• "We booked from the 15th-19th April 25."

  We found the property, clean, airy, and well presented. A short walk to Beadnell beach and a short drive to Seahouses. Enclosed garden was ideal for the dogs. The artificial grass was a great touch. 4 large bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all the equipment needed to cook meals for us all. Shower and bathrooms were ideal. Plenty af towels provided. We had a fantastic time for our first visit to Northumberland and this Sykes cottage made to stay more memorable for all the right reasons. We would certainly look to book again and would recommend this property without hesitation. Thanks, Stu, Jo and family.

  Thank you for your lovely comments. This is a much loved home we trust Sykes to look after and as dog owners ourselves we like to keep it doggy (and children!) safe. You are more than welcome back. Property Owner

• "I had to weed the fake grass before we could use it."

  The parking space was inadequate for 2 cars. The downstairs furniture was old and tired with uncomfortable sofa and chairs and a sticky table that place mats stuck to. The welcome pack was paltry for 8 people.

  The artificial grass is treated with an organic weedkiller as we wouldn't want guests, their children or their dogs to come into contact with harsh chemicals. This treatment went down 21 June and is supposed to last 8 weeks but obviously Nature will have her way. The parking spaces immediately outside the front door have accommodated 2 Landrover Discoveries and there are no yellow lines outside the property and the parking on the grass verge immediately opposite. We have had 4 cars parked up without a problem. Most of the furniture is from Barker & Stonehouse purchased new in 2016, the sofa is distressed leather. A sticky (solid inlaid wood) table is easily wiped down. The welcome pack is standard Sykes - it is meant to tide you over until you provide your own goods and groceries as this is a self catering property. There is a contact number in the welcome book if you found the property to be so unpleasant you could have asked to be relocated. Property Owner

  Short walk to the beach which is well suited again for the dog,s. Good base to plan days out and about,we were a group family of seven plus 3 Dog,s all very pleased with our stay, Down stairs loo which was a blessing for the 92yr old father inlaw. Would book again if a larger group family visit.

• "This is a nice property in a beautiful setting and it met the requirements for our family holiday."

  The accommodation was comfortable and well appointed. However, it does feel like it is lacking in some TLC. There were multiple weeds growing through the artificial grass, the top drawer in the bedside cabinet of the twin room was full of rubbish, the plinth near the kettle has never been repaired. If we’d have paid half the price, we might not have worried, but it felt like a premium price, for a not so premium product. We were without hot water for 36 hours, however, when the repair man arrived he was amazing. Knew exactly what the problem was and fixed it very quickly and efficiently. Overall, it was a lovely stay, but I think it needs to be given a bit more love if the owners carry on charging these prices.

  Really sorry to hear this. To be without hot water for this length of time is unacceptable. We hope everyone enjoys their stays at Farne Cottage it's our happy place. Any problems for clients staying please contact NC&CC LTD on the day, the number is in the info pack in Farne Cottage, they are our agency to correct problems during your stay. The drawer full of rubbish should have been spotted by the cleaners. Property Owner

• "The cottage location and layout is lovely."

  The facilities are also good. The bedrooms are large and spacious. The back garden is fully enclosed and good for dogs. There are lots of beautiful beaches nearby. Beadnell is lovely for beach walks. The house has fabulous views of the sea. Attention is needed to the soft furnishings in the house, they are dirty and stained. The cushions on the settee, the cushion on the bench in the utility and the curtains in the main bedroom all need cleaning. In addition the carpets upstairs need cleaning. Thanks

  Thank you for bringing our attention your problems with our holiday home. The curtains are, as I type, being dry cleaned. They are full length opening onto a bifolding door and a sliding door which means they are in contact in and out of the property with our guests and sometimes the weather if the door is not closed properly. Soft furnishings are cleaned regularly the cushion covers are at least every 2 months more if necessary. This is a holiday home and, we cannot dictate that our guests have to enter and exist via the bootroom to avoid sand and mud on their boots. This is dealt with by the cleaners. The bespoke cover on the bench has a couple of marks that despite several cleans have not come out. They are less than 2 inches. The mat in front of the front door was brand new 7th January 2023. The carpets and rugs were last cleaned 14th January 2023. We found only one stain on the carpets in the main bedroom. This is if you like an acceptable occurrence. Sometimes our guests have spills like anyone in their homes. The cleaners do their best and do a grand job. If you found our property unacceptable you should have contacted NC&CC and asked to be relocated. Property Owner

  Had a great holiday but whilst majority of house was clean there was significant dust/dog hair on rugs and stairs which required a couple of vacuums to sort

  The property had everything that we needed - with the exception of a potato peeler and a set of small measuring scales - for everyone for Christmas. Would definitely recommend it and we will be back.

• "Our family stayed at Farne Cottage over the New Year and we had an excellent stay."

  The cottage provided everything we needed. The cottage was spotless when we arrived. We've never been to Beadnell before, it was a lovely village and very close to a lot of places. We took our dogs to the beach at Beadnell and they loved it. We will definitely return.
