• "My parents and I absolutely loved our stay at the Secret Cottage Kingdom."

  It was the perfect peaceful retreat to unwind and recharge, with everything we could possibly need. Tucked away in a quiet spot but still incredibly close to all the main attractions, it struck the ideal balance. In just a week, we packed in so much: from Holy Island to the grandeur of Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle and the stunning Alnwick gardens, the fascinating Cragside estate, and even a boat tour around the Farne Islands—and that’s not even everything! The two en-suite bedrooms were a real bonus, making our stay extra comfortable. Every afternoon, we relaxed outside on the patio—such a lovely spot to enjoy the fresh air. Angie and Frank were great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed, always on hand if we had questions. I can recommend it to everyone and def want to return.

• "Lovely location, nice and quiet."

  A lot of thought has gone into deciding what holidaymakers will need and it has been provided. A great deal of attention to detail. Communication from the owner was spot one. The owners were present when we arrived and showed us around, nice touch. The information folder was very helpful as was the details about appliances and heating etc. The bed was very comfy as were the sofas Can fully recommend a stay at this cottage

• "We had a wonderful stay at The Secret Kingdom cottage."

  It was very tastefully decorated and the owners had thought of absolutely everything you could possibly need in the cottage. For instance, each bedroom had their own hairdryer! And the dressing table was near a plug socket which in a lot of properties, it isn’t! Anyone wanting a holiday in beautiful surroundings, staying in luxury accommodation, then I would highly recommend this property.

  The only downside was that we found the underfloor heating system complicated to operate and slow to respond on cooler days and in the evenings. We recommend that visitors attend the ‘training session’ from the owners.

  Dear Scott, Thank you so much for taking the time to complete the Sykes feedback questionnaire. We are so grateful for your positive feedback about Secret Kingdom Cottage being clean, comfortable and well located for exploring the area. Just to clarify Secret Kingdom cottage is not classified as an eco-cottage and is brick built.

• "We were met on arrival by the property owner, Angie."

  We felt, as soon as we entered, that Secret Kingdom was going to be a great place to spend our two week holiday. Even more so when we noticed a bottle of Asti Spumante, flowers and chocolates on the table that were for our pleasure and consumption. We continued to feel this way throughout our stay. The cottage is light and spacious, and is fitted with modern kitchen units. We wanted for nothing regarding cooking utensils. The bedroom had sufficient draws in which to place our clothes. There were enough hangers on which to place trousers, jackets and skirts. The bed was very comfortable for both of us. The two double bedrooms have en suite bathrooms with sink, toilet and shower with large shower head. Whilst there we slept very well. The area around is rural, so extremely quiet. The description of sea views could mean many things. I accepted we were one and half miles from the sea, so thought we might just see a bit. I was pleasantly surprised, when standing by the bi fold doors, to see a wide expanse of the North Sea beyond the tree line. Coquet Island can be clearly seen, whilst in the foreground, Warkworth Castle can be viewed. As light changes through the day, both change from silouettes to well defined structures highlighted by the afternoon, and setting sun. Landscape views stretch across fields for many miles with big skies. The patio is well equipped with rattan furniture. A table with four chairs, and two double settees. Cushions are kept in an outside cupboard. There are many brochures on a rack providing information regarding what to do and see in the area. We enjoy beach walking whilst collecting sea glass and bleached wood for crafting. Throughout our holiday we had contact with Angie when required. Her knowledge of the area is sound. This is not related to the cottage, but if you desire fish and chips once during your holiday, may I suggest the Harbour Fish and Chip shop in Amble, together with a one minute drive to the Harbour Road car park at 50p per hour to take in the harbour/sea view whilst consumption takes place. Would we return? Most definitely.

• "Description was incorrect."

  It stated the cottage was 1.5 miles out of the village. It was 2.5 miles with limited footpaths. The windows were very dirty and also the sofas were uncomfortable and not properly cleaned. This is the first time we have had to pay a bond. We did ask for an inventory but the owner said she did not have one but there would be no problem getting our money back. After 2 days on return from our holiday she contacted us stating that we would not be receiving our full £250 as we had damaged the cooker that we never used. Will not be returning. This is our first holiday with Sykes Cottages were we have had problems. Always been satisfied in the past.

  Thank you very much for your feedback. We are extremely surprised to read your comments, considering that we have been in touch directly during your stay and you have always stated that the property was perfect and you were enjoying your holiday. This is the text message we have received from you on the day you departed: "We had a lovely holiday and it was a perfect base for us to explore around Northumberland and hope to return in the future". We believe that your negative comments might be linked to the fact that we have decided to retain £20 out of your £250 good housekeeping bond due to the damage you have caused to the cooker. We are sorry to read that you dislike the Barker and Stonehouse sofas, costing £4,000; however you have not explained what you disliked about them. Regarding your comments about the windows: they are cleaned every fortnight and when we checked we too thought they needed a clean. The cause of this appears to be due to the renovation work being carried out in the cottage behind Secret Kingdom Cottage. The walk from the sleepy hamlet of Eastfield, along the countrylane, is exactly 2.2 km to the historic 14th century Toll bridge in Warkworth. There is a path which begins at 0.8km from Manor House, Eastfield. Thank you once again for choosing Secret Kingdom Cottage. Property Owner

  It had everything we needed, very well equipped and modern. The location was peaceful but within walking distance of Warkworth and it's castle and pubs. It's also handy for the coast and the very beautiful beaches. Thank you for a great holiday!
