What our customers say about their holidays

  Light, roomy and very quiet flat.

  We were met by Nigel who explained parking and keys for internal flat door, external doors and entry security gate for the parking. The facilities that we used (shower was excellent) were fine although couldn’t find instructions for microwave. A bit of guess work required. The entry door to the flats, from the road side, was of course meant to shut automatically but rarely did, which was concerning. We phoned Nigel to let him know. The 13 tog duvet was too warm for us but the bed very comfortable. Dining chairs had to be used carefully, as they were on a sprung half swivel, which returned to central point and could catch the back of your legs when getting up . Every self-catering place that we have used, has always provided hand washing liquid. Thankfully the excellent local shop is very near. We were able to purchase hand washing soap and even newspapers. Once again, in every self-catering place, that we’ve stayed in, they have had a useful visitors book, games, books and a bottle of wine, biscuits, crisps, a pint of milk etc but disappointingly not here. We were very impressed with the bus service to Durham and Newcastle. Going out each day we were reassured that our car was safely parked, outside the flat, all week!

  The Annex is perfect as a base to see the wonderful Northumberland countryside.

  The hosts are friendly and welcoming, they were there if we needed them but were not 'in your face' they helped to make it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The Annex itself was a home from home & had everything we needed. There are a lot of steps down to the Annex so something to think about if you have mobility issues BUT both my daughter and I are disabled and apart from bringing things in on arrival and packing back up at the end we managed well and it will NOT stop us going back. We will just pack things a bit differently. All in all I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a good holiday in the area. We are already looking at dates to go back, and we don't normally go to the same place twice.

  We absolutely loved our stay here - it was perfect!

  The accommodation has everything you could possibly need and has been a great location for me whilst doing some renovations on my property in Northumberland. The owners were really friendly and extremely helpful. The property was clean, tidy and extremely well-maintained. It was a really quiet area, parking is available for 1 vehicle, the garden was perfect for my dog and generally, everything was great! I can't think of any negative points; our only struggle was initially finding the house as I don't know Prudhoe very well at all, but the owner was really helpful with this aspect, too! Thanks Joanne and David - we will definitely return if and when we need to come back to Northumberland again!

  It was very easy to find, just off the main run from Chester le street to Durham.

  Nigel met me and showed me around the flat on arrival and supplied 2 sets of keys and showed me how to work the security gates. Everything was very tidy and comfortable. The whole flat was spotlessly clean. There was ample kitchenware and he supplied tea, sugar, coffee, salt & pepper, hair dryer, and plenty of loo roll. The towels were lovely thick and fluffy and more than needed. Had no problems with the heating and hot water. It was a quiet area in a securely gated plot. The shop a few doors down was well stocked too. We really enjoyed our stay here and have already recommended it to a couple of people. Couldnt fault the place at all. We would certainly go back

  Two things, both lack of information.

  Firstly, when we arrived it was quite cold and it took a while to get the heating on and it went off after about 10 minutes, instructions on how to operate the heating would have been useful. Halfway through the week we realised that the living room window was open, closing it had been restricted by a piece of plastic. Secondly, the recycling, there was instructions as to which bin to us but nothing about what gets recycled we had to check with our friends who live in the area. Other than this The Annex was very clean and quiet although it was close to a busy road.
