• "Once again a lovely stay."

  Warm and comfortable and clean, appalling weather (Storm Darragh) meant that one of the patio doors let in water (I've flagged with the owner just to be aware) but we dealt with that easily. This was our third stay and it didn't disappoint at all.

• "Just spent another brilliant week at our 'special place"Beadnel."

  We stayed in Bar Harbour just a quick stroll to the beautiful Beadnel Bay beach. Bat harbour was well appointed and had everything needed to keep our three generation family happy. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well appointed and we had no trouble catering for 7 guest .Our two dogs were also happy with the enclosed garden. One thing we could have done with was a clothesline. Can highly recommend Bar Harbour and will not hesitate to rebook for our next Beadnel break. Richard

• "Bar Harbour is perfect for a break with the dogs, its only a few minutes walk to the beach, has a secure large grass garden (especially important for 2 escape artist dogs)."

  Its a South West facing garden and was lovely sitting out on the ample garden furniture enjoying the sunshine knowing the dogs couldn't escape. House has very good water pressure for the showers, heating was very quick to come on. The house has everything you'd need for a holiday. We will be back.

• "Bar Harbour is a lovely house in a great location, very close to the beach, cafes and pub."

  It has a good home from home feeling and was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We even had a lovely new double oven fitted during our stay. This was our fifth visit to the property and we have thoroughly enjoyed all our stays. The garden is a good size and very secure for dogs and children. Another fabulous holiday in a great house!

• "Great location, only a 5 minute walk to Beadnell Bay and easy to travel to other places in the area."

  We had lovely weather so we were able to use the garden as well and appreciated the comfortable outside furniture. Some of the crockery in the kitchen could do with replacing and I would recommend hanging space and a mirror in the twin room. Overall though, it's a good house with plenty of space.

• "This was the second time we stayed at Bar Harbour and we would definitely go back again."

  From the minute you walk in it feels like home. The house is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Everything you need is there for your convenience and comfort. It's proximity to the beautiful sandy beach at Beadnell Bay us a big plus as well because you don't need to go out in your car to get there; literally 5 minutes walk. Mrs Maw, the owner of the house, is only at the other end of the phone if you need to ask her anything but honestly, there was no need as everything you need is there.

  Furnishings could do with updating particularly the seating in the living area & carpets upstairs. But very clean & great for our dog.

• "Nice house, but the listing on Sykes does not state that dogs are not allowed upstairs."

  We only found out the afternoon prior to arrival when I chased the owner for the details of welcome info. We have never let our dog on any furniture, but he normally sleeps in his own bed on the landing. He stayed in the hall, but didn’t settle. This is something that should definitely be put in the listing as it could be an issue to future renters. The only other point is, it would have been nice to have a blind in the en-suite as it faces the road, it did have opaque glass. I would recommend this property, but Sykes listing needs to be amended.

  The new sofas and chairs are a great improvement and very comfy. Very clean and warm. Beds are lovely, slept very well. The only slight niggle is the unpredictable shower in the main bathroom- too hot then cold at times. Other than that, perfect. We have booked up again for early December!

• "The house is well positioned, only a 5 minute walk to the harbour and beach."

  There is a safe enclosed garden, ideal for young children and dogs. The house was noticebly clean on arrival (apart from a greasy oven and grill). The ensuite smells of damp which has permeated into the bedroom and could be a problem for anyone with breathing problems. The beds are very comfortable. There are a number of minor maintenance issues that I have notified the owner directly about. Lovely house but needs some TLC.

  Thank you for your comments, which I have also replied to by email. Any smell of damp may have been due to a leak in the shower in the ensuite bathroom, which was rectified just prior to your arrival. There is no longer a smell of damp in the bathroom, or bedroom. The house is due to have some maintenance work carried out soon, which is done annually in the winter, and any minor issues will be rectified then. Pictures of the house on Sykes website were taken very recently, and confirm that the house is in overall excellent condition. Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Bar Harbour."

  We found the description accurate. The house is mostly comfortable with good beds and en suite shower fine. The over bath shower worked well too, but it’s a very deep bath. The kitchen was fine, and we didn’t really cook. The dishwasher tablet dispenser was broken but seemed to work. Our main problem were the sofas - they were quite uncomfortable and we were happy to be only 4 people. Having said that, we would happily return.

  Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you found the sofas uncomfortable. They are relatively new, but are due to be upgraded over the winter months. The shower over the bath in the main bathroom works well for most people, especially with young children. I do hope that you return soon. Property Owner

• "Photos on site need updating as interior was not what we were expecting and all a bit mismatched."

  For example TV much smaller than pictured, sofas not the same and very uncomfortable, dining chairs different, mugs / crockery very old fashioned and chipped. Bathrooms very tired and need maintenance, main house bathroom was a real issue as seal on the bath has gone so if you shower water leaks through the lounge ceiling ! We were limited to baths in there and had to all use the en suite to shower. Windows and doors need attention, some windows wouldn’t open at all and doors at the back are very stiff. Very strange smell downstairs, we thought it may have been the cleaning fluid but as it got worse when doors were closed, I don’t think that is the case. Strong smell of marijuana … possibly the rug in the lounge ? Freezer really not big enough for a house for 8 people, and was made worse by the fact it desperately needed defrosting. The mattress in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable. No welcome pack or info on bin days etc or even the extra touches of advising places to visit / local restaurants etc ? I have never known a holiday property not do this. It’s a real shame as the location of this property is amazing and has such potential, but it needs a lot of TLC. Another positive was the enclosed back garden - great for dogs.

