“It is a lovely cottage in an ideal location.”

Welcome pack was very generous, the cottage was warm & cosy just a little tired in places but we would make a return visit.

James September 2024

“The Coach House is a very comfortable house and an ideal base to explore this beautiful area.”

On the positive side, it was warm, comfortable and everything worked as it should. Overall, we felt at home there. However, the cleanliness (whilst acceptable) was not the deep clean as advised, and it felt in need of a refresh with regard to the decoration, carpets and general wear and tear - an inevitable result of its popularity. With a little TLC, It has the potential to be a really special place to stay.

Stephanie September 2024

“A charming character property in a great location very close to all local amenities as well as Holy Island, Bamburgh, Berwick etc.”

We ate at The Black Bull a number of times which is just a short stroll away and the food was amazing! The Coach House is well equipped and has everything you need for a comfortable holiday, however, it is looking tired in places particularly the bathrooms and soft furnishings, also bed linen which in our opinion require replacing. Overall, we had a great holiday and would return to the area again.

Gerald August 2024

“Excellent accommodation, well equipped and spacious - the welcome pack was much appreciated.”

Lowick really is ideally situated for Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Craster and many more places worth visiting. Great pub over the road and village shop a short walk away. Would definitely stay again.

- Gerald, August 2024

We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay at the Coach House and our wonderful part of the country. Property Owner
Richard July 2024

“Comfortable space in the heart of northern Northumbria.”

The house was well equipped and worked well although the one shower room did need some crowd control! Location wise it was brilliant. In a quiet village with an amazing pub and very close to the wonders of lindisfarne and Bamburgh. We would definitely stay again!!

- Richard, July 2024
Timothy June 2024

“We had a wonderful week with our dog in this lovely location.”

The cottage was spotless, welcoming and very spacious. Every room was tastefully decorated and so comfortable. The garden was totally secure and our dog was completely safe. The location was very quiet with two pubs within walking distance along with a local grocery shop. So many surrounding places to visit, all within striking distance such as Bamburgh, Alnwick, Berwick and many others. If you are looking for a nice, quiet, peaceful and comfortable cottage for your holiday in a fab location, we would totally recommend The Coach House. We enjoyed it so much, we've re-booked for next year!

- Timothy, June 2024

Thank you so much for your comments and will look forward to seeing you again next year. Property Owner

“The Coach House is an ideal base for exploring Northumberland.”

Great facilities, everything you need and a great pub across the road. Would stay again and would highly recommend.

Lin May 2024

“Although the Coach House was spacious and well situated for a holiday in Northumberland, the cost was relatively high.”

Compared with other properties we have stayed in at a similar price (Tigh Na Sith, Aultbea), the Coach house was slightly run down and could be much better with more basic maintenance - garden / courtyard shrubs cutting back, kitchen paintwork, cupboard door handles etc. We would be happy to stay again, but only at a more reasonable cost.

- Lin, May 2024
Sarah April 2024

“The Coach House is a 'find' and we will definitely be returning.”

Comfortable, well equip, clean and warm. Located in an ideal spot to explore the North East coast, and just a ten minute drive to Goswick Sands providing my dog, Yogi Bear, with miles of beach and sand dunes to roam in, which he did! Our host checked in with us at the start of our stay and mid week to ensure every thing was okay, and, as others have noted, provide the best Welcome Pack ever!! Many thanks for a wonderful week! Sarah, Mark and Yogi Bear!

- Sarah, April 2024

Thank you for your comments , they are greatly appreciated and that you had a wonderful week. We endeavour to make the cottage a s comfortable and cosy s possible. Property Owner
Susan March 2024

“What a lovely cosy cottage.”

Warm and welcoming. The goodie basket waiting for us on arrival was perfect too. The power shower was fabulous after a day out walking! The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. We didn't need anything while we were there, but felt as if we could have asked if we did. All in all a comfy, warm and welcoming place to stay.

- Susan, March 2024

Thank you for your kind review and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at the Coach House even if the weather was not as springlike as it should be. Property Owner
David February 2024

“We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week here in the Coach House.”

