What our customers say about their holidays

  We arrived after a long journey up from the South and there was no milk at all.

  Even a couple of hotel milk jiggers would have been welcomed. The ‘welcome’ hamper had 4 sachets of jam and a packet of biscuits which was barely better than nothing. There were no curtains in the bedroom other than a cheap blind which meant, as it is high summer, that we were woken up very early by the daylight. I would have expected there to be curtains to give us the option to cut out the light if we wanted to. The bed was very very soft which caused us broken sleep. There were some old flowers left in a vase on the table which were well over 10 days old and pretty disgusting by the time we got there. Apart from these issues, the flat was comfortable and cosy. The road noise outside was not too disruptive and the views were good. It was possible to heat the cottage which was needed in an unseasonably cold July. We didn’t use the dishwasher because there were no tablets left out for us. I discovered at the end of the holiday, having stripped the beds and left them outside the apartment that there is a box of supplies available which had more jam sachets and dishwasher tablets - I only found these as we were leaving. I would chose Sykes again as this was a quality cottage but I would have expected the points I have raised above to be included in a property costing over £150 per night.

  A super apartment in a great location for exploring Northumberland, the scottish borders as well as Newcastle and Durham.

  Our weather wasn't great but the apartment was so well appointed that it was a pleasure to be in and we always found places to visit and things to enjoy. We would highly recommend this property. Even having visited Northumberland before, it was exciting to see the changes since we last visited and there are certainly plenty of lovely cafes to stop for tea and cake ! Amble has also developed its restaurant selection and there was a cross section from take aways through to nice pubs, ice cream parlours at the harbour and some super new restaurants like Jaspers, The Old Boathouse on the quay and its sister The Fish Shack right on the harbour as well as Sea and Soil in the high street. We even saw dolphins swimming as we stood on the pier in Berwick upon Tweed. A really interesting town for a wander. Lovely cafe in the YHA and the same street has some interesting independent shops. As we journeyed into Scotland, we called at St Abbs. Stunning scenery and an amazing art gallery called Number 4 gallery. A fantastic find and a real cross section of objects, paintings, jewellery and other surprises.

  The property is well equipped and in a good location.

  A real home from home. The owner was very friendly and a thoughtful welcome pack provided. Our only comments would be that the front and side bedrooms require blackout blinds as the street lights outside shine all night and kept my son awake. We personally found all the bed mattresses very uncomfortable so didn’t have a good night sleep all week. We ended up using all the beds. We ate in most night so a dishwasher would be good, there is space in the kitchen and for a family it’s a positive to provide one now days. My final comment which the owner cannot do anything about and that would stop us staying in Rothbury again generally is the Church clock climes on the hour all night and this also contributed to our lack of sleep. The property is very close to the church. With the window open it is even louder so had to close the windows at night. Thank you.

  Fantastic holiday!

  ! Beautiful newly renovated, pristine apartment situated in the heart of Amble. Excellent facilities all within a few minutes walking distance, we hardly had to use our car unless we left the town to go exploring castles. Janet is the most welcoming host we've come across, with a welcome hamper waiting for us on arrival, we settled in straight away. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, we visited the itialian and Indian eateries that were recommended in the welcome pack and they didn't disappoint. Both of us and our border collie loved it here. He especially loved the short walk to the beach which is doggy friendly. Will definitely be coming back here in the not too distant future. Thanks again Janet.

  Beautiful and comfortable apartment with great views from living room window.

  Kitchen very modern and was well stocked with utensils. Beds were very comfortable. The high street and harbour were just a few minutes walk. I was unable to log onto Wi-fi as password didn’t work I felt the cleanliness of bathroom could have been improved e.g taps had grime and silicone around bath needs replacing. There was no cream bucket provided for recycling or poo bags for the dog. This was listed as being provided in information book which was very informative We had to put our hands through the letter box when closing front door when we left the apartment so maybe a handle on outside of door would solve this issue. All cons listed did not spoil our stay as we really enjoyed our stay
