“We loved staying here for our second stay Felt like home from home.”

. Had some difficulty with getting the microwave to work, and although there was a manual, it would have been helpful to have some simple step by step instructions written out. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.

“We shortened our stay as found the mattresses incredibly uncomfortable.”

It was also unbearably noisy with pigeons roosting by the door in the back bedroom and neighbours at the rear constantly running up and downstairs. I rang Sykes to let them know of our decision to vacate early. They asked me to write my complaint to them which I did. However my complaint has not been dealt with, every time I email it’s a different rep with different advice. I’m still awaiting a response re compensation for our shortened stay. Sykes has said it’s up to the owner although I have booked through Sykes and only dealt this them. I find this appalling customer service and I would like to escalate my complaint but no one is responding or directing me to someone who can help.

- Helen, October 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay. Unfortunately, we were not made aware of these problems at the time, which meant we didn’t have the opportunity to rectify them for you. We haven’t had any previous comments about the mattresses being uncomfortable. We will also look into the noise concerns you raised but again we haven't had anyone mention this before. Your comments are invaluable in helping us improve, and we appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Property Owner

“We’ve stayed at a Jackson’s Cottage 4 times now and we still love it.”

It’s a little shangrila which is very well placed in the village and is really cosy. However, I’ve one comment about the back bedroom. Can the owners please buy a sheet that fits the bed as the existing sheet is clearly old, does not fit the bed very well and makes it uncomfortable due to the sheet moving around when you move. I did bring my own sheet because this very issue was mentioned in an earlier review - I am very glad I did. We would like to have seen a better solution for disposing of household rubbish other than in the local council public bin opposite the accommodation. Other than this, we do love the cottage and would be more than happy to return in the future. I’ll probably still bring my own sheet.

Eileen September 2025

“We spent a wonderful week in Jackson Cottage.”

The location is perfect, right on the Main Street and a short stroll to golf course and beach which can be seen from the lovely window seat in sitting room. The cottage is perfect - well furnished and comfortably warm and cosy. The kitchen has everything one would hope to find - including tea, coffee and biscuits! Beds are comfortable with lovely linen , shower worked very well and towels are soft and plentiful. The owners, Dorothy and Brian are lovely- very responsive and attentive to needs. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Jackson Cottage and would love to return.

- Eileen, September 2025
Craig August 2025

“Smashing cottage, perfectly located.”

We certainly be returning to Alnmouth and would rebook Jackson Cottage without hesitation.

- Craig, August 2025
Ann June 2025

“Clean and comfortable cottage in an excellent location.”

Sea views from the living area a real bonus.

- Ann, June 2025
Mike May 2025

“Everything was fine.”

The only negative was the fitted sheets on the double bed in the back bedroom did not stay fitted and came loose when I turned over causing the sheet to gather in the middle of the bed therefore causing a poor nights sleep. Better fitted sheets that go completely under the mattress would solve this.

- Mike, May 2025
Liz May 2025

“Wonderful stay at Jacksons cottage, the cottage was warm and comfortable especially coming in from a breezy walk on the beach.”

Good size bedrooms and we liked the upside down layout making full use of the views. The cottage was perfect for the three of us, we really liked sitting upstairs in the evenings, the open plan layout with the very well eqipped kitchen made everything easy. The location too was really good a few minutes to the sea and a few minutes to the deli, pubs and restaurants. Bristro 23 being a highlight. We found parking easily very near the property. We would definately return

“2 nd time in alnmouth , love the place Beautiful town lovely cottage”

Julie June 2024

“Another wonderful stay at Jackson Cottage in beautiful Alnmouth.”

The cottage is perfectly situated right in the village with fabulous views from the window seat of the beach. Parking can be a challenge but we always found somewhere not too far from the cottage, we wouldn’t want more parking and less village. We visited Bistro 23 for another fabulous meal and had some delicious food from the deli. We had to contact the owners due to a self- induced drama (!) and Catherine couldn’t have been more kind or helpful. Can’t wait to return!

