“We enjoyed our holiday at Hodgkin Hall very much.”

The rental is well equipped with appliances and towels, bedding etc. Unfortunately, we had some storm unrelated power issues. May it be because of the heating being electric or whatever, the fuses kicked off , even when we were not in the house. Resetting the breakers restored the power and heating but it was very disturbing that it happened several times over. This also threw off the warm water supply and so on. Otherwise all worked well.

“The location was perfect for visiting all the best places in Northumberland.”

The home was very comfortable with a perfect open lounge/kitchen area. Our only complaints were the lack of hot water (not enough to go around 8 people -booster did not work) and on arrival we found old pizza in the microwave. Small grumbles in comparison to the great time we had there :)

“We were extremely pleased with the interior of Hodgkin Hall and could not fault the accommodation apart from one of the blinds in the on-site bedroom was broken which we notified the owner about but by our day of departure had not been repaired.”

However the exterior was not well maintained, there were numerous Spiny Sowthistle weeds in the drive. The grass and hedges were overgrown in the small detached garden there were also a number of nettles as well. The only table in the detached garden was in a state of disrepair. On a number of occasions we contacted first Sykes and then on the advise of Sykes the owner. On four occasions we asked for an update regarding a replacement Table, by the time of our departure the Table had not been replaced. Because of the state of the grass and the Spiny Sowthistle weeds we decided for the safety of our grandchildren to cut the grass and remove the weeds ourselves. The other issue we had with the drive was a dried out bush scratched the wheel arch of one of the cars when it was being parked when we first arrived.

“On arrival dinner plates and baking trays\roasting tins were dirty.”

Travel cot we had requested was broken and unable to be used. When we finally got through to the contact person of the property they weren't very helpful and were just insisting that they hadn't been informed that the travel cot had been requested. Eventually they did get another cot to us but it was quite a stressful time worrying about whether we would get a cot and what time it would arrive. Highchair was also dirty. The floor in the living room didn't appear to have been vacuumed as pistachio shells were on the floor under the dining table (not good for a crawling baby to find!!!). There were also extremely dried raisins and a pen under one of the sofas. We have never before arrived at a holiday home to find not one scrap of toilet paper. As we arrived there at 4pm and our online shopping wasn't arriving until between 5 and 6pm it was helpful especially with a children with us. The double bedroom upstairs is very small (same size as the single one opposite). It was squeeze to get down the side to get into bed especially as there is a set of drawers lengthways down one side which is pretty useless to use as there also isn't enough room to open them properly. This room also lacked a mirror. The property should not be listed as a 4 star property and it was noticeable that there wasn't a visitors book in the property. The only review was on a scrap of paper inside one of the folders with information in (obviously this was a positive review!). On our last morning we also didn't have any hot water. On a plus side the house was in a perfect location for us.

“The house is very comfortable for a family gathering.”

We had family members from 4 counties arriving and the open plan layout was great for catching up. It has a well equipped kitchen, great for Christmas and the Christmas decorations we're a nice touch.
