Lovely cottage but not in Northumberland as listed.. Very clean and cosy. My only problem was I asked for logs for the log burner and didn’t receive them. I tried to ring the owner twice but no answer and because of the covid situation could not approach the farm. Nice little stay visited some lovely places highly recommend Raby Castle and it’s grounds

The Cottage itself its absolutely lovely, the host fantastic and in a great idyllic location.. The log burner in the winter months is lovely! Me and my partner went for her birthday and just wanted to relax, and this is certainly a great space to do exactly that! The only issue i had, which I believe is a Sykes problem, not the owners, it list this property ad being in Northumberland, which it is not. A bit misleading, but maybe I should've double checked before booking. I would expect a place to be where it states it is, however.

You should be aware of what was listed as included.. We had to request the DVD player,which had a short HDMI cable & had to be mounted on a pile of books to reach the wall-mounted TV.Also, we were advised by Lisa Simpson that there was no CD/radio provided, which was contrary to your description as part of the package. Poor lighting over the dining area. No information pack was provided regarding the equipment in the property (kitchen information was found in spare cupboard, not obvious) and there was limited tourist leaflets to be found & these were located in the Utility Room across the yard.

Stayed here for a chilled out girly weekend, gorgeous cottage, absolutely immaculate. Had a lovely welcome from owner Lisa who explained a few things and left us a fire start up pack. Used the taxi number provided and went to Barnard Castle for shopping and food, great location, would definitely recommend to others.

Lovely comfortable cottage, well catered for and lovely and clean

Mr Macsween, July 2019

We loved this cottage and the friendliness of the owner.. There was a lot of attention to detail. (The only thing I wanted was a wooden spoon!) My friend who was in the smaller bedroom said it would have been nice to have a simple pull out bracket to hang a few items, but we did appreciate the coat stand in the lounge. The beds were the most comfortable I have ever had on holiday. Delightful spot, absolutely LOVELY and would thoroughly recommend. We had never been to the area before and found some really lovely places to visit - some by car, some by bus. Would definitely go back.

It’s our first time with Sykes cottages and must say how well organised the company is - keeping you at all times well informed.. - thank you. We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at Grove Cottage. The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable. A big thank you to Lisa for the welcome pack which was very much appreciated and for her care. An additional plus was meeting Dora, the farms cat. We would definitely return. John & Lynda

From the minute we arrived we were made to feel welcome by owners Lisa and Hayley. Full guided tour with lovely welcome pack for us. A quick potted guide to the area and we were left to enjoy our surroundings. Luckily a bit of forward planning saw us enjoy 2017 KYNREN production which I cannot recommend highly enough. Walks in Hamsterley Forest and to High Force Waterfall as well as visits to Bishop Auckland, Barnard Castle, Raby Castle and Darlington saw us have a great break around the area. You will not be disappointed with this property or area.

Cottage listing was very good.. In reality the property we booked was not done justice by the photographs. Everything from hospitality of owners through location and local attractions was tremendous.

Mrs Carter

Had an amazing few days, the cottage was just perfect. What made the holiday so nice was how well the cottage was furnished. It was a real home from home experience which is what we were looking for having our 2 young children with us.
