“We had a really nice stay in November.”

The property was clean and well equipped and the owners made every effort to make sure we had a comfortable stay. The cottage is well located for day trips in the area, whether up the coast, down to Newcastle or over to Hadrian's Wall. The views from the cottage over to Coquet Island and further up the coast are wonderful in any weather.

Honestly the best holiday cottage I’ve stayed at and there’s been a few, it was spotless clean and comfortable and the view was fantastic, easy walk to the beach and circular walks with the dog, short drive to the town of Amble were you can everything you need, and the welcome pack was lovely, would recommend it and would love to visit again

“What a beautiful bungalow !”

Very clean, spacious and well equipped. Exceptional welcome pack which lasted all week. The property is ideally situated to explore all of Northumberland and the gorgeous coastal area of nearby Amble. Fabulous views of the coast from the property and lovely walks across the fields to the beach with the dogs. Morrisons supermarket 5 mins by car and nearby Amble Inn about a 20 minute walk away. Amble Sunday market is a must plus a boat trip via Puffin cruises to Coquet Island. Only negative is the picture on the TV possibly needs attention. We loved our time at Island View Cottage and will return !

“Cottage is just fab.”

Really clean, everything you might need, great access down to the beach through the field. Great proximity to Hauxley Wildlife Centre, to Amble, Warkworth, Alnmouth, Alnwick etc. Parking is a bit tricky for us as we have two cars. Seems to have got more difficult since we first came. But not a major issue.

Irene July 2024

“Very comfortable stay, welcome pack was very nice and much appreciated.”

Bungalow was clean and well equipped. Is based in a quiet cul de sac with good views from the rear of the bungalow of the local Coquet island. There is a beach near by which was very quiet and plenty of space, can be walked to but maybe not with young children or anyone with walking difficulties.

Bryan July 2024

“We loved our stay in your cottage.”

The kitchen was very spacious with all that we needed during our holiday. The lounge and dining area are very comfortable. The bedrooms are nicely decorated with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The views from the cottage are great, especially watching the birds and the view of Coquet Island. We were lucky to watch the swallows feeding their young in the nest built at the rear of the cottage.

- Bryan, July 2024

Alison July 2024

“This property exceeded our expectations.”

The photos on the website do not do this cottage justice. The view also is just stunning and the fact you can walk from the cottage to the beach is the icing on the cake! Kitchen is incredibly well equipped and the welcome pack superb!

- Alison, July 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback. Property Owner
Howard June 2024

“Very nice cottage with a lovely view; fully equipped and very clean.”

The only negative was we didn't find the sofa and mattresses very comfortable, but that may just be us. All in all a very enjoyable stay, thank you.

Julian May 2024

“A very welcoming, clean, comfortable, relaxing and well situated property with a very good view of Coquet Island from the lounge window.”

The comprehensive welcome package, including milk in the fridge was the best we have found so far in a holiday cottage. Off road parking a real bonus. A first class property that is a credit to the owners.

- Julian, May 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback. Property Owner
George May 2024

“The property was clean and very well equipped.”

In a lovely spot. The property owner had made every effort to make our stay enjoyable. However we came across a severe problem for us older people. We are both well over 80. Consequently the low suit in the lounge created problems for both of us. Don’t let this detract from a normal family enjoying their stay. The problem was ours, not the owners.

- George, May 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are sorry that sofa in the lounge was not suitable for you. Property Owner
Maureen April 2024

“An excellent house.”

Very clean, and had everything and more. It's nice when you go in holiday and arrive to find your accomodation is just like home. Would highly recommend.

- Maureen, April 2024

Lesley April 2024

“Lovely spacious well equipped bungalow.”

Welcome pack appreciated. Only problems we had were the lack of direct access to the enclosed rear garden. Also difficulty getting out of the parking space.

Adrian March 2024

“Lovely holiday home, a credit to the owners.”

Very cosy and comfortable. Everything clean and tidy, plenty of towels. Great, peaceful location, lovely walks on the beach, 10 min walk away. Looking forward to returning when the weather improves.

Thank you for your kind feedback. Property Owner
Ruth March 2024

“We had a lovely stay the cottage was spotless and the views were amazing.”

Just for us the double bed was too small so we used one of the other rooms. There was also quite a bit of staining in the worktops. The kitchen was very well equipped. There were lovely touches like the welcome pack, treats for the dogs and even an Easter egg.

- Ruth, March 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback we are aware that there are some marks on the kitchen worktops caused by hot pans. However, we do try to prevent this occurring by providing boards, pan stands etc but still damage has occurred. We are looking to replace the worktops at a suitable point where it doesn’t disrupt guests. In terms of the bed this is a standard double bed. Property Owner
Ian February 2024

“Our second time at this cottage and as before it was like staying in a home away from home.”

