• "What a lovely little gem!"

  The owners were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation size was perfect for our requirements; the use of space was maximised and everything we could have needed for our stay was supplied. It was about a 1 mile walk into Seahouses and there was lots to see and do in the surrounding area eg. Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick, Holy Island, Berwick, and even Eyemouth in Scotland which is only about 30 miles away. Thank you!

  Thanks for your great review. so pleased you enjoyed your stay and also that you enjoyed the surrounding area. Property Owner

• "Lovely accommodation in a nice quiet area but not far from amenities."

  It was nice to have a garden for our small dog with table and chairs for us to enjoy outside. Only thing I would probably do is take a couple of my own bath towels as 2 bath towels for a week’s holiday was not enough . It was a lovely comfortable place to stay

  So glad you enjoyed your stay and the little garden area too. Property Owner

• "The Nook is beautiful."

  Situated on a quiet estate one mile walk from Seahouses and on all main bus routes. Lots of great walks on the doorstep too. The Nook was spotless, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host was friendly and helpful and it was good to know she was around in case we needed anything. Can’t recommend enough and we will most definitely return.

  Hi Chloe Thanks for your lovely comments. It is good to know you really enjoyed your stay and that you would like to return again. It would be great to have you. back. Property Owner

• "Ideally situated less than a mile from the centre of Seahouses."

  Bright, warm and cosy. Small garden to sit in which gets the sun into the evening. Friendly owners, just the ticket. Would definitely recommend.

  Thanks very much for your kind comments. I am happy you enjoyed your stay in the Nook. Property Owner

• "Great little place The Nook ."

  Nicely nestled in a private spot , nice owners that left us to ourselves and wasn't intrusive. The Nook has everything you could want and is a great place for a couple. Not too far from Seahouses centre . Seahouses itself was lovely , lots to do and see. Real nice retreat . A guest book might be a good idea .

  Thanks for the positive feedback and the lovely card you left. we used to have a guest book in the Nook but took it out in the Covid era. Pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "Lovely quiet location about 15 minutes walk to Seahouses which has some lovely restaurants and scenery is fabulous."

  Property itself well designed, very clean, with all facilities we needed although I’d say that while we like a king sized bed it is a little too large for the bedroom. The small garden area was ideal to take advantage of the sunny weather. Had an issue with lock on bathroom door but promptly resolved by owners. Our favourite restaurant was the Black Swan where we had couple of lovely meals.

• "Absolutely lovely property!"

  ! Excellently designed to make good use of space, and provided us with everything we needed for a perfect break. Daisy dog enjoyed the doggie treats and exploring the garden, we enjoyed the biscuits and tea/coffee, thank you. An excellent base to explore the stunning Northumberland coastline by car…and we also enjoyed the walk into Seahouses and down the lane to the beach. We will certainly stay with you again!

  Thanks for the great review. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay in our little holiday home and that Daisy enjoyed it too. Property Owner

• "The Nook was everything we expected ."

  It had everything we needed and was handy for Seahouses and the beach for walking our little Jack Russell dog . Obviously a lot of thought and creativity has gone into setting up the Nook to maximise the available space . The small secure garden was also good as we had excellent weather and used the garden and it's chairs every day . We are both on our late 70's and agreed it was one of the nicest places we have stayed in many years of holidays in the UK. Thank you Jacky for the use of The Nook and all being well would love to stay there again. Chris and Eileen Mitchell.

  Thanks to you both for your great feedback. It is lovely to hear that you enjoyed your time in the Nook. Property Owner

• "Nice well kept property."

  Friendly owners. Being nit picking alittle on the small size but not a major detriment. Seahouses is a nice area with magnificent beaches.

• "A well designed layout and has everything you might need."

  A mile from the beach andtown with pubs, shops and restaurants galore, it’s a very pleasant walk. The owner welcomes you on arrival and then leaves you to enjoy your holiday unless you need anything which we didn’t . I gave 4 for comfort not 5 because although the bed was very comfy we found the pillows hard. We would definitely go there again.

  Quiet location easy access to village/beach/ shops/cafes. Bonus to have proper off road parking, and a small secure garden for the dog. Good location for accessing boat trips/Bamburgh Castle/Farne Islands.

  Pot luck if tv would pick a signal up once it had been put on standby, hosts very nice and friendly, nice touch with the treats for dog and bottle of vino chilled in fridge

• "This is a lovely little haven from which to explore Northumbria."

  It has obviously been designed with great care. Loved the doggy welcome pack! Also a great idea to have a small enclosed area outside for a dog to play. Shower is great, bed very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you might need. Bottle of wine a lovely touch. However we spent 90 minutes trying to get the TV to work and then had to ring the owner who was in Majorca. They found a very kind neighbour who came round and after about 40 more minutes did manage to get the TV to work. The next day we also had problems but remembering what he had done we were able to get it on. It would be good to have correct very simple instructions plus the phone number of someone local who could help. Fire was also difficult to start and we couldn’t see how to do it. Fortunately the weather was glorious!

• "Had a lovely stay at the Nook, it is a converted double garage on a house drive."

  No problems with access or noise, very small garden but sunny and provided with table, chairs and deckchairs. Bedding and towels spotless, bed very comfy, bathroom with walk in shower great. An update on everyday cutlery and TV would be appreciated by guests.

• "Hello, With reference to our holiday."

  We arrived on Friday afternoon. There was no reception but instructions had been left in the “cottage.” After reading them we noticed that the TV and fan heater did not work and there was no contact number for assistance. The Nook is actually a converted garage composed of a kitchen- diner, bathroom and bedroom. The double bed in place was too big for the room, with very little space for passage around the sides against the walls. The local hotel which is advertised as open to non-residents for restaurant and bar is now only a B&B with no facilities for non-residents. After investigating further options we decided to leave and did so on Tuesday morning, to avoid the Bank Holiday traffic. The whole holiday has been a disaster, the accommodation and feeding facilities are of no use to an elderly couple such as ourselves and I will definitely not be using Sykes Holidays again.

• "The Nook is extremely comfortable."

  Super shower, comfortable bed, excellent kitchen facilities and a little sheltered garden with some deck chairs for those days when you need a rest. There was a welcome pack of basics and some wine. I needed peace and wuiettto get some work done but it is well positioned for exploring the coast and sights- Bamborough and Holy Island. Cannot recommend highly enough

• "A lovely property, a great idea converting the garage to a holiday let."

  We arrived late, but hosts were there to greet us and answer any questions. The bottle of wine was greatly appreciated, as were the other little extras. The bed was so comfy and we slept well. The cottage is very well equipped and although we didn’t use it, we really liked the small garden, perfect to sit out in the evening.

• "Excellent accommodation brilliantly equipped."

  Everything you could possibly need. A lovely touch on arrival were the bikkies and bottle of wine. Small yet great use of all the space. Room for everything. Absolutely perfect for a couple. Just outside Seahouses about a 20minute walk to the centre if the wind is not blowing a hooley! Thoroughly recommend.

  Having said that it was tastefully converted, very clean with everything you needed. Plus a nice little garden which was a real sun trap. Note. The underside of the tv gets very hot when the wall heater is on full.
