  This was a perfect property for a university reunion of 7 x 64 yr old graduates .

  There was great scope wit the 3 large bedrooms to accommodate the snoring within the group , and the kitchen has everything we needed , with lots of mockery , cutlery , pots and pans . the lane proved interesting for one of our group , who had just taken delivery of a new car , but then all was forgiven , when you realise you are truly out in the country. we all watched the hares in the field from our breakfast table. bathrooms , heating were all spot on , and Barbara, was on hand to offer advice and guidance on the local area, with walks and pub options. 4 of our group played golf at STOCKSBRIDGE GC ......unlikly we would go back , as its extremely hilly , and tight , with too many fairway crossovers and greens too close to tee off areas. someone suggested Sickleholme GC as a better option , which is approx 14 miles away , and close to the walking highlight of Mam Tor and Castleton village , which was a superb area In total a fabulous cottage / Barn

  This is a great, spacious, well equipped, top floor apartment in a lovely old building situated close to the river with lovely views.

  Both bedrooms have en-suites which is a huge bonus. Allocated parking spaces is fantastic too. However, the property was a huge let down because of the noisy building site immediately to the front of the property where 5 houses are being built. Going by the Sykes website, this work was supposed to be finished by end of July - we booked back in March and were never informed this work would be ongoing, otherwise we would have booked somewhere else. We arrived on the 4th Aug and the noise started just after 8am every day (including the Saturday after we arrived), windows couldn't be left open due to the noise, and the constant noise spoiled our holiday. This made out stay stressful, so much so that we came home a day early - not the peaceful, de-stress holiday we had hoped for unfortunately. Because of this, we've asked for some compensation/refund, but we're not hopeful.

  We spent a wonderful two weeks in Puffin Cottage, it proved just right for us all. The location is fabulous, the option of walking in Seahouses or the beach at St Aidan’s bay for magnificent sunsets towards Bamburgh Castle, fun in the sea and on the sand, boat trips and food shopping. We love this region of the country and enjoyed returning to our favourite places and discovering new ones. Some recommendations would be Ford and Etal Castles (Castles, miniature train trips, cafes, Lady Waterford Hall with its pre Raphaelite walls, mill and the craft shops). We also enjoyed the local walk to the harbour, south to the caravan park which was a pleasant stroll. Bertram’s in Warkworth for food/coffee, the castle, river and beach all all lovely. A favourite of ours is Embleton Bay with views of Dunstanburgh from the North.

  We visited as a family of six in August.

  The cottage is beautiful with amazing grounds. The cottage was very clean and had everything you needed. It was also a great location and all the places we visited were around a half an hour drive. Mark and Alison were very welcoming and Mark took the time to show us around the farm and see all the animals. The girls loved the cows and the dogs, especially Buster and loved riding on the ride on tractors. The only criticism is the showers. There is an amazing wet room downstairs, however the shower doesn’t provide enough water, it was a struggle to get clean and my Aunty and Uncle had the same problem with the shower in their en-suite. There is nothing else I could fault about the property and if the showers were improved we would definitely return again. We all had an amazing stay. Thank you :)

  We arrived to a lovely welcome hamper and there was even items for our dog, which was a thoughtful touch. It is a lovely cottage, well equipped and comfortable. After busy active days in the glorious weather the mega TV was a bonus for watching films together. It was helpful to have a well enclosed garden to keep our dog nice a safe. We enjoyed the coastal walks to Craster/ Dunstanburgh Castle. Holy Island and also to Beadnell and Bamburgh. The Billy Shiel boat trip was rewarding, although there was no Puffins at this time of year, but there was lots of seals and many breeds of birds. We recommend The Spice House Indian Restaurant as well as the cafes in Seahouses. The Smoke House on South street is a hidden gem with delicious seafood and fish. Thank you for giving us a good base for a lovely holiday.
