9 Station Cottages

Beautiful well maintained and exceptionally clean cottage.

Lovely that the dogs are as welcome as the humans. Really thoughtful welcome goodies for both guests and dogs. So near to Bamburgh and the beach. Just a lovely place to stay.

First impressions on arrival are that the property is situated near an industrial area, a busy train crossing and roadside.

Upon entry, the property was pleasing and clean. A lovely touch of welcome goods including cake, bread, milk, tea, coffee and wine. There were no instructions provided on how to operate the cooker, so we had to work this out ourselves. There was also a parking display disc provided, however further information on its use and general information about the local area would have been helpful. The mattress in the main bedroom was not very comfortable. On the plus side, the property allowed easy access to most routes.

Excellent accommodation for family (2 adults 3 kids) - might book again in the summer if the price is right - Conveniently located for all the local beauty spots and beaches.

Note for the owners - Storm Dave hit when we were there which looks to have loosened some roof tiles that might need looking into. It didn't have any impact on our stay, cottage kept us warm and sheltered :-)

The cottage was lovely and we appreciated the welcoming pack.

The facilities were good. One small improvement would be to add a hand rail or hold at the top of the stair which would benefit someone not so steady on their feet. Very easy access to the beaches down the road.

We found the property easily and were happy when we arrived, it was warm and cosy with some welcome bits in the kitchen.

The cottage was clean and easy to be in with our family. The only down side was we struggled with the heating/boiler, it seemed to turn off the heating and switch to hot water only. Parking is difficult if you have more than one car, although it does say in the listing parking for one car. It is a dog friendly cottage (we don't have any dogs) and this is fine, but it did have a doggy smell (slightly, not very significant). Overall we were happy with our stay.

Another lovely few days in Northumberland, staying at 9 Station Cottage.

This is our 3rd stay at this cosy place. Never fails to disappoint - everything you need, with some great little touches to enhance our ( and our Doggies) stay. As always , would recommend this place to stay. And just to add, the curtains are absolutely fantastic

This cottage is a lovely, relaxing base for exploring the coast, castles and towns of Northumbria.

We slept really well and loved the comfortable lounge and modern kitchen diner. Everything is tasteful, clean and quite modern, while maintaining the character of a large, older cottage. We didn’t bring a dog but it is really dog-friendly. The welcome gifts were greatly appreciated.

An amazing cottage, very comfortable and has everything you need.

The little touches that the owner does made it special. We would love to come back if in the area again.

Excellent stay with the property well located.

House very clean, tidy and felt vey much at ‘home’. Also very dog friendly which was great. Certainly recommend.

Really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, everything you need and very relaxing.

We had a wonderful stay.

The cottage was lovely and very clean. The owners have thought of everything including lovely welcome items of bread, milk, tea, coffee and a lovely delicious cake. The best of all was that they provided dog blankets in all the rooms and had left dog treats. If you’re a dog person your dog is part of the family and the owners understand this!!! This is by far the best cottage we have stayed in and would highly recommend.

Lovely place very clean and some great touches as with the milk etc that was supplied.

The bed in the main bedroom is very uncomfortable and the slightest move it squeaks. We also felt there was maybe too much storage in the bedrooms and it took up much of the space in what were small rooms anyway.

Adorable cottage, lots of space and very clean.

Has everything you need and more extra touches . Close to everywhere we wanted to visit. Downside was the bed as a few others had mentioned, uncomfortable and broken spring, didn't get a good sleep . Apart from that great place with enclosed garden for the dog & spare blankets for them to feel on their holidays too

Lovely well equipped and comfortable property.

We loved the extremely dog friendly vibe with every canine need catered for. Well positioned to explore the area’s beautiful beaches and stunning scenery. Double beds a bit on the small side and master bed frame a bit squeaky. Towels lovely size and very soft. First time staying in Northumberland will definitely be back.

This was a lovely house which has been renovated and decorated to a high standard.

Had everything we needed and was in a good position to visit the beaches in the area or inland to the Cheviot hills. The enclosed garden is good when you have a dog. I do think the Sykes listing should inform you the cottage is very close to the railway line, but having said this, they didn't bother us and we enjoyed watching them go past. I would stay here again.

The house was lovely and clean but the bed in the main bedroom was horrible.

Mattress was lumpy and the bed frame needs sorting. The house is in a nice spot and good for getting around. Only down side is the main train line is only 20 meters away from the house so trains are flying pass all day and all night. Not quite so peaceful.

We had a great time at the cottage.

There were four of us and a dog and felt like we had plenty of space. Good location to get to both beach walks and walks inland. Nice welcome pack provided and cottage was clean and warm on arrival. We would definitely like to stay at the cottage again in the future.

A lovely week in railway cottages everything was lovely.

Location was good loved seeing the trains pass by hence why it’s called railway cottage it’s a busy line but it didn’t bother us at all . Cottage was spotless and owners dealt with a heating issue straight away . Will definitely be back

House was nice & clean & warm when we arrived, but confusing as to where the parking was.

We went out & came back later no heating on tried to turn on as per guidance but it would not work. Got a text the next morning asking if we arrived ok & said the cleaner had said about a problem with the heating had been reported by previous guest.. we contacted the owner later as the heating was still not working, was given some instructions but they did not work, was told they would try & look into it heard nothing else. Still no heating on following day. Decided to come home early house too cold. Messaged owner that we had left & heating needed looking at properly. House well furnished just a pity about the heating problem.

