“THE SOFA AND CARPETS NEEDS REPLACED,THE TWO FRYING PANS NEED PUT IN THE BIN,AND WHO EVER PUT THE SKIRTING BOARDS ON FORGOT TO FINISH THE JOB.”

I KNOW THIS IS POPULAR HOLIDAY COTTAGE BUT IT NEEDS ATTENTION NOW.

I KNOW THIS IS POPULAR HOLIDAY COTTAGE BUT IT NEEDS ATTENTION NOW.

Thank you for your feedback. The pans have been changed, the sofa and carpets are fine and will be deep cleaned. I have looked around all the skirting boards and I cannot see where you are referring to as all seem to be fine and secure. Kind regards, - Sykes owner relations

“Firstly there was not enough parking facilities for 6 people.”

The property stated off-road parking but it accommodated one car only. Morpeth has a disk system of parking which seemed to dominate our stay for the other car users. Although there was all day/night parking nearby we hadn't realised that during the weekday these spaces were occupied by people working in the town centre so when we tried parking there, all spaces were taken. The ensuite shower room was very cramped - the beds were uncomfortable and the carpets were shabby. The kitchen was fine but lacked a set of sharp knives. We celebrated my husband's 70th birthday as a family there and there were 2 plastic flutes - we had to go and buy 6 champagne glasses. There were 5 side plates for 6 people and only 4 egg cups. We had substantial rain one night and the poor design of the upstairs velux type bedroom windows meant that if left open the rain would have saturated the beds. There was therefore little air in the rooms and my daughter was concerned about her young baby getting over heated. Fans need to be made available upstairs in the warm weather. The main positive point about Dacre Cottage is its ideal location.

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate and value your comments and will look to take action on them. We will be looking to replace the flooring in the cottage in the near future. Sykes owner relations

“We had a great time at Dacre Cottage.”

The location is perfect, with easy access to everything in Morpeth, including parking. The bedrooms and kitchen are all a great size and, as an added bonus, the water pressure in the shower is amazing! We had an issue with the dryer but Jim and Cath had the repairman out first thing the next morning and had it repaired immediately. We’ll definitely be staying there our next trip.
Mr Radford February 2019

“Lovely Cottage in perfect location to look around Morpeth.”

The Kitchen was really a really good standard and well equipped. The beds are lovely and comfy. The only thing I would say is that the living room furniture may need updated as they weren’t the comfiest to relax on. Think if they were updated it would make it a really comfy and cosy cottage. If we ever visit Morpeth again we would look to stay here!

“Only one small complaint, more of a suggestion for future guests.”

Don,t park on the drive by the house. when the workman are working on the building, next door. We left our car there, to go into Newcastle by bus, and came back to find it covered in pieces of cement, and dust from the building work. These have had to be carefully cleaned off so as not to cause scratching and a repolish of the vehicle. Plus they start work at 8am,so anyone wanting a lie in may have a problem.Perhaps while the work is going on a word of warning would be helpfull, to future guests. Otherwise the cottage was fine, and we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your comments. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. The building work you mentioned was due to an extension that was being built at the property next door. The work was completed in June. We hope to welcome you back to the cottage in the future. Sykes owner relations

“Our holiday was very enjoyable due to the lovely cottage central in Morpeth very easy to find But ii know Morpeth as my Dad was born there.”

Kitchen was great every thing u could want . Wood burner was very nice at night and we got more logs from Home bargains in bus station square next to Next. Plenty to do around . Bake house cafe up aley opp Alans very well worth a visit or two. I love Northumberland now live in Yorkshire but this still home. Will be back for a visit to cottage if Jim has a slot next yeaqr Thank u for letting us have your lovely cottage Dorothy and Jim x

“Dacre Cottage was extremely comfortable with excellent facilities and ideal location.”

The parking facility was an added bonus. Will go again.

“Exellent cottage very comfy beds great location would go back next year hopefully”
Mrs James May 2018

“An excellently appointed cottage, very comfortable.”

The cottage is well positioned in the middle of Morpeth which is a lovely town. We visited many of the local attractions such as the beaches, Cragside and Holy Island. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage and the area.
Ms Carroll April 2018

“The accommodation was excellent but unfortunately there was a step from the kitchen and a step in the shower/toilet room.”

