"The views from the apartment are spectacular, couldn’t be bettered."
The apartment is pretty spectacular too, very modern, comfortable and well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay. On the other hand, dealing with Sykes Cottages was less than spectacular. Twice I asked for additional information about the apartment (the no-dogs policy and the availability of secure storage for bikes) and on both occasions my initial requests were seemingly ignored. It was only after I persisted that I eventually got Sykes to contact the owners to ask for me. Once they did that I got the information I needed in a timely fashion. If I was the owner I’d ditch Sykes for someone else who actually bothers with customer service.

"The property is amazing, well equipped and in a fantastic location."
It is comfortable, very clean, good quality fixtures and fittings and has amazing sea and harbour views. A TV in the small bedroom would be good as the other 2 bedrooms have 1, it could sit on top of the chest of drawers. A mirror is needed in the downstairs en-suite and a check that all electrical sockets, equipment and heating is working regularly would be good as we did have to make a call to report the cooker hood, some electric sockets and heating not working and that the front door handle inside was very loose. These are minor things and in no way impacted on us as they were dealt with in a timely manner. We absolutely loved the property and would recommend it to anyone. A place we would definitely return to.

"Beautiful well-equipped home with stunning views."
Would recommend just a couple of issues. Patio area was unusable as very dirty and lots of metal scraps on the ground which I tried to pick up.Definitely not suitable for our 3 year old to play. No garage fob when we arrived and although Northumbria cottages provided a replacement when they were next open still could not open door. Needed garage storage for expensive bikes. Few DIY jobs need doing.eg loose toilet seats, door handles, stair rail, blinds.
Thank you for leaving a review. We really appreciate you taking the time to do so. We are sorry there were maintenance issues that meant the flat was not as comfortable for you as it should have been. In particular we are sorry you were not able to get into the garage. This must have been frustrating. We have asked our maintenance team to address these issues.

"The house was immaculate with a lovely position overlooking the harbour."
The only negative point was the accumulation of bird droppings and weeds on the first and third balconies. I think they should be cleaned prior to change over as I accept there will be the occasional bird droppings being close to the sea
Thank you for taking the time to review our flat. We are pleased you liked our flat. We have spoken to our maintenance team and suggested the balconies are cleaned more regularly. We are really sorry the bird droppings meant your stay was less comfortable than it should have been.

"Parking slight issue, if you can’t fit car in garage you park over neighbour’s garage, however a permit was provided for local car park which helped."
Problem with intermittent smell from utility room.
These minor issues to our enjoyment of this spectacular property.
Thank you for taking the time to review our flat. Feedback is really appreciated. The garage is a bit on the small side and intended only for bikes etc. There is usually plenty of parking in the yard, but not always directly outside the front door. We are sorry to hear this wasn’t the case during your stay. The nearby car park is just across the road and is very large. Also, the car park pass we provide is valid for all Northumberland car parks so useful for day trips in the area as well.

"Lovely 3 floor property situated in an excellent position and finished to a really high standard."
Dishwasher was an unexpected and welcome bonus! So nice to have really comfortable furniture and beds. The outside areas all have spectacular views across to the Islands and Bamburgh and the picture window in the living room made sunset watches a delight. With 4 adults there was plenty of space. Easy access to shops and restaurants.
Had a wonderful stay and would hope to come back soon.
Dear Karen. Thank you for such lovely comments about our flat. We are delighted you enjoyed our property so much and had such a wonderful stay in gorgeous Northumberland. Sarah and Chris

"Fabulous accommodation and location."
Third floor bedroom is lovely with great views over Bamburgh castle and the sea. Seahouses is a lovely little town with daily trips by boat to the Farne Isles and fabulous walks on the beach. Bamburgh castle is well worth a visit and we saw Dolphins out at sea from there. The property is well equipped. One of the ground floor bedrooms that is not en-suite is a bit small and would be better for bunk beds for kids rather than another adult although we didn't have any issues with this. The entrance to the property via a key box was a bit of a faff and the instructions on entry to the property were unclear. We would suggest that the number of the property rather than the name is provided since this is what is given on the entry key pads to outside doors. We had a wonderful week's stay.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate it. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and delighted you saw dolphins. We still haven’t seen any on our visits so you were very lucky. We also welcome your suggestions about how it could be easier to find the front door as it’s not immediately obvious.

"Apartment, really good, thoroughly enjoyed the property, views great."
Like all property there's usually the odd thing that pops,up. Utility room toilet, middle floor, I think they could be a drain problem, bad smell, in there.
Kitchen, bin didn't work, but no big deal, and the electric blinds didn't work, and again no problem. Apart from that everything fantastic.
Dear David. We were delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful views from our flat and that you found it such a lovely place to stay. We really appreciate your feedback about the minor teething problems and hence the opportunity to deal with them promptly for our future guests. Thank you again.
