“It's a fabulous cottage in a beautiful location with great facilities.”

I would definitely book this place again.

“Sunflower Cottage is a really lovely holiday home.”

Very welcoming and extremely clean, and perfectly situated for all the attractions that Northumberland has to offer. It has a lovely homely feeling, very comfortable, very well maintained and extremely clean, would definitely recommend, we had a great holiday. Thank you!
Mr Berry July 2019

“In the information brochure there were the dates of refuse collections but nowhere did it state we had to put the wheelie bins out or where to put them.”

Consequently they were over flowing. As the bins were round the back of the house it would have meant taking them down two lanes to the front. We could not have managed this and other rental places we have stayed in did not expect us to sort the rubbish. This is our only complaint.
Mrs Gardner June 2019

“Great cottage, lots of little touches and most things thought about.”

Not for me but one of the party could have used a hairdryer!!!(not a criticism tho')
Mrs Khan June 2019

“Beautiful cottage in a very pretty area.”

Mrs Wiley April 2019

“Lovely cottage very spacious with everything you want.”

Good location,children enjoyed the village tennis courts and football pitch.
Ms Perfect April 2019

“A fun filled family holiday exploring castles, gardens and the islands of Northumberland!”

Having Sunflower cottage to wake up in and come home to was a treat! A beautiful and well appointed cottage that has everything you need!
Jolley March 2019

“An excellent detached cottage in a beautiful village location; perfect.”
Mr Ingles October 2018

“Sunflower Cottage is spacious yet remains cosy with two lovely sitting rooms and a very large kitchen.”

It is kept spotlessly clean and is very well equipped. Both the Northumberland coast and many inland attractions are within an hour's drive, most only about 30 minutes away making this an ideal location for touring the area. Every day offered something completely different. Thoroughly recommend both the cottage and Northumberland.
Mr Elliott August 2018

“Sunflower Cottage is ideally located for adventures near & far, plenty of walks in the local area, with the National Park almost on your doorstep & just over a leisurely 30 minute drive to beautiful sandy beaches.”

Due to the peaceful location of the Cottage I would advice stocking up on a few essentials before arriving, although there is an array of supermarkets in Alnwick just six miles or so away. ( less than 15 minutes drive ) The Cottage is well equipped for a very comfortable stay, just be a little careful using the steps up & down to the front gate, especially after a visit to the pub just down the road.... Our stay was extra special due to the lovely weather encountered, a real bonus for all. We would certainly not hesitate staying there again, lovely.
Mr Goldie August 2018

“Lovely cottage, well equipped.”

One bed in twin bedroom had a mattress with a broken spring (daughter found it uncomfortable). Other than that, really enjoyed it.
Mrs Roberts August 2018

“We had a wonderful time exploring the area from a comfortable base that really was a home away from home.”

Sunflower Cottage was spotless and a lot of thought has gone into making it welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen in particular was really well-equipped - and so often they aren't! The location was perfect for exploring north Northumberland with the Cheviots, Alnwick and the beautiful coastline all within easy reach.

“Super cottage”

This is a super cottage beautifully presented with a high standard of finish. Lots of authentic bits of old furniture and quality fittings and appliances. Nice location for visiting Alnwick, coast etc We were two hard to please middle aged couples and we really liked it.

“Charming and well presented cottage”

Sunflower Cottage is in a perfect location for exploring both the beaches and countryside of Northumbria. The village of Eglingham has a great pub and the cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need for a relaxing stay - great place.

“Fabulous Cottage Lovely Facilities”

This is a wonderful old cottage a real home from home and very close to Alnwick . The facilities are great it is spotlessly clean with everything you need ,loads of videos/games plus a TV if you just want to veg out. Linen and towels are supplied and beds are very comfortable. We highly recommend this cottage .

“Superb!!”

This delightful cottage, (it was an old cottage not a modern building calling itself a cottage), was certainly a revelation. If all the properties we have stayed in were like this I would be overjoyed! Spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated this well equiped cottage has everything, even nice big fluffy towels! My husband and I will do all we can to stay here again.
LucindaStaffs May 2013

“A typical country cottage”

This cottage was beautiful inside & out. The kitchen was the heart of the cottage complete with an AGA which meant meals had to be thought about, but it provided warmth throughout the house. The beds were kingsize and very comfortable,the bathroom was spacious and the whole place was spotlessly clean. Ample books, games & DVDs available, only possible complaint is maybe a larger TV would be better but you don't go to such a lovely part of the country to watch TV! A short drive away from Alnwick and the coast, an ideal location.

“cottage with character in quiet and peaceful setting”

We enjoyed the views from this cottage, and use of the tennis court/playing field. It made a good base for exploring the area around alnwick and the beautiful beaches.
tmumpy August 2011

“Home from home but better!”

Everything and everyone is catered for - right down to an extensive range of CDs and DVDs to use. We loved the large, bright kitchen, especially the range and all the amenities to give a home from home feeling. The decor throughout was cosy and warm and overall, gave a real cottage feeling. Certainly a relaxing, peaceful location but ideally situated to visit the sights the area has to offer/

“Happy and relaxed holiday”

I thought the cottage was lovely, it instantly felt warm and welcoming. We travelled with a child and grandparent and everyone enjoyed the area and returning each evening to such a great cottage. The aga was fun to use, walks right from the door and an excellent inn almost opposite. The cottage was clean and had lots of entertainment in it, cd's books, games and dvd's. A lovely introduction to the North of England

“So good, we're going back!”

Sunflower cottage is a true home from home. Comfortable, spacious and (once we'd worked out the Raeburn) cosy. Eglingham is wonderful and a great base from which to explore all Northumberland has to offer. Although only there for a week, the cottage really made an impression. The first thing we did on getting home was book another week in the Summer!

About the location

EGLINGHAM

Alnwick 7 miles.

The pretty village of Eglingham sits on a country road between Alnwick and Chillingham, and with its stone houses, lovely gardens, stream and wooded areas, it makes a lovely spot to visit. There is a fine Victorian church in the village, a large pub and also a good restaurant. The surroundings are ideal for those wishing to get away from it all – you may see the heron grace the Eglingham burn, or just relax and take in the views and incredibly wide skies of the area. Within easy reach are the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, the Farne Islands, the castles at Dunstanburgh, Warkworth, Chillingham and of course Alnwick, with its spectacular Garden next door.
