“A beautiful property, in the centre of this charming village.”

The Old Exchange is well equipped, very clean and extremely comfortable. Plenty of information on hand for amazing days out, scenic walks, or historic places to visit, so much to see and do, a week was just not long enough. The owner of the property was on hand for any issues (which are unlikely, we had none). I would highly recommend this property

Thank you Sally very much appreciated. John & The Old Exchange Team Property Owner
Lauren July 2024

“The location was perfect - so easy to get around town, and close to every shop and pub and bakery that you could want.”

The independent book shop is right across the street! The kids and I love Corbridge deeply, and this was a wonderful spot to stay in town. We used it as a base to hike Hadrian's Wall, and it was perfectly equipped for the task. (Scott and his team from Executive Taxis made the pick ups and drop offs possible.) Everything was as described and we could not have been happier. As a general whole, we have been extremely happy with every rental we have taken from Sykes. Highly recommend!

- Lauren, July 2024

Lauren So pleased you enjoyed, sorry I was away and didn’t get a chance to meet you all. Another time perhaps and thank you for your kind review. John and The Old Exchange Team Property Owner
Nicola May 2024

“A lovely characterful property, excellent proportions and fabulous location.”

Directions to the property and local information given proved very useful. The property is in need of a few tweaks to make it a perfect stay, some small repairs and redecorating worn areas are required. At other properties we have had fresh milk and sometimes bread or something to make a snack which is great after travelling for a while and often toiletries are provided such as shower gel/shampoo. I understand the owner was away and perhaps that is why these were omitted and as the local supermarket was within a few steps it was not a problem. Overall we had a lovely week and I would recommend this property to friends and family.

Pam March 2024

“Brilliant location, right in centre of Corbridge.”

All bedrooms are very comfortable with en-suite. Kitchen has all amenities you would need if eating in. We chose a different cafe each day for breakfast and all were great. Plenty choice for evening too! Lots of various shops including award winning bakery, local butchers and specialised retail shops to browse round. Train station to Carlisle or Newcastle walkable in around 20/30 mins. Good and regular bus service too. Lots of attractions and interesting places to visit. The owner John is very friendly, extremely knowledgeable about Corbridge and Northumbria and enthusiastic to share with you. He genuinely wants you to enjoy your stay whilst staying at The Old Exchange. Parking is off road at rear and welcomed. Would definitely recommend, a beautiful part of the UK with plenty to keep you busy!!

- Pam, March 2024
Cheryl October 2023

“Great accommodation.”

Three double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms, one with very short corridor to bathroom. Plus a toilet/utility room. Spacious and comfortable living room. Perfect for a large family or 3 couples. Perfect location in the town of Corbridge. Everything is within walking distance - restaurants, tea rooms, bakery, shops, a deli next door, a small supermarket a few doors down, and The Pele bar about 100 metres away. Would recommend.

- Cheryl, October 2023

Thank you. You are most kind. Great guests. We hope to see you again in the future. John and The Old Exchange Team Property Owner
Martin October 2023

“This cottage is in a superb central village position above two shops, outside is a bus stop to Hexam or Newcastle.”

(No 10 ), the property is very well kept, clean , with three comfortable double rooms all en suite. You do have 2 or 3 flights of stairs to the main rooms and bedrooms. Someone said the church bells can be heard, hardly noticed them, they are not loud or intrusive. There is off street parking for 2 or 3 cars. The owner is very helpful for information and instructions with pictures on getting there, keys etc, and rang to see if everything was OK. It was. Th village of Corbridge and surrounding area has excellent walks, good access to Hadrians wall and the abbey at Hexam. We would highly recommend this as a base to explore.

- Martin, October 2023
Angela September 2023

“We loved staying at The Old Exchange.”

The owner was very helpful with information about where to eat and places to explore. The house was light and roomy as well as a bit unusual. Corbridge is very attractive, with many places of historical interest nearby. On our doorstep were lots of pubs, restaurants and cafes. There were many interesting shops and it has a train station which houses a famous Indian Restaurant. There is also a good bus service. I highly recommend both Corbridge and The Old Exchange.

- Angela, September 2023
Ewan August 2023

“The Old Exchange is a lovely property right in the heart of Corbridge, itself a pretty town with all the amenities you could want with a super bakery, butcher, green grocer, deli and pubs all within 2 mins walk.”

Off street parking was super in a town that is otherwise challenging for parking (if a little tricky to get in and out of at times), and the property was very spacious and comfortable. It was very well equipped, especially in the kitchen and the bedrooms were great with views over the rooftops to the hills from the window seats. The owners were proactive and friendly and made themselves available for questions and queries.

