• "Our 2nd stay in this lovely cottage, fabulous location, very warm and cosy, comfy beds and duvets, lots of space, and so peaceful."

  Sadly on this visit, we had to let Tanya the housekeeper know on the first day when she texted us to check everything was ok, that the floors were dirty, within a few hours of arriving our socks were filthy from walking on the floors. Tanya arranged to have them re mopped on the Monday which was a lot better. We think that one of the issues which didn’t help was the main mat near the kitchen door needed a good clean and dirt was being walked through. New frying pans are needed as the non stick coating was coming off, so we couldn’t use those, the oven needs cleaning as previous guests had obviously spilt fat. We knew the log burner was out of action before we arrived after reading previous feedback, due to a problem with the flue, we were very disappointed that Sykes had not let us know this before hand as apparently the owners had let Sykes know so they could advise guests. This was poor customer service from Sykes, but it didn’t spoil our week as the heating was great, the cottage was always so warm and cosy.

• "King size bed needs a new mattress."

  I had significant backache by the morning. Would benefit from a higher quality duvet a pillows. Perhaps rugs upstairs and a runner on the stairs. Only one bathroom upstairs would be a problem if the house were full. There were only two of us this time.

• "Book our stay for 2 main reasons 1."

  Close proximity to the sea - perfect could hear the waves at night and enjoyed lots of beach walks. 2. An opportunity to cosy up in front of a log burner- informed shortly before departure that log burner was out of order, very disappointed. Property was spacious and functional. Found Sykes customer service difficult to navigate.

  Thank you for your positive review to our house at Hauxley. We can only apologise for the log burner. During routine maintenance it was found the chimney had structural damage. Sykes was informed as soon as we found out the fire was not to be used and asked to inform all guests who had booked a stay with us. Workmen have been organised to fix the chimney when the house is empty. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Northumberland overall. Property Owner

• "In a gorgeous location, a very short walk on to the beach, you can find this lovely, spacious 3 bed cottage that provided us with a relaxing and memorable holiday."

  Beautifully clean, lovely warm heating and everything we needed to have a relaxing stay. A lovely welcome pack, introduced us to local coffee and tea. We took bacon rolls to the beach for breakfast and late night take away, gave mum the night off. As I get so hot at night, I would have liked a lower tog duvet, but only one small niggle. A really very enjoyable stay. Thank you.

• "We had a lovely stay in this spacious, warm and welcoming cottage."

  The beds are lovely and comfortable, as are the sofas. The house is in a lovely quiet location and enabled us to explore the area well. It was so nice to be able to walk along the coastal path and through the woods to Hauxley Nature Reserve. We also enjoyed a kayak expedition on the River Coquet and a delightful boat trip out to see the seals at Coquet Island. When we had a slight maintenance issue, we were very impressed by the speedy response from the owners, who addressed the problem on the same day.

  Thank you for taking the time to give us such a fabulous review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

• "Perfect cottage for a family who love quiet beaches as we do - the cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed (downstairs wet room plus bathroom upstairs VERY useful) and the location is fantastic - less than 2 mins and you are on the beach."

  Feels beautifully remote but also has the advantage that Morrison's is only 5 mins away so dashing out for things we'd forgotten was no problem! Should just mention that one side of the cot was broken & wouldn't lock upright - was OK for our baby but an older one could have climbed out fairly easily so not ideal

  Thank you for such an amazing review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Also thank you for bringing to our attention the issues with the travel cot, we will certainly rectify this Property Owner

  It is very clean, comfortable and welcoming. We particularly enjoyed the extension which is light and airy. It is very quiet and we could hear the sea and the birds every morning. The small outside area just needs a bit of TLC to make it more inviting to use. I have already recommended it to my daughter as a good place for her family.

• "This is a really lovely property and so very close to the beach which was why we chose it."

  It is very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated, and the tiny village of Low Hauxley is very quiet. We enjoyed some lovely coastal walks to Amble which has some good places to eat. Also worth a visit is the Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre which is just a 5 minute walk away. They let you borrow binoculars too if you want to do some bird watching while you're there. There's also a lovely cafe at the centre. Just one small thing- we couldn't open the velux window in the upstairs bathroom as it was too high, and couldn't find any extractor fan for ventilation so we just kept showers very brief to stop it getting too steamed up. All in all, though, a great place to stay for a peaceful, relaxing holiday.

• "A clean, warm, and comfortable cottage with just a short stroll to the beach."

  A welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits and a few cleaning essentials was nice to see as we arrived. We had an issue with the upstairs shower, which was very rapidly sorted out by the owner. Some people have brought attention to the overgrown field at the back of the property. As wildlife enthusiasts, we loved this. Lots of birds and insects, plus the rabbits. Hauxley Nature Reserve is a nice short walk along the coastal path, and is well worth a visit. Especially the cafe, make sure to leave room for the scones, the best I’ve ever eaten! Just a couple of things. It would have been much better to have mattress protectors on the beds. I was surprised not to have this, especially from a hygiene perspective. The duvets and pillows could do with an update too. Some new coasters and place mats would also make a difference. Overall being so close to the beautiful beach and view of Coquet Island is great making this cottage a good place to stay.

  Lovely and spacious for our family of five, well equipped kitchen, and a very comfortable and welcoming home. Perfect location wise for our family, literally a minute or two’s short stroll to a lovely beach, which even our little 2 year old could happily toddle to every day. Lovely base to explore the local area, would hugely recommend the wildlife centre which is few minutes drive (or walk along the beach) away, and Amble which is a short drive away, with it’s little shops, boat trips and gorgeous icecream parlour! The cottage has a great wet room style shower downstairs (in addition to shower upstairs), which was massively helpful to shower off kids and wetsuits after every beach trip. Would not hesitate to recommend this cottage, thanks for a fabulous start to our summer holidays!

Great proximity to the beach and house which had everything we could have hoped for being away for a week.

  Lovely house in a great location right next to the coast. It is spacious, light and warm and we particularly liked sitting in the sun room. Lots of walks from the door. The only suggestion I have is that there is not enough equipment in the kitchen for self catering. More crockery and cutlery is needed, especially if you want to use the dishwasher. The plates and bowls provided are also very small. Other than that we hope to return.

• "The property is very attractive and very warm - the underfloor heating in the kitchen and sun room is particularly welcome on cool days."

  In general, it's a comfortable and decently-equipped place. Although there's little to no noise from outside, or neighbouring properties, the property does generate some considerable noise because of the wooden floors that squeak and the cottage-style door latches. This may not be a problem to most but it's impossible to move around the house quietly, so if anyone's up in the night that could wake others. I think there could be more basic information in the visitor's guide. The wifi password is provided but the book doesn't say which wifi to attempt to log into. It may seem obvious about which dustbins to use for what but these vary across the country, so simply giving some information - and about putting bins out - would be useful. Finally, online info says there's space for one car, but there are actually spaces for two; these need to say the same thing. Overall, it's a lovely house and really well-located for the beach and the nature reserve. If you're someone who can ignore noisy floors and door latches then it would be fine.