- Julie, June 2024
Mike June 2024

“The property was excellent, very clean and functional, perfect position in the village and the window seat was special.”

Enjoyed our stay very much. We have been coming to Alnmouth every year for 41 years and have stayed in a variety of places within the village and this rates as the best value for money and location. However the only downside is the parking and the rubbish disposal both of which are an inconvenience. Having said that, for the location alone I would put up with it, so much so that I have already booked for next year. Thank you

- Mike, June 2024
Martin May 2024

“Great accommodation.”

Well equipped and comfortable with lovely views of the sea and down Northumberland Street. Hot water tap in bath not working so couldn't use bath or shower. Could do with instruction manual for cooker

- Martin, May 2024

“Parking is a problem”

Elizabeth February 2024

“Beautiful place.”

Didn’t have any trouble parking. Very clean and comfortable with everything you could need in a fantastic location

- Elizabeth, February 2024
Jane September 2023

“2nd visit to this cottage and as good as it was last time.”

Parking can be an issue especially now the local council taken up some of the spaces for electric vehicles. However it wouldn't stop us coming again and staying in this cottage

- Jane, September 2023
Sue August 2023

“We enjoyed staying at Jackson cottage very much; it's well positioned near pubs, restaurants and shops and the property had all the things we needed.”

Information on parking in Alnmouth would have been helpful as it took a while to work out where and when we could park. Also, I appreciate space is an issue as far as bins are concerned but we didn't like not been able to recycle glass and plastic . Everything else was lovely.

- Sue, August 2023
Anna July 2023

“We had a wonderful holiday at Jackson Cottage.”

It is in a fabulous location with sea views and just a few minutes walk from the beach. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. The only downside is the lack of bins and no recycling facilities at all, so all waste has to be dispensed of in the public bin opposite the cottage which is a little strange and felt uncomfortable. If this could be changed then the cottage really would be ideal.

- Anna, July 2023
K July 2023

“A really clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage in the middle of the village and close to the sea.”

The beach is perfect for little ones. We would definitely stay there again.

- K, July 2023
John July 2023

“This is an excellent cottage giving really good value for money accommodation.”

Cottage was very clean and comfortable. The only way to improve would be to concentrate on a few small details: 1 Update the details in the black folder to be more relevant. 2 Provide some easily understood instructions for oven,microwave and television.

- John, July 2023
Jane June 2023

“Very well located cottage that was equipped and furnished to a high standard.”

Lovely to have the sea view. Very helpful owner. Highly recommended and would certainly return.

- Jane, June 2023
Sandra March 2023

“The cottage exceeded my expectations in every way.”

The photographs don’t do it justice. It was so warm, peaceful and comfortable. It was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect and I was able to buy everything I needed on the doorstep. The views from the cottage are stunning and it is the perfect base to explore Northumberland from. I’d return again in a heartbeat

- Sandra, March 2023
Mark March 2023

“The property was extremely comfortable with an excellent view.”

The only problem was the disposing of our rubbish into the public litter bin across the street, which was rather embarrassing, but I do understand that there was nowhere to put a rubbish outside the cottage.

- Mark, March 2023
James February 2023

“Great place, lovely property , excellently prepared for guests.”

Great Base to explore the area or just relax in Alnmouth.

- James, February 2023
Alison December 2022

“Could have done with simpler instructions for the use of the appliances .”

We never got to use the microwave ! Lovely place to be holed up in in Alnmouth in the recent cold spell . In these circumstances a more effective way of keeping the cold that came from the front door and hall up the staircase would be welcome . Loved watching the sea in all its moods from the bay window . We've stayed in many different places in Alnmouth over the years but this is one of the best !

- Alison, December 2022
Robert November 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Jackson Cottage, it was very comfortable and extremely clean!”

Plenty of living space and ensuite for both bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and we even figured out the fancy oven! Alnmouth is well situated for walks and has a regular bus service to Alnwick and other East Coast towns if you wanted to spend the day out and not drive.

- Robert, November 2022
David October 2022

“Had a good stay.”

