The Old Workshop

A well stocked holiday home with everything provided + extras.

The bedrooms were really comfortable as well as being fashionably decorated. The kitchen contained multiple items of crockery and cutlery etc. It was a bit cold for us to use the outside but it looked suitable for outside eating. It was also immaculately clean.

The Old Workshop is a beautiful property.

Very nicely furnished and decorated. Location is good ,short drive to many local attractions. We were left a lovely welcome gift of prosecco, chocolates, biscuits and milk which we all enjoyed, thank you. The property was warm and welcoming with everything you need to make it a home from home. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Just returned from a well earned week away at The Old Workshop, Middleton, near Belford with the family, plus new arrival (Dexter) oh !

and two dogs. Could not be happier with the accommodation. Clean, comfortable, well equipped and perfectly situated for visiting this beautiful part of the country. Excellent welcome gifts 'cake was fantastic ', and the owners Vicky & Steve were very helpful on the odd occasion they were required . Very happy

MY SECOND VISIT.

WONDERFUL PROPERTY WHICH I CAN THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND

We have stayed in various rental accommodations, in the area over many years but have to say The Old Workshop is by far the best!

The cottage is spacious, well equipped, extremely comfortable and in the most delightful, peaceful setting. We hope to return soon and spend some more time there.

Great cottage - we had a fabulous week.

Beautiful setting and the girls loved the play area. Goodies on arrival were much appreciated.

The workshop is well situated in a private woodland and is in a quiet, lovely spot.

Great for multi generational holidays, our Grandson aged 4 had a wonderful time, and so did our doggy family members. A great welcome pack on arrival and the house was spotless and so well equipped x thank-you, the little touches mean so much. Thank you Steve and Vicki for a really lovely family break, lots of happy memories

Lovely cottage in a perfect location.

Lovely welcome of homemade cake and Prosecco. Beds were made with great quality bedding - just in the spirit of constructive feedback , the bed in the main bedroom creaks a lot.

This is a beautiful place to stay.

It's a real home from home. The barn was spotless on arrival and the welcome pack went down well in our party of five. The surroundings to the barn was an extra bonus....our granddaughter loved riding her bike and seeing all the animals. Would definitely recommend this barn. Thank you Steve and Vicky.

The cottage is beautiful, very relaxing, peaceful and well equipped.

The treats on arrival including eggs from the owners chicken and ducks were much appreciated. The garden was well fenced and secure for our dogs to explore. The location was excellent for exploring the area. We had a brilliant week thank you so much :)

First class in everyway.

Peaceful relaxing spotless,Charming beauiful cottage and full of character.Saw a Kingfisher on the fence on the first morning.

Superb cottage.

- spacious , comfortable and sparkling clean ! It was beautifully furnished and was very well set up with all that you would need . The location was really good , it was very close to lots of lovely places in Northumberland . The only point I would make is your website did not explain about the parking and had an old photo of where I presumed we would park . My husband has mobility problems and would have found it very difficult if the owners had not kindly sorted out some parking for us .

Non-allergic pillows would be a good idea.

Provision of one or two waste black bags, a few dishwasher tablets would also be useful

An excellent holiday cottage.

Can be highly recommended.

A perfect place to explore Northumberland.

The cottage is superb and plenty of room even for 6 people and a dog. Kids loved the park and the beautiful walks. We all loved every minute of our stay!!

Stunning property.

Very comfortable, well equipped and an excellent base for visiting the area. Thoroughly recommend The Old Workshop!

The cottage is outstanding in every respect.

Our only very minor gripe is pretty much all the pans stick, take ages to clean & require replacing

The cottage is very comfortable, clean and very spacious.

Lovely surprise to find a homemade lemon drizzle cake, eggs (from owners' hens) and a bottle of Prosecco! It made my birthday extra special! Situation means easily accessible to Northumberland and Scotland with lots of nearby places to visit. Thanks very much and hope to return. Allison, Richard and Hazel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The cottage was very well equipped and the added bonus of the ping pong table in the barn next door was brilliant. It kept the boys entertained for hours.

Great house for a family Christmas together.

Clean, comfortable and lots of room. Stan our dog also had a fantastic time. The only small problem we found was that the fridge (and freezer) was too small, esp for a family Christmas. But overall a superb house in wonderful grounds.

A wonderful cottage!

Just spent a few nights away but we we could have stayed longer! Vicky is a superb host! The chocolate cake, prosecco, milk, coffee, tea, and fresh eggs were a lovely gesture. Would love to come back in the summer.

We had a lovely weeks break in this beautiful and cosy cottage.

It was clean, comfortable and had everything you could wish for. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the welcome treats were a lovely touch. It is well positioned for Bamborough, Berwick and Alnwick. We would recommend.

We had a fabulous week staying in this lovely cottage and Vicky and Steve were great hosts too.

There is plenty to do on site with the kids really enjoying the play area and fishing in the lake. There is lots to explore both locally and within a 30 minute drive. Couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing week away! We would definitely recommend for anybody wanting to explore Northumberland.

Absolutely gorgeous property and lovely hosts.

Property was in a fabulous location and we loved seeing all the animals too. Would recommend :)

The sofas were a bit deep for us felt like we were laying down at night in the lounge.

