"As seasoned cottage renters the outstanding features of this cottage for us were the extremely solicitous care we received from Zoe, very very comfortable beds and the tranquil, private location."
All other facilities were as expected for a highly rated Sykes cottage. Ideally placed for visiting the many historic sites in this beautiful area, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. We could sit here and write a thesis on this wonderful cottage, but will end saying "thank you so much for a fantastic stay".

"I had a lovely time at thistleyhaugh cottage."
The property is very clean and has everything you could need for your stay. The cottage has a beautiful garden and fields all around. Using the hot tub with these views is very relaxing.
The owners are lovely and were very helpful and prompt if I needed anything while there.
There are plenty of places to visit locally and within an hour's drive of the property including the holy island, many castles and stately homes. Rothbury is worth a visit too!

"What a fantastic week we spent at the cottage."
It’s beautifully presented and clean and has everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. The hot tub was fabulous and we loved sitting by the log fire to warm up afterwards. The cottage is on a working farm and my children loved seeing all of the lambs and cows and waving to the farmers coming past with the sheepdogs. My 3 year old has decided he now wants to be a farmer when he grows up. We would love to return in the future.

"Absolutely beautiful cottage and a fantastic stay."
Really exceptional accommodation and loads of space and little extras. We will certainly be back! Just one tiny thing: it would be useful to pop a sign in the farmyard so that it's clear where to go in order to head up to the cottage...but only a minor thing by way of feedback. THANK YOU. We LOVED it!

"Myself and my partner had a fantastic three nights rest just relaxing at the great cottage had no plans to visit anywhere in the area just wanted peace and quiet which this cottage fulfilled."
The hot tub was a bonus. I hope we left the property in good order and would like to thank the owner for cookies and soft drinks in the fridge. I would also like to thank the owner for the offer for paying for my car to be washed. I did not take them up on this offer as my car was already dirty before coming to their property but would like to thank them for their kind offer. We will return again sometime in the future. They have a great property I would like to have something of my own one day thanks again

The cottage is beautiful, comfortable and has everything you need during your stay. In a very relaxing setting with beautiful views. Directions were easy and we found the cottage with no problems. On arrival there was wine, biscuits, milk and fresh juice which were very welcomed. We only had one car but there is ample parking space. The garden was beautiful and well maintained.
The hot tub was amazing and we were lucky enough to have fine weather so made good use of it and the garden. We would definitely stay again.

The cottage is warm, comfortable and really safe for our young child to explore. We love all the touches the owners have considered to help visitors relax such as the hot tub and the book shelf. It is also really well set up for a group of six, we were here with my parents and the two reception rooms mean it's easy for everyone to have some space. We can't wait to visit again.

Warm and cosy, great location, friendly owners. Highly recommend. Top tip...switch all the lights off including hottub lights when in there looking at the stars...just magical. If I was to make one recommendation I would suggest new TRVs on the rads....unbelievably we were too warm at times lol. It would also save owners some money.

"I’m was a lovely and relaxing stay but one point of contention is the fact limited hot water in the property."
5 of us stayed at the property and taking a hot or even warm shower was difficult for us all to have, we had to wait quite some time to be able to take a shower of a comfortable temperature. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and would consider returning if the water issue was resolved.

"Great cottage with all the comforts of home."
Fantastic location for looking at the dark skies in the hot tub. Not too far from the coast for walks on the beaches. Good walks too over the fields down to the kennels & back round. Didn't manage to walk to the pub, but it is more of a food pub anyway. Highly recommend this cottage, but would love to see gin glasses at the properties we go to, instead of having to take our own. Also, a tray over the bath would be good, instead of having to reach up or down for toiletries. A good idea to take wellies as well as walking boots.

"A lovely property in a very quiet, rural location."
Well equipped, spacious, very clean and comfortable. With good wifi, 2 tvs and a smart speaker! There was a starter pack of food essentials, coffee and tea. Cafetiere for fresh coffee. The sky is away from street lights so provides a great way to star gaze whilst laying relaxed in the hot tub with a beer! It could do with a saute pan and a drainage rack for dishes for small washes rather than use the dishwasher.

"Very much enjoyed our stay, lovely cottage."
However, could do with more cutlery and crockery to cut down on number of dishwasher usage. Disappointed that hot tub was not particularly very clean on arrival and it was out of action for 24 hours, as was serviced midway during our stay. Could have been done on change over day, as this would have been more expected. Road surfaces very poor, even after part repair for 3 days.

Highly recommended and we hope to make a return visit.