  I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our house. I have arranged updated photos, which will show 2 matching sofas and 8 matching dining chairs, which differs from your review. The main bathroom was decorated and upgraded prior to your arrival, and I would dispute it being 'very tired'. Had you reported a leak from shower in main bathroom, it would immediately have been attended to, but you did not mention it until placing this review. However, present guests have not had an issue with this shower. However, this will be further checked out by a plumber to confirm. Cleaners did report that the freezer had been turned up by yourselves and they had therefore had to defrost the freezer when you left, and turn it back down. A welcome pack was emailed to you prior to your arrival at the house, containing any information required, including local information and also a contact number to report any issues. As always, tea, coffee milk and sugar were left out for your arrival. All mattresses were replaced during covid downtime, with good quality mattresses. We have had no other complaints about this mattress, and indeed I have the same mattress at home and find it extremely comfortable. As for the smell of marijuana, I cannot comment, as I have never smelt marijuana, but again this is a problem noticed only by yourself. I am baffled by your review, but perhaps the house just was not for you. Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our stay, very clean property only two mins walk from the beach."

  There are some dogs next door which are a little intimidating if you are not expecting them to suddenly lunge at the fence. I think they just wanted to play, but they were noisy. There are some very creaky floor boards (not what you expect with a newish house) which really do need attention, with a small child with us, we had to do a kind of ninja dance across the landing so as not to waken her. Thicker curtains or blinds on all the windows are also a must, as it was very difficult to sleep as soon as it got light from 4am onwards. Obviously I am being picky as I would love to go back again, but would be reluctant if these points were not addressed. Even better if there was a box of books, jigsaws or family games for wet days perhaps.

  Linen, towels and necessities (toilet roll, soap etc) were provided as well as a lovely welcome pack. Plus WiFi and a Netflix Account available to use. A couple of things frustrated us over our stay. The floorboards upstairs were extremely creaky (we all have the odd creaky floorboard but these were significantly noisy). This made getting our 1 year old to sleep, and ensuring we didn't wake him walking around the house quite difficult. And whilst the house was clean, it was clear that under the sofa's hadn't been swept prior to our arrival as there quite a bit of dust and dog hair under the sofas. Which, in times of Covid was rather frustrating. The location (so close to the beach) was the real benefit of the property.

  We found Bar Harbour to be very comfortable, it was warm despite the very windy outside. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of dishcloths and tea towels. There were dishwasher tablets left and a nice little welcome pack. There were dog bowls for our two poodles who loved the back garden which was very nicely enclosed, with high close boarded fencing. The beds were the best I have slept in at a holiday rental in some time. I could actually sleep and wasn't balanced on hardboard. Everything was working as it should, and a nice little touch was the lovely bamboo children's' ware in the kitchen, although to be honest I wouldn't expect a holiday cottage owner to provide such things. We had plenty of hot water and my granddaughter loved a splash about in the bath. If you had forgotten any toiletries there were plenty in the bathroom. A really nice touch. We would stay here again and nothing was too much trouble for the owner, although there was nothing to contact her about once we had arrived. Its a short walk to the beach, and Beadnell beach is wonderful for walking your dog although my memories are of sailing there in my boat as a child. Its not far to Seahouses and Bamburgh or Amble.

• "The location was great & the welcome pack was a lovely touch."

  The house itself was good and well stocked with cleaning materials etc. Unfortunately we found the house to be very grubby eg we found large ‘dust bunnies’ in the main bedroom between the bed & bedside table, the toaster looked as if it hadn’t been emptied for a while, bathrooms needed a good scrub, downstairs floors and bath tub were dirty and had to be cleaned by us. The instruction folder only had 3 pages of information in it. Instructions were found in the kitchen drawer but were loose and not very helpful. There were plenty of glasses, adequate crockery but nothing suitable for children (although there was dog bowls available). Cookware was adequate but the oven trays were rusty. Kitchen drawers were filled with ‘clutter’ and the dishwasher handle was held together with tape. The floors were very creaky – especially annoying as we had toddlers with us and we were trying to be quiet! We have stayed with Sykes Cottages many times and this house is the worse one for cleanliness we have stayed in.

  Thank you for your feedback Your comments are very out of character for this property. The cleanliness scores are always 100% The property is very well stocked and the owner has taken onboard the comments regarding the instruction booklet. It may have been moved by another Customer.

• "The house is in an ideal spot if you like unspoilt beaches on your door step."

  Great for dog walkers and close to numerous good pubs and restaurants. The house has all the facilities you need and for the four of us there was plenty of room. It would feel crowded for a party of eight. The kitchen is small but well equipped and there is one reception room, a decent lounge diner. Fixtures and fittings were a little basic and we found the bed a touch soft for our liking but we still slept ok. The only real negative was the noisy flooring upstairs, it creaks and bangs no matter how light footed you are and any light sleeper is woken up by any movement. It really could do with a look at. Having said that we had a good stay here, WiFi is excellent and the owner was very helpful. Good enclosed garden if you have dogs. House was clean and fresh.

• "An excellent holiday home."

  I would be happy to rebook this accommodation for our next visit to Beadnell I would also be happy to recommend Sykes Cottages for the professional way they managed our booking and for the prompt assistance we received when we reported a leaking shower.

• "Had a great stay at Bar Harbour."

  The property itself is extremely spacious and the location is beautiful, only a stones throw from the beach. I will definitely recommend Sykes Cottages in the future.

• "Booked the house for a family wedding visit."

  Grandparents, two sons, their partners and babies. It had everything as advertised and to a very satisfactory standard. The wifi and tumble dryer were an unexpected bonus. Northumberland is beautiful, even at the end of November!