The cottage is warm and cosy and very comfortable. What is particularly impressive is the evident thought that the owners have put into making the cottage as welcoming as possible. The welcome pack on arrival was truly impressive! The cottage worked well for all of our party, ourselves, our one year old grandchild and our border collie Tess. We watched deer in the field out of the living room window as well as the drama of all the different birdlife which was a constant joy. This is a lovely cottage that I would recommend to anyone.

- Ian, February 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback. Property Owner
Sue October 2023

“Overall we were very happy with our stay at Island View Cottage.”

The only criticism was the TV could do with an update, the picture quality was poor and it wouldn’t interact with other items ie Bose headphones. Also the bath could do with a proper plug! However the views from the cottage are amazing and the Welcome Pack was the best ever.

- Sue, October 2023
Jane September 2023

“The bungalow is beautiful, so clean and comfortable.”

I do have a few issues I would like to raise though. The fact the owners home is next door is conveniently missing from the information listed,until the full payment has been made, and when I say next door, you could throw a stone from the rental house window into their window, it's a shared drive . There is no direct access to the back garden from the bungalow, you have to go out the side door, down the side of the garage and into the garden that way, which made it very awkward for our dog , the front garden is not secure at all so although you can get to it from the front door, it is again unsuitable and there was no mention of this on the description on sykes page. One of the reasons we choose Northumberland was to take advantage of the dark sky and do some star gazing, however as the owners house was in such close proximity and like I mentioned, to get to the back garden you had to walk right past one of the bedrooms on owners house, across a noisy gravel path, we felt it was unfair to be doing this and it would have meant leaving our dog locked in the house while we went outside. Lastly the photographs on the website are done very cleverly to make the gardens look much bigger than they actually are, and I feel this is also misleading. The property is very nicely furnished and spotlessly clean ,but had all the information I have mentioned been available I would not have chosen it and I feel sykes need to be clearer in the description

- Jane, September 2023

Thank you for your review of our property. I'd like to take this opportunity to correct some of the information provided above about the property and its relation to the owners' property (my house). Firstly, the property does have a shared driveway, but the driveway is adequate for 2 large cars, and it's several metres between my house and the holiday cottage (excluding the garage). Secondly, all the bedrooms in the owners' property are upstairs, away from the holiday cottage and do not overlook the cottage in any way. Thirdly, the front garden is enclosed with a gate at the front, hedges and a small garden wall. This is a lovely south-facing garden that is private. I am sorry the layout of our cottage prevented you from enjoying the wonderful dark skies we have in North Northumberland and its unfortunate that you felt having the owners' property next door was a negative point about our property.

“A well presented bungalow equipped with everything you could possibly need.”

Beautiful part of the country and well worth travelling yp from the South Coast

- Brian, September 2023
Joy August 2023

“Our stay was absolutely brilliant.”

The weather was great all week. The property was lovely. Sitting out in the gardens especially the back garden was great. It would be nice if a gate or opening was at side of property so you don't have to go out of front gate & walk around your car to get to back garden. Back gate was also broken. Views where fantastic. The welcome pack was well received by part of the party as the other person has intolerance to certain food. In the listing it is stated that there is parking for 1 car. It doesn't say that the car has to be a small car. I drive a pickup, mainly due to the job that I do in the NHS. I had to reverse vehicle every time we went out, which was every day. The lane is narrow & has obstacles all the way down (parked cars, scaffolding, bins) We came back to property to find the owner had mowed the lawns/pruning bushes, leaving behind a cord-less trimmer in the back garden. It could have caused injury to 1 of our dogs. Apart from these few little issues we had an amazing stay in Island View Cottage. We both would love to come back with our dogs.

- Joy, August 2023
Alison July 2023

“Really enjoyed our week in Northumberland and Island View proved to be an ideal base for exploring the area.”

Cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped with the beach just a 10 minute stroll away. Have to mention the welcome pack which was excellent and much appreciated!

- Alison, July 2023
Audrey June 2023

“This cottage is a hidden gem.”

There are fantastic views from the back of the property, which we feel the owners could make more of by having some seating there. The location is really great for getting about with other attractions easily reached and nearby. It was restful and peaceful. The welcome pack was tremendous with so many treats and some for our dog too. We had a wonderful time, thank you

- Audrey, June 2023
Pamela June 2023

Valda May 2023

Elizabeth March 2023

“We all enjoyed our stay cottage was fantastic it had everything well equipped.”

