  The property lay out has been very well thought out. We will be back at some point for further holidays here. Just one small disappointment, the mattress was too soft for my liking. Our mattress at home is a firm one. Having said this we will still stay here again. Property layout is very good for anyone with limited mobility. Thank you Sally and Gav

• "Had an amazing week."

  Accommodation was excellent. Lovely and clean, beautiful safe grassed area if you have dogs or small children. Views from outside seating area are beautiful. The Kitchen has everything you need plus some. Owner was brilliant I got the key stuck in the key safe he came over straight away and got it fixed. Highly recommend this holiday let. Only one little thing and we fixed it with a towel. The bathroom window doesn't have a blind. It faces nextdoor, with light on I presume they would be able to see in?? It's was easy fix .

  Lovely fenced off garden, very secure. The lodge has everything needed for a self cater holiday, spotlessly clean. Could do wit a blind in bathroom window for privacy maybe. But it’s ok as glass is frosted. Shower and bathroom great. Beds very comfy too and loads of storage room. A great base to visit all surrounding areas. Amazing village amenities just a short walk to get too, pubs, bakery, corner shop, butchers. All in all a lovely quiet location, beautiful views from the lodge, we will definitely be visiting again, Thank you for a lovely stay.

  Very comfy clean and roomy. The enclosed lawned garden was great for our dog and the meadow at the side of the lodge was an added bonus for off lead fun. Beautiful views, clean air and a peaceful setting. We have already rebooked to visit this place again later in the year, which l think says it all. 10 out of 10.

  The cottage was pretty much perfect, comfortable and clean and had everything we needed.

  Cosy, comfortable and a great base for exploring Northumberland, which we certainly did! There is a wonderful village cafe cum food shop. I must have put on a stone in our time there! A bonus for our dogs was the enclosed garden and a paddock at the side. We were also lucky to have half decent weather for our weeks stay which helped. In fact we have booked again for later in 2024.

  The shower screen doors need a little TLC as they were difficult to open and close and came off the runners a few times. But apart from those minor issues a great lodge and first class holiday. The private field next to the lodge was a bonus to walk the dog, she loved it. Thank you to the owners and Sykes.

  There was only one loo roll for two persons for a week, there were no pot lids for the pots, the cutlery was poor and very basic. There was no coffee percolator. The plates were bare minimum. Little things maybe but not expected in a Sykes approved cottage. The next door people had the same complaints. The lodge was clean, the comfort was great and the little South facing garden ideal for a dog or barbecue or sitting out with a glass of wine enjoying the weather. Time for the owners to step up!

  We know the area well but did not venture too far due to the enormous amount of people at all our favourite locations - never seen it like that before over many years - cars parked on verges etc partly blocking roads - folk camping in tents, caravans and mobile homes at Druridge Bay - we did not stay long.

  Great rural location and quiet,when you live in a city it's nice to have that stillness. The property was immaculately clean on arrival, kitchen utensils were provided. There was a bottle of wine on arrival. Everything worked as it should pretty much,except TV you had to manually switch on/off. My mother found the the settees being too low off the ground which caused discomfort. I'd suggest for a singular armchair to be provides with a high back and supporting arms. It would help people with mobility issues. It was a fantastic stay and pleasant experience.

  The location was excellent - very quiet with wonderful views and within easy reach of all the places we wanted to visit. We had excellent neighbours who also had dogs with them. Our only slight quibbles would normally have been handled by speaking to the owner &/or filling in a log book before we left but their absence were two of the quibbles. We didn't really have any urgent need to speak to the owner but did try to call a couple of times and just reached voicemail on each of them. It would have been nice to have been able to thank them in person & to leave feedback for the next occupants.

• "This is the third time we have stayed in lodge style accommodation and have to say this stay was the best of the three."

  I am guessing the lodge is fairly new which likely gives it an advantage but everything was great, the size, the facilities in the lodge, the location, the views, etc. all were great and if we were exploring this part of Northumberland again we would definitely stay there. Only one minor gripe was that the lodge has a security alarm fitted which is great when you leave the property whilst exploring but at night the PIR in the bedrooms trigger at the slightest movement which lights up the bedrooms for a few seconds. Not a lot that they can do about this other than put the alarms on the bedroom windows rather than having PIR in the bedrooms. If you want exact locations for the lodge as it is not on the main road here are the SatNav co-ordinates 55°17'40.0"N 1°48'10.3"W or 55.294431, -1.802860. Per the hosts' directions, better to drive into Longframlington village and turn left onto Rothbury Road and then turn left into Villa Lane (off Rothbury Road) especially if coming from a southerly direction.

Wonderful large bathroom with a separate bath and large shower the only thing to let it down was the ill fitting toilet seat that moved when you sat on it quite scary when your not expecting it.

  Greeted with a bottle of wine, pity that there was only one tea cloth for the week, half a toilet roll, no salt and pepper, the windows in need of a clean. Plenty of towels in the bathroom but rock hard from drying outdoors. A heavy duvet made even hotter as they were covered in flannelette covers. The television had the habit of turning itself on, disconcerting when you returned from an outing to find it on.

  It's a new cottage with a good finish. Gorgeous views. The private enclosed garden was perfect for being able to let the dogs run around. It is very close to some sheep though, so take care if your dogs like ours, would love a chase with them! The only reason why I marked it down is that the curtains are so thin, we were awake at the crack of dawn each day! So if you are susceptible to being waken by the sun, take an eye mask.
