One on the nicest cottages we have ever stayed in plus everything you could think of if you wanted to cook full meals was provided

- Mrs Gristock, September 2019

Would go back again without hesistation.

- Mr Bailey, August 2019
“The cottage was in an excellent location for visiting both the coast and inland attractions of Northumbria.”

It was very well equipped and the cleanliness was exceptional. The owners had provided a very good goodies basket on arrival that made us feel very welcome. Cobblestones was one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in.

- Mrs Cunningham, July 2019
“We have holidayed in Sykes cottages for a number of years now, and this cottage is probably the best we have stayed in.”

Very comfortable, well equipped and with regard to location, very good being situated less than 5 minutes from the A1 trunk road. One small point, a larger screen TV would be an advantage!

- Mr Berridge, June 2019
“Cobblestones is in an excellent position to drive to the coast at Alnmouth and on up to Bamburgh, and also gives easy access to inland towns such as Alnwick and Rothbury and further afield.”

The cottage is very clean, well equipped and pleasant, and has a lovely garden. We enjoyed the very generous welcome pack and the lovely toiletries and found the beds comfortable. We hope to come again

- Mrs Bennett, June 2019
“A lovely comfortable cottage with everything you need.”

So quiet and very peaceful and so much to do in the area,could have spent longer so hopefully we will go back. The coffee shop in the next village sold great takeaway deserts and pies. The cottage has a lovely private garden,

- Mrs Smithson, June 2019
“Gorgeous cottage in excellent condition with many luxurious touches.”

- Mrs Saker, May 2019
“This was the best Sykes cottage we have stayed in and we have rented quite a few over the years.”

It was a lovely holiday!

- Mr Waterworth, May 2019
“'Cobblestones' was presented to a very high standard.”

It was cosy and had a lovely homely feel. It was perfect for access to the A1 and near to so many interesting places such as Cragside (National Trust) which was the most fascinating place set in spectacular scenery, Bamburgh Castle and the coastal setting was breathtaking, Warkworth Castle and it's many rooms on different levels was amazing (English Heritage) and Alnwick town was an absolute delight, quirky and with so many independently owned traditional shops -- cheesemonger, butcher, bakers, clothing and Barter Books is not to missed. After long days out exploring, 'Cobblestones' was the perfect place to return to relaxing in the beautiful, well-maintained gardens or sitting in the sun room watching the birds. On arrival there was a large welcome tray with plenty of 'goodies' and milk and butter in the fridge -- everything you need for that first 'cuppa'. The area is very quiet despite being close to the A1 and there is a pub and restaurant within walking distance. There are no shops nearby, but there several supermarkets and lots of independent shops in Alnwick (under 20 minutes by car) you can't go wrong. 'Cobblestones' is the perfect place to stay for a wonderful time in Northumberland.

- Mrs Dawes, May 2019
“The cottage was the best cottage we have stayed in just like home from home.”

Nice and warm and a great woodburner. Comfy beds nice and clean great private gardens nice and quiet at night.A great pub less than 5 minutes walk. A lovely welcome pack and milk in the fridge.

- Mr Curwen, March 2019
“Cobblestones was wonderful, made especially so by Colin and Margaret's attention to detail.”

They left us a superb 'welcome pack' full of practical basics but also some little luxuries, and individual toiletries which gave it a real hotel feel. The cottage was beautiful, beds were comfy and it was spotlessly clean. The location was brilliant as a base to explore the region and the small village was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely return next year.

- Miss Heald, July 2018
“Great cottage every thing we wanted will go back again perfect location for a holiday.”

- Mr Robinson, July 2018
“The cottage was superb and very well appointed with all modern conveniences.”

There was a Welcome Pack which included milk, butter, tea and coffee and crisps and biscuits, which was a godsend after a long drive. The garden was lovely and there was a very welcoming pub with a great restaurant 100 yards from the door.The village was ideally situated for visiting all the places we wanted to see, such as Lindisfarne, Sea Houses, Bamborough and Alnwick, as well as the Kielder Forest and Observatory. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we will be going back again.

- Mr Lain, June 2018
“The Cottage met all expectations.”

It was extremely well-appointed and spotless. It is convenient for the coast and inland attractions. Will certainly use again!

- Mr Shaw, May 2018
“Cobblestones is a beautifully appointed property, comfortable, warm and welcoming.”

Margaret and Colin have given a huge amount of thought to providing everything you could possibly need for great holiday. The welcome pack is exceptional as are the toiletries. We wanted for nothing.

- Mr Eagle, April 2018
“A 5* property in a perfect location.”

Had a wonderful week staying at Cobblestones in Newton on the Moor in Northumberland. The cottage is immaculate inside and out. It is newly and tastefully decorated to a high standard and well equipped. The owners were extremely helpful and left a lovely welcome pack of toiletries and home baked goods which was most appreciated. The cottage is in a perfect location to enjoy what Northumberland has to offer, and only a few miles from the towns of Alnwick and Morpeth. We will definately be returning for another break very soon!
