“I can always trust Sykes Cottages when I book. They make the booking process so easy and I can trust the grading of the property I choose. Overall a great company to deal with.”
“Cottage very comfortable and decorated to a high standard.We weren't keen on the road noise early morning/late evening but unavoidable given proximity to a busy through road.Courtyard not ideal for our dog,but this was clear from photos of property prior to booking.
The fridge and freezer would both frosted up to the point where they were unusable when we arrived.Once defrosted they were ok but could have done without this inconvenience.Cleaners not doing a thorough job and should be taken to task over this.”
“for 5 yrs now been using sykes, for our autumn holiday for a cottage always had a a nice place ot stay and everything mostly caterd for in them places,will always use this stie for that reason of quality places at affordable prices to stay at.”
“I enjoyed my stay at White Rose Appt. I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The walk in shower was an added bonus as I have osteoarthritis. The weather during my stay was mixed, but it was good to come back to this warm, cosy appt.”
“Sykes have a wide range of properties to suit all. Clean and well maintained in lovely locations.
Easy to use website and lovely office staff if you need to contact them.”
“Really unique place with a spectacular view and well equipped
For us coming without a car, the walk up to the entrance was a bit challenging at first but we got used to it and Gill kindly drove us to the bus on the way back.
Just would say the rooms need airing at that time of year because of the damp from wet weather but the furniture and fittings were well maintained.”
“The garden cottage is a very cosy and well equipped cottage. It is well situated for many attractions in Northumberland. Would recommend this cottage.”
“Another restful stay at Flagstone Cottage and surrounding area. Great Sunday lunch at the Plough at Ford. Nice to meet Johnny and family. Hope to see you again.

“Such an idyllic positioned cabin on the edge of woodland. Perfect for walkers who like a spot of red squirrel spotting. The walk to Newborough beach is absolutely stunning. The cabin is well equipped and surprisingly well-insulated for this type of accommodation. The only thing it didn’t have, which didn’t cause us any difficulties, was a washing machine. Definitely to be recommended. We even had a couple of sunny days where we could use the decking. Not bad for late October!”
“Am ongoing claim of a recent holiday we had to come early back from due to damp and uncleaniness. Once the owners offered their "final" offer (which is an insulting amount) they said that they can no longer help us.”
“Great views from apartment, lots of stairs to get in, but once in very nice, spacious living dinning kitchen area, tv a bit small, no insturctions for the washer/dryer,but everything else spot on. The main bedroom a bit dark, noise from people using the metal fire escape stairs and reversing delivery vehicles, The bed very soft but very comfy. The 2nd bedroom to the back of the apartment is small but has a comfy bed, although when stripping the linen off there were old stains on the pillow and mattress protectors, the shower never seemed to work very well,couldn't get constant warm water, and I did notice the pressure on the tap was hit n miss, There was a lot of noise from the property above during unsocial hours, which did ruin our stay, You could hear people coming and going using the internal stairs of the building. Everything you would need was there in the main living area, could do with a long mirror in the 2nd bedroom and extra draw space in place of the storage box would be good. The apartment was warm enough with the heating on a fare bit, although we could feel the cold coming through the beatiful big bay window which was a shame. We can reccomend the chinese not far from the apartment, we left the leaflet for others. We don't reccomend The Cats Pjama's cafe next to the victorian lift, the service was very slow and not pleasent, and the sliced cake was dry, but no apology was given when it mentioned,the girl said it was a few days old that's why. give it a miss. We would Defo reccomend this beatiful modern apartment to anyone who doesn't mind the stairs or distance to the ameneties, and are not light sleepers like me.”
