“Perfect holiday cottage.”

Great location. Very comfortable. Internet bit intermittent but that was probably the trains. This was our 2nd time of visiting would certainly go again and recommend to others.

“Lovely cottage in a great location to explore Northumberland.”

This was my second stay and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. The cottage has everything you need, was nice and clean and, although not used, the ready to light fires were a nice touch. The only minor niggle was no pint glasses, plenty of wine and smaller glasses but it would have been nice to enjoy a relaxing pint watching the sun set.

“Lovely stay but we had a few issues.”

We have a 4yr old who often wakes in the night and will come to our room, which was anxiety provoking in this cottage due to the stairs (master bedroom comes directly off staircase - hard to describe). Reading people had fallen down the stairs didn’t help. I think this should have been mentioned in the description. Fixing a stair gate was difficult and only possible below the problem steps. We’ve never stayed at a cottage before that didn’t provide basics such as sugar, salt and pepper, cooking oil or a welcome pack. There was an opened, unsealed milk left in the fridge which we didn’t use as wasn’t sure if this was left for us or not. We were cold. The heating system was set to a max of 15 meaning we constantly had to turn the temperature up and boost the radiators. Being left only 2 firelighters seemed stingy. If a guest had 2 vehicles you would struggle to park as there is no roadside parking. We didn’t find the train an issue and soon got use to the noise and vibrations.

“Well equipped property, convenient location, very comfortable, lovely ...”

Well equipped property, convenient location, very comfortable, lovely decoration, great for dogs, Belford village in walking distance, 3 pubs, railway line very close to the property,

“Fabulous cottage to stay in to explore the North East.”

Very modern, clean and comfortable providing everything needed for a relaxing break. The passing trains were not a problem and we quickly got used to them hurtling past. Lovely large back garden for us and our dog to relax in….it would have helped if there was a wooden gate to fully enclose the back garden for the safety of our dog and to allow us to leave her unattended.

- Michael, September 2023
Alan August 2023

“We had a great week at Canny Cottage, it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.”

It was a great base for exploring the Northumberland area. It was disappointing that we had to start the week by a visit to the shop to buy basics such as soap and tea bags. We were also frustrated by the very, very slow Wi-fi in the cottage. However, despite these small issues we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

- Alan, August 2023

We thank you for your comments and as always appreciate all feedback positive and negative. It allows us to keep up to speed on guests expectations and make necessary improvements wherever possible.Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay over all but sorry you felt the welcome pack of tea & coffee wasn’t suffice. Regarding the wifi: As the property is in a semi rural location it can be a little temperamental at times but overall it is generally up to speed. Thanks again for your comments. Property Owner
Paula August 2023

“The cottage was in a great location for visiting Northumbria.”

Perfect for visiting Bamburgh castle, Seahouses, Alnwick etc. The cottage has plenty of space to relax and enjoy or just sit in the garden. Overall I had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this cottage to anyone visiting Northumbria and it's amazing coastline.

- Paula, August 2023
Alex May 2023

“Lovely cottage that had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.”

Although the trains could be quite loud with the windows open, we soon got used to it. Close to Bamburgh, and Belford village just a mile away with a Co-op and nice chip shop. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

- Alex, May 2023
Caitlin April 2023

“Lovely property and the cottage was so clean!”

! The trainlines were no problem at all and soon became white noise but a lovely distraction for my daughter to watch! Only thing that would have improved the stay for us would have been access to a high chair, fire guard for the fire /baby gate for our young child. We had slight issue with parking as was unaware of how many spaces allowed but once all other cottage stayers moved their cars up slightly we all fit. Lovely area, clean, comfortable and homely! Would stay again!

- Caitlin, April 2023
Angela April 2023

“Excellent location for all Northumberland's beauty spots.”

Great for walking humans and dogs. Only 2 hours drive from Falkirk, Kelpies and Wheel if you want to be more adventurous. Craster for kippers a must.

- Angela, April 2023
Wendy March 2023

“We had an absolutely amazing stay.”

