1A Chantry Place

The location is excellent - really couldn’t fault it and Morpeth is lovely.

However: There is nowhere to put things in the bathroom - so you will need to take your toiletries to and from your bedroom. The shower has got a non slip mat, which is in desperate need of a clean. We had black mould in the ridges. Not sure why there was gaffer tape covering the bottom of the shower controls. The twin bedroom has two beds, but only one was made up, which was handy as the space was tight, so I was able to collapse the camp bed to give me more space in which to manoeuvre. There is only a bedside table for your clothes or a hanging rail with plastic hangers you get free from shops. The mirrors in the room would be good for a baby crawling on the floor or for a seven foot giant. Nothing in between. Pillows are in need of changing - they were lumpy and stained in all the bedrooms. The two double bedrooms are well kitted out, but a shame about the plastic hangers. Take slippers with you as you are encouraged not to wear shoes in the house and it is tile and laminate which is cold with just socks. Couldn’t use the oven gloves as they were beyond dirty. Only one tea towel provided so getting things out of the oven was tricky. Couldn’t find the manual for the oven, either. The photos need updating as they don’t reflect the presentation in reality. The towels, however, were super fluffy which was nice.

Excellent accommodation, very well-equipped, spacious and in a great location.

Communication with the owner was excellent. We really felt at home here and would be happy to come back again.

Steve the owner was very very helpful.

The property was superb. The location was superb too.

A great location within Morpeth, which is itself in a great position for exploring Northumberland.

Everything locally was within easy walking distance, we didn't even need to drive to go to the supermarket. It's a shame there's only one bathroom, and the second bed in the twin room is a, not hugely stable, camp-bed. However, the other bedrooms are huge, and the kitchen and livingroom are lovely rooms to spend time in.

We found the accommodation basic but adequate.

On the plus side we found the beds comfortable and the place was clean and tidy. It's in a great location and the parking was convenient, although the shop premises next door was being fitted out during our stay which meant the main parking space was occupied by the builders' van when we returned from days out. On the minus side almost all the pans and baking trays in the kitchen were burned out and didn't look safe to use. We found the wet-room style shower and bathroom treacherously slippy and the lack of an extractor fan in the bathroom meant that the place always felt damp. It did the job but I don't think we'd go back.

Lovely property, excellent location more spacious than expected.

Couple of downfalls only 1 toilet and property accommodates 6 people. Tiles in bathroom when showering are extremely slippery could do with non slip tiles fitting near shower. There is no door on shower the water seems to go all over and runs to area where toilet is, no where to put toiletries when in shower and no extractor fan so everything is steamed up and wet through all the time. Control outside bathroom and kitchen were extremely loose on walls, few touch up areas of paint needed. Was a little disappointed that the bath was broken but owner did message me to inform me of this. Lots of space to hang clothes, bedrooms nice and beds comfortable. We would stay here again.

Great property in excellent location!

Great facilities and very comfortable.

This is a lovely house so close to the centre of Morpeth but right on the footbridge taking you to the beautiful parks and riverside walks.

Shopping and eating out in Morpeth were excellent with plenty of options. The house is very nicely decorated and has everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

This prooerty is in a great location, Morpeth is a lovely little town!

The cottage was clean and reasonably well equipped but was very cold and the back up gas fire in the lounge was not working. Tv in bedroom was out of action, apparently the digibox had been stolen by previous tenants. Bathroom needs a shelf within the shower unit for soap, shampoo etc. It would also benefit from a safety rail too... There were a couple of electrical issues - turning on the oven tripped a fuse on the ground floor, as did turning on the hall light, this also shattered the light bulb. We enjoyed our stay, the location and area is great - however, in comparison to other Sykes properties it did feel a little unloved!

The location is brilliant as you are right in the centre, my team had a lovely stay.

The Lollo Rosso restaurant which is a five minute walk away was great! Thank you and we will hopefully use again when back in the area!

Outstanding accommodation for my family and amazing communication from the hosts.

Will be back in the future absolutely no question.

This is a lovely spacious, comfortable property.

Fabulous location with great parking and Morpeth is a great base for a few days. Friendly re-arrival comms from the owner. Only disappointment was in the details. The properly was very clean and beds were great however one bedroom was not made up for us (managed to sort this) and there were no basics which you normally get - washing up liquid, dish sponge, dishwasher tablet, hand soap etc. easily brought from home if you know but required a quick dash to the shops. However would happily stay here again.

On the positive, the location is excellent.

The parking space is ideal. The bed in the main bedroom is one of the most comfortable I've used. Shower is truely amazing- if you don't mind the mirror! However, the property is lacking what I would deem 'the basics'. No cleaning products: washing up liquid, dishcloth, kitchen roll teabags, only a few pumps of handwash etc etc. The advert doesn't claim to stock these however. Prepare to take everything. Also, a few oversights: broken glass in the cupboard, dirty cutlery in drawer, broken light bulb in lamp. The owner did send friendly emails prior to arrival and the entry arrangements were clear. Would stay again, but would be better prepared.

