Mr Smith
September 2020

“Great for touring around the North East”

- Mr Smith, September 2020
Mr Adam September 2020

“Comfortable and as advertised although could do with a lick of paint in living room and also not as dog friendly as we would have liked as access to the front of property was easily accessible from the rear meaning you couldn't leave the dogs unattended in case of escape to the front.”

- Mr Adam, September 2020
Mr Murphy September 2020

“There were some issues with the cleaning but I was able to discuss them with the owner and the cleaning company responded as I would wish.”

- Mr Murphy, September 2020
Mr Doig August 2020

“Good base for days out with plenty of space for us and everything we needed.”

Only gripe is that we had to clean the inside of the fridge on arrival.

- Mr Doig, August 2020
Mr Anderson August 2020

“Given the current Covid-19 requirements we felt the cleaning was not especially thorough, for example socks were found under a bed and other clothes left in a bedside drawer.”

The cottage was ok but nothing special, we have been to others that felt more homely and welcoming. For example two hanging baskets with dead flowers in were not a sign of a cared for cottage.

“IMPERSONAL”

Firstly I cannot comment on the cottage itself as due to Covid I was not allowed to visit. It is probably very nice. My experience is with the owners. They refused to refund my money for a break I was not allowed to go on. I will always book with the small independent cottage owners from now on and not someone who is only out to make money with no regard for their customers

Mr Dockerty March 2020

“Tranwell cottage was ideally situated for access to the A1 so we could get quickly to our golfing destinations.”

Close enough to Morpeth to get in and out of easily with good range of restaurants and pubs. Lovely coutryside and fantastic beaches.

- Mr Dockerty, March 2020
Mrs Whatley February 2020

“We really enjoyed our stay although we did have some initial problems getting the key safe open in the dark and pouring rain.”

We rang Sykes helpline who were really helpful and contacted the owner. He arrived very quickly and admitted the key safe had been sticking and said he would get it fixed. The cottage was lovely, warm and comfortable and we had everything we needed. My elderly parents struggled with the gate as the bolt has a very strong spring and as there was no way of latching it open to be able to drive through, it did cause some difficulties when one of us went out alone. It would have been useful to have had washing up liquid and some extra bin bags available as we had to go and buy those yet a dish cloth, sponge and hand soap were provided! The wine, dog biscuits, tea and coffee were a very kind gesture for our arrival. We would really recommend this cottage to anyone looking to visit this area as it was perfectly situated in a quiet village close to the A1 with Morpeth in easy reach and so many lovely beaches and attractions nearby such as Beamish, Cragside, Wallington and Alnwick Castle. We hope to return again in the future! Thank you again for a lovely holiday. :o)

Miss Oldfield February 2020

“Absolutely great.”

Met our needs well. Only issue was nothing to keep gate open if driving through on your own

- Miss Oldfield, February 2020
Ms Dellapina January 2020

“Lovely cottage, close to Morpeth.”

Would recommend.

- Ms Dellapina, January 2020
Mrs Doherty December 2019

“An ideal place for friends to celebrate New Year with children.”

A great safe space to run around, a fabulous open fire and perfect for daily outings to some of Northumberland's attractions. A really rural feel without the long country drive. Fab stay.

- Mrs Doherty, December 2019
Mr Roscow December 2019

“These aren't complaints, merely observations.”

It was a lovely cottage, with everything you need, except no kindling for the fire! Yes it does say a basket of logs, and that's what you get! For the amount of people you could potentially have, the washing facilities are sparse, and there's no way you could improve that, just a well regimented routine! The toilet seat downstairs doesn't really fit, and moved around alarmingly. Tried to fix it, but it wasn't possible. It was a balancing game! Benches at the table look good, but not practical for an age range of 6 to 80! Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely place and we had fun! And the location was good.

- Mr Roscow, December 2019
Ukml1066 October 2019

“Fabulous”

We stayed here for the first time with my parents this August while visiting family nearby for the summer, from New York State with my teenage children. The cottage could not have been more perfect. Loved everything about it. The cottage itself, the amenities and the location. The owners were wonderful and a little mixup at the beginning, not their fault but the fault of the booking company was resolved immediately. ( Thank you! ) We will and are definitely returning.

Rev Barham September 2019

“We had problems with the keysafe and therefore could not get in; we had to contact Sykes who were a little elusive via the numbers.”

The advice to hit it did work! There was also a gate which seemed quite pointless as there was no fence either side. We imagined it was to slow those who may otherwise go down the drive. As I am disabled I could not get out and hold it open for my husband to drive through, and it was difficult to prop open. It was not a problem when there were several of us there, but difficult for the rest of our visit. That said, the cottage was well stocked with sufficient seating for all and was light and well designed downstairs.

- Rev Barham, September 2019
Miss Scott August 2019

“Lovely area, nice private cottage tucked away with beautiful views.”

Great family stay - Sky, Netflix and lovely outdoor space with BBQ were all an added bonus! Would def recommend - thank you !

- Miss Scott, August 2019
Mr Lumley July 2019

“Delightful,well furnished,airy cottage in lovely surroundings.”

Comfortable sofas/beds and new equipment.

- Mr Lumley, July 2019
Mr Audritt July 2019

“This is a lovely cottage in an ideal location for exploring Northumberland.”

We had a great week.

- Mr Audritt, July 2019
Mr Seshan June 2019

“The entire stay was enjoyable.”

The rooms and the bathrooms were all good and bright. The linen and the beds were comfortable as well. Spacious living room. The kitchen was well equipped and we had no issues at all during the stay The only issue would be to have some clear instructions on waste segregation - it was missing in the list of instructions. Therefore we were not sure what is to be done.

- Mr Seshan, June 2019
Mrs Murray May 2019

“This cottage was perfect as a base for visiting Northumberland and Newcastle.”

Everything was in excellent condition.

- Mrs Murray, May 2019
MALA1098 April 2019

“A great place to stay and enjoy the areas of Northumberland and the North East.”

Tranwell Cottage is a great place to stay. The accommodation is very good, clean and comfortable, it is close enough to the lovely town of Morpeth which a 10 to 15 minute walk to the town centre. The cottage is very peaceful and very relaxing. Our hosts looked after everything we needed, even down to a welcome for our dog. Well Done. As a base for discovering the local area and amenities, it really is superb. You are 30 minutes from Newcastle, if it's shopping your after or there is the Quayside, with it's bars, theatres, and the Sage which is just across the river Tyne. The area is awash with historical sites, Whitley Bay and the sea front. A little further up the A1 is Lindisfarne Castle, which is spectacular. All these areas/sites are definitely worth a visit. As I said before Tranwell Cottage is a great place to stay, the accommodation is that good and meets the highest standards, it caters for all your needs and wants. So wether you decide to explore North, South or West , Tranwell Cottage is a great base to start from. I will be back to this location, it meets all my needs. Thank You. Mal and Pam.
