Cushat House

Lovely holiday cottage, home from home.

Everything you could possibly need were there for you. Very peaceful and quiet area. Totally relaxed for the whole week. Our Border Collie loved the garden and played with his ball and toys every day. Excellent.

This is our second stay and we loved it.

The welcome packs for the humans and the dogs were lovely. The house has everything you need, is very clean and comfortable. It is a home from home. We have two dogs and they loved the fully enclosed garden - one is a husky so this was perfect as she could lay outside safely. The location is ideal as there is so much to do, will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay at Cushat House it was fantastic.

The accommodation was first class.The owners had thought of everything to make our stay feel home from home. The cleanliness of the house, furnishings and the comfort were first class.We also loved the garden and so did our dog.

Had a fantastic week at Cushat House one of the nicest best equipped holiday homes we have ever rented.

On arrival so happy with the space, cleanliness and very thoughtful welcome pack. We slept in the main bedroom with four poster style bed. If you are a light sleeper maybe use the double back bedroom as the skylight in front room has no blind on it so I did make use of my sleep mask. Even though the weather was changeable we were able to make use of the lovely garden and sit at the kitchen table with the patio doors open watching all the birds that visited. The coffee machine was well used and was so surprised at the amount of pods supplied although we did buy some different ones from the co-op in Seahouses. A short drive away was the lovely Embleton Bay where we parked beside Dunstanburgh Castle golf club before walking with our dog along the beach or over the golf course if no one playing. We ate here twice in the afternoon and one evening just stopped in for drinks. Food was lovely and everything very reasonably priced. We walked along the beach one day to Low Newton by the Sea, we visited the local pub The Ship Inn for drinks was extremely busy as was a beautiful day. The food here looked amazing and the most popular item was the crab sandwich. Unfortunately we weren’t hungry but enjoyed our drinks and coffee and took a piece of fruit cake back to the house for later. One night we walked up through the field which has a path kindly cut by the farmer into Rennington where we had a meal at the Horseshoe Inn. Once again the food was so good and the portions were huge we could both only manage a main course and their gluten free fish and chips was so good. Well worth visiting if you stay at Cushat. Was sorry to see that the house is actually up for sale

This was my second visit to Cushat House and absolutely love it.

Its a comfortable spacious rental and the owners are very generous making the stay perfect. The gardens are well appointed and perfect for having a drink or meal when the weather is good. We were blessed with sunny weather during our stay. The kitchen is very well equipped with good quality equipment. The ginger cake was delicious and very happy that other vegan options were left for the guests that joined me .A really special touch and much appreciated. Our fur babies were also well catered for. All in all the owner has got it perfect and we would love to return again.

This was our second visit to this outstanding property and it was just as good has the first time we was here .

Cushat house is very dog friendly with a secure garden and throws so they can sit with you on the sofa . The house its self is very welcoming and you feel at home right away . The area is very quiet but you are only ten minutes away from the beach or town . The goodies what they leave for you are a lovely welcome gift and the ginger cake is amazing. Thank you for our stay .

First class, the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in.

Stunning house we really enjoyed our stay.

Loved the area for the beach to take the dogs everyday. Cake was amazing that was left for us. The dog stuff was a lovely touch. You can tell the owners go out of their way to make sure you have a lovely stay. Only thing I could fault was the bees

This property excels at every level for a holiday.

The facilities inside and out will meet any discerning customers needs of comfort and practicalities. In addition it's proximity to many seaside towns and villages is a real bonus. Quiet beaches abound. In over two decades of holiday rentals Cushat House sits proudly, very, very high. Also thankyou to the owners for a message saying they will post back dog lead and whistle..........even before we arrived home. Already booked for 2026.

The house is stunning and is so well equipped you want for nothing.

Spotlessly clean and enclosed garden is great for the dogs. Would highly recommend.

Cushat house was amazing.

The facilities were above and beyond. Welcome breakfast food in the fridge. There was nothing that the owners hadn’t thought of. Little touches that you don’t get everywhere. They supplied dog biscuits and dog bowls,dishwasher tablets, pegs the list is endless. Also a large BBQ which we enjoyed. A great base for visiting the lovely surrounding villages etc. Only 1 hour on the train to Edinburgh. We would 100% recommend this property. It is beautiful and the owners were available if you needed anything

Lovely place to stay, lovely hosts

Beautiful property immaculately presented and cleaned.

Nothing was too much trouble for the owners loved our stay thank you.

Property is great, really spacious and well presented.

Only downside is the remote location, a car is required for all trips. Wouldn’t put us off returning.

Mini break - absolutely stunning property, home from home.

