    “Overall a really lovely property, a big space so ideal for our family weekend away and kept to a high standard.”

    Close to town, off street parking and close to all amenities inc Alnwick attractions. We found a handy lane which got us to Alnwick Gardens quickly. Allows dogs which is a bonus. Here are our thoughts broken down into positive and negative- Positive - All of the above and the space was ideal for our needs really. Lovely area and the booking process with Sykes was easy.

    Close to town, off street parking and close to all amenities inc Alnwick attractions. We found a handy lane which got us to Alnwick Gardens quickly. Allows dogs which is a bonus. Here are our thoughts broken down into positive and negative- Positive - All of the above and the space was ideal for our needs really. Lovely area and the booking process with Sykes was easy. We didn’t use the garden due to time of year but it could be used. Quiet area. Cost was reasonable for size of the place and all on offer. Good customer service from Sykes (hadrians cottages) with issues - see below. Negative - we arrived slightly earlier than check in time on Friday and let ourselves into the property to put some food into the fridge. Our plan was to go to town until proper check in time. Around 3pm the house had still not been cleaned from previous guests. Bins full, beds not stripped or cleaned and coffee cups in the bathroom. We phoned Sykes who confirmed that the property had been “missed” and it was lucky we had phoned to alert them to this as it was not on the list to be cleaned for our arrival. We vacated again and cleaners came but still in the property after actual check in time and we had plans to use the house at this time. Had we not phoned, I’m not sure what would have happened with cleaning and starting our stay - the property was then cleaned but some issues - used coffee cups from previous guests left in bathroom, the welcome pack was not swapped over so contained biscuits and jam which had been used by previous guests - our dog discovered dog bones left by a previous dog which worried us about attention to detail given cleaning issues above - thanks for dog welcome pack - WiFi did not work the entire time we were there which mean smart tvs would not work - I can see this had been raised previously. This needs to be looked at asap. - would be great to have gate or fence installed for small children and dogs as the garden is “open” to the road - hot tub would be an excellent addition! - bushes need to be cut back on narrow entrance to drive and driveway - very dark and narrow so a difficult angle to get cars in (thanks for the torches!) Overall a good stay and we would come back!

About the location

ALNWICK

Alnmouth 4 miles; Bamburgh 15 miles; Rothbury 10 miles.

The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike; for even more excitement, the enchanted world of Lilidorei is also available at Alnwick Gardens, offering seasonal events and plenty of fun for little ones of your group. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
