Plumtree Cottage Reviews

Cottage is in an ideal location to explore both the Northumbrian coastline and countryside. A very relaxing location to rest in. Cottage was clean, tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. Owners were welcoming but not intrusive. A lovely stay. Would stay again.
Hannah
Plumtree Cottage is perfect. Its beautifully presented, immaculately clean and extremely wellappointed. Plus its in a great location for exploring this wonderful part of the country. Not only do we hope to come back to Plumtree Cottage, but weve already sent the link to two friends, so they might be coming themselves!
Our second time here and once again we found the cottage to be clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Its perfectly located for exploring all areas of Northumberland and only a few minutes from beautiful beaches and delightful places for tea and scones or crab stotties! We loved every minute and have already booked for next year.
Jeannette
We enjoyed a wonderful week at Plumtree Cottage. Everything we needed was available, the cottage was very clean and cosy and in a perfect location for sightseeing. We enjoyed watching the birds, rabbits and cows in the field in front of the cottage and in better weather would have sat outside for our breakfast. There is so much more to see and do that I know we will definitely come back to this cottage, but sadly it is already booked for our preferred weeks next year! Our fisrt visit to Northumberland did not disappoint.
Sandra
Ideallly situated. A lovely homely welcoming cottage.Very well equipped and in lovely surroundings.
Richard
Plumtree Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was spacious and tastefully decorated and had everything we needed for a relaxing and most enjoyable stay. It was private and overlooking fields but still near a road with easy access to many beautiful locations. It was a short drive away from Alnmouth station on the busy Newcastle to Edinburgh line. We would highly recommend this property.
Lovely property, very clean and extremely well equipped. Great location for exploring the area.
We enjoyed our Christmas getaway at Plumtree Cottage. Well positioned for walks along the coast Alnmouth, Boulmer, Craster as well as inland visits Cragside, Hulne Park. Also well equipped and cosy for just relaxing indoors. We appreciated all the little touches that made the place feel like a home from home.
Gillian
A delightful cottage with everything that you need for a week away. The owners were on hand if you needed anything but did not interfere. The location is excellent for some lovely places to visit. A rural location looking out onto fields making the stay so restful. Cows wandering in the field and birds feeding on the feeders. I couldn't recommend this place more highly.
Fantastic property, very clean and everything you need. Absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in wholeheartedly recommending this cottage. Set away from the main road looking out on to a field of cows. Yes, you have to drive to reach any amenities but this is what makes the cottage so restful and appealing to us. The only minor gripe is that the bed is quite small when you are used to a king sized bed, but this is a personal issue and for most I suspect not an issue.
Jeannine
A lovely cottage in a good location overlooking countryside.
Lovely cottage in excellent location for exploring the Northumbrian coast and countryside. Our favourite holiday destination.
Patrick
What a wonderful find, we have have been going to this area for the last ten years and this is by far the best cottage we have ever stayed in. It was very comfortable, clean and an ideal location. The walks from this property are a must along the river into Alnmouth. We will be definitely booking this cottage again
Clean, comfortable, warm, well presented property. Pleasant, quiet location with a grass field adjacent Owners were approachable and helpful. The only minor difficulty we had was turning around our 5.33 metre long vehicle in the narrow drive but the owners helped by parking their vehicles to allow us a bit more turning space.
We had a really lovely stay in Plumtree cottage . The cottage was spotlessly clean , and very comfortable , and the owner was very friendly but didnt intrude on our privacy . The cottage is also in a very good location for visiting all the local attractions . Im sure we will return for another visit
We found this to be a beautiful cottage in an ideal location. It s no surprise that it consistently gets 55 reviews and many repeat visitors. Weve joined the club and already booked again! Thank you.

This was our third stay at this cottage and it was just perfect. The owners are a delight to speak to and extremely pleasant. Their accommodation is spot on with beautiful views over the countryside and a lovely, quiet position in Lesbury. Its always a special treat to stay there.
This is an excellent holiday rental. It's well laid out and has everything you could need. It's in a super location with town and seaside within 10 minutes drive. The owners are friendly but not intrusive. This was our fourth visit and we hope it will not be our last.

Plumtree Cottage is a lovely place to stay. Well maintained and everything you could need for a relaxing holiday.my partner & I have stayed at the cottage on a number of occasions and enjoyed every one of our visits.
A lovely homely cottage in a perfect location. Everything you could ask for.
The cottage was better than expectations. Extremely clean and comfortable and all equipment was really good quality. The cottage is in a great area close to Alnwick, Alnmouth, and Warkworth. We had a lovely relaxing stay.
Elenore
Very well equipped accommodation, very comfortable and excellent location. Would certainly recommend and hope to visit again soon
The best place we have booked and we have used Sykes a lot. The owner was extremely helpful and had thought of everything.
Pamela
Would like to have known about the trains whooshing past regularly. The property itself was lovely parking a slight problem as you need to be able to drive out as strange get on to a main road
Philip
This beautiful little cottage is exceptional and in a lovely location with all amenities you can wish for. We would definitely rebook it should we visit Northumberland at a later date
Perfect location for exploring! The cottage was absolutely lovely in every way! The hosts have thought about every little detail to make this a fantastic holiday cottage. Would definitely recommend
Kenneth
This was our 3rd visit to Plumtree Cottage and that says it all. It is a clean and comfortable cottage in a lovely part of Northumberland and run by a friendly couple. If we were in the area again, we would have no hesitation in booking aanother stay.
Sandra
Lovely cottage with lovely views. Lovely welcome gift of wine and flowers. Sue was on hand to show us where everything was which was great. Lovely and relaxing felt like a home from home settled in immediately. Excellent base for exploring Northumberland coast. Also ideally place for trip to Edinburgh by train. Would definitely recommend this excellent hosts and will return
Malcolm
The cottage was very well equipped and very clean and tidy. Sue kindly provided a nice bottle of Prosecco too as a welcome gesture.
Everything was as described. It would have been lovely to have had a welcome pack ie tea, coffee, milk, bread, butter and when ringing the owners about key collection, for them to ask what we would like in the pack, but this is only a minor matter. We did receive a lovely bottle of wine and some flowers. Can't wait to go back in March for my husband's birthday treat and booking again for October before all the dates go. The cottage was so warm and great to have a clean cooker as some places we have been to I have had to start cleaning. A warmer duvet might be needed in Winter but the bed was very comfortable. Well done the owners
Jennifer