Want / need for nothing. Calm, relaxing and peaceful environment, both the property and surrounding area. Personal touches which set the scene for mini break / holiday. Property is tastefully decorated, fantastic eye and attention to detail. Lesley & Terry are amazing hosts, very welcoming and accessible and couldn’t do enough to ensure we had the perfect break. Location and property are perfect for a break with dogs also, loads of walks suitable for dogs and dogs are welcomed at the property with open arms also. Will definitely be returning - this is our new favourite place to mini break ❤️ - definitely a 5* star property and 10/10 gold standard for everything else. Thank you both kindly for a lovely few days

Superb accommodation.

Well located for touring the coast. Highly recommended.

Cushat House is amazing.

Everything you need down to the smallest detail. Exceptionally clean, information on surrounding areas spot on. Cake wonderful and good starter pack. Even a basket of goodies for our pets. Thankyou So much

Very comfortable and lots of facilities.

Welcome hamper a lovely surprise. Loved the ginger cake and recipe. Bed comfortable and great that Cushat House was dog friendly. We all found it very comfortable. When we had an issue owners were swift to respond and rectified the issue. I would definitely book again.

This is one of, if not the best Sykes cottage we’ve ever stayed in, and we’ve stayed in a few!

Immaculately clean, comfy, v high quality fixtures and furnishings, decked out with literally anything you could possibly need. Even had a bag of chargers and adaptors! Welcome cake, sausages and bacon, milk. Super helpful owners, attentive and always on hand to assist with any questions. Stunning garden and general location, not overlooked so felt private. Cannot fault and will definitely return. As a family with young children, it was perfect for us. Thank you Terry and Lesley

Cushat house is a lovely property.

It was spotlessly clean and had everything possible to ensure our visit was comfortable and totally enjoyable. Lesley and Terry had kindly put up a Christmas tree and some decorations so it was like home from home the minute we opened the front door. There was really nothing more we could have asked for. It's also a beautiful area. We spent time in Alnwick, Warkworth, Amble, Craster and Embleton. All within easy reach. Top marks all round.

The best holiday cottage we have been to.

We have a few cottage holidays each year and we can honestly say that this is the most comfortable that we have been to. The house itself is very well equipped and very comfortable, the enclosed garden ideal for dogs. The location is also very convenient with beautiful beaches and countryside very close by. We will be back, thank you.

An amazing property, with superb hosts, just booked for a 3rd time!

This was a lovely house with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Lovely bedding. Great WiFi for working and for streaming. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful property in a beautiful location and the owners are lovely.

Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a getaway in Northumberland. Also perfect for dogs (:

Second visit to Cushat House, and it was so good to be back.

This house has absolutely everything you could possibly need, best equipped house we have been too. Love this area, the people and the beaches.

Everything was excellent a credit to the owners efforts.

"A Perfect property"

Wow Wow Wow What an amazing house, 5 stars all the way.

We stayed for the last 2 weeks of August and could not fault anything, many extra supplies for us to use throughout the 2 weeks. There was also dog treats, blanket, poo bags....our dog Hannah loved them all. Terry the owner was in touch to make sure everything was ok, checked if we wanted the lawns cutting and towels changed. Many lovely places to visit, Northumberland is beautiful. We would definitely recommend staying at Gushat House, such a beautiful house. Thank you Terry for making our holiday so special. Joanne

Had a wonderful week here.

..property was immaculate and had everything you could possibly need. Very dog friendly...with welcome treats, blankets and bowls...even a dog brush. Lovely welcome treats for humans too. We went first week of September and weather was lovely...lots of nice walks on the beautiful beaches in this area. Would definitely recommend.

Cushat house was an excellent place to stay, the attention to detail was outstanding and the owners have thought of everything you need (and might possibly forget).

Great location, immaculate, comfortable, beautiful gardens and perfect for the dogs. The garden is enclosed and safe for them (or children). Would highly recommend- there isn’t anything we can think of that would improve our stay.

Wonderful stay at cushst house.

Finishing touches marvellous, welcome hamper for humans and fur babies went down well. Garden totally secure for our 2 spaniels. Lovely location, blessed with the weather, lovely coastline and extremely dog friendly. Would most definitely stay again. Only recommendation would be maybe a step off the patio doors.

Fabulous cottage.

Will definitely be going back.

This house and facilities are perfect for a recharging holiday.

So much care is put to the visitor being as comfortable as possible with every need catered for. This also includes dogs. Thanks again. Much appreciated. See you next year.

This is the third time that we have been to Cushat , mostly in November which was a bit cooler so we had much more chance to enjoy the garden in summer sunshine which was lovely.