The cottage as a place to stay should have been perfect!

The cottage was very nice even though we had some issues with the heating which David the owner helped with and resolved it between us. There was two issues both of which were location related, the main issue was the very close proximity of the northeast main train line which is very busy and very noisy, until past 11pm and woke us all up far too early in the morning. The other issue was that it was close to an industrial estate with very large grain silo’s. As I have already stated the cottage was lovely but just a shame about the two issues above. As far as I can see these issues should have been highlighted by Sykes before we booked this cottage

Just returned from our second stay at the cottage.

Had a problem with the kettle not working properly but a quick text to the owner and a new one was delivered the next morning. The cottage location is great for visiting all the sights etc would highly recommend staying here. The owners have thought of everything you might need a nice welcome pack for us and the dogs, blankets for the dogs. Nice garden with plenty of seating, which is enclosed and safe for the dogs with open fields at the back, off street parking for your car. The trains run all day but didn’t bother us. Will be back again soon!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at 9 Station Cottage.

Inside was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We were blessed with excellent weather and made the most of the rear garden. It is perfectly situated for visiting the surrounding area. There is noise from the passing trains, but this never disturbed us at night. All in all definitely one to book again.

One word fabulous .

Lovely cottage.

Very clean and nicely furnished. Well placed for places to go and see. Although near the train line it really wasn’t an issue and I quite liked them. Would stay there again

Lovely comfortable cottage, very dog friendly with a good secure garden.

Ideal location for all the places we wanted to visit.

The cottage was lovely.

Tastefully decorated and well equipped. Well enclosed back garden. It was lovely to have welcoming gifts including cake, wine, milk and bread on arrival as the first thing I always want after driving a long way is a cuppa! We met the owner on arrival as he was working next door and as the weather had turned a bit cold he turned the heating up for us, on an App I think. Good job because I'm a bit rubbish at other's heating controls and couldn't work it out in the boiler cupboard. We just turned the radiators off manually at night. The railway line wasn't a problem for any of us, having been brought up next to one, in fact it was quite interesting, especially on the Sunday when there was a steam train. The only little issue I had was before we went I couldn't find mention of a washing machine and emailed Sykes to ask if there was one and the reply was as it wasn't listed or mentioned there wasn't one. When we got there, having taken extra clothing on this understanding I found there was. But maybe Sykes could have contacted the owner before they said there wasn't one? No matter, we had a great time, we felt at home and would definitely book this cottage in the future. Oh must say, the beds and pillows were very comfortable. Some cottages charge extra for dogs but I've found they don't make it clear how many they allow or the charge for a dog/dogs before you book. No extra charge here. So I would recommend: clean, modern, warm and comfortable. Thank you.

We have stayed in cottages on numerous occasions and always had gripes with facilities, cleanliness etc However this has changed with Station Cottage.

It was simply perfect. Spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, comfortable, everything we needed for a fantastic few days. Yes there is a main line train track next to the property but we loved watching the trains fly past. The location - one minute off the A1 is perfect for getting around this beautiful part of the world. The key when I review anything is would we go back. Simply we would go back tomorrow without a second thought. Karen the owner was attentive when we needed information and guidance. We can’t wait to come back and thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful property

About to rebook again

The cottage is beautifully decorated and location to the sights is perfect the only thing that might let it down is it’s proximity to the very busy train line and there is no mention of this in the details if you are a light sleeper you might want to take some ear plugs as the trains run from 5am (fortunately we aren’t) we would stay here again without hesitation.

The owner has thought of everything we might’ve needed and then some

Lovely dog friendly cottage, close to all the attractions.

Nice and clean, tastefully decorated, and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

This is a fabulous cottage, beautifully decorated and really comfortable , everyrhing you would ever need for a great holiday and in a good location to be able to visit Northumberland's stunning countryside and beaches, highly recommended

Just want to note the light fitting over the bed in the middle room is broken.

Also one of the kitchen stools is wobbly and potentially dangerous. Neither were significant issues for us but don't want to get the blame and the stool is an H&S concern. Otherwise all good. Trains quite loud but it was cold so kept the windows closed. Very clean, well equipped and great location.

An amazing stay and have already recommended!

The cottage was true to the listing and very dog friendly most place say dog friendly but do not allow the dog on the furniture where as here they did with the furniture covered, he settled so well with been allowed to sit with us. The dog section in the kitchen was a lovely touch and I loved all the blankets scattered around the cottage. The welcome gifts for the humans was a lovely touch also. The enclosed garden was a lovely size and the garden furniture was perfect

We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely cottage.

It was beautifully presented. A very nice complementary food/drink package was there when we arrived. Beautiful views from the garden made it even better. When we had one small problem, Karen contacted us immediately. We will certainly recommend this cottage.

Outstanding re booked for October halfway through our stay there

Another great stay at 9 Station Cottages.

Clean and bright, with everything you need for a great holiday. Credit to David and Karen for making this place very homely. Perfect location also for dog walking, being close to Bamburgh and Seahouses, where the beaches are lovely and the sea water clean. We’d highly recommend this cottage for your stay in Northumberland. We’ll definitely be booking again.

Lovely relaxing stay in beautiful cottage gorgeous views.

Amazing area to visit everything

Excellent cottage.

Cleanliness was fantastic and everything exceeded our expectations. Only slight caveat is that we couldn’t seem to get the shower to the right temperature! Other than that, it was just brilliant and we are already looking to book again in approximately 6 weeks time. Thanks
