting tins need replacing - unusable. En suite bathroom needs attention - shower tray surround is loose and potentially dangerous, and the sink shelf is loose at one end. Despite these signs of wear and tear this is a good property, if somewhat expensive.

• "Lovely holiday cottage, we've stayed here several times now and always enjoyed."

  A shame the prices have gone up so much in the past 2 years, we will have to look for another place next summer as the 2024 costs are just too high.

• "Overall property had everything we needed for our stay and great for visiting Bamburgh !"

  However we have a few minor gripes - thick cobwebs around higher ceiling beams noted especially in main bedroom, dead wasp on desk seat in lounge. Very stale odour in the property when we first arrived! No ground (grass) for us to toilet our dog despite being dog friendly and no facility to dispose of glass waste which we never encountered before. We did thoroughly enjoyed our time at Budle sands and as I said at the beginning only minor issues , and we would stay again in the future!

• "A lovely cottage which is very comfortable, clean and well-equipped."

  It is situated in quiet and beautiful surroundings with just a short walk to Budle Bay and a short car ride to Bamburgh. The cottage is an excellent base for visiting other places such as Berwick-upon-Tweed and Holy Island. We had a lovely week and enjoyed many walks with our dog along the wonderful beaches in this part of Northumbria.

• "We were very happy with the cottage which was comfortable and clean."

  Lovely setting - just walk across the road and one has a magnificant view of Budle Bay and a 5 minute walk down footpath to get to the side of the Bay. 3 minute drive to Bamburgh. The complex of stone cottages are extremely attractive and very peaceful. We would definitely return here.

• "We loved the property, its close proximity to the coast and the cosy interior."

  The kitchen was well equipped with a range of utensils, cooking equipment and crockery. The central heating kept the cottage cosy and warm. All in all we had a wonderful stay and would consider coming back.

• "The cottage was simply lovely and the location was great for visiting the many attractions that Northumbria has to offer."

  The cottage was a couple of minutes walk from Budle Bay beach which was excellent for our Labrador who was able to go in the sea every morning and evening! The facilities in the cottage were excellent and it was nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. We enjoyed our stay so much that we intend to return next year.
