"Very comfortable and well equipped property ideally situated about a mile from the centre of Bamburgh."
Plenty of parking space at the property which is excellent and your stay is free from worry in this respect. Five minute drive to the beach for early morning walk with the dog! My wife has limited mobility and this property was very suitable for her requirements. Would not hesitate to book in the future.

"Well appointed clean and good location."
Rooms clean and comfortable.
The only bugbear was lack of plates/cutlery/dishes/mugs etc, which meant having to do a partial dish wash after every meal, rather than one more economical one at the end of the day.

"Nice property, good location with parking."
comfy beds and plenty of facilities in the house.
The only minor issue, was the internet was pretty slow and there wasn’t a phone signal.
But otherwise, nice property

"Dirty, grubby,in every room
Dust ,muck,mould ,spiders webs (old) behind draws trying to turn lamp on in bedroom so noticed and in kitchen near fridge
Dirty mucky kettle full of limescale and smeared."
Mould in bedroom with big wardrobes on wall
Curtain full of dust never been cleaned this year
Dust in room on nice ornaments
Coffee table full off crumbs
Fridge got bits black on inside
Tellevision broke in lounge sykes did change it .had to go buy a kettle they never exchanged it .we never saw the email about us contacting the cleaner till the next day .didn't think we should have to .so apart from what we couldn't do ,we cleaned it .
Lastly you need to leave suitable cleaning materials I had to wash the brush full of old hair leaves .not what you should have to do on holiday. It's such a shame because the house is so beautiful just needs a real good deep clean .can send pictures.

"Despite 2 emails, trying to phone several times, and using the app, which unhelpfully told me I had no upcoming bookings, I couldn't get any reply to my requests for the big bed to be made up as twins!"
The place itself was well located and very nice, if slightly unclean at the edges. The directions and info re keys was good. Just felt impossible to contact anyone.

"After being let down by another holiday cottage firm at last minute (literally cancelled stay the day before we were due to arrive), we used Sykes cottages to book Castle View."
Nicky from Sykes was really helpful getting in touch with the owner to see if they would accommodate us at such short notice. Payment and confirmation were really well handled as was the information sent via email. The cottage itself was really cosy, loved the log burner. Kitchen was really well equipped and decorating throughout was nice. It's just over a mile to walk into Bamburgh and it's down a lane with no pavement so care needs to be taken when walking in. We tended to take the car down to Bamburgh then explore from there. All in all a great week away.

"Had a lovely holiday, very peaceful, lovely views and the cottage had everything we needed and the shower was hot."
Only downside was that we think the people before us had a dog and the property hadn't been properly hoovered/swept so had to hoover on arrival but don't let this put you off as we would book again.

"Fabulous location."
This quiet, clean and well placed holiday home offers everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. So nice to find a property with a comfortable and large bed! Smart TV was a nice surprise too.
As mentioned in a previous review our only disappointment with the property was the hot water temperature. A hot shower would have been nice!

"This cottage is in a beautiful location."
It’s has a welcoming modern interior with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Previous reviews reported a musty smell in the hall and the water for the shower not being hot enough - we would agree with this feedback but it didn’t interfere greatly with our stay.
Thank you for your feedback. I have had a new shower bar fitted in the cottage and disappointed to hear the temperature was not hot enough. I will get the plumber back to check it out. Im pleased you enjoyed your stay at Glororum and hope to see you back in Northumberland soon.

"It was roomier than expected."
Lots of utensils but struggled with the cooker for one meal until we worked out the fan oven was the most trustworthy option. The location was fantastic with wonderful views of the castle.

"There was a damp smell in the cottage entrance."
We have used your company for years and this was the first time the cottage wasn’t ready we arrived- twin beds were not zipped together. No loo roll, no bin bags, no lightbulbs in 2nd bedroom. The light at the exterior f cottage entrance was out for the whole week.
Great kitchen, great parking and fantastic location on a positive note.
I am sorry to hear the cottage was not up to my standard when you arrived. If you had contacted the office we would have come up straight away and got all the things sorted for you. I hope you enjoyed the fizz and chocolates and we see you again at Glororum in the future

"A cosy cottage with everything that we required for a lovely few days."
As owners ourselves of a cottage in Bamburgh it was a pleasure to enjoy a cottage without having to do chores to fix things. A quieter setting at Glororum which was a welcome change from busy Bamburgh at new year. Thank you, we loved our stay.
