“A lovely , clean, cosy cottage.”

The owner was very welcoming and there was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Plenty of parking available and lots of information on places to visit, things to do and places to eat . We were lucky with the weather and took time to sit in the garden in the late afternoon sun . Beautiful countryside all around.

Debby June 2024

“Lovely little cottage, perfect for 3 of us.”

Would have liked a few more cleaning products to have been left, like cloths, dettol for surfaces etc, but aldi & lidl down the round so wasn't a problem. Outdoor alarm clock was handy, though if they could get the cockeral to delay another hour or so would have been even better.

- Debby, June 2024

Dear Debbie Thank you for taking the time to review baytree cottage and your stay with us. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay, It was lovely meeting you all. Thank you for your comments about cleaning products, we are a bit conscious about leaving to many chemicals in the cottage as we have alot of family's that stay with children!! However we will leave in a safe place and let guests know. We have also had a word with Mr Cockerell about the his timing, and I understand that it should be OK going forward:)) Thanks again Hope to see you again in the near future. Kind regards Andrew Property Owner
Joanne April 2024

“The cottage was furnished nicely, the living room in particular.”

The kitchen would benefit from better chopping knives and would feel a bit tight if 6 people were staying and sitting round the large table. We were staying during a cold, windy week and the cottage felt cold. The location was handy, close enough to walk into Alnwick and a short drive to the coast. The views from the window were a little disappointing - the road and the farm machinery and buildings were the main things we saw - but looking past them we could see the fields. Some other places we've stayed had small amounts of tea, coffee, sugar and salt/pepper to get visitors going before they visit the shops. Now that COVID restrictions have been dropped, this might be a nice touch. We did appreciate the bottle of wine, thank you.

- Joanne, April 2024

Dear Joanne Thank you for choosing baytree cottage for your stay in Northumberland. We are delighted to hear that you liked the set up and furnishings in the cottage. Baytree cottage is indeed a magical place to stay at, on the farm, as every season has a completely different view/aspect with its own charm. We thank you for your feedback on provisions, all addressed now. We do hope that you return to enjoy more of Northumberland. All the best Andrew Property Owner

Beautiful views and in the grounds of Alndyke farm which added to the experience. Andrew was incredibly helpful , knowledgeable and always up for a chat despite being very busy running his farm. A great place as a starting point to explore all the beautiful beaches, towns and countryside. Can’t wait to go back.

Laura October 2022

“A lovely comfortable cottage in a central location to all we wanted to do and see.”

It was wonderful coming back most evenings especially after a drenching to open a bottle of wine and sit beside the logburner with a book relaxing. Utter bliss. The only item missing was a cafetiere and a check on up to date contact numbers is needed. I did text to ask a question and had no response. I certainly recommend this cottage.

- Laura, October 2022

Dear Laura It was a pleasure having in baytree cottage I am glad you enjoyed the facilties and had some good down time. We also appreciate your valuable feedback and can confirm that it's all been acted upon with new cafetiere and a complete up to date information file. Again thank you for your stay and hope to see you again soon. Andrew Property Owner
Andrew August 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Baytree Cottage, which was very comfortable.”

The owners were most helpful with advice finding the footpaths and cycle paths from the cottage as well as what else to see locally. We were undoubtedly helped by the warmest weather in Northumberland in 25 years, but will definitely return. It would be great to visit in colder months and sit by the woodburning stove.

- Andrew, August 2022

Hi Andrew Thank you for staying with us at baytree. It's always good to see guests enjoying their stay in the beautiful surroundings in Northumberland. Indeed you did well with weather, and yes it is equally as beautiful in the winter with its own very special feel and allure, always nice to come in to a warm fire,and a book perhaps and enjoy the peace. Until the next time, thanks again. Andrew Property Owner
Susan July 2022

“Equipment quite good, but would benefit from a new frying pan and a new cheese grater.”

Otherwise all fine

- Susan, July 2022

Hi Susan Thank you for stopping with us at baytree. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon. Thank you for your feedback which we truly appreciate and can confirm that it's been acted upon with both items. Kind regards Andrew Property Owner

Paul October 2021

“We had a really enjoyable stay at Baytree.”

The host (Andrew) spoke to us a few times during our stay and was very friendly and happy to talk to us about the area. We had a bottle of wine left for us when we arrived and were given some fresh eggs as well which were really nice! The location was perfect for exploring the coast and nearby areas. We thought the cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the inglenook log burner and there was plenty of logs supply available from the wood shed at the rear of the cottage. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend staying here.

- Paul, October 2021

Hello Paul It's great to know you had an enjoyable stay and that baytree cottage delivered the comfort and warmth you needed for your break. A very warm welcome awaits your return to lovely Northumberland and baytree. Regards Andrew Property Owner

Nicola August 2021

“The location of the cottage was great for Alnwick, Alnmouth and beyond.”

There was actually a footpath all the way into Alnwick which we would have used if we didn't have little ones with us and that would have saved us £3 on parking at the castle/gardens. The cottage was clean and very well equipped, despite having some things removed due to Covid. The host was very friendly and came to make sure everything was okay when we arrived and departed. We also enjoyed watching the cows in the field across the road, especially at feeding time. We had a small issue with the Wifi, which was remedied quickly, and I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage for someone wanting to stay in the area. It was a real home from home.

- Nicola, August 2021

Hi nicola Thank you for staying with us with your family and enjoying the holidays despite covid. The cottage has now been put back to its former glory and is very homely ,comfortable cosy. There are some new attractions in town/castle for the kids and all the family to enjoy. You are most welcome to come and stay again at your leisure. Kind regards Andrew Property Owner

“Lovely cottage in a great location.”

5 minute drive to the beach and only 5 minutes from the big supermarkets and shops. Some things had to be removed from the property due to government guidelines such as cushions from the sofa but to be expected. Lovely and clean, beds very comfy, wood burner lovely all in all a fab stay

Esther August 2020

“Lovely holiday cottage on a working farm.”

Extremely clean on arrival. Surprise bottle of wine waiting for us too! Good amount of kitchen utensils available, plenty of glasses, cups, plates, pots and pans. Lovely warm and welcoming farmhouse-type living room with real fire, which was very welcome on a typically colder English summer’s day! Comfy warm beds. The only thing to make it better would be a stronger shower, but water pressure can’t always be helped! Very friendly greeting from the owners and helpful in their advice of walks to enjoy. We love Northumberland generally but would definitely use this cottage again.

- Esther, August 2020

Dear Esther Thank you for choosing to stay with us at baytree cottage. We are glad that the property met with your expectations. We try and make every stay as comfortable and welcoming as possible for our guests. Its always a big reward to know that we delivered on our promise. We greatly appreciate your feedback as without it we would be unaware of improvements we can carry out. I can confirm that a new more powerful shower has been installed in the cottage upon your recommendation. Thank you again Andrew Property Owner

About the location

ALNWICK

Alnmouth 4 miles; Bamburgh 15 miles; Rothbury 10 miles.

The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.

Note: There is no car charging allowed at the property.
Please note: This property comes with a £200 good housekeeping bond.
Please note, pets are not to jump on furniture.
