What our customers say about their holidays
Wendy - Verified booking
Cliff House was very nice & welcoming.
The kitchen was very well equipped, however rather than a Dishwasher we felt a Washing Machine & washing line in the garden are a must & this addition should maybe looked into as this would make it perfect. Generally the house was very clean, however more attention to detail needs to be made to bedding as in bunk beds there were small black hairs on the inside sheets, and the person staying in that room actually refused to sleep inside the bed, we tried calling the point of contact number during our stay several times to report this but each time no answer. Hot Tub was very nice & relaxing. The only thing that spoilt our holiday is a couple of days before leaving we noticed the back garden was soaking wet & there was raw sewerage coming up from the manhole cover, this was obv a big health & safety concern and especially worrying as our young dog had been out there when we discovered the problem & we then worried we might have a poorly dog who needed Veterinary attention. Again we tried several times to contact the phone no. on point of contact & also the owners mobile no. to report this ASAP. All to no avail so had to contact Sykes Holiday Cottages who I have to say did get hold of the owner who then gave permission for them to contact Drain company who came out to attend later that day, obv this interfered with our days plans as although we left back gate unlocked for access the Drain company called me direct for some reason as seemed to be under the impression I was the owner of the property. He did tell us that he had attended the property a couple of times before for the same problem & that the owner had previously tried to unblock the Drain himself as they found pieces of rope in the Drain system, so obv there is a problem which needs sorting properly ASAP. The same Drain company woke me up early with a phone call to my mobile 4 days after our return home ( today ) telling me they had found a big blockage at MY property, once again I relayed that it is a Holiday Let House & I am not the owner!! Whilst we appreciate that problems can occur it was clearly evident by what the Drain guy told us that this is an ongoing problem and the House should not be let out to ppl until this is fully resolved.

It was disappointing to arrive at 5pm (which is a very late check-in time) to find the house hadn't been cleaned.
We then tried calling the numbers on our booking form - one of which was out of order and the other was to a lady who no longer serviced the house. We had to search for another number to contact somebody and then arrange for a cleaner to come urgently. This meant we could not unpack or go shopping, as had been planned. We were told to go out for a meal and charge this to Northumberland Coast and Country Cottages, which was helpful. However, we then had to use the Sunday morning to go shopping and felt we had lost a night and morning of our holiday time. The cleaners did a good job of making the beds and bathrooms clean and tidy, but the general cleanliness of the house was below standard. There was dust under beds, on the stairs, old socks and cloths behind bedside cabinets and furniture. The dishwasher needed a deep clean as the dishes smelled terrible so we had to handwash all of the dishes (which for 10 people was a lot of work). There were baby cots/highchairs/potties all over the house, with nowhere to store them out of the way. The wardrobes in the master bedroom were filled with boxes and bags so there was very little room to hang clothes, and most of the wardrobes in the bedrooms didn't have hangers so clothes had to folded and put wherever there was space. The outside area was full of cobwebs and the artificial grass had debris all over it - which considering this is the first impression of the house was really disappointing. We ended up sweeping and cleaning and hoovering so that the house was clean for our guests who we had invited to share the time with us. I am still waiting for the reimbursement of our meal and the housekeeping bond, so will need to take time today to contact the company again, as I would have thought this would have been dealt with by now. Overall, I have paid nearly £3,500 for a week that did not meet my expectations at all. A very disappointed customer.

A really enjoyable 4 night stay.
.. The owner couldn't have been more helpful, both in the run up to our arrival and while we were there (we couldn't figure the heating out!). All very easily resolved - fast and smooth. Cliff House is extremely well-equipped, and very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and the welcome hamper was a really lovely touch. The beds are comfortable - not too soft, not too hard - and the bed linen soft and fluffy. The central heating is great and gets the house really warm - always a worry in a holiday cottage at this time of year - and we lit the stove every evening. The teens loved the hot tub. The cottage is about 4 houses away from a local shop that sells everything you'd need in a pinch - though at a price premium - while there's a massive Asda, Aldi (and McDonalds!) a 5 minute drive away in Skelton. Loftus itself is... pretty, but not touristy. Which was fine with us. We visited Whitby, Staithes, Saltburn and Skinningrove Beach - which is a must, you can walk from the cottage (15 minutes) but we drove on our way back from Staithes. It's a truly lovely beach. I would highly recommend this cottage and would love to return to visit all of the above places again, on a warm dry day. The weather wasn't kind to us but we had a great break anyway. Tiny improvements - a second bin in the kitchen for recycling, and hooks in the bedrooms for dressing gowns, which we wouldn't usually take on a short break, but hot tub! But honestly, the place has everything you need.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay.
The information pack we received prior to arriving was brilliant. The cottage itself was gorgeous, had everything you needed and more, plus some surprise goodies on arrival. The owners have thought of everything and the little details and extras made the stay so pleasurable. There is only 1 tiny thing I would suggest: bigger towels. I couldnât wrap the towel around me, and with a father-in-law in the house it was a bit restrictive and felt I had to dress and undress in the bathroom. However the towels you did have were so soft a fluffy, they felt so luxurious. All 3 bedrooms are spacious and have very comfy beds. The living space downstairs was cosy and comfortable and the garden was lovely. The kitchen was so well equipped and had everything and even more than I have at home! There is a little park just at the end of the road which was a highlight for our daughter as we could easily pop to it in the morning and evening. Overall it was a wonderful stay in a fabulous cottage, the owners have thought of everything and should be really proud. We would highly recommend Falcus cottage.

Falcus cottage was clean and cosy with everything you could possibly want and need (it even had a teapot!
). Our party ages ranged from 0 -70 + dog and all were well catered for. Central heating was very efficient, though it was warm weather for October, and the cottage kept the heat in well. I am told, all the beds were comfortable with very good pillows. The property is very well situated for exploring the area, we had great days out at Raby Castle, Low and high force waterfalls, Barnard itself, and good walks from Middleton and Staindrop. I would recommend taking an Ordinance survey map of the area if you are intending to walk as there are so many paths to choose from. Also, for autumn and winter evenings perhaps take some board games and books with you. There are plenty of cafes and eating establishments in the area and can recommend the cafe at the theatre in 'Barney' and the Old Well Inn for Sunday lunch. All in all a good time was had by everyone and who knows, we may yet be back. Thank you.
