  After travelling from Inverness to my native NE several times a year for the last 19 years to visit family and friends, we have stayed at dozens of holiday lets, but this is our favourite and the best by far.

  Communication with the owner prior and throughout was excellent. So friendly and polite. Earsdon is a lovely little country village and perfectly based for visiting the coast. Having the best of both worlds was especially wonderful as we could take our little dog, who was spoiled for walks. We booked the cottage for 2 weeks over Christmas and it was lush walking in to see it decked out with a gorgeous tree, a garland running up the stair, a wreath and cute little decorations. All very tasteful and in keeping with the stunning decor. It smelled/smelt (never know which it is!) gorgeous too. It was immaculate, and so warm and cosy. This meant so much to me as we’ve walked into some places rated 4&5 star and they’ve been filthy and run down! They left a very impressive festive hamper on the table for us which was so thoughtful and kind. Got tucked into the cheesy crackers straight away. Such a warm welcome. The kitchen is so well kitted out. It even has a crock pot, which we used once to do a curry. We ate out mostly though as there are such nice places to eat nearby (the beehive along the road and 1910 at the Spanish city). I can’t even tell you how great it was to have a tumble dryer! God send. All high end appliances. Lovely comfy beds. So quiet at night! I can’t recommend this gorgeous little cottage enough. Will defo be booking again, delightful. Thank you so much to the wonderful hosts, it would be nice to meet you guys one day! X

  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.

  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.

  Our stay at Taylor’s Cottage really exceeded expectations.

  We stayed for a month as we needed a temporary base close to family and Northumberland to relax, having just moved back from Europe, and couldn’t have picked a more welcoming place. Check in was super easy, contact free and the owner made sure everything was provided upon arrival. The kitchen was a dream, well equipped, the interiors were extremely tasteful, it was warm, very clean and the bedroom was so comfortable with plenty of wardrobe space. There are plenty of good walks around the area, really nice pubs close-by, groceries can easily be delivered if needed, it is close to Newcastle centre and everything is within reach. It’s rare to stay somewhere that feels like a home, but Taylor’s Cottage did. Every detail seems to have been thought of to make your stay hassle-free. It was very peaceful there, we didn't want to leave and we can’t thank you enough for your hospitality!

  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.