This is quite an old building which has been done out in a very comfortable and cosy style. Once you get used to the heating and other systems you can just snuggle in. We found people very friendly in the area and the owners and staff in the Black Bull Hotel across the road were very welcoming (great food). We enjoyed days out at Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, Wooler, Alnwick, Morpeth and North Shields. There was lots to do. Would consider staying here again. Thank you for your hospitality.

- David, February 2024
Carol December 2023

“Our third visit to The Coach House for the new year week!”

As before, we have enjoyed our stay very much; a warm and comfortable cottage. Thanks to the owners for the usual generous hamper!

- Carol, December 2023
Shaun September 2023

“Another great stay at the coach house!”

Perfect location for touring, comfortable, peaceful, a real home from home for us, and great hospitality, thanks again! Hope to return very soon

- Shaun, September 2023

Great to have you back again and delighted that you enjoy our cottage Property Owner
Steven September 2023

“Email prior to arrival told us there had been a deep clean.”

This proofed to be far from the truth. Hair on top of on-suite shower frame, cobwebs in main lounge, windows on patio doors not cleaned, dog hairs on and under most carpets, fridge not cleaned thoroughly etc etc. Taps in kitchen and downstairs bathroom that wouldn’t turn off fully. The property is in great need of a re decoration. Disappointed with the property in general terms.

- Steven, September 2023

We are sorry that you found the cottage not our to our usual very high standard as you will see from virtually all reviews over the past year. We have been away for a few weeks and we rely on our cleaners for efficient turnovers. However, I believe the as soon as you had informed us of the dripping taps we had a plumber round within 24 hours. I have informed the cleaners of you comments will strive to maintain the usual high standards we set ourselves. Property Owner
Nicola September 2023

“Lovely cottage quality welcome basket.”

peaceful secure garden for our dog. Friendly village. Cottage was clean in all the expected areas bedding kitchen and bathrooms just needs a real good deep clean.

- Nicola, September 2023
Michael July 2023

“Had a wonderful week here and would visit again Lovely Cottage close to all the Northumberland and Border sites, towns and the wonderful beaches.”

Also a very good pub for food and drinks 100yds away and a fantastic golf course close by at Goswick Links. Happy Days all round

- Michael, July 2023

Thank you and we are delighted you had such a nice stay. The golf at Goswick is championship stuff though it is not a well known gem, although you played it just after the regional open qualifier which makes a real test. Property Owner
Jayne June 2023

“We loved the coach House.”

It was a beautiful building with a fantastic secure garden for the dog. Central location to all the sights of Northumberland. Very clean, comfortable and had everything provided. Wonderful welcome pack when we arrived with tea, coffee, sugar, cheese, bread, and even the ingredients for a Bolognese. We will be returning. Pub 5 mins walk sells exceptional food and has a good atmosphere, and lovely staff. This was one of the best cottages we have stayed in with Sykes. Thanks, Jayne, Ron and Gillian. X

- Jayne, June 2023

Thank you for your comments, they are appreciated and will look forward to your return. Property Owner
Lesley May 2023

“The Coach House was perfect for our stay.”

My elderly parents were perfectly accommodated in the downstairs bedroom with en-suite. The layout of the downstairs area was perfect for us as we could decide wether to sit and watch TV, play games at the table or sit reading or chatting in the sunny entrance hall ‘sun room’. We chuckled about getting my elderly father on a ladder to clear the few cobwebs from the very top of the stove-pipe in the double height living area .. he’d have given it a go ( and we’d then we’d probably be reviewing A&E ,too!). The upstairs rooms were spacious and light with fabulous views. The Juliette balcony doors didn’t open - so it was a little hot as we were blessed with superb weather. Lowick is perfectly placed for Northumberland’s tourist attractions, ccastles, and beaches - and the border of Scotland is easily reached (within 20mins) for more activity ideas. The garden was lovely and the patio is a sun trap. Plenty of off street parking for at leas three cars. All in all, a fabulous find!

- Lesley, May 2023

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and and found the Coach House an ideal cottage for visiting this wonderful area. Yes it is major task to get to the top of the ceiling requiring extended ladders!! Also I am not sure why you were not able to open the Juliette balcony doors as they are accessible and we would have been more than happy to have sorted it. Property Owner
Laura May 2023

“We enjoyed the cottage very much.”

