  • "I would like to thank Andrea personally for providing us with a great property at such short notice (1 hour) due to an error by Sykes."

    The property was great and once we’d found the dog walking paths we enjoyed the break. The welcome pack was truly appreciated. Thank you Andrea but not Sykes holidays which we won’t book with again.

  • "The location is fantastic, parking a large car was a bit tricky as inside a walled area."

    Hot water was slightly problematic went cold on 4th person so water needs leaving on but owners had left instructions. Couldn't find the pub 1 mile away but found 3, 3 miles away.owners book needs updating referring to covid. Very generous basket left. Would recommend this property and cragside a must to visit.

    It is our idea of a perfect holiday cottage.

  • "Very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed."

    Lovely big rooms, bathroom was particularly spacious. Heating was really good, because it was quite warm unfortunately we never needed to use the real fire. Ideally located for everything we wanted to see. Thanks for the welcome pack too. This was undoubtedly one of the best cottages we have stayed in. We also had a slight issue with the parking, despite parking in front of the sign saying the arches. In the end we put both cars in the bay at the front of the house which was fine. Maybe encourage people to do that in the first instance. ( in the end 2 other cars from other cottages parked along that lane so we couldn’t anyway!) Thanks for a lovely stay

    We had a fantastic week and the Arches was part of what made it so good. It was comfortable and a lovely home away from home. We would definitely like to return one day.

  • "We were confronted by the farmer on this site to be told that we could not park along side the property (in the allocated space) as this was private land."

    We managed to park in the small area in front of the property .What sad people . We would suggest you check out these lets, as we found it very distasteful.At least the weather was good.We would like some reply to this feedback.

    The Arches has a small off road parking space plus permission for one car to park on the private road which is marked by a sign. Our neighbour who owns the smallholding and road needs clear access to their property (requiring a tight turn into their drive). We advise all visitors to keep to designated parking areas to avoid any problems. Property Owner

  • "Beautiful cottage comfy bed the first time my husband hasn’t had a bad back on holiday."

    Fantastic bathroom and shower. Everything you need is provided the gift bag of goodies was highly appreciated. Only wish would be if the garden was gated so our doggy could go in the garden without her lead . Best cottage we have ever stayed in. Hoping to return again . Also found a lovely pub in Belford The Salmon lovely staff and delicious food.

  • "We enjoyed our stay at The Arches."

    It was very clean and the welcome pack was appreciated. On a very small note, there was no visitors book - which always makes interesting reading, and it felt that things hadn’t been updated since Covid restrictions. Other than that we had a good stay. Thank you.

  • "Yes. Liked the cottage & location for the isolation."

    Pity not an enclosed garden as dog didn’t get any freedom. Thought the bathroom was good but a pity it was very short on drying space for towels. Needed a bigger towel rail. Think bathroom potentially an issue for older visitors as no rail to hold on to. Thought the settee & Room carpet a bit tired. Whilst I slept ok daughter thought middle bed not great. Cut my hand drying kitchen spoon. Dodgy handle with metal sticking out! Told Sykes about leak from valley gutter but no acknowledgement. Probably needs looking at - might just be leaf / debris blocking it but had a steady leak coming into bathroom.

    Excellent Beautiful coastline, stunning beaches, lovely evening skies, great seafood ?

  • "The property was very clean, warm, quiet, spacious and inviting."

    The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, cutlery etc, which is often not the case. The inclusion of things like tinfoil, washup liquid, dishwasher tablets, cling film etc were very helpful and was much appreciated, made a big difference for self-caterers and avoids having to get those basics in. Very well situated for exploring the area and also for walks from the door.

  • "We loved this property."

    It's very well situated for exploring this wonderful coast. Close to Bamburgh and several good restaurants. The property was warm and welcoming and very well equipped. Two very good sized double bedrooms with plenty of storage and a single room with equally good storage. Just a stones throw away was the wonderful Budle Bay - a bird watchers delight. Will definitely like to vist again.

Where you’ll be staying

BAMBURGH

Seahouses 3.5 miles; Beadnell 5.1 miles; Alnwick 16.9 miles.

The village’s sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and dominates this part of the county’s coastline. Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Although overshadowed by the great castle, Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.
