"We had a really lovely family holiday."
Quite frankly everything was fantastic. The only point we would make is to make it clearer to holidaymakers to put the bins out. They were both nearly full when we arrived as obviously the last occupants had not done this. We did put out the one bin required in our stay but the recycling ♻️ bin was completely full when we left as it had not been emptied the previous week. Overall a fantastic experience.

"The cottage was very special, with bags of room, the huge ammount of DVD's was great for lazy evenings after walking the beach all day, which was right on the doorstep."

"Wonderful house!"
So comfortable and well set out.
Excellent equipment in the kitchen.
A lovely week.
There is no door for the kitchen but blankets are provided to put on the settees - which I was a great idea as we we tried barricading the dogs in the kitchen at night and it didn't work. We then put chairs on the settees - that worked!

"House freezing cold on arrival, did not get warm until the day after as storage heaters set as low as possible, not a good start to the holiday or a welcome one ,worked for 2 days then heating went off again phoned Sykes maintenance came and fetched 2 oil filled radiators one worked the other barely got warm , had to go out and buy logs not even any kindling in the house to light a fire a basket full of papers tho ,it’s a shame as the house is in a lovely part of Bamburgh and quiet apart from that we enjoyed our holiday ."

"A beauitful spacious cottage, that we very quickly felt comfortable in."
Fully equiped kitchen with every pot, pan, utensil you need. The bedrooms were comfortable and everyone reported a good nights sleep. The bathrooms are excellent. The garden was perfect for our dog, she enjoyed many a sunny day out there.
Only negative, on arrival we could not find the cottage handbook which caused some frustration because we had no idea how to open the back doors, wifi (wifi is important as there is no mobile phone reception) etc it was only by chance I found it under a bag of kindling and newspapers by the fireplace.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would have loved to book again for next year but it is already fully booked for 2025.

"Great cottage in a great location."
It was clean and well equipped and had everything we needed. We stayed here years ago and it has been updated since then with new bathrooms and kitchen. The space is great for families to share. The only issue we had was we couldn’t find a clothes horse anywhere which was a pain when doing washing and it was rainy outside. Eventually found it under one of the kids beds, but only by chance when looking for a lost teddy!
Overall a great stay and I’m sure we’ll be back.

"Lovely cottage very spacious and comfortable."
Just a sort stroll to the castle, beach and village.
Had a small problem with the heating system but this was sorted extremely promptly.
Just missed a few little things such as kitchen equipment when cooking for a large family.
Would certainly stay again.

"This is the third year we have stayed in this delightful well situated cottage and we have loved our holidays there."
Unfortunately the capacity is being reduced for the next booking season so, as a family of ten, we will have to look elsewhere, I would recommend this cottage to anyone who would love to see this beautiful area at it's best.

"Very spacious property in a great location for exploring the beauty of Northumberland."
10 mins walk from Bamburgh village and of course the magnificent castle. A short walk though sand dunes onto a glorious beach. Short drive or just over half hour walk into Seahouses for supermarket etc.
Only negative with this property was the cleanliness. Surfaces were sticky and we had to wipe down on arrival, Under and at the back of beds looked like they hadn’t seen a hoover or duster for quite a while.

"Lovely location, perfect family break in a generally nice property."
The main comment is that the hot water system in the cottage needs some investment and upgrading. There is only enough hot water to run one bath, and we ended up sharing baths after the children because otherwise the water runs cold and the one electric shower isn't very strong or adequate if the cottage is full. I actually went to the leisure centre mid week and washed my hair there. Also, a toy / games chest would have been nice as well as all the DVDs.
Thank you so much for your feedback – it’s great to hear that you had a lovely family holiday. We have since upgraded the system and added a new timer along with an extra boost which is making a big difference. We hope this didn’t impact your stay too much.

"This was our first holiday with our children and grandchildren so the house and location were perfect."
The downstairs space is great. We liked the kitchen layout and the doors from kitchen and conservatory made easy access to the garden. The family room upstairs provided the ideal place for the children to play. It is a very well equipped property too. We were all very comfortable.