- Ewan, August 2023
Beverley August 2023

“An excellent, well maintained, comfortable and well equipped property in an ideal central location with designated parking.”

There are plenty of amenities within walking distance. Anyone booking the property needs to be aware that they are staying in the middle of a large village so there will be noise from traffic and the church bells but it was of no consequence to us. Ideal property for those travelling around the locality needing a break from the car. Have given five stars for every category because where there was a very tiny issue the owner responded immediately. We also appreciated his knowledge about the area We needed to stay in Corbridge for a few days to attend a wedding so it was perfect accommodation and location for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Exchange and will not hesitate to book the property again.

- Beverley, August 2023
Julie July 2023

“‘The Old Exchange’ is very comfortable and perfectly positioned for exploring this particular area of Northumbria.”

The apartment is spacious and well kitted out. The kitchen had everything one would need apart from egg cups. We all slept well in the comfortable beds. The apartment is positioned in the heart of the village with independent shops, good pubs and beautiful countryside all within a few minutes walk. John, the owner, was very helpful re directions and recommendations. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend staying in the apartment.

- Julie, July 2023
Eric May 2023

“Excellent stay in great location.”

Parking is an issue at present as building work ongoing in adjacent property, but still sufficient for two cars.

- Eric, May 2023
P October 2022

“A great location, well -furnished and equipped in the delightful town of Corbridge.”

We will definitely return in the New Year.

- P, October 2022
Iain August 2022

“We had a lovely stay in the old exchange, the property was very comfortable and the area was beautiful”

- Iain, August 2022
Kate August 2022

“The main reason I have not scored this property higher is due to the noise from the chiming church clock (every 15 minutes) and the noise from the bus stop (first bus at 5.”

30am) directly outside the property. This meant that we didn’t sleep well, which is not ideal when on holiday. However, the property was spacious and generally well-equipped. The owner was extremely helpful and came round to lend us a desk fan to help with the heatwave, as the top floor bedrooms were very warm when we arrived. He also gave us lots of useful information about the local area, which was appreciated. He also came to clean the table and chairs in the garden so that we could sit outside. Some areas of the property could have done with a little more TLC eg there were cobwebs and spiders in the main bathroom, and lots of dust and fluff under the upstairs beds, and the window in the main bedroom would not stay open. Also for the price I would have expected a smart TV in the property. Corbridge is a lovely town and we enjoyed exploring the area.

- Kate, August 2022
Christine August 2022

“We had a great stay.”

Extremely comfortable accommodation and everything you need on your doorstep. Corbridge is a lovely town. Couldn’t fault it.

- Christine, August 2022
Judith July 2022

“Corner bath hard to use, had to buy bath mat but was reimbursed by owner.”

Evidence of mould around bath.Windows had lots of cobwebs. Washer took some time to get to work despite looking at instruction book and needed cleaning before use from build up of fluff debris presumably from tumble drier. There was room for three cars but only just adequate.

- Judith, July 2022
David June 2022

“Excellent holiday accommodation in a quiet & secluded part of the Durham countryside.”

Surrounded by lovely farming land & within walking distance of Brancepeth village. Very hospitable & helpful hosts. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to visit Durham City & explore the Durham countryside.

- David, June 2022
Dawn June 2022

“A very nice flat in a central position in Corbridge.”

Very tastefully furnished with comfortable beds. We found the oven very basic and we could have done with a bit more cutlery as there were only 4 teaspoons. These were only minor things and the owner was very helpful and easy to contact.

- Dawn, June 2022
Joy May 2022

“Lovely accommodation, plenty to see & do in the area.”

We struggled finding places to eat out maybe because it was school/bank holiday but would advise reserving a table to avoid disappointment. We also struggled with the oven which took an age to get to temperature.

- Joy, May 2022
Fiona April 2022

“Beautiful home in a beautiful area.”

Plenty of space for a family of 5 (with 3 teenage children) And 2 car parking spaces in the middle of corbridge! A brilliant place to stay with lots of history right on the doorstep. Thank you.

- Fiona, April 2022
Steven April 2022

“You could not get more central.”

Top location and spacious, warm and comfortable accommodation. En-suite to all rooms. Parking fantastic we enjoyed a week and could have stayed longer. Great value. Only downside was the oven took ages to heat a pizza took 40 mins we could have missed something in the operation but marks not clear. You must get fish and chips at the Angel !!!! We will return. Great tips from the owner/manager. Hidden Gem.

