“Great location for exploring Morpeth, the cottage is nicely appointed and being set within a courtyard, away from the main road it felt very calm and peaceful.”

As stated parking is not available on site but we did not have any problems finding a space in one of the highlighted long stay car parks. The cottage lacked the little welcoming touches that can make a stay with not even a bottle of milk being provided. There were a couple of cosmetic things within the cottage that required attention.

As stated parking is not available on site but we did not have any problems finding a space in one of the highlighted long stay car parks. The cottage lacked the little welcoming touches that can make a stay with not even a bottle of milk being provided. There were a couple of cosmetic things within the cottage that required attention. Staying over Christmas and the premium attached to a stay during the festive period we had hoped the cottage would have been decorated accordingly and this definitely took the shine off the start of our holiday. Nevertheless it is nice enough cottage.

“A great property, epuipped with all that you could need, including basics like tea, coffee and milk on arrival.”

It is very conveniently located in Morpeth town centre.

- Mrs Holmes, October 2018
“Great location for the town and lovely setting.”

Morpeth was a great place to visit and central for enjoying the coast.

- Mr Matthew, October 2018
“Great accommodation - Robert extremely helpful and provided a travel cot, stairgate and high chair for our 1 year old.”

Lovely central location within Morpeth and a good base for exploring Newcastle and Northumberland.

- Mr Dowdall, August 2018
“The property is well situated in the centre of Morpeth but located up a very queit alley.”

The alley leads to a courtyard shared by 4 properties only. The coutryard is extremelly pleasant and secluded; it is difficult to remember your located in the centre of Morpeth: The garden is excellent and seating area receives morning and early afternoon sun. The cottage is well equipped, with good decoration and clean. All modern appliances are available. The property is not directly overlooked adding to the privacy. We found the owner very friendly and supportive. Morpeth is an excellent base to explore the beauties of Northumberland and all National Trust properties as well as the breathtaking coastline. We would have no hessitation in bookign again.

“Lovely cottage.”

Well fitted out. Great location. Owner very helpful.

“Great base to explore Northumberland”

A lovely, well equipped cottage tucked away in a quiet yard but still in the centre of Morpeth. We loved the decor, the comfortable beds and although we prefer to eat out whilst on holiday, the kitchen had everything we needed for the food we did prepare. It really was a home from home. The cottage doesn't have parking but we didn't find this a problem as the owner, Robert, provides parking permits and advice on where to leave the car. He was also there when we arrived and carried our bags in for us, he was an excellent host, caring and attentive but not in the least bit intrusive. We will definitely be visiting this lovely cottage again.

“Great location in the centre of Morpeth.”

Really handy for shops and other services and ideal for using public transport to get around he area. Although cottage was in the town centre it was very private and quiet and peaceful. The owner was attentive and made us very welcome.

- Mr Hemingway, April 2018
“We have just spent a week in this lovely, well equipped cottage.”

It was in the middle of Morpeth but, tucked away in a very pretty yard. Robert our host, met us on arrival and carried our bags in for us. He explained where we could park and provided parking passes and although the cottage doesn't have its own parking, we had no problems at any time during our stay. Robert even stood in a space for us when we arrived so that we could move the car round immediately after unloading! The decor is modern and very much to our taste and the beds were very comfortable. Morpeth was a great place to be based to explore Northumberland with easy access to the A1 or a quick walk to the bus and train stations if you prefer to leave the car behind. Robert checked by text during the week to make sure everything was ok, which it was, and was genuinely concerned that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We were sad to leave this morning and I'm sure we will be revisiting this charming cottage that felt like home.

“Cottage is in a nice quiet central location.”

Parking is not available at the property, but can easily be found in one of the nearby carparks. The cottage itself is quite nicely decorated, but lacks some basic equipment, ie decent toaster, enough cutlery etc - which is fine if you do not plan to cook, but limiting if you do. Considering cottage has been recently renovated, it is starting to look tired, and the cleaning between tenants could be done more thoroughly. I would have liked to have seen some basic provisions provided, or even a starter pack as is quite typical in other Sykes Cottages. Other than that we had an enjoyable week and the small downsides did not spoil our holiday.

- Mr Scott, April 2018
“What a lovely cottage in a fantastic location right in the centre of Morpeth.”

Very cosy, clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. Would highly recommend!

- Mrs Rowley, February 2018
“I can't recommend 4 Wheatsheaf Yard highly enough.”

Beautifully decorated with modern furnishings but really cosy and warm, and clean. It was perfect for a relaxing break away. We cooked each night and had everything that we needed, a really well stocked kitchen with all pans and crockery etc. A great location too, right in the centre of Morpeth yet in a quiet little leafy yard that made it feel like it was in the countryside. We would love to return.

- Mrs Christie, January 2018
“Lack of basic provisions - sugar, dishwasher tablets, soaps etc.”

Terrible parking. Lack of instructions - rubbish disposal etc.

- Dr Watson, November 2017
“The cottage was very tastefully decorated and comfortable in a good central position of Morpeth - a lovely town , in bloom, with all the amenities required for a self-catering holiday, but with options of good places to 'eat out', all within walking distance.”

Robert, the friendly owner, met us and helped carry our luggage to the cottage which was through a typical Northumbrian yard, full of wonderful plants maintained by the cottage's delightful neighbours, and a generous welcome pack awaited us. We would happily return to the region, a beautiful county, and the cottage - but the 'locals' may well want to keep their region a secret to avoid too much tourism!