Garden perfect and 100% dog proof and the facilities in terms of treats, blankets, bowls etc for our beagle was really brilliant and thoughtful. Very clean and everything you need for home away from home. Beds comfortable, as was settee and chairs downstairs. Lovely quiet location yet really close to beaches and to getting out and about to visit. Druridge Bay , Bamburgh and Alnmouth beaches we loved and the farm shop at Blagdon was fabulous. Terry and Lesley have done a great job and nothing was too much trouble for them. Will eb back again.

Luxuriously appointed dog friendly cottage offering fabulous comfort and facilities.

The open plan kitchen/diner is appointed with every appliance or piece of tableware you could wish for, the lounge is extremely comfortable and there's a separate snug to boot. The gardens are neatly laid out with lawn and architectural plants and the back garden is secure against would be four legged escapologists! Great communication from the owners and lovely welcome 'hamper'. Situation is brilliant for the Northumberland coast and for venturing further afield into the Scottish borders or inland towards Hadrian's wall. The station at Alnmouth is also very accessible. The best cottage we've ever stayed in!

Perfect location for exploring the many historical sites, enjoying the coastal walks and going to Kielder Forest for the day.

Some holiday homes claim to be dog friendly, Cushat House truly is home to home for them with their own welcome pack and completely safe garden. Thank you for the human welcome pack as well, especially the delicious homemade cake!! We hope to be back again and would definitely choose your home to stay.

The house was the best equipped we have stayed in, with even a dog towel, treats and throws.

It was beautifully decorated and had real welcoming feel! It was more spacious than i thought it would be, which was useful with two couples. The garden was lovely and had patio furniture which we enjoyed on the sunny days. The house is located in a quiet hamlet but only a 10 minute drive away from a retail park, with everything you could need. Many lovely places to visit close by Craster, Bamburgh, Alnwick, Seahouses and Embleton and Alnmouth. We have to visit during school holidays and would recommend getting to popular destinations before 11, to get in car parks.

Cushat House was exactly as described and more, the owners Lesley & Terry had gone way above what I expected with all the extras they had provided.

They messaged me to say the property was ready to move into and wished us safe journey home, our little yorkie Coco loved the garden which was very safe for her. This was by far the best property we have ever stayed in and would highly recommend Cushat House.

Our second visit to this wonderful house.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and the house was a large part of this enjoyment. We stayed with our family, including our 10 month old grandson and our border terriers. The house was very practical for all of us. The owners kindly provided a travel cot, stairgates and high chair. We were so happy to return and relaxed immediately. The house is immaculately clean and very well equipped. The Northumberland coast and countryside is beautiful and the house is ideally situated to explore it. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you very much for the wonderful treats for us and our dogs. We could not fault the house and would love to return again.

Cushat house is amazing the best holiday let we have stayed in .

The house is very well maintained and has everything you need , the welcome hamper’s went down a treat and was a lovely surprise. The dog loved the garden and is well kept and very secure so no escaping ! . The area is very peaceful, so if you want to relax you can but ten minutes in either direction you will be at the beach or in one of the lovely villages. We will hopefully be back one day to this beautiful house , thank you for our stay .

This is a lovely house in a quiet rural location only 10 minutes drive from the fantastic Embleton Bay.

10 minutes in the other direction is Alnwick. It is an excellent base for exploring the Northumberland coast. The house is extremely well equipped, everything you could possibly think of is provided and is in excellent condition and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Large comfy sofas for lounging about, a big kitchen and dining area and a seperate snug all make for a very comfortable break. Our dog enjoyed the fully enclosed rear garden. Our hosts were very accommodating and helpful and left us a tasty welcome pack. We will definitely go back to Cushat House next time we visit Northumberland.

This is a beautiful cottage, which is exceptionally well maintained.

We felt at home immediately and were extremely comfortable throughout our stay. There were numerous personal touches, including in the furnishings, garden, artwork, rainy-day activities, and the selection of welcome treats (which were a lovely surprise). Good communication was provided by the owners both with emails and with helpful information at the cottage. We would certainly stay here again.

This is a wonderful, well appointed, comfortable home.

We were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and a superb home made cake. Delicious! The provision of some coffee pods was really hugely appreciated. The house was pristine and we were able to relax and explore immediately. We loved the provision of throws for any dog who wanted a sofa cuddle too... so very well thought out. The beaches in the area are amazing( best dog walks!) so we will be back to explore further !! Thank you !

Amazing property with everything we needed.

A truly dog friendly property. Lovely welcome gift left by the owners.

Wow!

What a fabulous property! It had everything you could want and more, including goodies for both 2 and 4 legged visitors! Really comfy beds, spotlessly clean, we've already booked for next year!