The cottage was well equipped but we would have appreciated more information about the fire, heating and other items, not just booklets provided with the items when purchased. We had to leave early as my wife was I’ll and we had no instructions for departure. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

- David, October 2022
Sonia October 2022

“We loved our stay in Jackson's Cottage.”

The place is cozy, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The kitchen has everything we needed, and the sitting area has lots of touches to make your stay pleasant, even on a rainy day (we luckily did not have). Our favourite spot though was the window seat, with its views of the sea. We'll be back!

- Sonia, October 2022
Jane September 2022

“A beautiful, well equipped cottage.”

I loved sitting in the bay window with my coffee early morning and watch the sea. Alnmouth is a lovely village. Parking can be a problem in the main street as the majority of the cottages located on the street do not have parking, however; we always got parked somewhere, so a minor downside and it wouldn't put me off booking the cottage again at all

- Jane, September 2022
Elizabeth July 2022

“The lack of any ventilation/windows in the back bedroom caused a dampish smell which was a shame since the new ensuite is beautiful.”

We had hoped to invite daughter for a few days but that room ,for us, was not inviting. The sofas too are beginning to sag. Bed in front bedroom very comfortable. The parking was also a big issue. Alnmouth isVERY busy with day trippers - with cars. Unless we had designated parking space, we would not be likely to stay there in future.

- Elizabeth, July 2022
Jane June 2022

“Wonderful house.”

Only piece of feedback is the house book didn't have much info about the property itself. And if we had been a party of 4 or 5 a second set of keys would have been helpful. Minor points, location is fab, parrking fine and house and Alnmouth was a joy.

- Jane, June 2022
James May 2022

“Lovely cottage (we have visited a number of times before).”

Very clean. Great facilities. Really quiet. Shops and nice pubs very close by. Fantastic for walking/exploring. Close to rail line so easy to visit Newcastle/Scotland. Nearby market town of Alnwick with great real ale pubs and the wonderful Borders Books Emporium. Highly recommended..

- James, May 2022
Christine April 2022

“Even better than it says in its advertisement.”

Top class in every way We were there the Easter weekend, so parking was the only problem. But maybe worth mentioning, there are parking restrictions anyway. Other than that small point, the whole experience was amazing.

- Christine, April 2022
Pamela March 2022

“Everything was perfect.”

The only problem we had was working out how to use the grill. Even with the instruction manual we didn’t manage. Maybe a dummies guide would be useful. A beautiful cottage with everything you need. Our third visit and we hope to come back.

- Pamela, March 2022
Geoffrey March 2022

“The cottage is beautiful clean & in a lovely location The view from the lounge was impressive.”

Our only disappointment was that although it was listed on the intinery there was no microwave.My Brother who visited last year said that they had one so why has it been removed ? Otherwise we had a really lovely stay in a very clean warm comfortable cottage & would definitely go again

- Geoffrey, March 2022
Rachel March 2022

“A lovely cottage, very comfortable and quiet, and everything you could need - except maybe a quick idiot's guide to the cooker?”

The official booklet was there, but incomprehensible as so often - life's too short, especially on a one-week holiday, to pore over technical instructions when all you want to do is turn the oven on to a 'normal' temperature! And maybe some teabags to make a cup off tea on arrival. And perhaps a quick explanation about parking restrictions. A super place, and Alnmouth is absolutely lovely.

- Rachel, March 2022
Alan February 2022

It was as expected an idyllic place for a break, long walks on the beaches, visiting castles and the local food (escpecially in Alnmouth is great) call out to Bistro 23 and WH on the main street, The cottage was great very spacuous, good kitchen and bedrooms and freat location

- Alan, February 2022
Diane January 2022

“Was even nicer than we expected and everything was of very good quality.”

We had everything we needed. The view from the dining room is a real bonus especially at sunrise. Also spotlessly clean.

- Diane, January 2022
Shena November 2021

“We appreciated all the refurbishment done during the pandemic.”

Please note that the bathroom fan tends to go on randomly e.g. During the night.