It was lovely and spacious for the two of us, with a great garden for our dog and to enjoy the swallows flying overhead. We enjoyed lots of trips within easy reach; Berwick, Edinburgh, Alnwick, Bamburgh and walked lots on the big, clean, quite empty beaches. The pub over the road was great for a drink and food. We were lucky enough with the weather to be able to sit outside several times. It was a fantastic week away. I just wish it hadn’t gone so fast!

- Laura, May 2023
Shirley April 2023

“Really enjoyed our stay in the Coach House.”

Lovely area and the welcome hamper was well thought out of what guests may need. The log fire in the evenings made it really cosy. Only minor niggles, one was the ensuite bathroom downstairs, excellent shower, but would have preferred a solid door instead of a curtain from the room into the ensuite. The description of showers over the baths was not quite right in that they could not be used for showers as no curtains there and one had a sloping roof. Son-in-law 6' 2" would not fit in either! Didn't spoil anything and everyone loved downstairs shower. Would consider going back again.

- Shirley, April 2023
Carol March 2023

“Our second visit to this lovely property!”

Our friends (who couldn’t join us at New Year because of covid infection) joined us on this visit….They were very impressed. Now thinking of coming back at the end of this year. Thanks for the hamper full of goodies!

- Carol, March 2023
Sally March 2023

“Second visit.”

Superb welcome pack. Great facilities and beautiful cottage. Plenty of super walks nearby and central for exploring the beautiful Northumberland. Thankyou!!

- Sally, March 2023
Shaun February 2023

“Our second visit to the coach house, we have again had a lovely stay, such a comfortable cosy property with everything we need, and a lovely welcome hamper on arrival.”

Property is Ideally located for touring this wonderful area with so much to see. We have just booked another week in October so see you then!

- Shaun, February 2023
Jacqueline February 2023

“We had a lovely relaxing holiday in February at The Coach House, and could not fault the accommodation.”

The house was warm and welcoming and very comfortable, and we were amazed at the substantial welcome pack! The garden was perfect for our labrador - safe to let her mooch about on her own.The kitchen was pretty well equipped with everything we needed (though i admit we were more reheating rather than actually cooking) including a medium sized insulated cafetiere in which to brew some of the local Berwick roast coffee. Our host popped by a couple of times to check all was well and advised us on dog friendly beaches and eating out. Lowick is a great little village with two dog-friendly pubs and a well stocked shop with lovely fresh baked products, savouries and sweet. Very central and nowhere seemed very far away. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The only word of warning would be that February is before a lot of the local attractions open eg Alnwick Castle, so if you plan to go somewhere specific, check opening dates! We had a perfect week of relaxation and pottering around the area, and this whole holiday suited our 3 generations of ladies (and Lilly the dog!) perfectly. Thank you.

- Jacqueline, February 2023
Iseult January 2023

“This is a gem of a property in a great locality.”

Easy access to so many places. Comfortable home with a great attention to detail. Everything you could possibly need in terms of equipment in the kitchen. We had a wonderful holiday and coming back to the Coach house in the evening,after a day visiting places was the icing on the cake! Welcome box with local produce was much appreciated. Thank you Russell and Katrina.We hope to return for another visit.

- Iseult, January 2023

So pleased you enjoyed your stay and hopefully you will bring your clubs next time to play for championship links courses. Property Owner
Carol December 2022

“We really enjoyed our New Year week at the Coach House.”

As did our dog Elsa who settled in immediately! The cottage has a lovely “feel” to it, and was very cosy and warm. We have never had such a generous welcome hamper at any other property we have visited in the past!! Thanks for that, and thanks also for checking that we were happy and settled for our week away. ,

- Carol, December 2022

We are pleased that you had such a lovely stay in the cottage it was just unfortunate that your companions couldn't join you. Property Owner
Bernard December 2022

“We enjoyed our stay at the Coach House very much.”

The welcome pack was very much appreciated and tasty. The main living area was nice and warm and cosy especially when the log burner was on. Enough kindling and logs for a couple of days was left to get started. More kindling wood if needed is available in the shop in the village and logs at the garage at Beal. Kitchen is very well lit and well kitted out. Russell, the owner lives next door and is very helpful, even knocked to tell us the fish and chip van was going to be in the village. There is ample supply of very hot water, great for baths. A nice relaxing week at the Coach House.

