“Lovely cottage - well placed for Morpeth.”

Will definitely return. Forgot to leave a note for cleaner just to say that the back gate handle etc was broken when we arrived and we left part of the lock on the table outside.

Thank you for your feedback and letting us know about the gate. We'll get that sorted as soon as possible. Property Owner
Joanne September 2024

“This absolutely stunning and beautifully appointed cosy cottage is very well equipped and spotlessly clean, there is nothing that the owners haven't thought of to make your stay perfect, even the location is spot on, being just a couple of minutes walk to Morpeth park, the train station and the town centre.”

Morpeth itself has plenty of restaurants and shops and is a great base for exploring the many castles, attractions and fantastic beaches of Northumberland (allow a full day for visiting Alnwick castle and gardens) Edinburgh is also just 1.5 hours on the train and well worth a visit. Highly recommend this cottage and would definitely return!

- Joanne, September 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and for taking the time to suggest days out for Guests. We agree, the train is fantastic for trips to Newcastle, Durham and so easy to get up to Scotland! We hope you'll come back again to discover some more castles! Property Owner

“A great cottage in a brilliant location.”

A lot of hard work has been done to restore and keep original features within the property. Lots of modern touches to help with ease and comfort included within. Would recommend a stay at any time

Trevor April 2024

“Owl cottage .”

.... WOW !!!! The pictures on the website DO NOT do Owl Cottage proper justice, at all. It is actually much bigger than we expected and is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Everything about the cottage is outstanding and every single detail is finished to the highest standard. We could not have wished for a better base, for our short break. Morpeth and the surrounding is just a treasure trove of interesting things to see and do.

- Trevor, April 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback. It's always lovely to hear how much our guests have enjoyed their stay in Owl Cottage. We agree, Morpeth is a gem of a place with so much in and around it to discover! We hope you will come back and explore more in future. Property Owner
Robbie April 2024

“Our family loved Owl Cottage.”

The location was perfect for us, close to shops, swimming pool, play park and lots of great walks along the river. Not only was the location great, Owl Cottage is a lovely comfortable place to stay. So cosy with the fire on and a really well equipped kitchen. We will definitely be back :-)

- Robbie, April 2024

Thank you for your great comments. Good to hear that you enjoyed some of the excellent facilities in Morpeth. We hope that you will visit again in future. Property Owner

“A beautiful cottage.”

Spotlessly clean in a lovely town. Everything was perfect. There is even a free car park across the road.

- Jean, March 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We hope you will come back and stay longer next time to carry on exploring the Morpeth area. Property Owner
Julie February 2024

“Owl cottage is exceptionally well provisioned.”

A luxury stay in Morpeth with lots of high end extras - Smart TV, Alexas, Hue lighting and super comfy beds. Excellent location for Morpeth High St. We have a moderately wide SUV, and parking was fine right outside the gate. Heating was on for our arrival and alongside the welcome pack, we felt very happy on arrival. Lovely character property with plenty of information left by the owners who were in contact via text. Would nook again without hesitation.

- Julie, February 2024

Thank you for such lovely feedback about your stay. It's always great to hear our Guests have enjoyed their time at Owl Cottage and found that the facilities of the cottage and the area all made for a wonderful holiday. We hope you will visit again in future. Property Owner
Stephen December 2023

“When we arrived at the cottage, the owners had not only decorated with a Chrismas tree and garlands, but had also left presents under the tree, which was a lovely gesture.”

The cottage was immaculately presented, a lot of special touches in terms of how well stocked, cooking utensils, bread and milk, coffee and tea etc. Not expected but VERY much appreciated. great location, fantastic cottage, we will be back. Thank you!

- Stephen, December 2023

Thank you for such lovely comments. We're really pleased you felt so at home and had a special Christmas in Owl Cottage. We hope you'll stay again in future. Property Owner
Rebecca November 2023

“What a fantastic stay!”

We had some essentials waiting for us on arrival, the cot and high chair was there as requested, the cottage is absolutely beautiful and to top it off we had a Christmas tree! We enjoyed a wonderful Christmassy weekend here and even had snow! We travelled with two little ones and the cottage was very well equipped for us with the bonus of smart tvs for when they want to chill out. The parking was not an issue at all - we just parked on a street round the corner from the property that you can see from the upstairs bedroom window. The communication from the owner was spot on and they provided lots of helpful info via text and also in the welcome pack with regards to eating out, things to go etc. The location is fab - you just walk over the bridge and you are right in Morpeth. We had trips out to Tynemouth, Newcastle and Alnwick which are all 30mins or less. You can tell that a lot of thought and love has gone into this property and we felt thoroughly looked after. We would love to return!

- Rebecca, November 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I agree that Morpeth at Christmas is absolutely lovely, and festive snow adds to the feel. The shops and businesses make so much effort- Rutherford's Windows are a must see! Morpeth is a great base for exploring places like those you mentioned all within easy reach with attractions for all the family. Our family love Owl Cottage so it's wonderful to hear how much your family loved it too. Thank you. We hope to welcome you back next year! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Property Owner

“Wonderful stay at Owl Cottage with two kids over October break.”