A lovely cottage in the centre of Morpeth , minutes from bus station, supermarkets, local shops & cafes.

Very clean with lovely towels & linen. Loads of crockery & utensils. Clear instructions for operation of TV & wifi etc. The owner's messages were friendly, prompt & offering help but we didn't have any problems. A lovely, relaxing week. Thank you.

This is a great place to stay, we were 3 friends just chilling for the weekend and that’s exactly what we did at 1A Chantry Place.

The cottage is very comfortable, huge bathroom with separate shower cubicle. We were more than happy with the 3 bedrooms. We had to message Steve the owner as we couldn’t quite work the tv, he called at the cottage and showed us what to do! Morpeth is a busy little town with everything you could need on the doorstep. Having the 2 parking spaces outside the cottage was brilliant. We would happily come back to the cottage.

This was a very home from home cottage which was ideal for our needs.

We loved the location and there are some excellent restaurants nearby. I think we would probably book again as it’s a great North East base and very reasonably priced too.

A lovely cottage in a very convenient location.

The owner also made contact in advance of the booking to ensure we had key details.

This cottage is in a fantastic location and we really liked the town of Morpeth and the Northeast.

Despite being in the town it is quiet and secluded. The cottage is really nice and generally spacious but the kitchen and dining table would be a bit tight for 6. The cooker / oven / fridge / microwave all worked fine but we agree with other comments that there is not an over abundance of utensils. Also no bin bags, washing up liquid or dish cloths and only one tea towel. Agree with others comments about difficulty of getting normal channels (including radio) on the TV but since we don’t generally watch TV it wasn’t an issue for us. Overall a really good place to stay and we would definitely recommend.

Great location , nice size , comfortable beds , parking .

Nice place to unwind . Downside ...Needs a really good clean !

A great cottage in fabulous Morpeth right in heart of everything.

Unfortunately never met Steve due to time of arrival but cottage was clean, tidy & close enough to many excellent restaurants no more than at most 5-10 mins away. Bonus was the parking spaces, we were only one vehicle so this was doubly excellent. 1st cottage we have arrived at where toilet paper, toilet duck, kitchen towel, hand wash, washing up liquid aswell as towels also provided such a pleasant surprise as bought all this from home as have always had to buy previously. Steve was brilliant in contacting us prior to arrival and answered any questions we had, would not hesitate to go back to the cottage, Morpeth or Northumberland, stunning part of the country had a real impression on us.

Superbly situated next to Morpeth Chantry.

Very comfortable beds and sofas. Only two main minuses: 1. No food preparation tools apart from a measuring jug that wasn’t suitable for use in a microwave. I had to buy £50 worth of very basic equipment: colander ( which I left), hand whisk, scissors, pasta / bacon tongs, cheese grater etc, mixing spoon etc. as you can see, very basic. 2. The door seal and dispenser drawer of the washing machine were rife with mould. I managed to clean them enough so I was happy to use it but it took a lot of elbow grease. We loved the ‘secret room’ with the dollhouse! It’s obvious the house is very old and has been altered a great deal. We would have loved some information on the history of the house and how it was changed from its original. For instance, who carved their initials on the overmantel? We’d definitely stay there again but I’d raid my kitchen drawers first!

Just back from a 2 night stay.

Perfect location, lovely cottage just a 2 minute walk from the high street. Lovely eateries in walking distance and very friendly locals. Would recommend and would stay again. Morpeth is a lovely little town and didn't mind been called into "The Office" during our stay to sample the beers and coders

This is a comfy house with top appliances and fixtures.

Everything was perfect for our family stay. We loved the location, just off the high street--it's easy to grab coffee or nip to The Office pub round the corner. Although it's near the busy road, we never heard traffic. Highly recommend, and we hope to visit again!

Loved it very central, had a lovely stay; I would definitely book again.

I would highly recommend this gorgeous property.

It was beautifully clean and the owner couldn’t have been nicer. Many thanks for a lovely break in beautiful Morpeth.

Comfortable and clean with helpful communication with the owner.

We had a wonderful stay.

Everything that you need at hand. Very spacious and clean. Although the cottage is very close to shops, bars, and restaurants, we didn't hear any noise. Parking space is a bonus. Good information for a hassle free check-in/out. We would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you Steve.

This is a delightful cottage in the heart of Morpeth.

It is warm and comfortable and easy to walk into the nearby lively town. The beds are very comfortable (one room is better for children), and the shower is excellent. Two parking places are also a bonus. I really can’t praise it highly enough!

Hi Steve We very much enjoyed our stay at Chantry Place.

It was very spacious and comfortable and the location was perfect for our visiting family to meet up with us over the New Year holiday. We would certainly book again if the situation arose. Many thanks Chris

Wanted a few days away to relax .

