What our customers say about their holidays

  Disappointed with description as cottage garden was enclosed and the photo of the garden was very carefully taken to indicate this was the garden for honeys cottage, in fact the garden was shared by 2 cottages both belonging to the same owner.

  This was not stated on the individual description of either cottage. On Skye’s page underneath the individual disruptions right at the bottom was the line some areas of the garden could be shared. The whole garden was shared with dogs all sharing the whole area. Luckily all the dogs were the same smaller size but could get into each others cottages as the doors were open as the weather was hot. Also privacy was an issue as the door to the other property and their patio table and chairs / barbecue was directly opposite the two full length glass doors to the bedroom with the bed 1 meter from the window. The wet room constantly flooded ,the owner sent his friend to address this and the trap was overflowing with hair and waste, but this continued to flood all the time. The heating was coming on at 2 or 3 am in the early morning and could not be altered again the friend kindly came to assist but could not solve the issue so we had to turn everything off and back on when hot water needed and the fan in the kitchen and the dishwasher did not work so we opened the window and washed up by hand. The cottage is lovely nicely furnished very basic with utensils and crockery but ok .Directly on the side of a busy main road and getting in and out of the drive is difficult and could be dangerous if not careful. The owner was informed by message about the folding issues heating etc but made no response but his friend Brett was kind and apologetic Sykes did listen but were somewhat dismissive of the our concerns pointing out the sentence that some of the garden could be shared. The other people staying in the other cottage also spoke to Sykes and were told they could use the garden and the 2 acre meadow as stated in their holiday description to exercise their dogs they could not as the grass was 2 ft high. Sykes did give us a refund of £50 ‘as we had to wash up as the dishwasher was not working’.

  Had a wonderful stay, we were 4 adults and 2 well behaved dogs.

  We were also lucky with the weather, eating out on the patio most days. The views are amazing, the house is beautiful. Just a 10 minute drive into Berwick town and not much further if going to the beach. The house has all of the amenities you could wish for, washer, dryer, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher etc.. also tv although the channels took some finding sometimes but we got there in the end. There was a lovely gift basket on our arrival which included a bottle of sparkly and biscuits amongst other items. There are leaflets and brochures in the house with maps showing all places to visit nearby. The heating came on in the mornings for a short time which allowed warm towels in the bathroom and also despite the number of showers each morning, the water was always nice and hot. We did contact the owners on arrival as there was no water in the property, but this was down to Northumbrian Water and not through any fault of the owners. However, Jess could not do enough, and within a short time the waterboard was at the house and they fixed the issue (which apparently was somewhere down the road due to work which has been done earlier in the week). Jess, however, messaged several times to make sure it was fixed and check we were okay. One thing I will never forget are the amazing views, such a wonderful property. Thank you for helping make wonderful memories. xx

  Honeysuckle cottage is ideally located for exploring North Northumberland and the owner has refurbished the former Coach House hotel to form self-contained flatlets of a high standard.

  As with any new-build there are some areas that only time and honest feedback will perfect, for example there is no shaver socket in the bathroom and the inventory is currently relatively minimal, however the owner's responsiveness to our request for a mop and hairdryer was exemplary and cleanliness was good on arrival. It is indisputable that the front bedroom is directly on the main road, and some may be disturbed by the associated traffic, fortunately we only used the room as additional wardrobe space! Whilst we were staying there were no issues streaming the to the smart TV and web-surfing but otherwise mobile telephone coverage is poor in the area. All in all, a very pleasant week in stunning countryside boosted by glorious autumn weather. Feeding back to Sykes Cottages in general; can we please ask that all property owners provide the EXACT grid reference of the property in the directions (OSGB or W3W) and that the pre-booking property description includes a detailed accessibility statement and fire risk assessment. Personally, I look for assistance rails in wet-rooms, appropriate fire / CO detectors, suitable escape lighting and exits that can be easily opened in an emergency.

  Fantastic location — next to the Whiteadder river looking out over sloping fields with lots of birds and other wildlife (and surprisingly entertaining sheep) with public footpaths from the doorstep.

  Yet Berwick-upon-Tweed is just a short drive away — a small mediaeval town with lots of character, yet easy to access by car — with free parking! There are lots of places of interest nearby or within an easy drive — we especially enjoyed a boat trip to see seals, Puffins and other sea birds at Farne Islands. The house is spacious and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen — plenty of pots and pans, cutlery and crockery. We liked the design of the relatively recent renovation, the main access is via a boot room, which makes it easy to keep the rest of the house tidy. There are large windows along the length of the house — ideal for watching the wildlife. All bedrooms and bathrooms are accessed from a long corridor which provides flexibility to accommodate different groups. The house is well insulated with an efficient central heating system which we found had been set to maintain a comfortable temperature. It’s a unique, quality, property in a beautiful location and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable rural break in this under-appreciated part of the world.

  Stayed here for week with my husband, son and my parents.

  What an amazing house. Spotlessly clean, massive inside and very comfortable ,just perfect for our stay. Beds soo comfy we all slept well after busy days exploring. We loved the games room too and now experts at table tennis. Thank you Yvonne for the lovely welcome treats. Beaches not too far about half hour from the house and the coastline in Northumberland are stunning and not too busy. We visited Bamburgh castle, holy island, seahouses and lilidorei at Alnwick gardens which were all brilliant places to go for a day out. Nearby Heatherslaw steam railway which was brilliant and took us to etal castle and village. We drove to Eyemouth too over the border which is a fab fishing village. We were so lucky with the British weather too and only had one cold day. We all had a wonderful stay here but went far too quickly. We would love to come back again as still lots of places to explore. Thank you Mel, Dave & Finley Sue & Del