Definitely one of the nicest houses we've stayed in. And a fantastic location for exploring Morpeth.

- Maeve, October 2023

Jean August 2023

“Everything about Owl cottage was excellent.”

Parking was easy. Good location for shops and eateries. Decorated to a very high standard loved all the paintings and furnishings. Well stocked kitchen. Great front and back outside sitting area and access. One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and will hopefully return soon. Appreciated texts from the owner on arrival and departure. Thank you to Sykes cottages for good service and clear relevant emails.

- Jean, August 2023

Thanks so much for your lovely review of Owl Cottage. Good to hear you liked the paintings, they are all prints from work by local artists and galleries as we wanted to support them when deciding on the decor. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Alison August 2023

“A fabulous, well equipped cottage that is perfectly located for walking into Morpeth town centre, the train station and for exploring the surrounding areas.”

The owners have put a lot of thought into the cottage and we had a fabulous stay.

- Alison, August 2023

Thank you so much. It's great to hear how much you liked Owl Cottage and exploring Northumberland. There is so much within walking distance, glad you were able to enjoy getting out and about. We hope you'll come back and carry on discovering the fabulous area. Property Owner

Angela August 2023

“Travelled early August 2023 with my partner and three grown up children.”

Owl Cottage is beautiful and Morpeth is a lovely small thriving town and a great base for seeing more of the gorgeous North East countryside and coastline. The cottage is central and within walking distance to Morpeth town centre. The owners have thought of everything, a real home from home that we will definitely be recommending to friends and family and hopefully coming back to for another stay as a week was just not long enough to appreciate it.

- Angela, August 2023

Thank you so much. We hope to welcome you back to Owl Cottage again soon to carry on discovering the gems around Morpeth and Northumberland. :) Property Owner
Pauline July 2023

“The property is lovely.”

Beautifully decorated with thought and care. It is really close to shops, bars and restaurants. There were really nice touches with such as shampoo, hand cream and body lotion and basic provisions such as milk, butter, bread etc.provided. We had a problem with the wi fi and the owner was very helpful. I would just say that if you have a bigger vehicle then park it on the wider road nearby. The houses were not built with cars in mind. Would highly recommend.

- Pauline, July 2023

Thank you for your comments. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay in the cottage and liked exploring the many things Morpeth has to offer guests. Glad you got the wifi code deciphered too. :) Property Owner

- Steve, May 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. It's lovely to hear you were so happy with everything. Hopefully you can visit again in future and carry on exploring the fantastic area. Property Owner

Ronald April 2023

“Good cottage but bad for parking”

- Ronald, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we're very pleased you loved Owl Cottage and hope you enjoyed your stay in the wonderful Morpeth area. Sorry to hear that you found parking difficult. Sadly the cottage doesn't have off-street parking, but we've always found space just outside, there is some information in the Guest book about parking if anyone else does find it difficult for any reason. Small cars can park right outside the back door gate on Bennett's Walk in our space there. Larger cars may prefer unloading there and then parking on the Alexandra Road at the back of Owl Cottage where the road is a little wider. For any guests needing electric charging there is a large, new, free car park within 100 metres/a minute's walk from of the cottage offering several EV points. Thank you again for your booking and we hope that you have many happy memories of your holiday here. Property Owner
Kerry April 2023

“My daughter and I had such a lovely stay and absolutely fell in love with Owl Cottage!”

The cottage is presented to the highest standard with beautiful decor and high quality accessories and essentials. The location is also great. We were able to walk into Morpeth and enjoyed two excellent meals at local restaurants. We were also able to head to Alnwick Castle and Bamburgh Castle which were not too far away. As a base for exploring Northumberland, it is very good. Thank you for ensuring our stay was a wonderful one!

- Kerry, April 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are so pleased you loved Owl Cottage and had a wonderful time exploring. We hope you'll come back and carry on discovering the beautiful area. Property Owner

“Amazing place to stay in the best town in the UK”

- Mike, February 2023

Thank you! So pleased you felt at home in Owl Cottage and we agree, Morpeth is a brilliant place. We love the Owl drawing, please say thank you to the mini-artist! :) Property Owner
Janet February 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay in Owl Cottage.”

It is a lovely, really well equipped cottage with some quirky features (a mystery front door to 3A at top of the stairs!). Less than 10 minute walk to Morpeth town centre and the Office micro pub a good find. As an old building it does have several bend or bump doorways!

- Janet, February 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased you had a good weekend at Owl Cottage and enjoyed some of the many local amenities. Yes there are a few old building character quirks, the cottage dates from the late 1700's and I believe people and doorways were much shorter then. :) Property Owner
Martin January 2023

This is a cosy cottage in a prime position for exploring and everything you could possibly need is provided to help settling in