- Shena, November 2021
Jean October 2021

“A very well-appointed and comfortable cottage in a perfect spot on a street parallel to the beach, and just along from a range of places to eat, a local grocer and post office, and other small shops and cafes.”

A very short walk and you are on the lovely , unspoilt beach of Alnmouth. I have stayed in Jackson Cottage before, and will definitely use it again and recommend it to family and friends.

- Jean, October 2021
Philippa July 2021

“We would definitely stay at Jackson Cottage again.”

The cottage is very well equipped in both the living room and kitchen and the bed was very comfortable. This was by far the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We loved the upside down accommodation and and will certainly miss eating breakfast whilst gazing out of the bay window down to the sea. Finding a parking place was challenging each evening but at least we could use the bus stop directly outside to unload and load at the beginning and end of our stay.

- Philippa, July 2021
Jan July 2021

“The cottage is lovely - beautifully furnished, well equipped and very comfortable.”

We loved the fact that you get a sea view from the bay window and there is a wndow seat! As our stay was during covid restrictions, we were very confident with the arrangements in place for a safe stay. Parking can be difficult in Alnmouth and you need to be prepared to drive around looking for a parking space (which are free), but there is a very convenient bus stop outside the cottage for drop off/pick up purposes. If you are planning to eat out, especially in Alnmouth itself, I would strongly suggest booking at least a couple of weeks in advance, same for any places you might want to visit.

- Jan, July 2021
Al June 2021

“Just parking.”

- Al, June 2021
Adrian May 2021

“I think this is the fourth or fifth time we have stayed at Jacksons Cottage and each time has been an absolute delight.”

The property has always been very clean and well presented and since our last visit has had a new kitchen fitted which is great. Alnmouth its self is a lovely peaceful seaside village with excellent facilities, including a charming links golf course, and is an excellent base for discovering Northumberland.

- Adrian, May 2021
John April 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jackson Cottage.”

It's a lovely cottage and has everything you would want for a pleasant stay in Alnmouth.

- John, April 2021
Ralph October 2020

“A really good local deli just a couple of houses away, a cafe across the street, and the sea or river 100 yards away in 3 out of 4 directions - about an ideal a location as you can get.”

Plus the cottage is very comfortable, warm (we visited in November) and good light.

- Ralph, October 2020
Alexander September 2020

“This was our second stay at JACKSON COTTAGE, the first being in 2018.”

My wife and I were slightly anxious this time around, given the prevailing Covid-19 conditions, however, the owner put our minds at ease with all necessary precautions in place. We also appreciated the owner's guidance by way of a pre-arrival email along with an extensive list of local and not so local 'Places To Eat'. One final point; we had a spot of bother with a cracked toilet rim; however, the owner went above and beyond to have this replaced on the very same day, fantastic work. Hopefully, my wife and I will return to Jackson Cottage and Alnmouth in the not too distant future and in more settled times. Thank you for offering such superb accommodation. [Sandy & Margaret Weir]

“Lovely and warm on a freezing weekend.”

Very easy to access and very comfortable.

- Brenda, February 2020
Helen October 2019

“We contacted the owner with a query, shortly after arrival, and she was swift and helpful in her response.”

The cottage is delightful to stay in - we were two adult couples and it suited us perfectly - and its location couldn't be better. We would happily stay there again.

- Helen, October 2019
Roger Steven Frank September 2019

“We booked the cottage for the first time this time last year on recommendation from a friend.”

as a result we knew all about the first class facilities, which is why we were more than happy to book again this year. Everything about the cottage is first class. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room, excellent bathrooms, except the one bathroom has no shelves to store tooth brushes/soaps etc on. This however is a minor point given the excellence of the rest of cottage. The crowning glory is the upside down nature of the cottage, with the en-suite bedrooms being downstairs and the living room/kitchen upstairs, giving a lovely view of the sea. If we holidayed in the area again, we would certainly book again and would recommend it to our friends.

- Roger Steven Frank, September 2019
John April 2019

“Absolutely love Alnmouth , the cottage was brill , just what we needed, sitting by the balcony window over breakfast , we were blessed with good weather over the Easter week.”

