  Love this property.

  We stayed last year and loved it so much we decided to come back. The house has everything you could want. It's lovely and relaxing and we love the village. The village has a local shop as well as a bakery and pub . Beautiful walks and of course the Castle with all its history. Norham is close to lots of Northumberland and plenty of places to visit. Both Alnwick and Bamburgh Castle are a short drive away. As is Holy Island and Berwick-Upon-Tweed. Also plenty of Scottish towns and places of interest nearby. It was nice after a very busy day to come back to the cottage and read and relax . Loved that the cottage is right opposite the local church which if you walk through will take you right down to the river. One last thing to note was my husband accidentally shut the front door with our housekey inside. We rang Sykes up who contacted the owner. The problem was sorted so quickly and it was nice and reassuring to know .

  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

  Brilliant just brilliant.

  The house was just as described on the website. spotlessly clean in all aspects, in fact it was almost brand new. The kitchen, lounge, bathroom and both bedrooms exuded quality. We had a wonderful week there. i am a photographer and came to Norham to reshoot a photograph I did last year, for me that was a twelve hundred mile round trip. every mile was worth it, never mind the photo, Norham and the house made it worthwhile. The location of the village was a perfect starting point to explore the borders ( Kelso what a gem of a place ). The pub ( Masons Arms) was friendly and welcoming, full of locals willing to have a conversation. I like pubs so I kept going back. Both my wife and I agree the 46 Castle Street and Norham is just a wonderful place to visit and intend to rebook, you never know I might just get that photo right.

  46 Castle Street was an excellent choice for a much needed short break for relaxing and recuperating with wonderful coastal walks a short drive away, and calm riverside walks by the Tweed just minutes away from the cottage.

  We would certainly hope to book the cottage again. Recently refurbished to a very high standard, the cottage is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The back of the cottage is quite a sun-trap, so the reclining chairs were a bonus. The welcome pack of local produce was a pleasant surprise - especially the Chain Bridge Farm honey, thank you. The village butchers/deli is excellent, and the small general shop had good fresh produce when we were there. Whilst a dog is allowed in the cottage - and the friendly neighbours certainly enjoyed getting to know our dog - the owner requests that dogs aren't allowed upstairs/into the bedrooms; we took our dog and were glad that we'd taken her crate/cage to ensure she slept downstairs.

  A lovely property to stay in, beautifully decorated, very clean, and very comfortable.

  Everything was like new, it had a well stocked woodburner, and everything you could possibly need for a lovely stay. An excellent location for exploring Northumberland and the Borders. The village itself is friendly and has a lovely feel to it. The Masons Arms is a cozy Pub, great beers, great food, and the Friday Curry Night was fantastic. The shop is a few yards away and is a good old fashioned grocers seeling really nice produce and I recommend a visit to the Butchers, we took away a coolbag full of their wares. Our only observation in the cottage was the towell rail in the bathroom wasnt working making it hard to get towells dry, but everything else was great, we really enjoyed our stay, thank you.