Absolutely the best holiday property we have booked.

Comfortable, warm, welcoming, garden great for the dogs (safe and secure), and a fabulous welcome pack. One of the best equipped houses we have been in. Loved it so much we have booked it again for next year, god willing. It was about 10 minutes from Alnwick, and about 20 or so minutes from the beach.

Great property and really clean, we loved the decor and the little arrival treats which we all enjoyed.

Had an amazing week at Cushat House, which was beautiful and really well equipped.

House had everything we needed, beds were really comfortable and in a good location to view Northumberland. Terry and Lesley were great hosts, thank you for the welcome pack and information.

The mattress on the single bed was not too comfortable.

And in the main bedroom my daughter could hear every sneeze and cough from the adjoining property. I draw attention to these points in a constructive way as I could not fault Cushat House in any other way. The bedding was the most clean and fragrant I have ever encountered. Cleanliness is evident throughout and the property is tastefully decorated and well equipped. I would definitely recommend this lovely holiday house.

Cushat house is an amazing holiday home.

The owners have thought of everything for your comport .As soon as you enter the property you feel at home .It is home from home .

Cushat House was amazing.

The owners certainly did everything possible to ensure a comfortable stay in providing over and above for our stay. Wonderful. This listing deserve the highest rating possible and no less. I have booked this again for next year.

the property was extremely well stocked with everything you could possibly need for a perfect holiday, from kitchen equipment to games and reading material with all toiletries well stocked.

there was more than enough seating for a large family inside and outside. the property is very well situated to travel up and down the coast and inland. the cleanliness inside was to the very highest standard and outside was a great place to spend a sunny day

We had a wonderful stay.

The house has everything you could need. Spotless! Definitely recommend staying here and if we visit the area again, we would stay here. Thank you for a fabulous break.

Fantastic stay!

Cushat House is a beautiful property in a great location, perfect for exploring Northumberland. It has a lovely dog friendly landscaped garden and the interior is fitted to a high standard and very comfortable. The only negative comment would be the floorboards on the stairs and landing area which were quite noisy and a little annoying! That said we will be booking again!

The best holiday cottage we have stayed in, everything you wanted and more.

Thanks Lesley & Terry.

Fabulous place - everything you need & more besides Highly recommended

This was by far the best Holiday let that we have stayed in.

The facilities were over and above what we expected including welcome treats for us and the dog. The location was perfect for exploring beautiful Northumbria

Wonderful holiday at this fantastic house.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house was perfect in every way. It was equipped with everything you could need, very clean and beautifully presented. The garden was lovely and very secure for our dogs. Lesley and Terry were lovely and the welcome pack was the best that we have every recieved. It is an ideal base to visit the lovely coast or countryside around Northumberland. This was the best property that we have stayed in and felt like 'home from home ', which says it all really. Hopefully we will be back.

The Cushat House experience from booking to going home is faultless and the owners are lovely!

Everything is there for you in the property with a pet-friendly garden and the tranquil location is delightful. That was our second time at the property and with it being close to the beaches of Seahouses and Bamburgh, it is a perfect getaway.

Cushat House was just stunning.

It was so clean and comfortable. The welcome pack for both us humans and our dog were brilliant. Honestly we cannot fault the place. The kids want to move in. The area is just beautiful and we will most definitely be back. The ratings saying it's perfect really are genuine!

Absolutely beautiful house, definitely the best we have ever stayed in.

All facilities first class, a really comfortable home from home. Thank you to our hosts for their attention to detail. A lovely stay in a beautiful part of our country, which all our family, including the dog, thoroughly enjoyed.

Cushat House is a beautiful home from home.

You’ll find all you need for your stay here, including a few items not listed such as hairdryer, iron, vacuum cleaner. The property is very clean and comfortable, slept well in the comfortable bed, the only slight downside was the sofa in the television room which was a little low, the chairs are a great alternative however and there is so much space and choice of areas to relax in. The gardens are beautiful and dog friendly. The location of Cushat House could not be better, a lovely quiet hamlet with your own private parking area and just a short drive to so many beautiful beaches and castles. Friendly and helpful owners with easy and informative communication from both the owners and Sykes.

The cottage was very clean and well equipped.

It was comfortable, modern and in a lovely location. The owners were very helpful.

Lovely property and lovely stay.

By far the best dog friendly property we have stayed in, thank you.

Quite simply the best holiday cottage we've experienced in well over 20 years of UK holidays!

The owners really have thought about everything, not only in their lovely house which is warm, inviting, spacious and comfortable, but also in their personal touches such as their regular texts and emails not to mention the delicious food parcels on arrival. Sadly, we lost our dog several months ago but the welcome was there for canine companions too. Cushat House is a little bit out of the way but for car drivers it is a most wonderful base.