- John, April 2019
Helen March 2019

“Jacksons Cottage provided us with the perfect base for a weekend get away.”

The cottage was clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The view to the sea from the bay window is beautiful and provides a great place to sit and watch the world go by. Alnmouth has a good mix of pubs and restaurants, and also good public transport links, we took a bus out to Warkworth and walked back along the coast path , stunning! Wish we had been able to stay longer, we really hope to return!

- Helen, March 2019
Julia December 2018

“Just spent 3 nights here with friends ,could not fault this cottage at all ,comfortable .”

Very clean, warm ,equipped with everything you could need ,in a central location with lovely views of the high street and sea ,so good we have booked for next year as well WOULD MOST DEFINATLEY RECOMMEND

- Julia, December 2018
Helen November 2018

“Parking nearby was difficult .”

Would be impossible at busy times of year.No toilet tissue provided very inconvenient,excuse the pun.

- Helen, November 2018
R October 2018

“Very well-equipped cottage in central location.”

Close to the beach and on the high street with a lovely view of the sea from the lounge windows.

- R, October 2018
Alexander October 2018

“Jackson Cottage is a rather quaint "upside down' house with 2 bedrooms on the ground floor and an open plan kitchen-lounge on the first floor.”

The cottage is surprisingly roomy, very comfortable and is well appointed with all the bits and pieces required for a home from home. From the seating in the bay-window one has great views of the street below and to Alnmouth beach beyond. Perhaps trivial to mention but it could be important to those with mobility issues; parking or more accurately the lack of a dedicated parking space could be a problem rather than a mere irritation for some people. This apart, we had a marvellous week at Jackson Cottage and it is a wonderful base for exploring the Northumbrian coast. Well recommended.

- Alexander, October 2018
Ann October 2018

“A comfortable, warm cottage right in the heart of the village, which is what we wanted, it was clean and provided most of what we required.”

Liked the upside down effect as lovely view from living room, although bedrooms were on the dark side. A little disappointed that there was no welcome pack, after a long journey a cup of tea is paramount, milk in the fridge but that was all, we also didn't find the hairdryer til the last day! But overall we had a great week and you get what you pay for!!

- Ann, October 2018
Pamela April 2018

“This cottage is one of the best self catering cottages we have ever stayed in.”

It has everything that one needs when on holiday. The attention to detail is second to none. We have stayed here before and I hope we will stay here again. The surrounding area is great for walking but also well served by local transport. The bus stops right outside the door and serves both North and South coastal towns. We visited Boulmer, Warkworth and Alnwick by foot and Craster and Amble by bus. Pubs in the village are welcoming and serve great food. Also they put on quiz nights. A great venue.

- Pamela, April 2018
David January 2018

“The location of the cottage provides good access to Alnmouth beach, which is enjoyable, scenic, to walk and take in the sea air.”

Being close to Alnwick and other tourists sites meant we could have a fun and variable holiday.

- David, January 2018
Christopher January 2018

“We love visiting Alnmouth, and try and plan a short break at least once a year.”

We have previously stayed in local B&B's and this is our first time self catering here. Jackson's Cottage is in a perfect location, with its sea views from the upstairs lounge, and its close proximity to local pubs and restaurants. The property is very well equipped, very clean and extremely comfortable - a true home from home (once you get used to going downstairs to bed!!)

- Christopher, January 2018
Ruth December 2017

“I stayed here with two friends over Christmas and we had a magical time.”

We were greeted by two pleasant surprises: first, that the cottage is more spacious and the decor less dated than the photos suggest (the sofas are plain beige now), and second, a Christmas tree. The village was a great place to spend Christmas: pretty (with great Christmas lights) and peaceful, but with some life to it: the beach was thronged with Boxing Day dog walkers and the shop and deli were open Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. We didn't have a car, so this was particularly welcome, as were the coastal walks on the doorstep and the good bus service along the coast and to Alnwick. I had a couple of niggles with Sykes but none with the cottage: we loved it, and hope to come back.

