The property is a barn conversion which which has been very cleverly done.. Although the basic footprint of the property is small, the interior is deceptively spacious with plenty of room due to the very clever use of space. It is exceptionally well appointed with a very high level of cleanliness and wonderfully cosy on an evening. Although on a working farm we had a very peaceful, quiet week. Local people are very friendly and the big Northumberland skies are breathtaking on a clear night. A superb getaway.

The most wonderful cottage.. Secluded, quiet, cosy -perfect place to get away from it all. The hosts live opposite the cottage and are friendly but certainly not obtrusive. The cottage is well equipped with everything you could need. Fantastic base to explore Northumberland.

Lovely warm and cosy litte retreat well placed to visit some of Northumbrias best loved attractions.. We particulary liked the sitting area over looking fields and being able to sit down with a cup of tea and the cake (provided by Mrs Betts) to enjoy the views!

Mrs Seddon, December 2019

The Bothy was a lovely and cosy place to stay.. We had a most comfortable and relaxing week. Christine and Steve are a really friendly and lovely couple. Steve went the extra mile when i had a puncture and drove me 10 miles to get a new tyre.

Mr Hughes

The Bothy was just what we needed for a quiet restful holiday. It is ideally situated away from it all. A lovely cottage which was beautifully presented. It is in a peaceful location with lots of birds coming into the natural garden. Thank you.

The location of The Bothy was perfect. Close enough to nearest points of interest that we didn't need to spend hours traveling from place to place, but The Bothy was secluded enough to ensure peaceful evenings in a very rural setting. The log burner in the lounge was another lovely touch. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, and we're always available should we have needed anything.

The Bothy at Barmoor Mill is such a lovely, homely place to spend a leisurely holiday. It's an excellent barn conversion, thoughtfully designed throughout, and well equipped with pretty much everything from corkscrews to binoculars. We spent a week here with our dog (who appreciated the run of the fenced garden) and found the location ideal for visiting Lindisfarne, Alnwick, Berwick and further afield along the Scottish borders. On a cold, wet November evening it was lovely to come back to the warm, cosy comfort of The Bothy, and we have already booked to return again next year.

Stayed with a friend for 1 week and loved it. It was well located for Holy Island, Berwick-Upon-Tweed the A1 and the 697 roads making all the important sites easy to reach. The Bothy was spotlessly clean, well equipped with linens, kitchen utensils, nice furniture, and set in the loveliest scenery. Highly recommended. The owners make you very welcome.

Mrs Beaver

Good quality accommodation is the first step for us to a good holiday. We had our furry friends with us so knew we would be walking a lot, and this area definitely provides that. We will definitely be using Sykes Cottages again if this is the standard you provide. Thank You.

Mr Moffat

A lovely cottage which was well kitted. In a brilliant location, very close to major tourist attractions and nearby villages lovely with plenty of places to visit and stops for coffee's etc. It was a lovely slow pace to life giving a relaxing atmosphere to chill out in.

The Bothy is perfect for 2 people. We took the dog too. It's very light and airy, with fantastic views. A real home from home. Beautifully kept. Great bed for a perfect nights sleep and a great garden too. Close enough to the A1 to travel around and see all the fantastic places Northumberland has to offer. We had a fantastic time and can't wait to go back.

Bev J

We stayed at the Bothy for a week. It has everything you need for a great stay. Clean and light and a really comfy bed.. A proper homely feel. A great barn conversion. It's in a lovely location, surrounded by fields and countryside. Plenty of lanes to walk the dog. Ideal for exploring Northumberland, close to the A1 and Holy Island. The owners were very helpful and the home made cake they left us was delicious. One of the best places we have stayed. We can't wait to go back

The Bothy was in a lovely setting with views to the sea over the fields on one side and rolling countryside from the living room window.

My husband and I booked this for 7 nights to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and it was an excellent choice. We were both stressed and tired when we arrived but after a couple of days at 'The Bothy' we felt like we almost lived there! The bed is so comfortable we slept very well and woke every morning refreshed. Just what the doctor ordered! The location of the Bothy is ideal for exploring the Northumberland coast - we visited Berwick, Anwick, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Holy Island and went to Edinburgh on the East Coast train.

The property was beautiful, a sympathetic barn conversion, very warm and log burner was fab. The location was stunning, so peaceful and the paddock to exercise the dogs in was a real bonus.

Mr Carrick

The Bothy is gorgeous and immaculate. We loved it! Cannot recommend this property enough. We have stayed in several holiday cottages and this one cannot be bettered.

The Bothy was perfect for a lovely quiet break, we had a great time visiting the coast around Bamburgh and Seahouses. Would definitely visit again.

Mr Marshall

The Bothy was a real find for us. Luxurious accommodation for two, clean attractive and comfortable furniture - the two bathrooms particularly good. Owners welcoming and helpful even providing towels and a bowl for our dog. Peaceful location with plenty of parking and a good sized gravelled garden. We consider this the best holiday cottage we have ever rented.