Great cottage with everything you need and well located to explore Northumberland and the Scottish Border.

House was spotless and the welcome pack for humans and dog very thoughtful. Back garden was lovely and safe for kids and dogs . Been before and will go again , highly recommended.

We had an absolutely brilliant week at Cushat House.

One of the best holiday houses we've had. So beautiful and clean, with everything you could need. Great location for exploring Northumberland. We all loved it. The garden is great for the kids, all the beds were comfy, we felt instantly at home.

This holiday property is superb it has everything you could think of and more We had a fantastic week .

Thanks to our hosts who have put alot of work into making it home from home.

Cushat house provided the perfect location for us to stay while we were getting married nearby.

The house is beautifully decorated, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The front and back gardens are perfect for dogs as they are a good size, are 100% enclosed and the back garden gets the sun all day long. The owners were really helpful and left some lovely home bakes in the welcome package. A really nice touch leaving a useful basket of 'stuff' for the dogs too. A lovely house that we will most definitely be coming back too.

Perfect house in every way!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cushat House.

The property is the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. Beautiful house, very well equipped, the owners have thought of everything and the house is exceptionally clean. The gardens are well laid out with seating areas and a great area for a dog to play plus be totally secure. I spoke to the owners a few times to discuss places to visit and Lesley and Terry were so helpful and all their recommendations were superb. We will definitely be recommending Cushat House to our friends as a place to stay in the lovely area of Northumberland. Thank you Lesley and Terry for making our stay so special.

The house and gardens were both beautiful and had everything we needed and more.

A wonderful base to explore the surrounding area. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Amazing property.

So clean, so much space and so well thought out. Made our holiday. Thank you.

We had a great holiday in a very thoughtfully presented cottage All of our needs had been taken care of including a wonderful welcome pack of food and Easter eggs We have stayed in other rentals and this was the best we have stayed in by a country mile!

What a wonderful find Cushat House was!

The level of thought and attention to detail that Lesley & Terry have put into the place is a real credit to them. Managing to blend relaxing homely comfort with boutique hotel touches gives an added feeling of luxury, which, when staying in a dog friendly accommodation is often sadly missing! Their thoughtfulness is outstanding, from the fabulous welcome hamper, (the likes of which we have never experienced before, was on another level) to providing absolutely everything you would need and more for a perfect holiday! We shall most definitely return, as it is also perfectly located to explore so much of wonderful Northumberland! Thank you both so much for such an amazing stay!

Cushat House was genuinely a superb property.

The hosts Lesley and Terry have provided a beautiful house in a delightful location 10 minutes drive from the stunning Embleton bay and a gentle 15 minute walk from the nearest pub. The furnishings and facilities provided are all of high quality. There is everything you need and nothing that you don't need ; there are even items provided that you didn't know you needed (luggage mats in the bedroom, foot stool in the lounge...). Enclosed well maintained gardens mean pooches or indeed children are safe to play outdoors in this quiet picturesque setting. A short drive leads you to the jaw-dropping St. Aidens beach at Seahouses or the quaint village of Alnmouth for a multitude of tasteful eateries. As for golfers, make sure your clubs are the first thing packed in the car boot as you will be spoilt for choice and value. We will without doubt be back!

Cushat House warrants a five star award for high quality furnishings and decor alone.

Fully enclosed and secure garden with excellent parking in a quiet location within a short drive to Alnwick. We really appreciated the attention to detail and the owners provided a lovely welcome pack plus decorations for our 30th wedding anniversary. We have booked with Sykes for over 20 years and this is the most impressive property yet.

Excellent, well-equipped, comfortable house.

Very quiet location and ideally located to visit the beautiful Northumberland coast.

Beautiful, spotless, amazingly well equipped house, really enjoyed our stay here and would happily return

What an amazing house!

Beautifully presented and spotless. Everything is catered for. Brilliant location. We had a wonderful holiday. The owners were lovely. Many thanks!

Absolutely beautiful house to stay in, the owners have thought of everything, highly recommend.

A perfect place to stay.

Absolutely immaculate and the owners really go out of their way to make your stay special. The welcome pack was amazing and they even bought pressies for our two boys! The house is gorgeous and the garden a lovely sun trap. Would recommend to anyone.

Great location, quiet, central location to local attractions.

Everything required inside and outside the house. Clean and COVID precautions in place. Walking distance to pub Great weather so able to use garden and BBQ.

A very well appointed cottage.

The owners very helpful and “on it” immediately if a problem occurred. Would definitely recommend this cottage.
