Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

The cottage was a real home from home so well located for local sightseeing. We were a family group, Mum, Dad, Grandad, Grandma and 6 month baby and 2 dogs and it suited us perfectly. Jason was very helpful when I called with a couple of questions. Highly recommend, we would love to return sometime.

"Lovely cottage with all you needed for a comfortable stay."
Wine and biscuits on arrival a nice touch.
Well enclosed garden for our furry companion to explore.
Only small issue was the temperature of the downstairs, maybe this was due to it being underfloor heating? The room temperature control panel did not feel to reflect the actual room temperature.
However this would not stop us from booking the cottage again.

"The cottage is lovely and Northumberland is beautiful - the coastline in particular is spectacular, but the specific location means that there are trains at all times of the day and night."
The bed was too firm for myself and my wife which, in combination with trains throughout the night, meant that we had a pretty sleepless holiday.
The house is well appointed and the underfloor heating made it feel cosy even at the end of January.
The hosts were responsive and the cottage is well-equipped if you have dogs.

I personally didn't mind the proximity of the trains and I would definitely return :) It is a railway cottage after all.
The kitchen is delightful and well equipped, could just do with some pasta bowls.
The rear garden is lovely but is shared with the other railway cottages and is open plan so bear in mind if you have dogs. There is a small fenced in yard to the rear though and a delightful fenced in cottage garden to the front but its not very private. Great facilities and a lovely shower. As mentioned in previous reviews I found the bed wasn't very comfortable!

The welcome included wine and a congratulations car and box of chocolates for my daughter who'd just finished her A levels. What a lovely touch! The owners didn't have to, but it was a special touch. I also got a text from Jason to say the cottage was ready before the 4pm time! Again a great touch!
The cottage itself is just stunning! Easy parking and everything you could possibly need! Maybe just a knife sharpener, but that's just being picky! We were gutted it was too warm to use the log burner! Beds are comfortable, and bedrooms and bathroom just lovely!
It's just a short drive to Bamburgh.
I will definitely be back! Probably the best cottage I've stayed in in this area! And I've been going to Northumberland for over 20 years!
Thank you so much!
And for those concerned about the trains! They add to the experience!

"Holida Hoose is a beautiful cottage, decorated to a very high standard."
It is very complete, has lovely crisp linen and fluffy towels. The welcome pack was a nice touch. It even had a newspaper. I also liked that you can sit outside in front of the house and at the back (both with stunning views). After the first train gave me a fright (while I was outside) with its sound and speed, I then liked to watch them go by and they didn’t bother me. Although the trains didn’t keep me awake, the sound of the snoring neighbor did. So I moved into the other bedroom. I think they were on holiday too, so you might not have this problem

"Heating needs to be sorted out."
We had to take a kettle of hot water up stairs every day to wash as you only got a cupful of warm water out of tap also we noticed the heating only comes on in middle of night by accident we found this out as we had to take it in turns to sleep downstairs with dog . She is a rescue and gets frightened at the train noise we was okey with the trains . In the evening s it got a bit chilly but there was no heating I was not going to muck around with it as I’m not familiar with this sort of thing so all in all it was not a good holiday one more thing about dog rules and regulations it dose need to be put on Sykes web site not wait until 3 days before you go on holiday. We would not have booked this property .sorry for this review but it all NEEDS to be addressed
We thank you and appreciate all feedback good or bad as this allows us to keep up with guest expectations. However, upon receiving the report regarding the apparent issues we attended the property as a matter of urgency that day, only to find the property in good working order. Room temprature is clearly displayed on the digital thermostats and adjusted simply by the up/down arrows. Hot water to the sinks is via a small electric boiler of which was also found to be in good working order. Both the above explained upon my visit.
Regarding the dog rules we are merely bringing your attention to the terms and conditions of your booking; all for the safety and comfort of neighbouring properties and following guests.