- Bernard, December 2022

Delighted your stay was comfortable and especially cosy with the snow and frosty weather. Property Owner
Martin November 2022

“Disappointed in the cleanliness of the property considering there was a late check in policy post COVID.”

E.g. dust,cobwebs, dead flies in lights, crumbs and tea cakes remains in toaster, dirty cutlery, plates, crumbs in kitchen drawers, old kitchen foil in cooker, dirt around washing machine, dripping taps, skirting boards dirty, no means of lighting fire, dust behind bed and bedside cabinets..Appears to have had little or no cleaning before we arrived.

- Martin, November 2022
Philippa October 2022

“The Coach House is a lovely property, in a beautiful & peaceful location.”

Well presented & very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped & the welcome basket was such a lovely surprise. The beds are very comfortable. All in all a great place to stay

- Philippa, October 2022
Thomas September 2022

“This cottage is perfect for: Visiting the Scottish Borders, access to local HistoricHouses, just getting away from it all if you choose to.”

Warm rooms, constant hot water, dish washer tablets provided, and if you choose to cook your own meals every thing you need is there. Nice welcome basket. Only problem isdriving up the A1 at present (202 Newcastle Road Works)

- Thomas, September 2022

Thank you for the feedback is appreciated and delighted that your stay was enjoyable Property Owner
Anna May 2022

“This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.”

It is in an ideal position for exploring the many charms of Northumberland and is very quiet and peaceful for those restful evenings and days in the garden. Highly recommended.

- Anna, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback, It is a shame that the weather was not better for you as the sun in the evenings is directly into the garden. Property Owner
Anthony April 2022

“We had a fantastic week at The Coach House.”

The house is really well appointed and equipped. We are a family of six plus a dog and we were really comfortable, with plenty of space for us all. The property was spotlessly clean on our arrival and the generous welcome pack was very much appreciated. Lowick was ideally located for the coast and the Cheviot Hills, with many of the local attractions being only a few minutes drive . We would fully recommend The Coach House.

- Anthony, April 2022

Your review is welcomed and we are delighted that you had an enjoyable visit. Property Owner
Beverley March 2022

“The cottage was lovely.”

Close to lots of good places to visit. It was warm and cosy and the beds were comfortable. The owners left a welcome pack which was much appreciated and logs for the fire. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for my elderly parents and has an en-suite. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Overall, a lovely place to stay.

- Beverley, March 2022

We are delighted that you found our cottage a cosy and lovely place to stay in order to see what this area has to offer. Property Owner
Garry March 2022

“We had a great time!”

Ideal for two old folk and an equally old dog. The property had a good secure garden for our dog and the welcome pack was most welcome! The Coach House is really at the heart of Northumbria with some fabulous beaches recommended by the owner. We will definitely book again, next time with our children and grandchildren. Well done The Coach House!

- Garry, March 2022

Thank you and we are delighted that you enjoyed the stay at the Coach house and all that this part of Northumberland has to offer. Property Owner
Andrew February 2022

“Great stay at The Coach house.”

It was cosy, comfortable and clean. Russell, the owner, checked that everything was fine once we had settled in. Cottage is in a very good location for exploring Northumberland.

- Andrew, February 2022
Jayne February 2022

“We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children and we had a wonderful stay in the coach house.”

It was perfect for us and Russell was excellent at communicating with us. They live next door and assured us that if we needed anything, to pop round and tell them. We stayed the week of storms Dudley and Eunice! But the coach house stayed lovely and warm with the wood burner being a real focal point in the lovely double height sitting area. There was always loads of hot water for piping hot baths and showers which we really appreciated after a day out and about. The pub across the road ( The Black Bull inn) is wonderful with fab food. To sum everything up….. the coach house is in a beautiful part of England, and has everything you need for a holiday. The owners left a very well stocked welcome pack full of locally sourced products and there was a big bunch of daffodils to welcome us too. We would love to return one day!

- Jayne, February 2022

Thank you so much for your review and we are delighted that you had an enjoyable stay even if the weather wasn't kind to you. Property Owner
Shaun February 2022

“Warm, cozy converted coach house with super comfy bed!”

