Superbly maintained property in a lovely location.. The owners (Jim & Sandra) keep the house immaculately. Its really spacious with all the facilities and equipment that you could possibly need and more. Coldingham is a lovely little seaside village with a great beach just 15 mins walk from the house (<5 mins in the car) Thoroughly recommended.

CHALDON was a really comfortable house with plenty of space for 7 adults and very well equipped good parking .. Plenty to do in the area and the village was really nice.

Mrs Williamson, December 2019

Lovely Christmas welcome with tree set up , shortbread and wine in fridge.. House just perfect and so clean . Best holiday home ever.

Mrs Tennant, December 2019

The big problem with this house, was the password for the internet was not clear to read the lettering was difficult to tell what was what ! And the tv was also a issue as we could not get the Normal channels . Ground floor bedtime was small for a double room . Apart from that all good .

Mr Dickie, November 2019

The village is lovely there's a shop less than 5min walk that sells anything you may need (a little expensive, but not overly) there is also two pubs less than 5min walk (we would reccomend the New Inn, dog friendly and child friendly) staff are all fantastic and the food is lovely! The beach is a 15-30min walk depending on which route you take, we found lots of starfish and crabs at low tide, the kids loved it! Edinburgh is about an hour away, always worth a visit and the Christmas Market is on with all the festive lights (just stunning), Glasgow is a good 2hr drive but well worth the day out you have the transport museum, kelvin grove arr gallery (all free barring a donation) there's also some fantastic castles within a 2hr drive, it's a good location to allow you to explore! The property itself....its best feature is the living room it is nice and comfortable BUT take your own entertainment as there are no DVDs etc for kids, and the TV is basic so even if you have a Netflix account you cant use it, the kitchen is also a great room which is where we spent most of the time cooking and playing games (we brought our own, and would advise to do the same as there aren't any there), the bedrooms are adequate BUT they are small doubles (I'm 6'2") and because of the bed frame had to sleep on an angle and wasn't a very comfortable sleep, also NONE of the main bedrooms have ANY HANGING SPACE there is a chest of drawers and bedside cabinets, that's it! Only on of the bedrooms have a TV and that's also the room with the ensuite! There is a downstairs toilet at the entrance, but bath and shower facilities are all upstairs. The property also states enclosed gardens so we thought nothing of letting our dog out the back door on arrival after the long car journey, only to be greeted by him moments later at the front of the property (you can close the driveway gates) BUT the front hedges are NOT secure so if you have a small dog, or a curious big dog the can easily escape so I would be very vigilant when letting your pet out. It was an enjoyable break but I dont think we would return to this particular property....the area yes!

This is an odd shaped house from the outside which hides the spaciousness once inside.. It is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The beds and bedding are superior. Some maintenance is necessary, maybe because it is the end of the season. We would have felt responsible if the toilet roll holders had finally fallen off the wall, for example! Two downsides which other guests have commented on in the past - the roof over the master bedroom is very noisy in the frequent wind, and the garden is not secure (as advertised). Dogs can escape and cannot be left alone. The area is beautiful. The historic village is charming and very welcoming, and the sheltered beach is superb.

Mrs Percival, October 2019

A very spacious comfortable house with lots of comfy seating and a peaceful garden to relax in.. The village had everything you could need and everyone was very friendly.

Great house so comfortable home from home

Mrs Harris, August 2019

The Coldingham beach is lovely but 10 minute drive.. Lots of ‘hidden’ walks in the area which was recommended by a man at the village bookshop. Great food at local pub 5 minutes walk from the house.

Mrs Wright, August 2019

July 2019

We had a really great time at Chaldon in Coldingham.. The house was everything we were hoping for and more: plenty of space for the five of us, and very attentive owners when one or two little things went wrong (a shower fitment and the fan oven). The location of the property was excellent, with Coldingham only a stone's throw away, with its local facilities and its charm, and the lovely beach just a bit further on. We were very sorry to have to leave, and wished we could have booked it for a fortnight rather than just a week.

Dr Carr, July 2019

We enjoyed our week with friends from Cumbria, Dumfries & we came down from Aberdeen to meet & catch up in Chaldon , plenty room for 6 adults to do what they wanted in the house.. We explored the wee coastal villages & towns roundabout, up as far as Tranent for a concert & down as far as Berwick on Tweed. Coldingham itself is a lovely unspoilt wee village & we were lucky to be there to attend an Afternoon Tea in the Priory Church which was excellent in a beautiful old building.

We had a lovely week in a lovely house situated in the middle of the village.. The only negative was the fact we could not access BBC Tv for whatever reason! Thanks Richard Flynn

We were informed on arrival, via a handwritten note, that the previous occupant had taken the WiFi code.. We were promised that a router and new code would arrive on Tuesday 4 September. Nothing happened on the Tuesday, nor in the remaining days of our holiday. No contact was made by the owner nor your company regarding this issue. This was extremely disappointing and inconvenient as I work from home as an Accountant and no wifi led me to make alternative arrangements. I would stress that this complaint is not related to the accommodation which was excellent.

Mrs Prickett

First time booking Syke's cottages and wow were we impressed .. Can't wait to book another trip . Everything was perfect. We have used other sites before but never again as sykes cottages top the lot

Ms Harris

Lovely clean well set out house with plenty of space - fully equipped to meet .... Lovely clean well set out house with plenty of space - fully equipped to meet all our needs - nice outdoor space so always a spot to catch some sun - more outdoor seating would be a good thing - perhaps a nice bench by the side of the house - plenty parking space - nice comfy beds and a lovely village setting within walking distance to a lovely beach where we spent many a happy hour - nice shower to boot so what else could we ask for - would recommend highly

Mrs Hulme

July 2018

We had a lovely time.. The cottage felt spacious and large enough for all of us. Coldingham bay is a beautiful beach and only a 15min walk away from the cottage. Thank you to the owners who posted back the clothes we accidentally left behind

Mrs Gow

Beautiful place to stay.. Plenty of space, bright and clean.

Mrs Dansey

May 2018

The TV was very complicated to operate, we were unable to get live TV.. Maybe a dummies guide to the T V would have been helpfull. Apart from that it was a lovely house, in a very beautiful part of the world.

Mr Hickson

Hosts were helpful.. NICE TO HAVE THE HOUSE DECORATED FOR CHRISTMAS ANS A WELCOME BOTTLE OF PRISECO.

Mrs Heather

September 2017

Gorgeous house, well furnished, comfortable and well equipped with a secure enclosed garden.. Quiet area with plenty of walks for the dog.

Mrs Taylor

March 2017

The house was very comfortable, close to the village with shops and pubs.. There is a horrible blind corner on the walk into the village where the pavement disappears but we found a safe alternative route walking through the beautiful churchyard we'd recommend. Further from Coldingham Bay than suggested, definitely more of a half hour leisurely walk. All in all a lovely week and a really lovely house.

Mr Pinnell

October 2016

It would be better if there were instructions for the appliances, and information about local services and facilities..

Mr Pinnell, October 2016

Some extra cutlery and crockery would be very useful if booked for the full compliment of people.. Wardrobe space a bit awkward for eight people.

Mr Hopkins, October 2016

We love the area and enjoyed returning to old haunts.. The house itself was spacious and comfortable with plenty room for our grandchildren to have space to run about . The only suggestion I would make would be to leave instructions for all the kitchen appliances.