- Steven, April 2022
Geoff March 2022

“This place is truly wonderful, very spacious and very comfortable.”

The kitchen is very well equipped should you want to cook and everywhere was very clean. The location is just perfect, near to so many facilities eg shops, tea rooms and pubs/restaurants There were 6 of us of various ages and we all loved the accomodation, a real home from home feel, just perfect.

- Geoff, March 2022
Scott March 2022

“The property was in an excellent central location in the village and was very well equipped with all the amenities you would need for your holiday.”

There are many restaurants, cafes and pubs all within walking distance and dry good transport links with a train station and local bus routes if you don’t want to use your car. The owner was very helpful in providing information for local tourist spots and provided good recommendations for eating out. The locals were genuinely friendly and staff in all the village pubs were very welcoming. We are looking forward to visiting again in the future.

- Scott, March 2022
Mandy December 2021

“The Old Exchange is a perfect place to explore Northumberland from with fantastic amenities on the doorstep.”

The owner was incredibly helpful and welcoming and we couldn't fault the property - really comfortable and has everything you need. We would highly recommend a holiday here.

- Mandy, December 2021
Margaret September 2021

“The information on key collection and local knowledge from the owner was fantastic, the owner made suggestions of places to visit, some of which we used all where as good, if not better, than our expectations!”

The facilities in the apartment enabled us to cook some evenings, plenty of crockery etc so only needed to put the dishwasher on once a day. The beds were comfortable, if a litte softer than some of the party are used to, however that is personal preference and no reflection on the comfort, plenty of pillows and towels. All in all a very comfortable place to stay and we would happily stay here again. Thank you for providing such great information!

- Margaret, September 2021
Nigel September 2021

“This is a great flat/apartment with three good sized bedrooms each with en-suite facilities.”

The owner is super-attentive providing ideas of where to go/to eat etc. Lounge is very comfy and kitchen well equipped. Corbridge itself is a very good hub for a holiday from a viewpoint of the restaurants/pubs etc. The property is very close to both the local deli and the co-op supermarket - the combination of this and the local restaurants might lead you to putting on a few pounds in weight!

- Nigel, September 2021
Jane July 2021

“Fabulous accommodation in a great setting”

- Jane, July 2021
Veronica July 2021

“Corbridge is a very good base for Northumberland, particularly if you want to spend a lot of time exploring Hadrian’s Wall and the forts and museums along it.”

It’s also a great place in its own right with an interesting history and a very good range of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. There’s a handy Co-op store within a couple of minutes' walk, as well as a good butcher, bakery, delicatessen, etc. The Old Exchange was terrific – very comfortable and well-equipped, with easy parking and a very helpful owner who can advise on places to eat and visit locally.

- Veronica, July 2021
Andrew July 2021

“Comfortable, large apartment in a great location.”

Thoroughly recommended. Corbridge is a nice place to visit; lots of pubs and restaurants as well as interesting sights and walks.

- Andrew, July 2021
Helen May 2021

“A lovely very well appointed apartment.”

Extremely convenient for the pubs and independent shops of Corbridge along with the roman town and walks by the river. Great to have a parking space. The Hadrian's wall sites are all within half an hour's drive. All in all a brilliant holiday - we would definitely return again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

- Helen, May 2021
Glen September 2020

“The Old Exchange is a fantastic place to base yourself for a holiday It is clean, and generous in size with everything you need to have a relaxing stay.”

In these strange times we find ourselves in we certainly didnt have any concerns staying there. Corbridge is a lovely village and well worth a mooch around, and the whole area has something for everyone within a short drive or walk.

- Glen, September 2020
Neville August 2020

“It was easy to postpone and then rebook due to Covid-19.”

The Old Exchange has WiFi which we were very glad to find. We would be very happy to use this property again.

- Neville, August 2020
Nikola August 2020

“A very clean and cosy property.”

The owner went out of his way to ensure that our stay was perfect. Great location for getting out and about. Would definitely recommend this property and will probably be booking again.

- Nikola, August 2020
Iain August 2020

“Large comfortable house in the centre of Corbridge close to amenities.”

Helpful owner who advised on nearby attractions suitable for children

- Iain, August 2020
Eva August 2019

“We loved Corbridge but above all, we thought the Old Exchange was by far the best self catering accommodation we had stayed in (and we've stayed in a few over the years!”