Very well appointed property but with a nice traditional feel about it. Although we had some quite chilly nights we did not need to use the wood burner as the central heating kept the property lovely and warm. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and much appreciated on arrival. The only small disappointment for me were the sofas in the main lounge just weren't the type that you could comfortably relax in at the end of the day, which detracted a little from what was otherwise a charming cosy property. Would definitely return to the coach house though, and would recommend as a great base for anybody wishing to visit this wonderful area. Thanks for a great stay

- Shaun, February 2022
Ian January 2022

“We had a lovely stay at The Coach house and thank you for the welcome pack much appreciated.”

The house was really warm and cosy and felt at home soon as we got there. I would imagine it would be nice to sit outside on a late summers night with warm weather. Thank you

- Ian, January 2022
Janice December 2021

Thank you for your kind comments, it is appreciated and hope to see again next year Property Owner
Nikki October 2021

“A lovely relaxing stay at the Coach House in Lowick.”

The property is very comfortable and well-equipped - plenty of space for a family with two teenagers and a dog. A lovely welcome pack too which we very much enjoyed! We loved the log burner and made good use of it on the dark October evenings. The enclosed garden is is a great asset and would be a lovely place to sit and eat out in spring and summer. We enjoyed exploring the area, beautiful beaches and stunning castles. All in all a great family holiday - thank you! :-)

- Nikki, October 2021

Thank you for that review. We are delighted that the cottage enabled you to have such a pleasant time. Property Owner

“Lovely welcome basket, more than usual in that.”

Owners were great, checked up at start and end of holiday. Very relaxing house, good vibes. Entrance hall sofa was particularly comfortable. Lovely local village. Great base for all local attractions. Lowick park was a particularly exciting find. Would recommend.

Chrissy May 2021

“We were very pleased with the Coach House which was very well fitted out with all the facilities and equipment that one could expect of a good sized rental property.”

There were a very few snags with equipment, for example the knives were totally blunt, and the house facilities, the boiler was running on a different time zone (!), but nothing that we couldn't live with very easily. We really enjoyed our week's stay and left with much sadness. The village is delightfully quiet with modest traffic (loudest things were the blackbird and song thrushes at dawn!), a handy shop, great pub just across the road, lots of footpaths within a couple minutes walk or drive, good recycling and was very close to lots of famous Northumberland attractions: all in all a great house and location. We'll be back!

- Chrissy, May 2021
Elizabeth October 2020

“Thank you. A lovely restful week at The Coach House, which we were fortunate enough to fit in before the 2nd national lockdown.”

The house is well equipped, very comfortable with an excellent heating system. We didn’t use the wood burner but can imagine on a cold winters day it would be lovely and cosy. A good stock of logs had been left to be used. The downstairs shower was very efficient. A bonus was a lovely basket of local goodies which had been left for us, all of which were available at the well stocked village shop which also sold delicious sausage rolls. The Coach House owner was away at the time of our visit but had left us an email address in case we needed anything. The local pub was a 2 mins walk and looked very inviting however we didn’t go in because we were staying away from other people where possible. Next time we shall certainly eat in there. Lowick is a small and very pretty village but the larger costal areas of Lindisfarne, Bamburgh and Seahouses are only a short drive away. In the summer months the Farne Islands can also be easily reached. We look forward to booking again once the travel restrictions have been lifted.

- Elizabeth, October 2020
David October 2020

“The accommodation had both pros and cons.”

The pros. The beds were all very comfortable. The downstairs en-suite shower was spacious and powerful. The location was very handy for the local pubs and village shop. The kitchen was adequately provisioned and the welcome pack was very good and appreciated. The provision of wood for the wood burner was generous. The cons. The place did not do justice to its photographs. It was in truth rather shabby and tired. The place was in need of decorating. The curtains and blinds were quite scruffy and difficult to operate. A lot of the light bulbs had failed throughout the property. The cooker hob light and extractor fan were not working. The sink was badly discoloured and the worktops and kitchen unit fronts stained. For some reason the property had a lot of flies and the window sills had a lot of dead ones. On our first night the central heating boiler, WiFi router and a number of power sockets failed because of an electrical problem. This was sorted out by the owner who, although on holiday himself, got someone round quickly to sort out. The other issue with the electrics was a constant hum from the main ceiling light in the living room that was very off putting. Because the standard lamp in the living room also didn’t work the only light in the evening was from the spotlight in the kitchen and some very dull wall lights. The outside parking was adequate for 2 vehicles at a push but no way for the three advertised. Finally, we could find very few or any instructions regarding any of the appliances or white goods. For the money paid the property would have been worth it if it’s standard was as it appears in the photographs on your website and the issues outlined hadn’t been present. As it was we were disappointed and unlikely to rebook this particular property. This is a property in need of some TLC after which it would be excellent.