We found the cottage to be delightful with everything we needed and very dog friendly. Throughout our stay we visited Bamburgh, Alnwick, Holy Island, Seahouses and had wonderful walks with the dogs in the fresh air. This was just what we needed to get away from our stressful jobs. Although the cottage is very dog friendly we found the adjoing neighbour not to be. We arrived late in the evening around 8pm and the dogs where excited when we got there after a 5 hour drive (as you can imagine they were excited) our dogs are well-behaved but because excited they did bark a little when exploring their new home and to our amazement the neighbour banged on the walls and put very loud music on. Although we are sorry for the dogs barking, all dogs bark to some extent, unfortunately this put me on edge for the rest of our stay in case they did bark again. Also please accept our apologises but we forgot to empty the fridge, we remembered half way home, so sorry. On the whole though we had a lovely stay.

- Wendy, March 2023
Christopher March 2023

“Lovely warm inviting cottage in a great location with easy access to the coast or A1 for further away.”

The train noise faded into the background quite quickly. Nice secure garden for the pooch, he enjoyed watching the birds at the feeder next next door.

- Christopher, March 2023
Martin January 2023

“We love the cottage as we been 3 times now Feel the shower now needs up date ing as very slow and not very hot as I would like it Although it was cold when we stayed this time we had to keep topping heating up all time and log burner on ever night maybe turn heating up in January?”

Other that that great place to stop Make sure you park in your bay as the old lad next door be on ya case although he was in the cottage parking bay when we turn up !!

- Martin, January 2023
Nikki December 2022

“Lovely cottage, perfect for our pre Christmas get away.”

The log burner was just what we needed for a cosy end to the day. Great location and the trains become white noise quite quickly

- Nikki, December 2022
Michelle October 2022

“Spotless, comfortable cottage.”

Modern interior which still maintains a lovely cottage feel. Loved the wood burner, which we used every night. Hubby had issue with the train noise, however I did not. 5 min drive from Bamburgh and Seahouses. Also ideally located for Alnwick. Well equipped kitchen and bathrooms. We visited in October, it was an ideal base for exploring windswept Northumberland beaches during the day, returning to a home cooked meal, roaring fire and comfy bed in the evening. Loved it here

- Michelle, October 2022
Brian September 2022

“I only gave 6 for recommending because of a bad experience in the past.”

A grab handle in the shower would be good. Apart from that excellent. The property was very well furnished and decorated.

- Brian, September 2022
Andy September 2022

“Canny Cottage is a well equiped and located cottage.”

It had plenty of space and was great for people wanting an activity holiday. If you like railways it is also well located. The cottage is very well decorated and has great links in all directions. We just loved our week at CC. We stay in Northumberland twice a year and CC is up there with the very very best of the places we have stayed at. We were sad to leave but we know what a fantastic cottage CC is and would like yo return. Thank you.

- Andy, September 2022
Christine September 2022

“We had a lovely relaxing stay.”

Cottage was just what we needed, so comfortable. Great position for lots of seaside walks. Husband in his element - he could have watched the trains go by all day!!

- Christine, September 2022
Gary August 2022

“Canny Cottage is a wonderful place to stay.”

It is in a very good location, ideal for visiting all the local places of interest, they are all within easy distance. Canny Cottage is beautifully designed and decorated, the cottage is a real joy, we will definitely be staying here again.

- Gary, August 2022
Susan August 2022

“EXPENSIVE. Although this cottage is lovely and we enjoyed our stay, I think £1019 rent was extortionate even in peak season August 2022 when we stayed.”

This year for the equivalent week it's on offer for less than £800. Maybe I booked way too early, however I think if you can get this for a reasonable price you'd love it. Garden so peaceful even with the trains passing.

- Susan, August 2022
Shonagh July 2022

“Fantastic wee cottage.”

It was so well furnished and equipped and an ideal base to explore north Northumberland. I was concerned about being beside the level crossing but the trains added an extra level of interest. Would love to go back.

- Shonagh, July 2022
Anthony July 2022

“Very happy with the property.”

Spotlessly clean and obviously recently renovated. Everything as described although the trains take a bit of getting used to. Really pleasant to sit out on the bench in the front garden in the evening overlooking the fields with a book and a drink.

- Anthony, July 2022
Wayne Peter July 2022

“I loved it, perfect for a holiday with two dogs.”

