“We have just returned from a few nights stay In Tenter cottage.”

We found it very relaxing and the cottage had everything we needed for our stay including a generous supply of towels; loo rolls, soap, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid etc were also included which makes it a home from home.

There is plenty of space for the family. If you are looking for an ultra sleek place to stay with modern bathrooms then this is not for you but it is a lovely, quirky, homely cottage with friendly, helpful owners.

“Very nice property, plenty of space, nice quiet garden in which to chill”

Mrs Patrick September 2020

“All 3 bathrooms were very tired looking and would benefit from an overhaul - especially the en- suite bathroom which was very small and couldn't get the hot water to run.”

Also the windows were sealed meaning the bedrooms got overly warm at night. The twin room bathroom was too small as well.Although all the beds were comfortable. However the kitchen was fine and well equipped and the seating outside was very useful in fine weather. Wooler as a base was excellent.

Mrs Keeling July 2020

“Absolutely fantastic accommodation, so spacious and everything catered for.”

Brilliant welcome pack and very clean. Perfect base for exploring the surrounding area with amazing walks, coast or countryside. Beds are so comfy. Garden perfectly enclosed for our dog. Locals so friendly, pubs excellent, shops and cafe's just round the corner. Would definitely stay here again.

Mrs Mcconville February 2020

“A beautiful comfortable cottage.”

I could only find positive things to say about. Myself and three family members stayed for a week. We are all retired older people so comfort comes high in our wish list and this cottage did not disappoint. The welcome pack was amazing. thank you Mr and Mrs Magleave.

“This cottage was filthy, grease and grime all over the kitchen, dust everywhere and black mould all over the bathrooms and in the bedroom with two beds there was a thick layer of black mould up the wall behind the beds and that shower didn't work.”

It was Christmas and we'd already unpacked two elderly relatives, a dog and two kids and and hidden a car full of presents in the wardrobe so I didn't want to move. I spent seven hours cleaning and it still wasn't up to a standard for renting out. when Sykes contacted the landlord, he blamed it on a new cleaner but this was months worth of dirt and grime. The landlord agreed to release our payment to allow us to book something else but by this point we had food in the fridge and freezer and Sykes were only able to offer alternatives with one bathroom between the six of us. I am going to include pictures on Trip Advisor for this cottage as you have to see it to appreciate how bad it was. We ended up with a £100 refund and a late check out which I don't feel is enough given that I spent one day of our five day holiday cleaning and half a day on the phone to Sykes trying to sort it out. It's such a shame as this could be such a lovely cottage if it was cleaned and taken care of. On Christmas day a man wondered into the back garden and my husband caught him looking at us at the dining table through the window. All in all, thoroughly disappointing.

Mr Martin October 2019

“Easy to book at a very reasonable cost.”

Excellent welcome pack waiting for us. Owner contacted us prior to arrival and made us feel very welcome. Would recomend this cottage to others wishing to visit this area. Plenty of places of interest to visit and good eating places in Wooler.

- Mr Martin, October 2019
Mrs Phillips October 2019

“The welcome hamper was very much appreciated after the long drive.”

Local shops and places to eat all listed in a folder to help us find what we wanted. Location was great as we were able to explore in all directions. The cottage itself was huge and had more than enough room for the 5 adults and toddler in our group.

- Mrs Phillips, October 2019
Mrs Mcvean September 2019

“This is our second visit to this lovely cottage.”

It is very well appointed and comfortable. It is in a peaceful location in a beautiful part of Northumberland. The enclosed garden is ideal for my guide dog who remembered it from last year! The welcome pack is generous. Thank you for that. There was a very minor problem with a toilet seat but this was rectified immediately. Thank you. The cottage has easy access which is good as one of the party has breathing difficulties and cannot walk any distance.

Mr Firth August 2019

“Cottage clean and tidy and surrounding location and facilities good.”

The premises are dated and could do with an update and modernising.

- Mr Firth, August 2019
Mrs Fivash-henderson July 2019

“Cottage was much bigger than we expected which was a lovely surprise.”

The owners left a really comprehensive welcome pack including- cereal, bread, eggs, butter, milk, wine, biscuits and tea & coffee. Sweet, homely property that was well situated.

