What our customers say about their holidays

• emma - Verified booking

  Dairymaid Cottage has been thoughtfully and tastefully presented for holiday lets.

  Everything is provided and easy to use. We enjoyed the staying there, and appreciated all the comforts. However, there was no indication from Sykes about the building works (in the "vicinity") being actually adjacent to the cottage.. I also asked whether the approach road to the cottage had lighting at night, and was told that it did. In fact the cottage is reached from an unlit junction, into an unlit lane, then to locate an unlit gateway. Neither outside light on the cottage was working. By telephoning the Chester office, we managed to get one swiftly repaired. The main reason why we will not recommend Sykes to anyone is because Customer Support has now been digitalised. This means that one cannot speak to anyone directly, and even my call to Northumbrian Cottages from the cottage about the lights was answered in Chester. Personal contact is essential for tenants when holiday issues need to be discussed, and it is sad that this lets down the good quality of the rest of the operation.

  Bathroom sink slow running due to dirty hair filled drain, shower was the same.

  Dusty cobwebs everywhere in the cottage and bathroom skirting boards not cleaned covered in dust. A hoover would be great to clean up sand brought in which being a seaside location is inevitable, brush and dust pan no good for older couples ! Oven not cleaned food bits left in the bottom. Would like more essentials, no one wants to take washing up liquid or toilet rolls on holiday, and what was supplied was insufficient for a week! Cafetière obviously for decoration only as we wasted some of our ground coffee as it just poured out the grounds with the water, had to buy one from Morrison’s. Wi-Fi didn’t work used up so much data, on phones as it only came on occasionally and even then was poor connection. Rug in sitting room was dirty too, perhaps not the best colour for a holiday let. The cottage is ‘okay’ but a few small simple changes would easily take it to excellent. Not the best value for money, we stayed in cheaper places in the area with far better facilities and much cleaner.

  Stayed at The Buttery, Warkworth with another couple. Fantastic accommodation, very clean, well equipped and more than we expected. One of the best welcome packs we have received. The open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen was great for us to enjoy together with no-one in a kitchen cooking on their own! The ‘Secret Garden’ was a lovely suntrap with it’s cosy garden ‘shed’ a great place to enjoy a tipple or two! Great location in centre of the village, close to the pubs, shops, cafe’s and river. First time we have used Coquet Cottages and not disappointed. They were a pleasure to deal with and kept me updated either by phone calls or emails on our holiday. Will certainly use again and recommend.

  Our third visit to Amble in the last two years and it never disappoints. We go home feeling refreshed and relaxed. The views from the apartment are stunning, ever changing watching the tides. Boats and birds. Never fails to amaze. Very comfortable apartment, lovely welcome hamper and flowers. Thank you. So cosy. One of the best things for us is to leave the car parked up and enjoy the local restaurants and walks along the pier, the sea has been amazing to walk on this visit. Old Boathouse and Japser’s are our favourites, this week has gone far too quickly but we are going home knowing we will be back again for two weeks in May and looking forward to coming back to The Quarterdeck. Thank you.

  The property exceeded our expectations. Beautifully presented & warm which was important for my father who had health issues. As we were bringing our elderly parents who both have mobility issues this property met their needs. Parking outside the door, a lift to access the apartment, the accommodation was all on one level and it had a walk in shower. The sensitive use of space to make the most of the wonderful views; the quality & cleanliness of furniture & furnishings; the closeness to local amenities; parking; warmth & comfort; provision of beautiful crockery & kitchen utensils & equipment.