The cottage has everything you need, I can’t fault it and I would definitely stay again, mainly the location, central to Seahouses, Bamburgh, Lindisfarne and not far from Berwick. There was the obvious none-stop rail traffic near by but we had a good nights sleep every night so no issue there. My only suggestion which has no bearing on the cottage is that may be a mirror could be erected on the road when pulling out of the shared drive because your view is obscured by the railway crossing fencing.

- Wayne Peter, July 2022
Donna June 2022

“We had a very comfortable week in Canny Cottage.”

Great for the 2 of us with our 2 spaniels. The cottage is clean, spacious and modern. Location was very good in terms of reaching other places but the railway line was louder than we expected but we do live in a very quiet rural area. Northumberland was a great destination to explore.

- Donna, June 2022
Lyndsey May 2022

“One of the best cottages we’ve stayed in.”

Very well located to visit many of the wonderful Northumberland sights. I do think the proximity of the railway line should perhaps be emphasised as should the frequency of the trains. That said, it didn’t bother us, in fact it was rather a novelty and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

- Lyndsey, May 2022
Melanie May 2022

“Canny cottage was the perfect place to stay, It had everything you need to be Home from Home, very cosy and well Equipped, there was nothing that you didn’t have there.”

A great place to explore Northumbria, very close to all beaches and major Historical Attractions. We would definitely stay again If we return to Northumbria. Melanie & David.

- Melanie, May 2022
Cathy April 2022

“The property was beautiful, clean,.”

And comfortable and we'll equipped the only things that were a slight issue but could be really quickly rectified was there was no mirror in the back bedroom to use when drying hair and the door in the back bedroom didn't fit the door frame so it wouldn't close properly.

- Cathy, April 2022

All feedback is much appreciated and taken onboard, both issues have now been rectified (mirror fitted and door planed). Many thanks for bringing this to our attention. Property Owner
Emily April 2022

“The cottage was wonderful!”

So well done and lovely touches to make it feel really homely. The location was great for visiting all the towns around Northumberland. When we arrived we realised just how close the train line was to the cottage, however it honestly wasn’t an issue and you almost become used to the sound of the trains going past! All in all, a really great stay and we will definitely be coming back.

- Emily, April 2022
Anita March 2022

“The cottage is beautiful with everything you could possibly need.”

The wood burner provides that extra coziness for those colder nights. Location is perfect as it is central to all the places to visit in the area. The beaches around are some of the best, with Ross Sands truly stunning.Enjoyed every minute of our stay and our two little dogs did too!

- Anita, March 2022
Julie February 2022

“Impeccable”

- Julie, February 2022
Sharon February 2022

“Thé cottage was lovely.”

Clean and welcoming. The radiator in the living room didn’t seem to come on when needed in evening. And the bedroom one was blasting out the heat unnecessarily. We were asked not to adjust the heating so we didn’t but we weren’t always comfortable. On a negative note I felt bombarded by emails and texts reminding me what to do on day of check out. Please don’t do this. We were only there 3 nights and really didn’t need to be reminded what to do on the day of departure. And only one bedside table and lamp seemed a bit mean. But we did like the cottage and enjoyed our stay

- Sharon, February 2022
David January 2022

“Exceptional cottage, maintained to a high standard.”

- David, January 2022
Dorothy October 2021

“Beautiful cottage, clean, comfortable and cosy.”

Fully equipped and very dog friendly. Ideal location for exploring the stunning coast and countryside. Although it was clear from the description that it was right by the level crossing previous comments said this was not an issue. It wasn't for my friend but I am afraid it was for me and even with earplugs I was woken very early every day by the very regular trains.

- Dorothy, October 2021
Geoffrey September 2021

“Fantastic holiday cottage and very enjoyable holiday”

Mike August 2021

“A delightful cottage with close proximity to Bamburgh and the wonderful beaches.”

Ryan July 2021

“Fab time at Canny Cottage, would stay again and again and again as the location was fine and the train didn't bother us at all.”

The only complaint I have is that the bed was too firm, which I appreciate is down to personal preference,

- Ryan, July 2021
Maria July 2021

“We enjoyed our stay at Canny Cottage, so lovely to arrive at accommodation, and it exceeds our expectations.”

Images does not do it justice.

- Maria, July 2021
Virginia June 2021

“We had a lovely week in Canny Cottage which was very clean and comfortable.”

