Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the apartment very clean, contributing to a high cleanliness score. However, a few mentioned the need for a deep clean and attention to details like cobwebs and dust, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently praised for being central and convenient, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and historical sites. The availability of parking and good transport links further enhance its appeal.
Guests frequently mention the comfort of the property, noting the warm, home-like feel and comfortable beds. A few guests found the beds a bit soft, but this is noted as personal preference rather than a widespread issue.
The property is lauded for its well-equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge. Some guests experienced minor issues with appliances and suggested minor touch-ups, which slightly impacts the score.
While many reviews commend the owner's helpfulness and provision of local information, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

The Old Exchange is well equipped, very clean and extremely comfortable. Plenty of information on hand for amazing days out, scenic walks, or historic places to visit, so much to see and do, a week was just not long enough. The owner of the property was on hand for any issues (which are unlikely, we had none). I would highly recommend this property

The independent book shop is right across the street! The kids and I love Corbridge deeply, and this was a wonderful spot to stay in town. We used it as a base to hike Hadrian's Wall, and it was perfectly equipped for the task. (Scott and his team from Executive Taxis made the pick ups and drop offs possible.) Everything was as described and we could not have been happier. As a general whole, we have been extremely happy with every rental we have taken from Sykes. Highly recommend!

Directions to the property and local information given proved very useful. The property is in need of a few tweaks to make it a perfect stay, some small repairs and redecorating worn areas are required. At other properties we have had fresh milk and sometimes bread or something to make a snack which is great after travelling for a while and often toiletries are provided such as shower gel/shampoo. I understand the owner was away and perhaps that is why these were omitted and as the local supermarket was within a few steps it was not a problem. Overall we had a lovely week and I would recommend this property to friends and family.
