"Tally Ho is in a lovely location but is in need of some TLC inside and out."
Garden hedge very overgrown so difficult walking up path and entering gate. Patio area in need of a tidy up and front door either needing repaired or replaced. The outer front door is meant to automatically lock once you are inside as there is no way to physically do this but it didn’t work. Bathroom was extremely dusty as were all the skirting boards, we had to wash all the cutlery and cutlery tray as all a bit grubby. One day I went to use frying pan but again had to wash as was all greasy. There is a washer/dryer in kitchen but for people like me who like to hang out their washing no rope or whirly was provided. Duvet in bedroom was far too heavy for this time of year which was a pity as bed was actually very comfortable. Unfortunately out of the 3 windows in the property you are only able to open one in the living room as no key was provided to open the other 2. Every morning the windows especially in the bedroom were covered in condensation which maybe accounts for the black mould on the inside window frames as no fresh air getting in. TV was great and unlike some other places we have rented was a fantastic size. I found the sofa very comfortable but my husband who is just under 6ft tall and in his late seventies found it far to low and difficult to get up from. Beadnell itself is a great place to stay and this was our second visit to a Sykes cottage and we will visit the area again.

"The cottage is situated in a nice area for exploring the surrounding places such as Seahouses and Bamburgh etc."
The property is in need of some maintenance, shower tray needs replacing, garden and windows have seen better days and will need some attention.
Living area and open plan kitchen are adequate for your needs. Spare pillows in cupboard above bed were stained and should be disposed of
Wi-Fi is painfully slow 25mbps at best, checked on Speedtest app.
Would not stay again, this also needs a thorough clean prior to letting as mentioned by other reviewers.

"It was a lovely property but it needs some tlc."
Cold tap in bathroom is very difficult to turn off and in the bedroom the ceiling had a patch of black marks at the window. Garden could do with some work.My husband and I both struggled with how low the sofa was being elderly. The area was lovely and so near to beaches,cafes and pubs with amazing food. The owners of the local shop were lovely and friendly. I would recommend this property and we would have loved to return but I'm afraid the sofa means we won't be back.

"Tallyhoe was the comfortable very well equipped cottage."
In a very good location within the village and literally a five minute walk to the sea. On first impressions, it looks a very comfortable property and certainly fulfil all your requirements The property is in need of some love and care, The outside area need to tidy the window frames also need to be maintained. The garden furniture has seen better days and dirty inside the property. It really could’ve done with a deep clean. Moss through the property were absolutely filthy. The radiator in the bathroom was also filthy. The bottom of the shower unit is all broken, Had a musky smell as if they’ve been put away wet. When we arrived, the place needed to be swept as it was bits all over the floor. The dog bowls were also dirty.
Don’t get me wrong I am not saying the place was filthy, but it could’ve done with a much better clean and also same as the outside area. It does need some love and tender care inside.
There was a welcome hamper, Which consist of fudge a bag of crisps and a bottle of Prosecco, There was a nice bag of dog treats for the dog as well.
All in all we enjoyed the stay in Beadnell and made the most of the area.
However, we do spend a lot of time in the area and I would think twice before booking this property again.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your input and take all feedback seriously. We will carefully consider your comments and use them to improve our services.
We are happy to hear you love the area as much as we do.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was first class, clean, comfortable and very well presented. A credit to the owners who had thought of absolutely everything to make our stay perfect.

"We had a brilliant week in Tally Ho."
The place was beautiful and had everything you could need for a stay. The owners have thought really carefully about making it perfect for a short stay. The area was really quiet and perfect for a week of relaxation and quality time together. The dog LOVED being so close to the beach for walks. Parking was really easy and only a short walk to the beach and nearby pubs and cafe.

Had to clean on arrival, and ate on most nights to avoid cooking in the kitchen. Would not return unless I could be sure that this has improved.
Shame as the property itself is very comfortable, and in a great location both for trips in the car and walking distance! We enjoyed the big TV in the evenings as lots of properties do not have these.

