Mr Cuffling
December 2019

“When we got to the apartment there wasn't any heating on and the place was freezing cold, there wasn't any instructions on how to use the heating so we had to phone the owners.”

To give credit to them they were very helpful and gave us instructions which to be honest was easy. The place could do with a few basic cleaning materials (there wasn't even a vacuum cleaner). After saying that it was clean and once we had the heating going and the fire lit it was also warm

Mr Tyler November 2019

“We had already stayed in the flat above so knew what to expect and we weren't disappointed.”

A lovely little flat in a great location. No real complaints other than the shower curtain is very dirty and mouldy
Mr Oliver October 2019

“Fantastic Location.”

Very short walk to the coastline. Short walk over the cliff to a fantastic beech. Perfect for the dog. Local store 2 min away. Very nice powerful Independent shower and bath option.. Amble lovely harbour area and town. We will definitely be back
Mr Lee October 2019

“It would be great to have an information pack for the accommodation, with info on where to put bins out, clear ash out etc.”

We had an amazing time and would highly recommend Amble!
Mrs Goucher September 2019

“Despite the accomadation which sykes need to check periodically for cleanliness and equipment.”

This left a lot to be desired, we love amble and the surrounding towns in northhumberland but others before us were not impressed with this apartment
Mrs Bryson August 2019

“Holiday flat was ok could do with somewhere to dry your clothes but I am afraid I wouldn't be able to stay there again found both beds very uncomfortable but apart from that everything else was ok.”
Mr Peat August 2019

“Needed a few things.”

Vacuum cleaner Oven trays Cloths drying rack Beds where uncomfortably low and difficult to get out of.
Ms Thompson August 2019

“Very disappointed to be asked for feedback whilst being referred to as Mr Thompson.”

Mr Thompson did not feature in our party and NONE of my booking information referred to a Mr Thompson at all....... Sykes Cottages would benefit from showing more interest in their customers instead of simply seeking reviews to better their own business. VERY POOR Customer experience.
Mrs Thacker July 2019

“No.23 Gordon Street was the perfect flat for seeing Amble at its best.”

The flat was very clean, comfortable & contained virtually everything you need. Amble is a beautiful village by the sea. It has all the amenities close by and perfect for dog walking.
Mrs Finlay June 2019

“A well equipped flat in a great location”
Mrs Chivers May 2019

“Second time going to this flat will more than certain to make 3”
Mrs Bolton March 2019

“Well situated and equipped except for lack of a hair dryer but on making a request one arrived the same day.”

Grab handle for step down to bathroom very useful. Clean and well equipped but freezer needed defrosting. TV and Wifi. Would benefit from a map and local up to date leaflets also some sort of file containing operational details for equipment. Enjoyable stay and dog friendly.
Coates March 2019

“The holiday was bought as a Christmas gift for 2 very good friends, and some of the reviews weren't too good, but I needn't have worried the apt.”

was brilliant everything you need plus more, the owners had thought of everything. Just one problem, the bed was so comfortable I didn't want to get up and explore the area. I would say this is a brilliant apt. to use as a base to explore the area. 11 out of 10. Hope to return for another holiday
Mrs Senior-eason February 2019

“Ideal base for exploring the coastal route to other towns.”

Dog friendly is a bonus and just a 2 min walk to the beach, loved it! Just a short walk to the fish shop, newsagent, beach, marina and main town. Friendly town and pub welcome dogs too. Flat spacious and clean, comfortable beds and the owners very helpful and friendly. Would go again.
Mr Kelsey October 2018

“Unfortunately unlike all the other Sykes cottages we have visited the lack of bedroom furniture in the second bedroom, and the uncomfortable mattress was disappointing.”

The sofas in the living room were torn and again uncomfortable, so much so we came home early. The lack of facilities in the bathroom such as nowhere to put clothes when showering. Although we knew it was a flat the noise above was disturbing.
Mrs Stanley September 2018

“Our cottage at 23 Gordon Street was comfortable.”

There were a few things that might have helped. There was only one wardrobe in one of the rooms and so hooks on the back of doors would have helped. The holes were there for them but no hooks! In the bathroom that would have helped too. The boiler was very noisy when it fired up, which was a bit disturbing. It was very good though, comfortable and warm and very clean. We enjoyed the comfortable beds and proximity to the sea. Thank you
Mrs O'shea August 2018

“It would have been helpful to have a 'welcome pack' detailing things such as - how to work the combi oven/extractor fan/bathroom radiator/bathroom light and fan.”

Also which bins to use and when is bin day. I stayed in this apartment two years ago and fed back that I couldn't use the oven as it was dirty. I was disappointed that this was still the case. On the plus side, the combi boiler and bath with separate shower was welcome and also the location was great.
Mrs Chantry August 2018

“We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday - the accommodation was well situated and very comfortable and clean.”

It would have been useful to list that there was a fridge /freezer in the kitchen description. The only issue we would raise which has been mentioned on other reviews is the fridge freezer doors which are not attached to the appliance and so become quite cumbersome. I feel it would have been better to remove the doors so access to the fridge and freezer units was easier with less chance of trapping fingers.
Mrs Marsland August 2018

“This was a well positioned, convenient property, handy for all amenities in Amble.”

However there were a number of things which were disappointing. Having read reviews from a while ago, there were suggestions and complaints which still have not been addressed: Nowhere to put toiletries or hang clothing in the bathroom - there had obviously been a hook on the back of the door which had not been replaced; The casing on the fridge/freezer was not attached which made it difficult to open; Upstairs apartment very noisy - people walking around and some kind of plumbing noises. We were also disappointed to find that the fridge was dirty, the kitchen floor had sticky marks on it and there was dust and dirt under the sofa. The sofas are generally tired and grubby. The bedrooms do not have adequate storage - the only storage in one is 2 small bedside tables and the carpets are stained and marked.
Mrs Lemercier July 2018

“The accommodation was excellent and very clean.”

It also had everything that we could possibly need. More than happy
Mrs Walker June 2018

“Great location.”

Clean, tidy, comfortable beds and plenty of towels. On the downside there were no Pyrex/veg dishes so cooking in the property was limited to items which could be cooked on the hob. The shower head was broken and there were no shelves in the bathroom to put out toiletries. The living room light did not work and the hallway would really benefit from some coat hooks. That said, the sun shone the beaches were beautiful as always and we had a nice break.

About the location

AMBLE

Warkworth 1 mile; Alnmouth 4 miles.

The bustling little seaport of Amble is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. Historically a centre for boatbuilding, Amble offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters. There is a fish centre on the side of the harbour that is now primarily a shell fish hatchery to re-stock levels of lobster and other shell fish, this sells local fish and is open to the public. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an RSPB reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be arranged. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb beaches are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach.