“A wonderful cottage with lovely facilities and a wonderful location in a very friendly village.”

The local pubs and local shop had wonderful staff so friendly and helpful which made our holiday and the lovely kind owners of the cottage were friendly and helpful and recommended some lovely walks to take our dog. We would highly recommend this cottage and a fabulous base to explore the wonderful highlights of Northumberland.

- Paul, September 2020
Tanya September 2020

“A very well maintained cottage.”

Owners left the cottage very clean and there was a very generous welcome pack on arrival which included milk, cheese, butter, eggs, wine, pasta with sauce and shortbread. All rooms were very homely and beds comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with pots and pans etc, living room had wood for the stove. They even left a parking disc which was helpful during outings. All in all, a very comfortable stay, would highly recommend.

- Tanya, September 2020
Shirley August 2020

“We had a lovely holiday in this very cosy but spacious well equipped cottage.”

The downstairs bedroom with ensuite was ideal for our elderly parents. Bamburgh, Alnwick, Holy Island and Berwick just a short drive away. The owners, who live next door, were very helpful with an oxygen delivery/collection for my father. They also left us a box of apples on our departure, thank you. We'll certainly be back!

- Shirley, August 2020
Carolynne August 2020

“Absolutely fantastic cottage, plenty of things to do.”

. Lovely welcome basket, bread, milk and cheese and a few other bits and bobs... loads of space to move about and wonderful garden to sit out in.. Highly recommended by myself and the rest of the family Thank you for making our stay so special

- Carolynne, August 2020
Tricia February 2020

“The Coach House at Lowick is perfectly positioned to explore the beautiful Northumbrian coast and countryside.”

It is within easy driving distance of Berwick, Bamburgh, Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands. The three- bedroom house is spacious and comfortable with a big sitting room and well-appointed kitchen. It’s a joy to be able to get back to the Coach House after a winter day’s sightseeing, walking or birdwatching and wind down with dinner at the family-sized dining table and then to relax in front of the wood burning stove. Everything was in situ to make our stay comfortable, even down to a super cot cover for my granddaughter. There were plenty of logs for the evenings and our welcome pack was one of the best I’ve come across. We’re looking forward to returning to Northumbria very soon and the Coach House will be high on the list of places to stay.

- Tricia, February 2020
Matthew December 2019

“Great house in fantastic location with 2 village local pubs and shop.”

Short drive to beautiful unspoiled beaches. Berwick, Alnick, Alnmouth all within short drive and Edinburgh only 90 minutes away. Cottage itself was lovely inside and kitchen included everything required and more. Lots of games and books Hosts left great and thoughtful welcome hamper (incl. Christmas chocolates) and also had a Christmas tree and decorations up.

Sarah December 2019

“Downstairs shower might benefit from a separate hose!”

But this is a very small bit of feedback. We loved our cottage.

Valerie November 2019

“The coach house really took our breath away, everything you needed for a wonderful stay.”

We found the coach house very comfortable and very clean. The amenities were first class good parking and two wonderful bathrooms just what you need for six. We went out everyday and found Lowick to be a just right for long walks and trips to the holy island and Berwick-upon-Tweed.there is so much to do,so definitely will be back. You are in walking distance of two Great pubs both served wonderful food at affordable prices.we would just like to say a very big thank you to the owners, who left us with a really useful welcome pack including among others eggs, milk etc in order that we could have a hot drink on our arrival. After a long drive it was much appreciated. All in all we had a great time.

- Valerie, November 2019

“As a regular user of Sykes cottages I have to say this is one of the best we have stayed in!”