"We loved the position of this holiday cottage in the heart of the village of Beadnell and within walking distance to local cafes and the beautiful beach."
The size is perfect for 2 people. Cottage comfortable and cosy and a welcome hamper which is a lovely touch. Bedroom a bit cramped but bed very comfortable.
Couple of little grumbles: Ice box in fridge needs deicing, light pull in bathroom needs renewing and the outside letterbox is stuffed full of post which is no concern of ours but might be relevant to owner.

"Tally Ho
Overview :
Clean and well decorated property
We felt safe re Covid
Comfortable seating
Good firm bed and pillows very supportive
Sufficient wardrobe space in cabinets mounted alongside the bed though be careful not to bump your head on them during the night
The property has some sanitiser but obviously take your own
Excellent support from Clare the owner - nothing was a bother
Very friendly locals too who are keen to help or simply say hello ."
After day two we felt we were part of the village
TIP Keep what Sykes send you which is mainly general advice /requirements to all properties and what the owners send separate - just follow what Clare and Paul tell you to avoid confusion
Worth knowing : Property
Tassimo machine welcome and is very high spec that actually makes hot coffee (this is rare among Tassimos!)
Kitchen is well equipped though you will need vinegar and pepper
There are at least USB sockets as part with power sockets – four in the bedroom and two in the kitchen with a handy shelf above
High standard kitchen accessories– e.g. kettle and toaster
For games the property has boules and a Scrabble set
A coffee table would have been nice as the only table space is really the integrated breakfast bar
TIP Glass needs to be disposed of in the Harbour car park so keep a carrier bag for this
Worth knowing : basic Accessibility
Property all open plan and head floored so easy to move around
Samsung TV has easily settable subtitles as standard
The porch has sufficient space to take a 4 wheeled manual (NOT power scooter ) walker folded
TIP walk out back of estate ( turn right then right again and walk up a cut at the end of the road on left hand side ) which gets you to a seat overlooking the sea in 6 minutes – useful for people with limited mobility
The seats in the house and garden are low so if you have problems getting up out of chairs or any back problems this is probably not the property for you
Worth knowing : Location
The property simply couldn’t be better located for local amenities
Turn left at the junction with Meadow Lane and its 250 metres to
1 the village pub café and Hotel – all excellent and all within a charming 60 metres triangle alongside the Church
Craster Arms currently ( August 2021 ) runs bar service till 5 then table service
The hotel is table service all day I believe
All eating places are getting very busy and you need to book at least a day in advance
The village looks beautiful early evening as the sun starts to set so always carry a camera
2 Turning right at the junction with Meadow Lane c 200 metres to
A Fish and chip van which Friday – to Sunday
The Village Shop which is quite upmarket and maintaining a very safe four maximum in the shop and mask at all times
Local bus stop - moved from the Haven to Harbour Road literally 30 metres away
From a public transport of view the X 18 will get you anywhere on the coast very cheaply and for a long semi-rural route pretty punctual . You can buy an explorer ticket for the whole of North Northumberland for three days for a mere £15.
It is therefore worth stressing this property is as much useful for public transport users as drivers
TIP Walk to Seahouses along the coast is lovely just over two miles
The harbour is about 800 – 900 metres away and is superb – clean relatively unspoilt beach

"Lovely little cottage, well equipped and comfortable."
Big spoiler was the cleanliness. Crumbs on kitchen floor, I wrote my initials in the dust on the extractor, top 2 food plates on the pile of plates dirty and lots of dog hair on rug and entrance mat in porch. Lost confidence very quickly in the cleanliness of the whole kitchen and spent the first hour of my stay washing all plates, cups and cutlery, wiping kitchen surfaces and sweeping kitchen floor. My husband tried to vac rug and entrance mat but the vacuum cleaner in the property was totally useless! If the owners of the property are prepared to allow dogs to stay then a good vac is essential, as is a good cleaner.
