Whiteadder Bank

The house was perfect for our family to stay one week in the scottisch borders.

It was spacious and had a Lovely view at de white adder River and the sheep. The house has a spacious kitchen and has 2 luxery bathrooms. We would recommend this house if you want to visit the scottisch borders. Fam. Henk Krakers, the Netherlands

We had a great week at Whiteadder Bank .

The house was spacious, warm, comfortable and well equipped. We especially appreciated the welcome hamper, thank you. The location was perfect with lovely views down to the river and space for the children to play. Peaceful and yet well situated for Berwick and the Northumberland Coast. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again perhaps in the Summer next time. Thank you.

Property had not been cleaned .

Infestation of spiders in all rooms ,months old cobwebs visible in all rooms .behind and under beds filthy cobwebs dust and spiders . Unfit for habitation . Only stayed one night.disgraceful customer service from Sykes and owner not interested . No resolution to raised concerns

The property was so lovely.

It had everything we needed. The owners were so accommodating and helped resolve a small issue that we had. The bottle of Prosecco, jam and coffee were a lovely touch. The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating. I would definitely book to go again

Needs a very good clean and kitchen cupboards replaced.

Otherwise great location and plenty of room. Would return

Fantastic location and we all really enjoyed our stay.

The property was great and would highly recommend. The only downside was the cleaning standards, particularly of the kitchen which we needed to clean on arrival. There was also lots of dust and cobwebs throughout (areas which have clearly not been touched for a long long time) That said it was a great property and thank you

Great Property, fantastic location, great views over the Whitadder river, welcome pack was very comprehensive, locals very friendly.

Stayed for new year for a week, absolutely beautiful property.

Hamper basket was left for us to arrive to containing tea and biscuits along with other things, very nice gesture. Really enjoyable week with amazing views from the property. Owner very helpful as we had trouble with the heating, this was fixed within 5 minutes. Really recommend and will be returning.

Excellent accomodation in an attractive setting, looking out over a river.

There were nice walks from the house, and Berwick was only a couple of miles away.

We had a wonderful holiday at Whiteadder Bank from 6th to 13th Sept 2024.

The house was in a lovely setting and very comfortable and well equipped.

It is a lovely place with good views along the river there were some issues with the cleanliness of the property I;E staines on the upstairs carpets dripping tap in the shower room no fire starter pack as stated on the manifest beds are uncomfortable couldn,t get a good nights sleep kitchen good size lounge good size with comfortable seating

We needed somewhere to stay for our daughters wedding along with family from France.

Whiteadder bank is beautiful and spacious, the setting is idyllic and yet only a short drive to berwick-upon-tweed. Absolutely loved our week here and will hopefully be back again soon

Lovely house, perfect for large families, great location

We absolutely loved this house.

Was just perfection. Felt so spacious and secluded. The free standing bath tub was to die for. Everything has been thought out so well. Lovely to have a dishwasher and washing machine etc, good Wi-Fi. Lovely welcome basket too. Will definitely be back. Pure luxury.

A beautiful place to stay, had the best time.

Comfortable, so peaceful and all together fabulous.

Spacious and comfortable property.

Peace and quiet. Fully equipped with ample crockery, large fridge, separate freezer, dishwasher, washing machine etc.. Two nice showers. Strong internet if you have to work. Ideal location for Berwick and the coast. A few niggles - a baking tray and bottom of fridge were dirty, we'd booked for the twin to be made into a double and it wasn't (one call to Sykes and this was corrected within hours), driveway slightly overgrown setting off car sensors every time you went up or down, garden needed a little tidy. Small niggles, nothing to spoil the holiday,

Fantastic location — next to the Whiteadder river looking out over sloping fields with lots of birds and other wildlife (and surprisingly entertaining sheep) with public footpaths from the doorstep.