Other than that super.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and in a fantastic location for exploring Northumberland.

The garden was so peaceful and we had a lovely week.

We really enjoyed our stay in The Old Workshop.

The house is immaculate, really comfortable and well equipped in a great location. There is good outside seating area , in a cute garden with a stream running along right beside. It is so peaceful with only the sound of the birds in the trees. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area, and would recommend it as a great place to stay.

We had a fantastic stay at The Old Workshop.

The cottage and it’s location were amazing and the Prosecco and homemade cookies were a lovely, and very tasty, touch. We would definitely recommend anybody to stay here.

Very comfortable beautiful cottage, lovely welcome with a drizzle cake and prosecco.

Gorgeous grounds and a lovely village near bye.

We had such a lovely stay, the old workshop felt spacious but cosy/homely at the same time.

It was the perfect place for a Christmas family get together complete with lots of festive touches which were very much appreciated. We had trouble starting the car when leaving and the owner was really lovely and helpful and let us stay a bit longer, the cleaner then helped us get the car going again - a really memorable holiday, thank you, would highly recommend the old workshop.

Everything was absolutely lovely apart from the bed which has a rather old and springy mattress

The old Workshop is beautifully presented, well equipped and is situated in a lovely setting.

It is in a location from which we could access lovely beaches and places. The only niggle we’re the king size and single mattresses which did not suit our (older) backs, but that is a personal thing and we appreciate that. We loved our stay.

Lovely property with everything you need for your stay.

Loved our welcome gifts, cake was delicious.thank you. Enjoyed our walk along the woodland trail to see the pigmy goats, so cute. We all had a fabulous time thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

The old Workshop was an amazing place to stay.

The location was excellent,

Amazing stay at the Old Workshop, truly beautiful property with every facility you need for a stay, lovely personal touches with the fizz, homemade cake and fresh eggs, presumably laid by the on-site chickens (even though we both don’t eat eggs), along with the complimentary set of logs and coal for the fuel stove.

Totally tucked out of the way for a rural feel with no light pollution and guaranteed good nights sleep. Would definitely return and loved our all too short stay.

From the very start great communication with the owners, I needed to drop our luggage off an hour earlier than check in to enable us to have an empty boot to collect a mobility scooter we’d hired for the week.

No problem at all. The cottage went above our expectations, beautiful presented, the welcome pack of essentials and a wonderful home made cake, the quality and attention to detail in furnishings and decor. Really one of the best holiday homes we’ve stayed in with an abundance of days out on your doorstep. We would highly recommend and had a wonderful time.

The cottage was fantastic.

Our only problem was with the directions given by Sykes Cottages which incorrectly tell you to follow the satnav. If you do, the postcode takes you to an adjoining driveway and gatehouse, to the confusion of the owner there. We then tried another driveway signposted Middleton Estate but found no signage for the Old Workshop so we had to ring the owner who told us we were in the correct place. Sykes Cottages need to amend the directions to tell you to follow the driveway signposted Middleton Estate and at the end turn left where it it signposted Sawmill Cottages (of which the Old Workshop is one).

This property was superb, probably the best we’ve stayed in over the years.

Well appointed, modern yet cosy with fantastic attention to detail. Excellent communication from owners both prior to & on arrival with the cake & fizz a lovely touch. The kitchen in particular has excellent facilities, so much so we were able to do a full Easter dinner. Kids loved outdoor space & layout of cottage allowed both family time & some separation when required. Only very minor things we’d change would be wooden spoons being a welcome addition to kitchen & also a non plastic gravy jug. Dishwasher needs fixing or replacing as the constant washing up was a bit of a bind. It would be churlish to focus on this though after such a great week in outstanding surroundings. Looking to book for next year & we’ll definitely be back.

Gorgeous, well equipped cottage in a great location within the Northumberland countryside.

Lovely tranquil outdoor area. The hosts are wonderful, so welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. We absolutely loved our stay, thank you, would highly recommend this cottage.

Absolutely lovely cottage, couldn’t find anything to fault it , owners very attentive without being intrusive Would highly recommend this cottage for a family stay in Northumberland

Apart from the stunning countryside the site of the cottage was ideal as a base.

Perfect dog walking in woods and beach.Belford was very convinient for essentials but,unfortunately,due to staff shortages no food served in village pubs.We went further afield to Bamburgh.An ideal location for outdoor activities.

The cottage was excellent.

Well equipped with all kitchen pots and pans, you could really stay for months! great selection of board games for a rainy day, great internet as well which is helpful if you need that kind of thing. Lovely, peaceful grounds, excellent out door space for the dog and a great patio. was literally there for 1 day and already looking for when can go back!

The Old Workshop is a lovely place to stay.

It was well maintained and very clean. We would recommend staying there.

Nit picking really the old workshop was beautiful inside but a proper foot path into back garden would be better than walking on pebblws

A wonderful holiday cottage, beautifully decorated and with everything you need for a relaxing break.

Close to all the castles and beaches you would like to visit too! Fabulous, we will be back!

Very comfortable homely cottage feel to this listing,and very helpful,friendly owner.

This is a beautiful cottage in a great location.

The cottage had everything we needed and plenty of space for our family of four and two puppies. We really hope to visit again soon!
