"The only point we make is the shower, it's had held and there is no curtain."
We except it is difficult with the low ceiling, but we something better could be done. At least a curtain, should be put in place, as you end up mopping the floor afterwards.

"Dove Cottage was very comfortable and we very much enjoyed staying there."
It was perfectly situated for exploring the area.
-
"Lovely cottage tucked away on a working farm."
The family were very friendly and helpful. The cottage has everything needed for 2 people and is well maintained and spotlessly clean. There is no washer/ dryer which is advertised, this wasn’t an issue for us though. Great base to visit beautiful surroundings.

"A great cottage set in a working farm and isolated."
It was spotlessly clean and we soon felt comfortable and at home. The bathroom shower is mounted quite low but didn't cause us any real problems. The bedroom with ensuite are downstairs and the kitchen/ sitting area are upstairs with lovely views across the fields and hills. We hope to be back one day!

"A beautiful well cared for cottage in a superb location"

"We really enjoyed our stay and the holiday we had."
It was well located for our visit to Hadrians Wall and especially the Vindolanda Roman Fort & Viccus. We ' d had to cancel a visit to the site as last year it coincided with the death of Queen Elizabeth I of Scotland. Lots of visitor sites were thrown out of kilter. A year later we were able to fulfil our ambition to see it. The cottage is not only convenient but set in tranquil and remote setting well away from the World. It's a very appealing location yet we were easily able to drive out to Vindolanda , Bamburgh Castle and Lindisfarne too. Since it was just us two the property was perfectly suitable for our needs. We enjoyed the upside down layout ( the en suite bedroom is on GF whilst the living room with open plan kitchen was on first ). The finishes were all to a good standard and the construction was just wonderfully reassuringly solid. We found our way round the cooking facilities and got familiar with the open fire ( which I particularly enjoyed ). Everything was absolutely fine and having stayed in lots of cottages and quite a few Sykes cottages ( I think this was about 14th of Sykes never mind others rented independently ) would highly recommend. The only negative was the bathroom. Don't get me wrong it was totally functional but the hand held shower and just general lack of a proper shower is a drawback. Sure there's a perfectly good bath and the other bathroom suite items are fine but in my opinion you really need an actual wet room. The hand held shower is just too basic and unnecessarily messy. Water ends up going everywhere despite your best efforts. It also made the floor get wet and those ceramic tiles became very very slippy. Sorry about that but I suspect others have thought it ( but sometimes don't want to express it. )

Warm and well resourced for all our needs. The surrounding area is just beautiful and we loved that you could cycle or walk straight from the door.

"Lovely cottage, fantastic location."
Everything inside the cottage you would want. It IS a working farm, so some mud, farm machinery around, but not an issue. Lovely to see the birds, animals and the Northumberland scenery . We really enjoyed our holiday.

"Dove Cottage is very comfortable and well equipped."
It is situated in the quiet and peaceful town of Allendale. We were greeted by fresh farm eggs, milk and lemon drizzle cake. There is plenty of information available in the cottage about nearby forts, museums, towns and also local walks. You come away with the feeling of space and peace and quiet and it's almost an assault on your senses as you return to the more built up areas of your home town. We will certainly return there soon.

"Dove Cottage is lovely and in an idyllic setting with views for miles of rolling fields and hills."
It is very well equipped, a perfect cottage for a couple, (our dog enjoyed it too! ) The owners were very welcoming and friendly. Is a working farm and seeing the care of the animals, and the hard work cutting and making bales of hay was an added attraction. Highly recommended

"A lovely last minute break."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Dove cottage."
Beautiful location in the north pennines. Dove cottage provides all the necessities for a comfortable stay and the views are terrific. Our host, Molly and her family made us very welcome.

"Perfect for our stay."
Really clean, comfortable and lots of kitchen essentials so if you want to cook you can! a lovely modern cottage in unspoiled countryside. We have two German Shepherds so the surrounding walks suited them too - Hadrian’s Wall and other places of interest to visit are close by and dogs on leads are welcome which meant we could all enjoy our days out together. A couple of days were chilly so we lit the log burner at night and it was really cosy and peaceful. We loved it and will be returning soon.