Yes the trains whiz by throughout the day but you really do get accustomed to them. A great location for exploring Northumbria.

- Virginia, June 2021
Andrew May 2021

“Lovely well appointed cottage with tasteful decor and with everything you could ask for and deceptively spacious too.”

Added bonus of downstairs wc in the utility room. Great views to the front and rear and in a fantastic location for exploring Northumberland. Some noise from the nearby railway but that didn't bother us. Really enjoyed our week here.

- Andrew, May 2021
George May 2021

“Myself my hubby and dog Jett spent a week in Canny Cottage and what a beautiful cottage it is, done to a high spec, clean and everything you need away from home.”

The cottage is located within easy reach of exploring the Northumberland coast and we certainly done that in a week and the weather was kind to us too. You can walk or drive into Belford for the local shops. A must do walk is up to St Cuthbert’s Cave we also walked up over the the top of the hill and the views from the top are amazing. We will definitely be back to Canny Cottage.

- George, May 2021
D C April 2021

“We love this cottage & have stayed there a couple of times before.”

It was just as good as the other times & we would certainly book the same cottage again. Its beautifully maintained & obviously loved by the owners as well as their guests. Lovely location with every need catered for. Thank you

- D C, April 2021
Sandra April 2021

Exceptionally clean. Owners very friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely stay again.

- Sandra, April 2021
Michelle October 2020

“A beautiful cottage!”

Tastefully appointed and with everything you could possibly need in it. Really central location for getting out and about around Northumberland. Yes, the main rail line to Scotland runs very close to it but the sound of the trains didn’t bother me. Will happily book to stay there again.

- Michelle, October 2020
Laura October 2020

“We absolutely loved the cottage, it was perfect & exactly how we had expected it to be.”

Ideally located for everywhere we wanted to be. The only downfall was the noise of the railway

- Laura, October 2020
Martyn September 2020

- Karen, November 2019
Susan November 2019

“Canny Cottage was just what we required for our walking holiday with the dog.”

There was nothing missing in the cottage apart from mirror over sink in bathroom, husband had issues with shaving. We loved the cottage especially the wood burner which was so nice on the cold windy raining evenings. Owners responded very quickly when we had issue with WiFi. Great place.

- Susan, November 2019
Russell October 2019

“Fantastic 3 night stay at canny cottage .”

- Russell, October 2019
Craig October 2019

“Lovely cottage with nice touches, loved the wood fire!”

- Craig, October 2019
Nicola September 2019

“Canny Cottage was absolutely wonderful.”

Owners clearly take huge pride in the way it has been presented and was cosy and very comfortable. We loved it. Ideally positioned for getting to some amazing beaches and being mid way between Alnwick and Berwick worked very well for us. Yes, its close to the train line but they go past so quickly you hardly notice them and they certainly didn't detract from our enjoyment. Would love to come back. With regards to Sykes the communication could have been clearer about key information (you should say that owner will contact you) and the stated arrival time differs to the owners details. Can't understand the predominance of Friday start dates - you are effectively having to travel on really busy days (significantly less lorries on roads on weekends as well as no commuters) plus you need to take 6 days annual leave for a weeks holiday.

- Nicola, September 2019
Ian August 2019

“Owners were very responsive and friendly allowed us to get in 2.”

5 hours early. Comfy cottage close to all locations in the area. Hot water system is a little poor. No bins in the bathrooms, no mirror over hand wash basin. No hair dryers. No cleaning products except wipes. If you're a light sleeper you will get woken by the trains at 5.30 am but you get used to it. Overall we had a great stay

- Ian, August 2019

We thank you and appreciate your recent feedback and all points have been taken on board. Due to the rural location of the property hot water systems are via electric boilers and appreciate they may not be as powerful as gas supplied boilers. Bins have now been provided to both bathrooms and although there is no mirror directly over the hand basin there is a large mirror directly behind you (small mirror for shaving etc to be fitted in due course). Hair dryers are stored in the wardrobe to main bedroom. As the property is let on a self catering basis only a basic cleaning pack is supplied containing dishwasher tablets, dishcloths, tea-towels and a kitchen roll. Along with a supply of tea's, coffee's and biscuits for your arrival. With regards to the trains, this is clearly stated in the property listing and although upon arrival they are noticeable but you very quickly get used to them (my personal opinion). Again we much appreciate all feedback as it helps us improve and deliver the best experience possible to all clients and are pleased you enjoyed your stay overall. Best Regards, Jason Property Owner
Paul August 2019

“The cottage is in a brilliant location to explore the beauty of Northumberland.”

