What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a very comfortable stay here.

  The house is roomy and the gardens are perfect for our dogs. The garden was secure, and it was nice to sit out there in the evenings. The kitchen was well stocked, from a air fryer to coffee machine, the only thing is we found the oven slow to cook. Other than that the kitchen was great. Really helpful to have a freezer. On arrival we had some essentials left for us, which was very helpful and a nice touch. Lots of bits for is to use in the cupboard, like extra dog bowls, outdoor games. Very well-stocked and useful items. The bathroom is downstairs, it's a good size but a little awkward trying to stand up and Shower in the bath, as the ceiling is sloped. Also it could do with an extractor fan. Again it was well stocked, with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Lovely touch. The rooms were comfortable and a good size. Beds were comfortable. There is only room for parking one car, and no bigger than a medium car. A couple of times we got blocked in, it can be tricky getting out of the drive onto the main road. It's easier not to reverse out. Overall we had a lovely stay here, we would recommend it, especially if you have dogs and children. Lovely five minute walk to the river, where there's a cafe and park for children. Not far from the shops, short drive. Considering there was a main road just outside, it's very quiet and peaceful.

  The property we stayed in was large, very tastefully decorated and comfortable.

  Lots of extra bits and pieces for a holiday with dogs, like additional entrance areas for wet shoes and towels, heated clothes airer for damp bits and pieces, plenty of coat hooks etc. You wouldn’t have thought it was ‘dog friendly’ accommodation as it was so clean and fresh, like no other dogs had been in there ! Particularly liked the extra effort of the hosts … shampoo and conditioner, washing up liquid, bin liners, bread, butter, milk and even fresh scones and jam ! The garden was beautiful and perfect for our two mini dachshunds, there was no way they were escaping ! A very peaceful and lovely outlook with no surrounding noise. We had a fabulous stay and the hosts who lived next door were extremely helpful in sorting a heating problem out very quickly when we arrived. I’m very reluctant to book ‘dog friendly’ accommodation as ifs often a bit off putting but this place exceeded expectations. Five stars !

  Homely, warm and fresh smelling property (no doggy smells) situated at the end of a long private drive, completely exceeded our expectations.

  The front door lock is a little fiddly but once you get the knack of it, it's fine. The hand held shower is a new experience, no room to stand up so it's like having a bath and a shower at the same time but the shower is a good powerful one and if you prefer a bath instead, the bath tub is a big one and fills up quickly. The property was very clean throughout. Kitchen well equipped just missed having a cheese grater in there (or couldnt find it if there was), but the little welcome extras were very much appreciated. Could do will a blind in the kitchen though, as the low autumn sun was very strong and warm in the mornings, but definitely not needed for privacy as only one other property past this one on the private drive. Ideally located to visited the fabulous Northumberland beaches and castles, or inland to Kielder. We felt right at home here and miss the place already, definitely one to keep on our list of favourites.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Taylor’s Cottage.

  It is very well equipped and the local area is surprisingly quiet and peaceful. It was the best Sykes cottage we have ever stayed in. The owner responded very quickly to a problem - there was no rubber mat to use when showering in the bath, but she delivered one within hours of our request, thank you! Our main concern was the rear patio is not enclosed as described and therefore we could not leave our dog out there unattended (she loves to sit in the garden). The patio opens onto neighbouring gardens and our Labrador took a fancy to the neighbour’s tomatoes! Also, as someone else has previously mentioned, the pillows are much too big. Luckily, we brought our own having read previous feedback. Despite the garden issue, we would probably stay at the cottage again because it was so clean and well equipped with nice quality furnishings etc.

  We chose this for its lovely garden for our dog.

  The kitchen is well-equipped with white goods . There are no blinds so it's like being in a goldfish bowl at night.The bathroom is downstairs and smells of damp.There are damp patches with wall paper peeling off in the the kitchen. The lounge area is also in need of some maintenance with damp and dirt an issue.The bedrooms have antique wardrobes and furniture which smell of mothballs. The decor is poor with wallpaper lifting off walls and again damp patches around windows frames The house does not come upto scratch at all for a rental. We never saw or heard from the owners to bring these things to their attention. I was quite shocked and really did not want to stay here.I have photos to share with Sykes . Not recommend!