- Mrs Fivash-henderson, July 2019
Mrs Atherley June 2019

“The cottage was extremely comfortable, with the best beds ever.”

Everything provided , including a lovely welcoming pack. The village, including bakeries, co-op restaurants, takeaways, and other shops, are quite literally less than 2 minutes walk away. Wooler is a perfect location to get to most of the places in Northumberland within about 30 minutes, especially in you love bird watching. I would definitely stay in the same cottage again without a minutes hesitation.

- Mrs Atherley, June 2019
Ms Gregory May 2019

“Not happy about a man that kept walking by at the back.”

Was not told about this. The dog kept getting upset as he thought he was an intruder.if i had known I wouldn’t have booked . The welcome pack was very nice,was pleased with it.

Mrs Mckenzie April 2019

“Tenter cottage in Wooler was in an excellent location near to the town, shops and restaurants and within easy reach of the common.”

The cottage provided us with brilliant facilities including an enclosed garden for out dogs. The directions were a bit vague, especially as it is off Church Street not Church Road. A postcode would have helped us find it. A wonderful week supported by fantastic Easter weather. Thanks for arranging that Sykes!!

“Return visit.”

Came here last year and enjoyed it so decided to come back. The cottage was just as comfortable as before. I mentioned last year that tongs and a colander would have been useful in the kitchen and lo and behold they were both present this year, proof that the owners listen to feedback. The welcome pack provided is excellent and much appreciated - no need to run to the shop before you can have a cuppa. The location of the cottage is ideal for shops and pubs. I recommend Milan Restaurant for a good evening meal. Steph called us a week before our visit to arrange key collection because she was going on holiday which was a nice touch and she remembered us from before. Hope you enjoyed your break as much as us! This year the bin was even taken out for us. Think we'll be back. Mike & Rosella Jolly plus Alfie our Cavalier.

Mrs Harrowven March 2019

“This holiday cottage really does have everything you need to ensure you have an amazing holiday.”

We have never experienced such a genuinely pet friendly place - a great secure garden and it doesn't come with a rule book which was most refreshing. A perfect home from home break in a beautiful traditional village with warm and friendly people. We simply cannot wait to go again and will never visit Northumberland until we have tried to get in here first. First class.....this place should be your first port of call.

- Mrs Harrowven, March 2019
Mrs Matthews March 2019

“A very generous welcome pack which was greatly appreciated, Overall the cottage was clean and tidy although starting to feel tired in places.”

As mentioned in previous reviews there was a smell in end twin bedroom where my children slept, the window wouldn't open so we couldn't ventilate the room and there was damp on the wall behind the bed where my daughter slept Frying pans need replacing Cottage was situated in a nice peaceful location

Mrs Bingham November 2018

“The owners are very friendly and accommodating.”

It's important to know, that if there should be a problem, owners can be contacted for help without any anamosity. Steph and John were ideal with sorting out the internet for us, very friendly and helpful.

Ms Hinde October 2018

“Easy to find in a lovely central village location close to amenities etc.”

Fantastic welcome pack on arrival. Comfortable super-king size beds. Wooler Common via St Cuthbert’s Way on your doorstep with breathtaking views on the top! Would definitely stay again - thankyou! X

Mrs Rush October 2018

“Very comfortable, spacious cottage which is very well equipped.”

We had a very enjoyable stay in the cottage and the fantastic welcome pack was greatly appreciated. This cottage has everything you need - close to the towns facilities, and a great position to explore Northumberland.

- Mrs Rush, October 2018
Mr Strother October 2018

“Better equipped cottage than we had imagined, very clean with loads of space.”

Location was very good near the centre of the village. Decoration is in need of a little attention but it was still better than most of the other cottages we have rented in the past. The welcome pack provided by the owners was superb and was very much appreciated. We really enjoyed our time there.

- Mr Strother, October 2018
Mr Keenan September 2018

“Very nice cottage and location.”

The cottage has everything you need. May need the heating looking at now it's getting colder the radiator's never seemed to warm up. The only problem was parking outside. We parked infront of the cottage then the miserable looking neighbour banged on the door demanding us to move our cars (no please or thank you) so she could park infront of the steps to tenter cottage.