Welcome pack was amazing owners was close by if needed plenty of walks and relaxing we watched deer in the fields I would recommend the cottage to all my family and friend’s looking forward to visiting again

- Elizabeth, March 2023
Rebecca February 2023

“I stayed at Island View for a week with my dog.”

The cottage was always lovely and cosy and comfortable, with a fantastic welcome pack provided. It’s in a great location, very quiet with views over the fields - and their flocks of curlew and geese - to the dunes and coquet island beyond, but also just a short walk into Amble if you feel the need. The cottage is at the end of a cul-de-sac and there is no street lighting right outside (there are some further down the street, this isn’t a negative!) so if you get some clear nights its perfect for stargazing. The property is really well equipped, with all the things you’d want in the kitchen for holiday cooking. The beach which runs for miles down druridge bay is stunning, and just a short walk over the fields to get there. Unbelievably for February, the weather was so lovely on two mornings I was able to sit outside in the garden and catch the sun - bliss!

- Rebecca, February 2023
Leslie December 2022

“Provided all we needed and would happily return in the future.”

Rob November 2022

“Second visit THIS YEAR !”

, Strange to have a holiday in November but we love this cottage and love its position , massive thank you to the owners who kept the cottage warm and cosy. Great to have a sea vies and walks from the cottage to the beach are lovely. So much wildlife. we even had three deer come to investigate. I really shouldn't give this cottage a good review as it may get booked up when we want it :-) . We are seasoned 'cottage users' and have to say this is one of the best for our needs. Thank You Emmaline and Simon ---We'll be back !

- Rob, November 2022
Ian November 2022

“Island View cottage is a lovely place to stay.”

The cottage itself is well provisioned with all you need for a comfortable holiday. The welcome pack was outstanding and comprehensive with even something for our dog Tess. The furnishings were comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, our six week old granddaughter was very taken by the patterns on the curtains! The cottage is conveniently located for the beach which is great when you don't want to be driving too far with an infant. Outside to the rear of the property we watched several deer munching at the grass and hundreds of geese flying in and out. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a a quiet, comfortable place to stay.

“Perfect accommodation in a beautiful part of the country.”

The welcome pack was very generous and made us feel truly welcome, along with little touches like shampoos, soaps, hand cream. Highly recommend for a peaceful holiday near many interesting places.

- Paula, June 2022
Mandy May 2022

“The cottage was lovely, everything you could want for a relaxed week away.”

The welcome pack although unexpected was a real treat. Only a few minutes walk to the beach where you can walk for miles without seeing anyone other than fellow dog walkers. I would definately recomend this property to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay in the countryside. The view from the rear of the cottage is fantastic an unspoilt look at the sea with Coquet Island as a backdrop. Would most certainly stay again.

- Mandy, May 2022
Pamela May 2022

“Well supplied cottage.”

. Lovely welcome package of food! Dog friendly cottage as well. Great walks close by and lots to do.in the area. Most of the cottage was easy to move round using sticks but the living room was a bit crowded with fueniture. Lovely visit.

- Pamela, May 2022

Anna April 2022

“Great stay thanks for having us!”

Fantastic "goodie hamper" when we arrived which was such a lovely welcome gift. Place was clean and comfortable. Views were great and the walk down to the beach was short. Only space for one car which was fine. Would highly recommend!

- Anna, April 2022
John April 2022

“The property was very comfortable, clean and felt more like a home than a holiday let.”

The owners had clearly put a lot of thought into ensuring that guests (& their dogs) would have an enjoyable stay. A first rate holiday property - one of the best we have stayed in. Many thanks to the owners.

- John, April 2022
Sandie March 2022

“The cottage was really well supplied , the provision of extras eg: dab radio, coffee machine were thoughtful extras that made the cottage 'home from home'.”

The information pack was excellent providing all info for every electrical item in the kitchen and was very useful. It was clean and tidy and a lovely welcoming pack on arrival Lovely views and some fantastic walks and beautiful scenery - well worth the journey up from Shropshire, Sandie & Rene

- Sandie, March 2022
Rob February 2022

“What an excellent find, even though through circumstance we only managed three nights.”

Lovely cottage with absolutely everything you could need. Easy walk to the beach and fabulous to have sea views. Loads of goodies for us to enjoy when we arrived, and a real joy, a regular home from home.

- Rob, February 2022

- Ruth, November 2021
Michelle November 2021

“This is the perfect holiday cottage for a stay on the Northumberland Coast.”

We really cant recommend it enough. Location is perfect with beautiful views and and a short walk to one of the many enormous unspoilt beaches. The cottage has everything (and I do mean everything) you could possibly need, is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We still have lots to explore so we will be back!