I book the accommodation as it listed ground floor bed room and shower/toilet room as I was accompanied by by 95 year old aunt who at her home is fully independent but has mobility problem and is registered blind. Saying that she did enjoy her stay with care and flexibility on our part.as did I.
Mrs Holmes March 2018

“It was a perfect holiday cottage, very warm and cosy, with all amenities one could wish for.”

Safe, with outdoor street lighting throughout the night, and gated yard to park the car. Located in town, next to the bus station and shops and lovely walks with my two little dogs in the nearby riverside park, through the old historic town of Morpeth. Located within easy distance of the Northumberland coast for frequent trips to the seaside and walks on the beach. Importantly for me, being on my own, I wasn't isolated. Thank you.
Mrs Bell February 2018

“Perfect location .”

“Like being at home”

I can't rate my stay highly enough, it was pretty much perfect. Everything you could possibly need was in the Cottage. It is perfectly situated in the centre of Morpeth within walking distance of everything. The service provided by Sykes Holiday Cottages and also the owners was second to none, friendly, efficient and simple. I highly recommend it and would stay there again without a second thought.

“it was excellent”

The cottage was first class, everything in it to make our stay very enjoyable. We had meals out every night at the local restaurants all within walking distance of the cottage. The bus depot and train station were also very handy

“Comfortable cottage next to excellent town centre amenities”

Compact cottage with feeling of spaciousness due to bedrooms on both levels. Well fitted and easy to use kitchen. Off road parking very good for a town centre location - care needed on entry and exit with a larger car. Beds good but some bedroom furniture could be better. "Garden" mostly paved patio - plenty dog walking in nearby streets, parks and riverside walks. Sun trap to rear of property. Gates should prevent small children running out onto roads. Bathroom good but downstairs shower has step up and entry may be awkward for less able. Roof windows need closing when raining. Homely feeling in a busy country town of character which is a good centre for visiting the region. No major disadvantages.

“Just what we wanted.”

As we had no transport we needed somewhere near the train and bus station and shops near by and this cottage gave us everything we needed.Lovely warm place with log burner for those chilly evenings and though it was in the middle of town it was very quiet in the cottage.The lady that owned the cottage was so nice,nothing was too much trouble.

“Ideal location”

Great cottage in middle of town and so close to amenities. Makes a nice change being able to walk to the shops. Friendly owners and hassle free trip. Shame the parking spot took up most of the outside enclosed space but we were able to still sit outside.
A FlipKey verified reviewer September 2012

“Fantastic”

Close to everything, owners are just wonderful, will surely be back, and would reccomend this Cottage to anyone. Loved it.

“Very well equipped cottage in superb location.”

Very well equipped cottage in superb location, but parking only possible for a very small car.

“Great stay in Morpeth”

Comfortable cottage right in the centre of Morpeth and convenient for shopping, bus station, eating places and a lovely park to walk the dog. Nice woodburning stove/ fire in front room, only downside to cottage is third converted bedroom downstairs. We loved Morpeth and the friendliness of the people and everthing about this upmarket market town. Also well positioned for Newcastle and the coast.
A FlipKey verified reviewer December 2009

“Fabulous cottage”

What a fabulous cottage in a brilliant location. Ideal base to get out an about in the North East, within easy reach of Alnwick and Newcastle. The cottage had everything you could wish for and more. A kitchen to die for with everything you could ever want in it, off road parking, close reach of all shops including Morrisons, bus station literally on your door step with great bus services to all around the area. Fabulous town centre, and you are in the very heart of it. I expected a small town but it really was much bigger than I expected and they are even building a brand new Marks and Spencer which will be open now. Very clean and tidy property and very spacious. Loved the loft bedrooms, but missed a shower up there. There is a bath but not even a hand shower which would have been useful. We have already booked again for next year and I can't wait to go again.
A FlipKey verified reviewer December 2009

“Excellent”

As we visit Northumberland every year to see various relatives in Bedlington we found the location of this cottage, in the beautiful market town of Morpeth, ideal. The facilities were very good, particularly the downstairs bedroom and shower room for my elderly father. Only 2 slight niggles, the cottage could do with a more comfortable armchair as my father has difficulty in getting in and out of chairs. Also the TV is not very good, the reception is bad at times and we could not get all the freeview channels and my father likes to spend time in the cottage watching the TV as he did not feel like going out every day. We definately intend to book this cottage again next year.