- Ruth, December 2017
Pamela April 2017

“Amazing location .”

So easy to get around by foot and public transport as we did not take the car. Beautiful village and friendly locals. We did a lot of walking and reached some wonderful destinations. Will definitely go back again.

- Pamela, April 2017
Barry March 2017

“A lovely cottage.”

Excellent value for money in a great part of the country. The info book in the cottage needs updating but that's a minor quibble.

- Barry, March 2017
Christine February 2017

“The heating boiler is situated in the living room and is so noisy.”

This is the second time that i have slept at this cottoage and it had the same proble about 14 months ago. It does get on your nerves

- Christine, February 2017
Tim September 2016

“A very comfortable cottage with a relaxing atmosphere and access to beautiful surroudings.”

. The bed was particularly comfortable. A good bus service meant there was no need to travel by car if you did not want to and the local beach was to die for. In all this cottage and its locality in Alnmouth had it all. If it was for sale we would buy it!!

- Tim, September 2016
Caroline May 2016

“A lovely cottage with a fantastic window seat with great views.”

The beds were comfortable and the showers were excellent. The children loved that it was upside down.

- Kim, November 2015
Irene September 2015

“Relaxation in an attractive little town, with unbeatable coastal and beach walks.”

There was plenty to see within an easy radius. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and with a good choice of local eateries.

- Irene, September 2015
Cynthia June 2015

“The position of the cottage is excellent for a site-seeing holiday in this area.”

There are plenty of good places to eat or take coffee within walking distance of the cottage. The first floor sitting/dining room is light and airy with good views towards the sea. It is a very pleasant room in which to relax.

- Cynthia, June 2015
Margaret May 2015

“A lovely, well equipped home in a good location.”

Jennifer March 2014

“Perfectly situated with a lovely view of the sea.”

Quirky with the bedrooms downstairs which I like. So close to great pubs and restaurants.

- Jennifer, March 2014
Linda February 2014

“The cottage was centrally situated in Alnmouth and the bay window had lovely views of the sea.”

Condition of the cottage was very good and we felt the sitting room and kitchen were roomy and comfortable. We would certainly recommend this place to family and friends.

- Linda, February 2014
Viv September 2013

“The cottage was lovely, and the view from the window across the Golf Course and Sea were delightful.”

Alnmouth is a lovely village, and everyone is friendly, a good base for travelling around.

- Viv, September 2013
Gillian August 2013

“We felt comfortable and at home as soon as we arrived.”

The beds in particular were the most comfortable we had ever slept in, which is where most rental properties fall down. Overall it was a definite 10 out of 10. Excellent, one to remember.

- Gillian, August 2013
Matthew June 2013

“Very well kept and presented property.”

Fantastic location, such close access to the beach and pubs.

- Matthew, June 2013
Angela May 2013

“The property has a brilliant location and is very well maintained.”

The owner is very friendly and helpful. Northumberland is a lovely county, very unspoilt.

- Angela, May 2013
Anne October 2012

“Alnmouth is a beautiful spot and the view from the sitting room window out over the golf course, beach and sea was wonderful.”

Walking along the beach on a sunny autumn day was lovely. A brilliant holiday.

- Anne, October 2012
Lynn September 2012

Can't wait to go back.

- Lynn, September 2012

- Paul, August 2012
Helen September 2011

“This is the second cottage we have stayed in belonging to Bilton Barns and they are of an exceptional high standard.”

Jackson Cottage was an ideal base for us to explore the local area and we will certainly be re-booking.

- Helen, September 2011
Eric September 2011

“The location was good and the view from the bay window to the sea was very nice.”

- Peter, August 2011
Kathy July 2011

“The cottage was comfortable, well equipped, centrally located and had splendid views.”

- Kathy, July 2011
Anne June 2011

“I like the view from the sitting room and the proximity of the cottage to the beach and places to eat.”

Also well positioned to visit both northern and southern stretches of the Northumbrian coast, as well as interesting places inland.

- Anne, June 2011