- Michelle, November 2021
Dawn November 2021

“We have recently had a brilliant holiday at Island View Cottage.”

The situation of the cottage is perfect as it is an easy 15 min walk to the lovely beach and the coastal path. The cottage was very clean and very well equipped. Beds very comfortable. The welcome pack left was huge with a large selection of treats as well as some essentials. The sitting room and one of the bedrooms has a view over the fields toward the sea and Coquet Island. We had every home comfort while staying here. The only thing to note is that the boiler for the heating is quite noisy, but the owner did show us how to switch it off overnight if we chose to. Other than that this cottage is perfect for a restful holiday and in a good location to visit lots of local attractions and the gorgeous beaches Northumbria is known for.

- Dawn, November 2021

- David, October 2021
Sheila October 2021

“This is an extremely well-equipped, comfortable cottage with lovely views over the sea/Coquet Island/countryside, situated in a quiet cul de sac.”

You can walk to the beach/dunes in about 10 mins, down the lane. Amble is about 5 mins by car - or an easy cycle ride also possible on the flat, quiet coastal road. Hauxley Nature Reserve, with several hides, is 5 minutes by car "down the road". The largest ever "Welcome Pack" was indeed very welcome, thank you! Pleased to say that the minor issue we had with the central heating was resolved immediately by the very attentive owner, who had not been aware of the problem till then.

- Sheila, October 2021
Anthony October 2021

“The Bungalow was clean, with nice views from the back windows.”

Parking - this was tight, so be prepared. The main double bed room - it could really do with a larger bed. The bathroom - the shower in the bath was weak in pressure, and difficult to set, and the sink drain was almost blocked solid. The hall way toilet - the sink had the same problem as in the bathroom. The kitchen - it was well supplied with most of what was required, however the sinks hot water supply was nothing more than a slow trickle and took ages to feed hot water through, after a few days it diminished to a dribbled. However the worst problem was the noise that the boiler made, especially during the night, having been in the building trade I can tell you it was bad, so again be prepared. The surrounding area was lovely.

- Anthony, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to read that you experienced issues during your stay. The property owner would have happily assisted you if you had made him aware at the time of your stay. The issues have since been addressed. Thank you once again for your feedback. Property Owner
Kerry August 2021

“Very comfortable, quiet cottage equipped for 3 generations and dog.”

Beautiful view, perfect location with plenty to see & do locally. Exceptional kitchen (we had a successful baking day when the weather was wet!) Many finishing touches that weren’t expected but a nice surprise (welcome treats went down very well!)

- Kerry, August 2021
Dot July 2021

“Would have preferred direct access to rear garden from inside the house but it was as per the details.”

Welcome tray and extra touches inside the cottage were lovely but owners in next door property did not reflect this welcome when our paths crossed.

- Dot, July 2021
Constance July 2021

“Enjoyed holiday mainly due to location near beeches.”

Cottage too modern for our taste located very close to residential properties in a corner surrounded by houses. Felt there was not enough privacy. Most residents friendly. Parking on occasions was difficult due to location of property. Clean and well maintained. Must stress nothing wrong with property except not too our taste.

- Constance, July 2021
Elaine July 2021

“Island View Cottage is located on a quiet road with beautiful views to Cocquet Island.”

The cottage is very comfortable and very well equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed a lovely relaxing holiday here and highly recommend this property.

“Island View Cottage is a beautiful cottage with everything you could want or need and more.”

The welcome tray on arrival was a beautiful touch with a great selection to please everyone. Having the lovely owners next door was also great as if you needed anything they were very happy to help. We would most definitely recommend this Cottage and we hope to return in the future.

- Tina, May 2021
Audrey May 2021

“Lovely bungalow.”

Everything provided and more. Nice welcome pack. More than enough towels ,even had beach towels if needed. Beds very comfortable and house was very clean.location was a great base. Parking was fine but only for one car. Shower was electric but had no pressure .bit like standing under a watering can. We had baths instead and there was lots of hot water. Only other negative would be the noise of the boiler. Every night it woke me up. Think its storage heaters at the house so it went on all night every night.

- Audrey, May 2021
Susan May 2021

“Cottage perfect location for a wide area.”

Beaches clean and dog friendly. Cottage really well supplied for all our needs and a welcome tray added to our delight.

- Susan, May 2021
Trevor April 2021

“Really the impressing thing was the accommodation and area rather than the booking process though that was straightforward.”

If anything, the bungalow is undersold. The place was immaculate, the welcome pack enjoyable and substantial, the area fabulous and the owners welcoming and helpful.