The wifi connection was excellent thus making the grandchildren extremely happy. This cottage is of a high standard and the owners, although living next door, are extremely helpful but not intrusive. The extensive welcome pack was very much appreciated! This is an excellent base from which to explore North Northumberland and all the delights it has to offer. I am more than happy to recommend this property to others!!

“This was our second stay at the Coach House, this time for two weeks.”

As before, we thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage is very welcoming and comfortable and the 'goodies' on arrival were much appreciated. We had a couple of minor issues as we lost wi-fi for a few days and the 'phone did not work but these did not affect our lovely relaxed stay. The owners from next door were very friendly and helpful. What is also nice about the cottage is that it is in a friendly village with two good pubs and a nice friendly shop. The cottage could probably do with a bigger screen television but not a major issue. We look forward to returning.

“Cottage was very nice and welcome pack was one of the best we have encountered.”

The owner was very nice. What was very important to us at time of booking was a peaceful location and secluded garden to enjoy. Following an earlier review from one of your customers about undisclosed building works going on Sykes sent an email warning that there were some building works going on and to contact them if I had concerns. I did have concerns about any building works and was considering cancelling the booking. I contacted Sykes and they said they would find out more about what the building works were and they would get back to me. They didn't !. I therefore contacted them and they said they had checked with the owner and that the building works were minimal and down the road. On arrival at the property we found that a large house was being built right next to the cottage boundary with extensive scaffolding and works being carried out at the gable end overlooking the cottages garden which meant the builders could look straight down into the garden of the cottage with no privacy. The builders commenced work at 8 am during the weekdays with associated machinery noise. It was far from the peaceful holiday we had been seeking and most disappointed as we felt as we had been misled and we would have certainly have cancelled the booking if we had known how near the building work was to the cottage and lack of privacy.

Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that the building work caused more disruption than expected. I can see that you were given the opportunity to cancel prior to your stay and we did tell you all we knew at the time when we spoke to you. As we then did not hear from you until 2 days after your stay, we were unable to help during your stay. I am glad that you still enjoyed your stay otherwise and am sorry for any inconvenience caused.

“Lovely cottage, very comfortable with all the home comforts.”

Excellent welcome basket of local goodies was very much appreciated. Ideal location to visit many of Northumbria’s fantastic attractions.

“The holiday cottage has a lovely big garden perfect for the dog to exercise and is situated in a quiet village with a few local good pubs.”

It is pretty central to many attractions we travelled on average 30 minutes to get to places we wanted to visit. The cottage itself is a nice cottage but is a little dated and although the bed linen and bathrooms were clean the general cleanliness was a little poor, e.g. rugs and sofas etc need a good clean. Also the cleaner was outside waiting for us to leave even though we hadn't exceeded our time limit and we thought this was a little unnecessary. We've been going on holiday two to three times a year for 5 years with Sykes and have been generally really happy with the cottages we've stayed in but we will not be recommending or returning to this one.

“The property was excellent in every way, and very comfortable.”

Even the 'reception pack' that was on the dining-table when we arrived was the best we have ever had. We met the owner, Russell Want, on a number of occasions as he lives next door and was very helpful. One criticism we have is the poor WiFi coverage throughout the property. It was excellent if you were close to the fireplace in the living-room, but it was virtually non-existent anywhere else. We tried to find the router out of curiosity, but were not successful. We suspect the WiFi signal was coming from next door, but cannot be sure. In today's obsession with smart phones and iPads, we think they must be able to get WiFi coverage anywhere within the property.

“Beautiful excellent accommodation in a wonderful location.”

Easy access to lots of local attractions but quiet and secluded. Village pub and shop provided ample options without having to venture far from base but close to Berwick for food shops etc. Lovely welcome package and friendly and helpful but unintrusive owner enhanced the stay. Everything in the cottage was clean, comfortable and in good order. We would willingly return and would certainly recommend to friends wanting to visit the area.

“Lovely spot.”

Well equiped house. Toasty warm despite bad weather. Perfect for 5 of us plus dog. My elderly father in law had downstairs bedroom with en suite. I must apologise to them for breaking chopping board. I had insurance. Please let me know if they want to take it further.