That was exactly what we received.Thank you for taking care of us .Hope we left your home as you would have wished .

Lovely town, property genuinely well positioned and presented very well.

Town centre position comes with price of some noise (bridge pathway, local attraction, pub, takeaway, cafe, rear of businesses and restaurants all within 1 minute walk), but we didn't find this intrusive. Town on level ground except short decline up to station. The 'garden' is literally all you see on page 25, no bigger than many flat balconies. Its overlooked by neighbours so lacks privacy, but as we were out a lot enjoying the area and beyond it didn't really trouble us. Neighbours were friendly. Walk-in shower very modern, high powered. Missed a 2nd wc, though only bathroom has seoerate bath & shower. The twin room beds were adequote for children, but as smaller than expected they may not suit an adult. Lounge very comfortable, spacious, large hi-tech smart TV. Overall accomodation is equipped well, spacious, bright and welcoming. Highly recommend Morpeth as a base and lovely attractive, well equipped beautiful town. Hire a boat to row from riverbank in town recommended. 'The Office' pub opposite property is recommended - an easy stagger home!

house in a good position, with plenty of nearby facilities.

house inside very comfortable The TV was, though, difficult to use, as the "basic" BBC / ITV/ ch4 / ch5 etc could not be accessed .

Great location, seconds from the shops and restaurants.

The property is well equipped and very comfortable, a real home from home. It is very spacious too. I would definitely recommend and we hope to return in the future.

Excellent.

So modern and comfortable. Could not get any nearer to the town-fantastic! Lots of lovely walks. The owner was acessible when we had a problem and always amenable

We have just had a wonderful week in Morpeth.

The holiday cottage was lovely and bigger than we expected. It was very comfortably furnished and in a prime position adjacent to the town. But it was also very quiet and we were not bothered by noise from the road or nearby shops. Altogether a wonderful spot for a holiday!

Property was lovely but a few minor improvements can be made to cleanliness.

Dishwasher was dirty. We didn’t use it but did empty it and lift food wrappers and lids out. Small details like dusting mirror frame in kitchen would make a difference. On stripping the bed in the king size room, the mattress protector had a large stain which was not nice. We did thoroughly enjoy our stay but little things make for a better experience.

Lovely cottage, great location in Morpeth and Steve was really helpful.

Fantastic location; short walks to everything from supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants and Carlisle Park.

Great to have two car parking spaces. Spotlessly clean throughout. Three great sized bedrooms and very comfortable beds. Excellent shower and bathroom. Well stocked kitchen with good appliances. Easy check in and check out process and excellent communication with owners. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend this listing.

Lovely cottage centrally located in Morpeth.

Cottage fully equipped. Loads of restaurants,coffee shops and pubs within easy walking distance. Morpeth is a lovely town well worth a visit.

Property in a very good situation, close to shops, restaurants etc.

Very happy with the facilities and the owner was very helpful when contacted. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily book this cottage again.

The position and the cleanliness of the property was excellent.

Beds were comfortable, loads of room to store clothes, bathroom, shower very good. The white carpets all through were "challenging" but illustrated how clean the property was. The one let down was the lack of kitchen equipment, cutlery, china etc. There were only 2 of us but if we book again, and we aim to, a teapot that holds 2 and a half cups maximum is hardly adequate. We will also bring our slow cooker and a pair of kitchen scissors!!

Excellent cottage and location being in the town centre of Morpeth yet very quiet.

Definitely one of the best cottages we have ever rented. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly, and I would highly recommend the cottage. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of Sykes. Upon return from the holiday they were supposed to send us a code to enable us £40 off a future booking with them. Over 6 weeks later and after numerous phone calls to them, each time being promised it would be sorted out, I'm still waiting for this code. Their customer service is abysmal to the point of being non existent. I had exactly the same problem in July after a holiday booked with them then and that took over two months to resolve. How much time or intelligence does it take to email a code to me ? Come on Sykes, sort yourselves out!!!

Really central location just off the main shopping street yet quiet.

Not enough crockery for 6 people we had to buy some more mugs for coffee and no glass tumblers.

Not a problem but just thought to mention it. The cottage was perfect and in an ideal location for us.

Gorgeous cottage in perfect location.

Excellent facilities with everything you could need. Good communication with owner before and during stay. Would recommend this cottage.

Morpeth is a lovely place to stay,lots of walks.

The cottage was located in the middle of the town,less than 2 minutes walk from the bars and restaurants.

Lovely property, in a fantastic location.

Morpeth is a hidden jewel in the north east. The high street was one minute away, as was the lovely Carlisle Park and the river. The cottage was spacious and well equipped. As a family of two adults and two older teenagers the only improvement would be a second bathroom, but I appreciate that this is not possible, and it didn’t affect our enjoyment. We would definitely recommend and return.