Mrs O'sullivan July 2018

“The cottage was very very nice with everything you could require.”

The welcome pack was excellent and the location was wonderful. The garden was ideal and completely private and perfect for our dogs who loved it. The cottage was superb and very comfortable. The ambience was comfortable and very tastefully decorated. All in all we where delighted with this cottage. Would recommend it to friends and family, and would be more than happy to return.

“Lovely comfortable cottage and very central for amentities”

We stayed at Tenter cottage and found it very comfortable and clean. The owners have thought of everything to make it a home from home. Very well equipped and a very impressive welcome pack on arrival. Wooler is a lovely town and well positioned for great walks and seeing the local sights. We would definitely return again!

Being a very old cottage there was a smell of damp this went away when the room was aired. We would still book the cottage again.

Mrs Bailey April 2018

“We very much enjoyed Tenter Cottage.”

The space was a fabulous family space. It was warm cosy and comfortable. There was more space than we thought from the website. The garden was just perfect for our two Whippets.

Miss Darroch April 2018

“This appeared a quiet cottage in a village setting.”

On arrival the owner requested permission to mend a leak in the roof. Probably I sho uld have asked for more details and possibly the work was more extensive than they had anticipated but the result was that the roof was renewed the total width of the rear roof. As we had left home for a quiet escape from builders this was not good nor was the dirt and debris in the house.. Compensation of a voucher for a meal in the Black Bull was offered but we declined The work took two days and at 7pm on the second we had o call the owner to ask the workers to finish for the day. I feel the cottage description did not reflect the reality ,the standard of housekeeping was not high, the general appearance was of faded curtains ,windows painted shut not to be opened ,and paintwork either not finished or paper curling off walls. In the third bedroom which my sister used initially., there was a vile smell ,possibly of cats which I did discuss with the owner. He said it was possible that people just did not tell him they had cats. After two days we shut the area off and did not use the room .In fact the stench permeated the house ,which was not easy to air because of tight shut windows. Within those limits we enjoyed the holiday ,the weather was very kind and we were able to get out and about. In conclusion I would like to say that the owners were unfailingly helpful and polite ,and seemed genuinely unaware of any defects. My main concern is that people who follow on are perhaps 4-6 in number and cannot shut off the end bedroom

“Enjoyed our stay in Tenter Cottage.”

The cottage was comfortable and cosy. The heating was on when we arrived and a great welcome pack was left for us including milk, bread, eggs, butter, fruit juice and wine. Our bed was very large and comfortable. Location of the cottage was ideal for the Co-op and all amenities in the town but was still quiet. Enclosed garden was ideal for our dog. We used the back door most of the time because we had the dog with us. The front hall was carpeted but living room, dinning area and kitchen were hard floors which was ideal with a dog. Couches were comfy and bedrooms roomy, all having en-suite facilities. Wooler is well situated for touring the area. We enjoyed a lovely dinner in Milan Restaurant and a couple of bar lunches in the Black Bull. Locals were friendly. A colander and kitchen tongs would have been useful.

Mr Grant March 2018

“The kitchen - it was dirty, this had accumulated over a period of time.”

The cutlery drawer was filthy, the cupboards were grimy and the sheves had not been wiped clean. There was spilt food in the microwave and on the door. The cooker knobs were greasy and sticky. The bathrooms - Main bathroom need to be bleached around the shower to remove black mould. Tiles around sink in middle bathroom were stained and dirty. Light switch pull cords were black with dirt. Shower in twin room didn't work properly (luke warm water only). Non-slip bathmats look like they had never been cleaned. We were not impressed that beds had duvets and sheets and given the dirty state of the property we wondered if the duvet covers are ever washed We realise we could have phoned to complain and doubtless the owner would have come and spent a few hours cleaning the place. However we didn't want the hassle so we went out to buy some cleaing products to do it ourselves.

Mrs Ashman February 2018

“Thank you to the owner for the lovely Welcome Pack and the little touches left for us.”

Tenter Cottage was comfortable and warm and had everything you needed. Location in the village was excellent to shops and pubs. We would book again if in the area.