We stayed Fri to Mon, and the trains were not an issue to us.
In the dark, I wouldn't have liked to walk to the village of Belford as the pavement is not cleared or well maintained on the road. However, this didn't really impact us as we were too tired after our days out to be bothered with the pub. We will likely book again. Thanks

Very comfy and cosy and ideally situated to explore Northumberland. We had a super time visiting favourite spots and finding new places. The cottage had all we needed and was charming.
One negative - contrary to other reviews, trains DO run through the night (freight trains and the overnight sleeper). These woke up at least some of our party in the small hours most nights. This is mentioned in the description but not really emphasized, sadly.

"This is a beautiful cottage, clean, well equiped, well loved, and fairly priced, but for us it is in the wrong location."
We were surprised to find the high speed, electrified, east coast main train line less than 50 metres from the cottage.
London-to-Edinbugh trains travelling at over 100mph was not what we expected. The heavier freight trains made the bed shake.
We did have a great time seeing all the local sights, but didn't enjoy returning to the cottage.
My constructive feedback is for Sykes Cottages to make it a lot clearer re the trains.
I am aware that many past residents have found this place fantastic, as it is a truely beautiful property. But, if we had known all the details we would probably have gone elsewhere, even if it had been more expensive.

"The cottage is lovely, nice, clean and bright."
Nicely furnished to a high standard, the kitchen is well equipped (albeit no frying pan) and the utility room with washing machine is a bonus. The Living room too is a good size, nice and comfortable.
Stone floors all downstairs add to the experience of stopping in such a property.
Upstairs, again all rooms are nice and airy, nicely furnished for what they need to be.
The proximity to the level crossing was no issue, as the sound of trains soon fades into the background, so don't let that put anyone off staying here.
All in all, the 3 of us (a couple and Spaniel) had a relaxing stay.
The cottage is in a good location for exploring all that Northumberland has to offer.
This was our 6th Christmas/New year in the area, first time staying at Holida Hoose.
We'd definitely book again, but perhaps in the summer months.
The only issue we had was the temperature of the cottage. It was cold, upstairs especially so. The heating provided did little more than take off the chill. The log burners seemed to be relied on for extra heat, and at £5 a bag of logs, it felt a cheeky way of getting the guests to subsidise the heating bill. The hot water too out of all taps wasn't anything more than 'off cold'. To wash the dishes we had to boil the kettle.
We are not new to Bamburgh in December, having stopped in different properties, all with log burners, but we've never needed them for heating, only as an added extra.
The cottage overall is lovely, nothing stopped us from enjoying our break, we simply adapted. Yes I appreciate the cost of everything going up, but perhaps loosen the purse strings a little on the heating/hot water?

For us it was a perfect location as rural but close to the village where we did walk to on a couple of occasions to the cafe and also belford farm shop. The cottage is right next to the level crossing so you will hear the trains but this wasn't a problem to us at all. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. One thing that was particularly good is being able to cosy up at night and watch films etc on a decent sized TV without needing a magnifying glass - which we have found to be the case in other cottages we have stayed in.

The only niggle I had was the mattress was too firm for me and gave me backache but my husband said it was fine. It was a great location but you were not in the village and this was about a mile and a half and there wasn't anything much around you but countryside which we loved. It was only 5 miles to the beach and you were close to the Holy Island, Seahouses. We will be returning sometime in the future.

House is recently well renovated but lacks some finishing touches such as dressing table & lighting and decent sized mirrors in the bedrooms.
Also be aware that the trainline mentioned in the description is not only very close (20 yards away) but is also the busy main line for London/Newcastle/Edinburgh and has express trains travelling through at top speed which rattle the house plus a fair amount of long (18 carriage) goods trains. By the end of the week stay it was becoming less noticeable but not ideal for an idyllic country break unless you are a train spotter.

The picturesque Northumberland village of Belford lies in the heart of Heritage countryside, midway between the popular walled towns of Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed. The pretty coastal village of Bamburgh, with its sweeping beaches and dramatic castle, is only a short drive away. Belford itself is an old coaching village with a pleasant square and offers a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. It is ideally placed for exploring the Northumbrian Coastal Route, Cheviots, the renowned Northumberland Coastline and the Scottish Borders. The opportunity to visit the bird sanctuary or seal colony on the famous Farne Islands with boat trips running daily from nearby Seahouses, is not to be missed. Alternatively check the tide times and cross to Holy Island to visit the historic Lindisfarne Priory.