We had a great time and the rooms were larger than expected. We would definitely stay again.

- Paul, August 2019
Maxine July 2019

It’s in a great location and the cottage is beautiful. We would definitely book this cottage again.

- Maxine, July 2019
Andrew July 2019

“This is a lovely cottage that is extremely well furnished and spacious.”

There is lots to see in do in this part of the country and this cottage is an ideal base with easy access to the A1 and the coast.

- Andrew, July 2019
Sarah May 2019

“A comfortable, clean and surprisingly spacious cottage in a great location for exploring Northumberland.”

A couple of things we'd like to mention though. The description of the cottage said there were books, DVDs and games but there were none except one game of connect 4. It also said all fuel was included but failed to mention wood for the stove was charged at £5.00 a bag. Lastly, we absolutely appreciate that nothing but toilet paper should be flushed away in the toilet but a bin in the bathroom would be helpful rather than having to carry female hygiene items and the like downstairs to the kitchen bin. Sorry to complain. We had a really lovely week and would recommend this place highly but felt feedback should be honest.

- Sarah, May 2019
Gill April 2019

“Lovely cottage.”

Spotlessly clean. Very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

- Gill, April 2019
Lynne April 2019

“The cottage was really lovely.”

Very clean and tastefully decorated. We were very comfortable and found the location perfect for the visits we had planned in the area. The cottage is next to a very busy railway line which might not please everyone. However, we were out most of the days we stayed so didn't really spoil our stay once you got used to the trains.

- Lynne, April 2019
Joanne April 2019

“This was our 2nd visit to canny cottage!”

!! And again,we wasnt disappointed, such a gorgeous cottage,from kitchen to bedrooms!!! The whole place is just perfect, a credit to the owners.100% all the way!!!

- Joanne, April 2019
Andrea March 2019

“The advert mentioned the cottage was near the railway lines and that you could hear the trains - and we actually enjoyed listening out for them.”

We were however a bit disappointed that the very 'ugly' huge grain store facility next door was omitted from the description and the photograph. The cottage was beautiful inside and very cozy.

- Andrea, March 2019

Thank you for your comments, the owner was disappointment to hear your comments regarding the grain storage facility. This is not mentioned in the description due to it being some distance away, beyond tall trees and not next door. It can be seen from the rear bedroom window but have never been a cause for concern nor caused any disruption. We hope you enjoyed the rest of you stay and hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
David February 2019

“The cottage is beautiful with everything you need to stay for a holiday, in a prime position for Bamburgh and the beautiful beach and coastline which we love .”

Log burner is small , we took our own wood and a lot didn’t fit in it , but it warmed the room up lovely, everything else inside was high quality Only one draw back , the trains ! They are very regular and you can here them in the cottage , especially early morning 5am onwards . Also there is a small railway dept there and when we stopped they were working nights and we could here them , we thought we were being burgled first night

- David, February 2019
Tina October 2018

It was really cosy and close to excellent dog friendly beaches. We hope to stay again next year.

- Tina, October 2018
Carole September 2018

“Lovely cottage ideal location for exploring the area.”

We used to visit the area often we used to live in the North East so very familiar with the area, so the property was located close to the beach and also to the Northumbrian countryside. As holiday cottage owners ourselves we know what is important for visitors and I would say that this cottage was very comfortable and met expectations. The views are lovely from both front and back windows. Very comfortable and spacious for 4 adults. There was only two of us and two dogs who settled in very quickly. Thank you to the owns for ticking lots of boxes.

- Carole, September 2018
Karen August 2018

“Canny cottage was lovely and had everything we needed.”

Very clean spacious and comfortable. Even the dogs settled and they like to be at home usually. My only little gripe was the trains passing, I knew we were near a railway line but just didn't realise how near. This was fine except for early in the morning.

- Karen, August 2018
