“A relaxing winter break in very peaceful surroundings” We appreciated the individual & tastefully decorated interior of this cottage. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the situation was perfect for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coast.

“Best Holiday In Years!” The Granary is a cottage to fall in love with. From the moment you drive through the gates, to discovering and falling for this sumptuously appointed and spacious holiday home, to waving goodbye and wishing you didn't have to, I cannot rate it highly enough. For a couple or small family it is just superb and my fiance and I only wish we could have stayed there during the summer months to enjoy the patio etc fully. The bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms particularly are as if brand new, simply stunning and near faultless, the 2 power showers excellent, although the shower cubicle base did fill up to the limit within about ten minutes for those who like me enjoy a longer shower! But the over bath shower next door was of the same type and did not suffer this minor problem. Great tiles, mirrors, lighting, heated towel rails, etc etc. Kitchen utility area and downstairs toilet beyond it are a real bonus and all so well presented you felt pampered. Fully equipped kitchen, only gripes were tin opener wasn't working and no egg cups, I defy you to find any others! The sunsets from the large kitchen cartwheel window were beautiful and provided some lovely snaps of my car. The plentiful books/crosswords/Dvds/CDs/games were a nice touch and added to our holiday, as did Hamish, the friendly doorstop dog! Comfy beds, although we found the 2 seater sofa of only average comfort, a bit slidey and needed a throw. Enjoyed the candles and woodburner and melting pleasantly even during the cold spell, plenty of wood and coal supplied for a week. Central heating superb although smoke alarm annoyingly activated whenever grilled anything. Lots of places to visit in all directions, Alnwick, Berwick, Morpeth, Rothbury, Coast, what more do you want? The owners were very cheerful and helpful although they were in process of moving out. We were greeted by the new owners who we also found friendly. Ah, the memories. Best holiday in years!!!

“Highly recommended” Our stay in this cottage was absolutely perfect in every way. The cottage itself is beautiful and the owner was extremely welcoming and friendly. It is in a glorious location, convenient to many places of interest. We booked straight away for next year, we liked it so much!

“Comfortable” We enjoyed our week in the cottage. It was a good base from which to explore Northumberland.

“Beautiful Surprise” After travelling up from Southampton, Hampshire, we arrived at 10.15pm on a wet November evening, weariness faded upon opening the door to Englewood, as reality was better than Sykes description. The kitchen is well equipped and a dinner party would be easy as there is plenty of cutlery crockery and serving dishes. The next morning we woke to the beautiful view from both back and front bedrooms, and the garden is delightful with a bubbling stream on the other side of the garden. Misty our dog loved it, would have loved to have a swim even more, but not suitable for that as stream flows over rocks. The open fire in the lounge made evenings so warm and cosy and the furniture is very comfortable and easily seats 6. Lots of literature gave us ideas for places to visit. The bed was the best we'd ever staying in, I have chronic back problems and dread new beds, I had perfect nights sleep from day one thank you. We loved the paintings by the owner around the cottage, wanted to sneak a couple home with us! Thank you we will be back.

“fanastic accomodation and situated in a good place.” We recieved good service from the start. The house was well equiped, clean, comfortable,warm, and generally good all round. The gardens were nice and decent sized for the kids to play in. When we first arrived we felt like the house was in a unlikely posistion but it turned out to be a good central base. it was nice to be able have things in walking distance, such as the shop and the beach. There was ample space for a family and it also felt quite homly. The thing we liked best was the two living areas, the two batrooms and the comfortable beds. It probably would of been better if the garden had of been fenced in but it wasn't really a problem. We very much enjoyed our stay and we would love to go back again.

“Trendy comfort in a wonderful town” The Old Exchange offers complete comfort in the heart of Corbridge - with everything on the doorstep for a chilled out break. Butcher, baker, greengrocer ... and candlestick maker plus great clothes and art galleries, walks from the door, restaurants. And you own parking which is essential.

“Lovely homely cottage; great place to chillax.” Great base for exploring Northumbria. Cottage is really cosy, spotlessly clean and very well equipped.

“The place you must have --if it's available then book here quick” Excellent property /location and facilities . Owner next door left cake and wine to welcome us . She was friendly but did not intrude . Plenty of room for 2 cars . Haltwhistle is pleasant and located well for walking -not just the Wall . Take the train to Carlisle and go round the castle etc . Good pubs,shops and sandwich bar in Haltwhistle . Eat out at Milecastle and Greenhead? hotel.

“A friendly welcome.” A cosy and well equipped cottage where we were met by the owner who explained all that we needed to know about the property in a friendly and welcoming manner. The location just suited us as we have a young child who loves time on the beach as well as visiting historic sites.

“cottage with character in quiet and peaceful setting” We enjoyed the views from this cottage, and use of the tennis court/playing field. It made a good base for exploring the area around alnwick and the beautiful beaches.

“relaxed luxuary and lovely countryside” We enjoyed a week in a lovely house that gave us the freedom to roam with our dog.

“Relaxing break in a beautiful setting” The service from Sykes was excellent staffare very pleasant. Mr and Mrs Monroe who own the cottage live in the house next to the coach house and were on hand if we had any queries. Very nice couple who left a welcome gift of Milk in the fridge and a lovely bottle of red wine. The cottage was very comfortable and the furnishings enhanced the cottage feel. Well equipped with everything you could need. The Queen sized bed was heaven. The cottage is set in large grounds with a lovely river walk just outside the gates to the cottage. It is also a short drive to Keilder Forrest with great walks. Not far to the Coquet Valley We found a lovely Butchers in Bellingham and are coming back to him for our Christmas meat as it was so nice. Enjoyed the tennis court which was well used throughout our stay. Loved the log burning stove. Just a perfect cottage to enjoy a realaxing break. Would deffinately return.

“best holiday home ever” The service was excellent, The home was really home from home, beautiful, clean, and very quiet, and safe for our little dog. The location was lovely, and all the amenities were just about a mile away. We liked everything about our holiday. the home, location,and lovely scenery.

“Beautifully decorated and furnished.” This is a lovely place for a couple to stay. It makes a great base for a touring holiday in Northumberland. In walking distant of Hadrian's Wall. The inside is done to a very high standard and is comfortable. There's plenty of shops, cafes and pubs in the village. The only downside is that it's on a main road but that didn't detract from our enjoyment of our holiday in any way.
