Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"This was our first time staying in this cottage and we would definitely book it again."
Great location, it's got everything you need, the bed was super comfortable and the cottage was really warm.

"Thank you for a fabulous week in this lovely comfortable cottage that provides everything you could possibly need (and more!"
). If you enjoy stunning vast beaches and unspoilt countryside that is steeped in history with its many castles, then Northumberland is definitely the place to visit.

"Our second stay at Adderstone Cottage and once again, it was a great week."
Being lucky with the weather, we managed to use all areas of the cottage - we even sat outside in the sunshine one afternoon after a long walk. The conservatory is a brilliant space and was well used for eating, reading, playing games and just listening to the radio. The bedrooms are clean and comfortable. Likewise the three bathrooms. With 6 adults and 1 dog sharing the space, there was more than enough crockery and cutlery not to mention cooking utensils. It's location just off the A1 means the cottage is ideally placed for visiting all areas in Northumberland. And yet it still has a sense of remoteness as it's outlook is over neighbouring fields.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Glad you enjoyed Adderstone Cottage. Not in charge of the weather but always a bonus.

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Adderstone Cottage."
It was very clean, spacious, peaceful and we loved the conservatory. Great location for exploring. No washing up cloths/sponges provided, not the fault of the owners at all who attempted to rectify, but without success. I do think oven gloves would be the one useful addition to an otherwise well stocked kitchen.
As you said we did try. But were severely let by Sykes and housekeeping . All those things you requested including oven gloves are normally provided and should have been .
We are pursuing this for the sake of our guests.

"Great cottage, the family and the dog loved it."
It had every amenity we could think of. Peaceful and a great location
I'm a novice with woodburners BBQ's etc, so we didn't use them. I only found the instructions on lighting the wood burner on our last day. A quick guide in the fireplace might be useful. We weren't quite sure if we would have had to clean out the woodburner if we did use it. Also the instructions were to put bed linen in the bath on leaving, but we weren't sure if this meant the whole lot , duvets and pillows etc.

"We found the cottage comfortable and well equipped."
Whilst the garden may be small, we thought it was very pretty and I imagine children may like the little nooks and crannies. The sun-room would benefit from ceiling blinds as it was very hot in there and it did make the lounge and kitchen a bit dark. However, it was a nice extra. The super king bed was very comfy, so often the beds can be the weak area in properties. There were no dishwasher tablets, which was strange as rinse aid and salt. Luckier I had popped a couple in my packing, so not a problem. Overall we had a good week and my husband was delighted to have Sky movies thrown in!
Thanks for your review and glad you had a good week. We apologise for the lack of dishwasher tablets. There should have been some and will inform housekeeping to make sure they are there in the future.
We are aware that the kitchen and lounge can be dark but the conservatory is one of the most popular features of the property. It faces east so doesn’t get the full sun and opening the windows usually keeps it a pleasant temperature.

"We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful cosy cottage."
My 2 elderly parents loved the stunning sun room and only gripe would be a sliding door on the en-suite as they found it difficult to get in and out. It’s in a wonderful location for exploring all the beautiful places but if you have a dog the road outside the cottage is very busy for convenience walks!
I would highly recommend this property and we would certainly come back in a heartbeat…. we loved it❤️
We are very glad that you enjoyed your stay at Adderstone Cottage. We will look at the door to the en suite bathroom and see what can be done.

"Adderstone cottage was in the perfect location for us, giving easy access to the places we visited."
Our party was 6 adults and it was very well equipped for that number of people. The conservatory was well used for eating our meals but also just sitting and looking at the view. Bedrooms were comfortable, each with a TV so no arguments about programmes to watch. Having 3 bathrooms was also a big plus as each couple had their own. There is a lovely patio area in the garden which I can imagine is perfect in the summer. Would we return? Yes, and have already booked for next year.
Thank you for your comments . We are glad you enjoyed your stay. The patio has recently been constructed so we hope it will be enjoyed when the warmer weather arrives.

"I would definitely book through Sykes Holiday Cottages again."
My father was rushed in to hospital the day before we were due to go on our holiday, when I called Sykes Cottages, the lady I spoke to was fabulous, she had such empathy and was very helpful. We did get to go on our holiday, a day later than booked and I have to say that the cottage did not disappoint, it was lovely, the perfect place for us to rest and recuperate. The cottage was very clean and the way the rooms were presented was like walking into a 5 star hotel. Sitting in the conservatory looking out over the fields every morning and evening was the perfect way to start and end our days. We will definitely stay in this cottage again and would highly recommend it.
Thank you so much for your comments about the property.
We are so pleased the Sykes staff were both helpful and sympathetic when problems occurred just before your departure.

The property
Retaining many of its original features, Adderstone Cottage is a truly wonderful countryside getaway settled into the rural area of Adderstone, near Bamburgh, ideal for a family or group of adults looking to explore Northumberland.
Enter into a sitting room where a stone fireplace adds a sense of heritage, housing a woodburning stove where you can warm your feet in the cooler months as guests relax in a selection of furniture.
Through double doors you will discover an amply fitted kitchen, great for cooking together as a family, sporting eye-catching roof beams and tiled flooring, alongside the range cooker and oven, and you can enjoy your meal at the dining table, which can be found in an airy conservatory room with exposed stone walls and a view over open fields beyond the garden.
As the utility takes care of your muddy clothes, freshen up in the shower room before snuggling up for the night in one of the three bedrooms, including a super-king-size with a TV and tasteful furniture, a king-size with a handy en-suite and a twin perfect for children.
If you love alfresco dining then the garden has you covered, with the amazing options of a barbecue and your very own pizza oven!
Bellshill is the closest village to the cottage, offering a pub and convenience store where you can stock up on essentials, and a little further from the property you will find the seaside town of Bamburgh, and if you love the history of Adderstone Cottage, then you will be delighted to find several historical sites, including Bamburgh Lighthouse overlooking the stunning coast, RLNI Grace Darling Museum, and last but certainly not least, the impressive Bamburgh Castle, towering over the surroundings and luring in any history lover.
The coast boasts beautiful sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, so why not try out watersports or simply enjoy the salty air as you take a stroll with your four-legged family member?
Bamburgh has a great selection of eateries for you to choose from, including The Potted Lobster and The Copper Kettle Tea Rooms.
From here you will be able to visit the amazing Holy Island and many of the historical sites available, including Lindisfarne Priory.
Fall in love with the coast and countryside of Northumberland with a stay at the historic Adderstone Cottage.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
The village’s sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and dominates this part of the county’s coastline. Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Although overshadowed by the great castle, Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.
