“The cottage was easy to find.”

It is well over a mile to the village which means driving to get supplies. There is a good car park and a secure enclosed garden where the dog is safe. The house is on a fairly busy road with fast traffic which may disturb a light sleeper. This Victorian house has been extensively modernised and is well appointed with central heating. An illuminated mirror in the bathroom would be a great improvement. ...

It is well over a mile to the village which means driving to get supplies. There is a good car park and a secure enclosed garden where the dog is safe. The house is on a fairly busy road with fast traffic which may disturb a light sleeper. This Victorian house has been extensively modernised and is well appointed with central heating. An illuminated mirror in the bathroom would be a great improvement. There are some unexpected steps to the floor in the main living/dining room which could catch the infirm/unwary. There is a great rural/coastal view from the front windows. The cottage is well placed for all the popular attractions of the area including Lindisfarne, Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses etc.

“A very well situated cottage which allowed easy access to places of interest in the area.”

( Bamburgh Castle , Holy Island ,Berwick on Tweed, Chillingham Castle , Dunstanburgh Castle , Warkworth castle ,fine beaches and the Cheviot Hills) An enclosed clean garden was great for our two dogs.) The downside to this accommodation includes proximity to a noisy fast road ,tepid water for bath despite hot water available elsewhere and no fire extinguisher for the open fire. Kits cottage added to a very successful holiday.

Very spacious, even with 5 of us plus the dog. Lovely garden area which the kids loved. Good facilities and very peaceful.

Mr Morphett August 2020

“Great cottage, peaceful location, although on a busy road that can't be helped.”

Great location, easy access to A1 and Belford village. Very clean and well maintained. Good sized garden to relax in. Plenty of space for a relaxing holiday.

“Lovely cottage, lovely location”

We stayed in Kits cottage for a week and it was lovely. Nicely decorated, very comfy beds, nice sized garden. The cottage looked a lot nicer than the photos show. Sea view from the bedrooms. A couple of minor issues were swiftly sorted by the owners who were very friendly and helpful. The location is great - Co-op in Belford itself for groceries. And perfect for Bamburgh, Holy Island, Alnwick and lovely villages further down the coast. Our first holiday with a dog and the beaches were perfect as dog friendly as were lots of the pubs and cafes. Would definitely stay again if in this area.

“Superb”

Had a lovely weekend with girlfriends at Kits Cottage. We also had the adjoining Bruno’s Bothy. Well equipped, stylishly decorated, lovely open fires and comfortable. Perfectly situated close to Bamburgh there is plenty of lovely places to explore.

“Great location for the coast.”

Good amenities in Belford both for eating and grocery shopping. Comfortable and well equipped with a good garden and dog friendly. Easy access to generous parking at the rear. The property would benefit from double glazing.

Mrs Waterman April 2019

“The lack of a washing machine could be an issue.”

There was only half a loo roll and a pint of milk when you arrive would have been welcome. We thought it would be rather cramped with 5 adults. Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay thank you.

“A beautiful cottage that was well equipped and a pleasure to stay in.”

“Fabulous cottage with lots of character, surprisingly spacious, perfect location.”

Kit's Cottage is situated a short walk outside Belford, a lovely village with excellent pubs and shops. It's close to the beach and central to many fabulous historical attractions including Holy Island and the castles of the Northumberland coastline. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and the area is completely unspoilt. The cottage itself sleeps 5 people and has been renovated to an exceptionally high standard, it is furnished beautifully. Marni, the owner is really friendly and helpful, she is available to answer any questions, advise on the area and recommend places to visit. I would highly recommend the cottage as the perfect base to explore Northumberland.

Mr Smith September 2018

“Kits Cottage is very comfortable with good facilities for self catering.”

It is particularly well located for visits to Lindisfarne, Bamburgh and Alnwick and the spectacular Northumbrian coast. We very much enjoyed our brief holiday, thank you.

- Mr Smith, September 2018
Mr Kent August 2018

“Excellent accommodation in a very good location.”

Lots to do in the area from Lindisfarne to Alnick and Seahouses for the Farne Islands. Plenty of good walks straight off the doorstep and close enough for a few pub meals out which were all good to excellent. Comfortable and clean in the cottage, so good all round.

- Mr Kent, August 2018
Ms Burnstone August 2018

“Really comfortable cottage and lovely garden and sea views.”

We knew the cottage doesn’t have a washing machine but it’d be great if they get one especially for extended stays. The owners were very helpful both before our trip and during too. We’d come back.

- Ms Burnstone, August 2018
Mrs Noble July 2018

“Kits Cottage provided a perfect base to explore Northumberland and the Borders.”

We’d booked for a week but could easily have stayed for 2 as there was so much to do. We loved the cottage. It was cosy & well furnished to meet all of our needs (family of 4 plus dog). The only thing that would make it better is a washing machine/tumble drier.

- Mrs Noble, July 2018
Miss Shackell June 2018

“Great cottage in a quiet location, with the local village around a mile away.”

The pictures do not show a garden, but the cottage has a lovely large very dog friendly one which we liked as it was safe and secure. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Lovely comfortable beds and a nice shower. The cottage also has parking for 2 cars at the rear of the property, so no squezzing the car into as all space! I would recommend to family's with dogs and children as the cottage and garden is well suited.

“Great cosy cottage”

What a lovely little cottage for us and our two dogs to explore beautiful Northumberland. Everything was there that we needed and we felt very much at home. Reviewers on Sykes Cottages who we booked with have mentioned there's no washing machine but we knew that when booking as it wasn't listed in the amenities so this really isn't an issue for us. Majority of the cottages we've stayed in haven't had washing machines. The WiFi was excellent and fast and good mobile coverage too. The double bed was really comfy and the cottage was warm and cosy, too warm in fact we had to turn the heaters down! Basics to make a drink where provided for when we arrived and the heating was on which was a nice touch as it was a cold February. The owners provided throws in the living room to get cosy on the couch which I really appreciate as it's what I do at home. We didn't try lighting the open fire as didn't really need it but I'm sure it's lovely when it's on and there was a starter pack provided. Good size very well maintained garden for the dogs to run up of a morning and last thing at night. Garden furniture also provided on a patio area, would be lovely in the summer. Dark skies at night is something really special and the skies were stunning. Cottage is situated to local supermarket in Belford which is a co-op. It could easily be walked to if you fancied not driving. There's also a chippy and some pubs in the village although we ate out in Berwick and Alnwick. We really would love to come again to this well presented cottage. Also got an email from owner explaining the WiFi password and how to access property from the back which was good to know.
