“We had a wonderful stay at Oak Cottage - very clean and comfortable with generous finishing touches, everything we could need.”

Thank you for the wonderful welcome pack - we can see why the cake recipe was included! The cottage is very convenient for Alnwick and Alnmouth and exploring the rest of the beautiful Northumberland coast. There is a nice circular walk from the cottage door round to the beaches at Alnmouth.

“Cobwebs in the bathroom, hairs on the floor, dust on towel rails.”

Tap in kitchen needs attention, loud screeching noise you could hear all round the house. Also front door lock needs attention, couldn’t get it to unlock. Regards Mrs Christine Butler Regards Mrs Christine Butler

we are sorry that you didn't contact us at the start of your stay to give us a chance to rectify any issues. we can confirm that bathroom and kitchen floors are 'wet vacuumed' and all carpets are thoroughly vacuumed during handover. we apologise that a cobweb and some dust were missed. we couldn't replicate the issue you had with the front door lock. we do have limited time to complete a handover and we did let you in early but we note that you didn't empty internal bins or strip beds which is surprising given your feedback. we are disappointed as our guest feedback on cleanliness has always been extremely positive.

“A very organised, clean and comfortable cottage in a convenient location accessible to all amenities, including walks, beach, restaurants, etc.”

Parking limited to one car next to the cottage. Stair to bedrooms very steep and care needed.

“Really lovely cottage with a great welcome pack - some lovely wine and home-made tealoaf.”

Lesbury is a great village and we enjoyed walking to the coast and running nearby. Local people seemed friendly and the village store was excellent. We appreciated the bedding options (I liked the feather pillow) and the fantastic log-burner. We had a very restful time and would recommend both the location and the cottage.

“Our third stay at this excellent property.”

The owners are very helpful and accommodated our additional requests. Pleased that this remains a dog free property. Both neighbouring properties are dog friendly, with dogs present during our stay, which is fine, but not to everyone’s liking. The 2 rating above relates to the letting agents (not the owners!) Disappointed with the lack of response from the Sykes to the emails that I sent prior to our stay and no contact telephone number to speak to someone. Very poor customer service! As a result I had to contact the owners direct who were exceptionally helpful and accommodating.

“Oak cottage was fabulous.”

It was clean and comfortable and very well equipped.Lots of thoughtful extras were provided (milk and butter in the fridge, wine, cake ,biscuits etc). The beds were very comfortable and the en suites were ideal as we were two couples, so no bathroom queues in the morning. It is in a lovely quiet location yet it was close to the station and a short drive from the coast and shops pubs and restaurants.We would have no hesitation in recommending the cottage.

“Clean, cosy, comfortable with two bedrooms of equal high quality.”

We hardly ever find that. Has everything we could ask for and is superbly equipped except for a small saucepan and a garlic press. We love the welcome basket, teas, coffee etc. etc. Top place.

“A lovely holiday experience.”

The cottage is absolutely lovely, it's so well equipped and the owners have provided everything we could have needed along with such thoughtful additional touches. We were lucky enough to have good weather but the cottage would have been a relaxing retreat whatever the weather. We'd love to stay again!
