What our customers say about their holidays
Gina - Verified booking
A beautiful cottage.
Great location, car park around back £15 for week. Quaint front garden. On arrival before we had even unpacked I had to ring Sykes to say it had not been cleaned very well. Stain on bedding, bathroom mirrors you could not see through, dirty cutlery and kitchen cupboards, mould in a casserole dish, this was to name a few. Welcome pack of half open jar of coffee and teabags, a packet of choc nuts all but 3 eaten out of them! Thank goodness no one had a nut allergy!!!! 2 bags of crisps and miniature marmalade! Skyeâs got the caretakers daughter to come and do a re clean, even she agreed that this was not up to standards and did a quick clean upstairs, this was now about 5pm ish, we appreciated her coming and gave her £20 for having to try and rectify someoneâs elseâs cleaning, if she had done all the cleaning that wanted doing she would have been there a good 4hours. I cleaned the cutlery and draw, wiped all the kitchen down, found half used garlic behind trays, food left in end cupboard ( which I left) there was cake in bedroom draws, sweet wrappers under bed, coat hangers and someoneâs knee bandage on book case in lounge!! The list is endless, I have photos to prove all this too. Good grief this property wasnât cheap to stay in. The owners have lovingly restored this cottage and put good quality furniture in, what a shame for it not to be maintained the way it should be. Before I left I hoovered lounge and kitchen took photos to prove I left it looking nice. Hopefully the cleaner will hoover all corners thatâs not been done in months! What a shame. Would have been nice for Skyeâs to have told the owners of our grumbles on that Saturday, but they said we complained the day before departure, that was our second email. The caretaker also should have come to see it too, his daughter even took photos. Very disappointed how we have been treated.

Just lovely.
It's easy to romanticise over the bleakness of the location and the hardships it would have brought in days gone by but now, it is just perfect for those who want to be close enough for Hadrians Wall, Barnard Castle and High Force yet far enough away to just open the door, be on the moors within a minutes walk and not see a living soul for ages (plenty of sheep though). I believe the house is an old miners cottage with a fabulous fire place and log burner taking centre stage in the front room. Sadly we didn't need to light it as the weather was beautiful yet comfortable indoors as the house was cool due the thickness of the stonework throughout. There is a pub in Allenheads (20-30 min walk) very friendly but they don't do food. The pubs in Allendale do however the one landlady did not appear to be as friendly for some reason but their food was awesome. There are some nice walks around the village but it is definitely worth travelling out for the day as there is lots of National Trust related sites nearby. It is worth noting that the neighbours, Sam and Charlie had a wonderful knack of turning up when we needed advice but apart that you will not get disturbed apart from the occasional bleats and baa's from the other neighbours. As I sat by the brook that runs at the bottom of the garden I imagined that this is the kind of place you would have expected to find William Blake when he wrote the poem "And did those feet in ancient time" Note. Do not be offended; Dogs must be kept on a lead, especially tiny ones like mine that could have easily disappeared down one of the many rabbit holes given the opportunity.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Englewood Cottage, and it truly exceeded our expectations in every way.
Nestled just outside the quaint village of Allenheads, this charming stone-built cottage offered the perfect blend of historic character and modern comfort. The original features added to the cottage's cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The accommodation was spacious, well-furnished, and incredibly well-equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, with all the utensils and equipment we could ask for. The four-poster double bed was a highlight, offering a comfortable night's sleep, and the multi-fuel stove made the sitting room a perfect place to unwind in the evenings. What really made our stay special, though, was the stunning surroundings. The garden, which runs down to a small stream, was a peaceful haven where we spent many hours enjoying the fresh air and beautiful views. The sound of the stream and the abundance of wildlife made it feel like we were in our own little slice of paradise. The surrounding moorland is simply breathtaking, offering endless opportunities for walks and exploration. The remote location was exactly what we were looking for â peaceful, tranquil, and away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our dog was also made very welcome, he loved exploring the garden and surrounding area as much as we did. If you're looking for a cozy, character-filled retreat in a stunningly beautiful location, we can't recommend Englewood Cottage highly enough. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and already planning our next visit!

Very convenient for Central Richmond and all it has to offer and also access by foot to good riverside walks.
It is a lovely property and as the instruction book advises the house warms up well and seems to retain heat. ( Thick walls helps with this ) The exception is that the kitchen radiator cannot be turned on. It's okay if cooking with the cooker or you have to leave the sitting room door open. However, that then cools down the sitting room. Thankfully, the weather turned very cold only the day we departed. We found the furniture and beds comfortable. (Even the one settee that was well used and dipped. That became my spot) More wine glasses would be advisable, only three when we arrived and one broke in the dishwasher. We bought two more. Some microwave dishes, potato peeler would be good otherwise utensils were well catered for. There was dish washing tabs available but no washing machine tabs. I know it is self catering but often there are some available at cottages we rent. The welcome pack on arrival was good thank you. We were mixed family and friends staying so not having locks or a bolt in the toilet/shower rooms is not good. We had to make signs for the doors and tell folk that if the doors were closed it was in use. Re parking, we off loaded the cars at the gate with warning lights on. We paid £15 to park the car for a week in Nunns Close Car Park. Very close to the property. (£15.20 if you use Ring Go App ) A good week was had.

Overall we were very satisfied with the cottage.
Apart from the issues we discussed with both Sykes and the owner it was a nice stay. A very nice touch to arrive to a gift basket! Decent parking space at the front of the property lovely views to the rear and the cottage was tastefully decorated and even had Halloween pumpkins etc for us as our stay co-incided with Halloween. If we had to point out any slight negatives the toilet flush was faulty and so after flushing you had to lift the handle otherwise the water would continue to flow, Downstairs there was no clothes airer to dry clothes with (minor point) but as there were no blinds at the back windows it did feel a little like living in a gold fish bowl. Fine for your morning views but not so great at night with the lights on when people walking dogs can see right in which brings me on to the hot tub. As there is no outdoor cover as soon as you walked back into the house there was no where to get changed or dry off⦠you were straight into the kitchen. Luckily there was a stone floor but we had to make sure we had towels at the ready so as not to drip through the house. Plenty of games for rainy days though which was great. Overall we had a nice stay,
