  The grocery welcome pack was a nice and ‘welcome’ surprise.

  Hot tub well heated and accessible. Property was clean and tidy inside. However the property in need of some TLC (we had a constant dripping tap in kitchen-not able to be repaired during our stay, despite reporting on arrival, however owner did explain reason for this). Outside of the property needs a bit of a spruce up (lots of cobwebs and general wear & tear, gutter constantly dripping over bifold doors & not able to open bifold doors as they were extremely stiff- we are use to opening them as have them at home!). Lots of dead insects/daddy long legs between shutters/windows in bedroom. Outdoor furniture cushions wet and not able to be used as cover used but not secured & no ability to store cushions inside. Extremely hot and provision of a fan/fans would have been extremely welcome in the heat as the lodge is like a greenhouse with lots of glass. Not able to access outside bins (shed locked with 2 padlocks and no keys provided). Not able to operate TVs in any bedroom & no instructions provided in information pack. Visitor information pack out of date… I.e. states property let by ‘crabtree&crabtree’ not ‘Sykes cottages’, recommends a restaurant in Bamburgh (Mizen Head Hotel) that has been shut down for well over 18 months! Hot tub operational info doesn’t relate to the hot tub in situ.

  We stayed at Sandstrath in August 2020, we enjoyed it so much that we booked it again for May bank holiday weekend 2021. The property is light and airy with everything you need. If you’re a little unsteady on your feet then stairs might be a problem. A nice welcoming touch is the bag of local produce, coffee, tea, biscuits and bread along with some milk. Views out the back over the small but very adequate garden and it’s fields with sheep. A great time waster watching what they’re up to. If you have a dog and like walking it’s just a case of out the door, cross the road and you’re into the sand dunes and onto the beach. Go left and it’s a lovely walk up to Budle bay past the castle along the beach. Head right and go to Seahouses. The locals are lovely, welcoming and like a chat. The locals pubs in Bamburgh are only a short walk too. I’d book it again, in fact just been having a look at what dates are available.

  Beautiful property.

  Well equipped and comfortable. Thoughtful touches like welcome pack, one for dogs too. We were there for a celebratory 70th birthday BBQ with family found the BBQ to be unusable with food, grease and mold. Took over 5 hours to get a response from onsite maintenance company who just put grids in dishwasher, which still the food, mould etc on the grids. Very upsetting for all. Travelled round trying to buy new one but no avail. Did our best to clean it ourselves. Throughout the day tried to get help from Sykes, still waiting for a reply! Made a formal complaint to Sykes 2nd October, no response. Tried their Wattsap contact line today chasing the complaint, no response. I would recommend the owner stop using Sykes, they treat their customers very badly. Trust pilot reviews are manipulated. Google reviews more accurate.

  Thank you for a lovely stay! The welcome hamper was a really nice gesture and the scones were so yummy. Rooms were really comfortable and we had everything that we could need. Such a great base for exploring the coast and what a great view! I’d recommend both Lord Crew & Castle Inn for afternoon tea – dog friendly too! Great walk to Seahouses along the beach and interesting to visit Bamburgh Castle. Holy Island well worth a visit but Lindisfarne currently being renovated and has nothing in it which was a bit disappointing. Alnwick Gardens were fabulous and i can imagine the grounds would be beautiful in the summer. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to visit the castle – but we will definitely be back with Coquet Cottages soon too experience it then! We will definitely be back.

  We were an extended family of 6 ( grandparents, daughter and son in law and two grandchildren and Restharrow Lodge suited all our requirements.

  The property was beyond our expectations, it was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy. The hot tub was “the icing on the cake” and our two grandsons ( twins aged 11) absolutely loved it. We had some wonderful days out visited Alnwick Castle, a boat trip to the Farne Islands ( Billy Sheils Boat trip) and we visited Holy Island(Lindisfarne). We were so lucky with the weather it was wonderful. We also had a fantastic meal at The Potted Lobster ( we booked beforehand) and also at The Victoria Hotel(highly recommended). All in all it was the perfect holiday thanks to our excellent accommodation. Thank you Restharrow Lodge for making it so special we made lovely memories.