). It was like a home from home: spotlessly clean, comfortable, warm. Even the kitchen equipment was of good quality (and a Miele washing machine!) The host, John, was most welcoming, considering we had not contacted him prior to arrival. The next time we go away, we will look at other properties owned/managed by Sykes cottages. It made our holiday. Excellent!!

- Eva, August 2019
Heather June 2019

“Can highly recommend this accommodation as a base for exploring the many attractions in this part of the world.”

In the middle of historic Corbridge, the apartment is very close to all the facilities you will need for your stay including shops, cafes and restaurants. A wider range of supermarkets and shops can be found in nearby Hexham. Having off-street parking is a real bonus as Corbridge can get very busy. The apartment is spacious with comfortable beds and three en-suite rooms, a well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge. Great place to stay and would certainly consider staying there again.

- Heather, June 2019
Claire May 2019

“This is the best self catering accommodation we've stayed in for a while and was perfect for us with two ensuite bedrooms.”

It had everything we could have wanted with a well appointed kitchen, clean and tidy and in an excellent location. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

- Claire, May 2019
Russell April 2019

“The property is in need of a deep clean - cobwebs and dust on light fitting and shades, bottom of shower doors black/green.”

Also starting to need some minor touch up to decor etc. The garden is an absolute sun trap and so quiet - but in desperate need of a tidy up - we did a bit ourselves so we could use it. The furniture in there was filthy and we scrubbed it down so we could enjoy sitting out there - such a shame as this could be a real selling point - its the perfect place to relax in.

- Russell, April 2019
Michael April 2019

“Great apartment in a lovely village with plenty of facilities.”

- Michael, April 2019
Ann March 2019

“Lovely place to stay everything perfect would stay again!”

The only negative is not being able to book for short break we had to pay for full week which is fine when sharing but sometimes could stay as four people or a couple if discount was offered for short break

- Ann, March 2019
Iain February 2019

“Lovely, comfortable cottage it’s plenty of room and in a great location.”

The owner was incredibly helpful and very knowledgable about the local area. We had a wonderful holiday.

- Iain, February 2019
Sally October 2018

“Perfect location in centre of Corbridge so within walking distance of shops and eating places.”

Beautiful big sunny lounge for relaxing after a walk and well equipped kitchen. Warm and comfortable with the added bonus of ample off street parking. Would recommend.

- Sally, October 2018
Robert July 2018

“Centrally located in the village, easy access to all facilities.”

Be aware that there are stairs involved however they ensure privacy and security. Bus stop right out front to Hexham and or Newcastle.

- Robert, July 2018
Lesley June 2018

“Excellent well equipped accommodation, in a beautiful village location with fantastic transport links to Newcastle and surrounding towns.”

Very friendly locals and plenty shops, pubs and restaurants nearby. We had a lovely family holiday and will definitely return.

- Lesley, June 2018
Patricia May 2018

“We have been staying at the exchange over the last five years.”

And it's our favourite place. so comfortable, and close to all amenities. Already booked for next year,

- Patricia, May 2018
Harriet April 2018

“The apartment is superb and very well equipped.”

The location is within minutes of a well stocked co-op, local shops, cafes pubs and restaurants and the area is beautiful. The owner could not have been more helpful and shared lots of useful tips about the area and fascinating local history.

- Harriet, April 2018
Joseph March 2018

“The cottage was right in the centre of Corbridge only feet from the main bus stop.”

Some of our party, with the help of their bus passes really appreciated being this close to public transport. The cottage was much bigger than expected and with every bedroom having its own bathroom, plus an extra toilet on the main living floor very well provided. We will look to go back there in the future since it delivered everything that we wanted.

- Joseph, March 2018
Eddie October 2017

“Lovely village, good location, amenities near.”

- Eddie, October 2017
Anthony May 2017

- Anthony, May 2017
Jessica April 2017

“Extremely well-equipped property in a superb location.”

Plenty of comfy couches. Above average quality showers and toilet facilities. Lovely local shops to wander around and a short walk from The Angel gastropub.Loved it.

- Jessica, April 2017
Peter October 2016

“This was the third year we had booked to stay for a week at this property and we expect to book for another year; the property meets all our requirements and is in an excellent location - a lovely village with all amenities to hand together with many national beauty and tourist spots close by.”

A half-hourly bus service which goes to Newcastle in one direction and the local town of Hexham in the other is just a step away from the front door of the property. We did feel that a little 'husbandry' in areas of the flat facilites would be worthwhile but will not put us off booking again!!!

- Peter, October 2016
Nicole September 2016

“The owner couldn't have done more to help us during our stay, and went above and beyond to make us as comfortable and satisfied as possible.”

