  Whilst the property was well equipped it did look like it had been furnished with odds and sods.

  The cleanliness was poor and the property was very tired with some furniture and various decorating issues. There were trailing wires in the lounge which could have caused problems. There were cables hanging down underneath the kitchen cupboards. These are really a safeguarding issue. Upon contacting Sykes the call handler made all the right noises regarding attending to same and promised to call back. When chasing the same handler said they had contacted the owner as Sykes were not responsible for maintenance of property. I disagreed as I had a contract with them not the owner and asked for their Manager to call me which never happen. I’ve did contact owner but didn’t come to inspect the property and I provided photos and a video to highlight the state of the accommodation. When highlighting the state of the back space and rotten gate the owner said the outside space wasn’t really for use but there is a washing machine and line plus an outside shed for the storage of bikes if needed. The gate could not be used so if s bike was being stored it would have had to go through the cottage.

  Stayed in Beehive barn before lockdown and it was perfect…maybe due to it being new.

  This visit I felt that attention to detail was lacking. ie… the corner sofa had human hair behind the large cusions, lots of it! Shower cubicle in small double needs attention, black mould, and toilet seat urine stained. Outdoor furniture at front covered in green mould and out back the circular picnic table couldn’t be used due to sever paint peel which made it very uncomfortable to sit on. Weather was great while we were there and would have been lovely to eat outside. Lock on front door needs attention. When locked from inside on two occasions we had difficulty opening it (it seemed to jam) which obviously in the event of a fire would be an issue. I am very familiar with keysafes due to my line of work. Again this needs attention as it was difficult to close Kitchen was amazing and very well equipped, lounge delightful too

  We had a wonderful stay.

  The cottage is very well equipped and is perfectly located just off the A1, making it very accessible to all the local attractions. With Holy Island just a couple of miles down the road and Edinburgh just 60 miles further north, it’s in a great position. The cottage has a very large garden looking out onto fields of sheep and with views out to sea, Holy Islands and in the far distance, Bamburgh castle. Kitchen is very well equipped, lounge is comfy and snug with a log burner. Beds very comfortable. If I was to be super picky, it’s would be useful to have some bath sheets. Whilst there’s plenty of towels, it’s nice to have a big towel and the lighting in the kitchen might be a bit dim for some with poorer vision. Otherwise, really can’t fault the cottage and the attentiveness of the owners.

  Beehive barn is lovely and comfortable.

  It is large and well suited to six people. We were only two so had lots of space. We visited in Feb expecting bad weather but it was sunny but windy. The cottage is exposed so the wind rattles through. We had some trouble with the heating on the first day where the thermostat didn't connect so we were very cold. It connected on the 2nd day so we could set it to come on. The location is great for the Northumberland coast which we spent walking for the week. You need supply your own wood for the fire if you want it on. Would highly recommend this cottage

  What a wonderful cottage this is!

  It already looks good in the pictures, I didn't expect it to look even better in situ. The main bedroom is so spacious, and still cosy and warm. Every room is lovely decorated, we felt at home straight away. Everything works perfectly well, the garden is beautiful, the views are gorgeous and the location is impossible to improve, near Holy Island and a step away from many beautiful attractions. Our kids loved the bunk beds and the tennis facility. We loved the cottage, we had a dream holiday. We will be coming back if we are lucky.