Yet Berwick-upon-Tweed is just a short drive away — a small mediaeval town with lots of character, yet easy to access by car — with free parking! There are lots of places of interest nearby or within an easy drive — we especially enjoyed a boat trip to see seals, Puffins and other sea birds at Farne Islands. The house is spacious and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen — plenty of pots and pans, cutlery and crockery. We liked the design of the relatively recent renovation, the main access is via a boot room, which makes it easy to keep the rest of the house tidy. There are large windows along the length of the house — ideal for watching the wildlife. All bedrooms and bathrooms are accessed from a long corridor which provides flexibility to accommodate different groups. The house is well insulated with an efficient central heating system which we found had been set to maintain a comfortable temperature. It’s a unique, quality, property in a beautiful location and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable rural break in this under-appreciated part of the world.

Had a wonderful stay, we were 4 adults and 2 well behaved dogs.

We were also lucky with the weather, eating out on the patio most days. The views are amazing, the house is beautiful. Just a 10 minute drive into Berwick town and not much further if going to the beach. The house has all of the amenities you could wish for, washer, dryer, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher etc.. also tv although the channels took some finding sometimes but we got there in the end. There was a lovely gift basket on our arrival which included a bottle of sparkly and biscuits amongst other items. There are leaflets and brochures in the house with maps showing all places to visit nearby. The heating came on in the mornings for a short time which allowed warm towels in the bathroom and also despite the number of showers each morning, the water was always nice and hot. We did contact the owners on arrival as there was no water in the property, but this was down to Northumbrian Water and not through any fault of the owners. However, Jess could not do enough, and within a short time the waterboard was at the house and they fixed the issue (which apparently was somewhere down the road due to work which has been done earlier in the week). Jess, however, messaged several times to make sure it was fixed and check we were okay. One thing I will never forget are the amazing views, such a wonderful property. Thank you for helping make wonderful memories. xx

Superb location and cottage.

Plenty of daylight and well furnished. Wood burner a nice touch particularly as the weather was chilly and being technophobes we were reluctant to fiddle with the central heating controls.

Hello, excellent house and location.

please check valve in cystern in large bathroom - tendency to stick and allow water to constantly flow. Perhaps look at mattress in large bedroom - may need replacement. We used additional logs but did not have the central heating switched on at the same time. If we came back to the area we would look no where else. Regards, Gordon Connacher

I booked this property for my colleagues for a few consecutive weeks and they loved it.

The communication, from my point of view as the booker, was also very good. Will definitely be booking again.

A lovely property.

It was ideal for us, our three daughters and their partners. Very comfortable and clean with a wonderful view of the river and the sheep on the hillside. So relaxing. The kitchen had everything we needed. Only 10 minutes to Berwick and half an hour to Ford and Etal, both well worth visiting. A couple of suggestions - provide clear instructions for the central heating and have mirrors and waste paper bins in all the bedrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property. Thank you!

We loved the house and were very warm and comfortable there.

It’s well appointed, and the big windows make the most of the view.

Such a great house for us - a group of old friends.

It was warm, clean, loads of sociable space and helpful owners. Also there is a wonderful bath, fantastic showers, and we saw an otter and loads of interesting birds. Highly recommend this place. Only thing we could think of to improve it is some more chopping boards :) Thank you again.

We had a few days at Whiteadder bank, we all thoroughly enjoyed it is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in, very well equipped and so peaceful but not far to nip to Berwick if you need anything.

On arrival we had a lovely welcome pack with refreshments and local honey and jams which we all enjoyed. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept very well. The patio area is great if you get good weather it would be nice to sit out in the summer for a barbeque, we just settled for a cup of tea!. There are some binoculars which were very useful to look at the birds feeding on the river, we were not lucky enough to see a seal or otter but maybe next time. We will come back again to this lovely house with the family in the future

Loved Whiteadder Bank - 5 Stars Ours was a very last minute booking, due to the fact that we had walked away from sub-standard accommodation provided by another company!

Sykes Cottages to the rescue and luckily for us, Whiteadder Bank was available. Our intention was to originally stay in Bamburgh, but after finding Whiteadder, the location was perfect. Literally a few mins drive from the main A1 route South & North, but in such a tranquil setting. We loved sitting out on the terrace listening to the sheep talking loudly to each other. Beautiful views. The property itself has been refurbished to a really hi-spec and we couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely return in the future. Thank you to owner Andrew for hosting our last minute booking and for being in contact with us regarding a few questions we had. Highly recommended.