- Nicole, September 2016
Christopher August 2016

“We were very grateful for the extra attention taken in making sure that all feather cushions, pillows and duvets were removed from the apartment.”

My husband is extremely allergic to them. We were also very grateful for the prompt attention of the owner in dealing with matters such as missing light bulbs and linen and a couple of minor plumbing issues. It was a very lovely place to have a holiday.

- Christopher, August 2016
Margaret April 2016

“It was in a very convenient position near a bus stop.”

It was comfortable and had everything I needed.

- Margaret, April 2016
Sharon July 2015

The owner was extremely helpful.

- Sharon, July 2015
Meryl May 2015

“The Old Exchange was a beautiful stay.”

Every bedroom had its own en suite, and all rooms were beautifully furnished and quite spacious. The property was so well situated - right in the centre of Corbridge and close to shops and fantastic pubs. The owner was so friendly and helpful, and gave us many ideas for things to see and do in the area.

- Meryl, May 2015
Brenda Valerie May 2015

“Corbridge is lovely place to stay.”

The owner was most considerate and welcoming. It was all excellent.

- Brenda Valerie, May 2015
Colin January 2015

“I wanted a break away from the Newcastle to relax and unwind and this property did exactly that.”

It certainly hit the mark and is as good as, if not better than a lot of other properties I've stayed at. To folk not familiar with the area it is in the perfect location to see Northumberland and Durham in all its glory. A first rate property.

- Colin, January 2015
Peter September 2014

“The property is lovely and in an enviable position, very well placed for public transport together with all the facilities of a wonderful town.”

The scenery is stunning!

Good facilities and location.

- Jan, August 2014
Nicola August 2014

“The apartment was very comfortable with a high quality finish.”

Comfy furnishings and beds, powerful showers. The owner was exceptionally helpful throughout the process, from telling me lots about the local area to swiftly dealing with a couple of queries I had. Nothing was too much trouble and he was courteous and practical.

- Nicola, August 2014
Jacqueline July 2014

Andrew October 2013

“A very comfortable and conveniently located accommodation.”

- Andrew, October 2013
Pamela September 2013

“This is the second time that we have had a family holiday in this property.”

I can thoroughly recommend it. The flat itself is of a high standard and the owner was attentive without being obtrusive. The flat is close to all village amenities, and there is a good bus service running to Hexham and Newcastle if driving is a problem. The local taxi service is good and local pubs and takeaways cater for all tastes.

- Pamela, September 2013
Anne July 2013

“The Old Exchange was everything we hoped for in holiday accommodation and Corbridge is a great place to spend some time.”

- Valerie, April 2013
Fiona October 2012

“We love Northumberland and this is our second visit to The Old Exchange.”

It is perfectly placed to tour the county and enjoy the coastline, castles and the countryside. The Old Exchange is a warm and cosy place to come home to after a day of exploration.

- Fiona, October 2012
Pamela September 2012

“Proximity to the local shops and church.”

Comfort of the apartment. Fact that the owner got in touch personally to check we were happy. Bus to Hexham or Newcastle outside the door but very little noise from outside. Private parking for 3 cars. Very comfortable beds with high class white bedlinen and towels provided. A first class holiday flat.

- Pamela, September 2012
Lesley September 2012

“Fantastic location with wonderful shops on the doorstep but also easy to get to walking and tourist attractions.”

- Lesley, September 2012

The property was exactly as shown and described on website. Having WiFi available was a very pleasant surprise.

“Excellent property in a very convenient position, in a beautiful area.”

Neighbouring mini-superstore was a real bonus.

Ideal location in the centre of the village.

- Mrs Griffin, January 2012

About the location

CORBRIDGE

Hexham 3 miles; Newcastle 16 miles.

A delightful historic village surrounded by beautiful unspoilt Northumbrian countryside, Corbridge offers much of interest, including specialist shops, old inns and a 12th century bridge spanning the river. Hadrian’s Wall and Housesteads Fort are nearby, whilst the market town of Hexham is a few miles away and is well worth a visit, with its narrow bustling streets, good selection of shops and a fascinating abbey boasting 15th century paintings and a fine Saxon crypt. The Border Country, Northumbrian coast, Kielder Forest with cycling and watersports, Beamish Open Air Museum and Durham Cathedral are all within easy motoring distance, while the Gateshead Metro Centre (one of the largest shopping centres in Europe) can be found 20 miles to the east. Excellent golf and fly and coarse fishing are also available locally.
