Rose Cottage Reviews

Anthony
Clean, bright, airy cottage in very convenient location. Has everything we needed. Back garden was a bonus allowing us to sit outside in a secluded location in the sunshine
There was a problem with the central heating we had been warned about it and that it would be fixed on the Monday. We were given the option of changing our stay to somewhere else, but we didn't want to change from what looked like a nice place, and boy did we make the right decision. There was a fire and immersion heater for water, and to be honest we didn't miss the heating and didn't even use the fan heater provided. The house is IMMACULATE and is the cleanest place I have ever stayed in. It is beautiful and wellappointed. We had a fabulous stay, and if I could award more stars than five, I would. the owner was helpful, friendly, informative and delightful. I'm not sure any other property could possibly match up to this one.
A very relaxing and enjoyable stay at Rose Cottage. Excellent location being just a few minutes from the train station with regular buses to Alnwick and coastal routes. Plenty of places to eat out in Alnmouth, Alnwick and Longhoughton and an excellent village shop along the road for the essentials. Much appreciated the bottle of wine, fruit and delicious granary loaf on arrival. A perfect holiday. Highly recommended.
A lovely immaculate property for 2 or 3 with lots of thoughtful touches. Ideally placed for exploring all the coastal area attractions of Northumberland.
Charming cottage. Lovely decor, well maintained and good location for visiting the area. Excellent comms with the owner and thoughtful welcome pack. Would stay again recommend
Rose Cottage is beautiful and of a very high standard with everything you need for a comfortable holiday. It's in a charming village with lovely local walks and excellent links to Edinburgh, Newcastle and Durham via the local train station 10 minutes walk away. The wonderful Northumbrian coast is on the doorstep with amazing beaches and coastline. Sue is an excellent host she sends a welcoming information email, leaves a lovely welcome pack and calls to check all is well once you've arrived. We'll be back to stay at Rose cottage.
Well located for exploring Northumberland coast and castles. The owners were very helpful and we had a great time.
The owner was very kind and informative and on hand if needed which was very reassuring, nothing was too much trouble. The property was spotless and well presented which was a credit to the owner
Judith
Very generous welcome pack, great information provided and good communication with the extremely helpful and friendly owner. Rose Cottage is beautifully maintained, very comfortable and cosy and is equipped to a high standard. The location is superb for exploring the lovely area but the weather before our arrival and the time of year meant a number of our usual haunts weren't open, but having such a welcoming 'home from home' to return to when we did venture out meant that didn't matter so much! We can highly recommend the Coach Inn in Lesbury, Topsy Turvy in Warkworth and the Jolly Fisherman in Craster for a warm welcome and great food.
Amazing beautiful place. Well recomended
Lovely Cottage in a quiet location, but close to many of Northumberland's most scenic locations. Superbly comfortable, with lots of nice touches. The owner, Sue went out of her way to make us feel at home, both before and during our stay.
George
A very comfortable cottage, with all facilities to a 5 star standard. The information provided by the owner for the cottage and the area was most comprehensive and exceedingly helpful.
We absolutely loved our stay at Rose Cottage. Even before we had arrived, the owner Sue had made us feel very welcome by providing lots of information about the local area. This meant that we were able to start our holiday straightaway. Rose Cottage was a delight inside and out. Beautiful, quality furnishings, comfortable and so clean! It is obvious that Sue takes pride in looking after Rose Cottage and her guests. Thank you for the lovely roses and welcome pack of provisions. We enjoyed sitting in the pretty, sunny garden after a day of exploring the area. From the cottage we were able to walk into Alnmouth and also to the train station to travel to Edinburgh. Alnwick is a short drive away where there is the impressive castle and gardens. We also visited the National Trust's Cragside and Holy Island both definitely worth a visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and hope to return to Rose Cottage in the future.
A beautiful cottage in a lush location. It was very clean, lovely decor and had everything we needed. It was just a short walk to Alnmouth and the village shop was brilliant too, a really lovely community. The garden was a suntrap! Thanks for a lovely stay.
Gordon
A fabulous cottage in immaculate condition with little touches that make it obvious the owner cares that the occupants have everything they need to enjoy their stay. A lovely back garden in a beautifully kept village
Rose cottage is a credit to the owners, Sue and Dean. Immaculately decorated and furnished it is ideal for a 2 to 3 person stay. We wanted for nothing in terms of equipment, and the communication from Sue was excellent in highlighting some local walks and eateries. Lesbury itself is ideally situated for exploring this wonderful part of the country.
John Kenneth
An excellent cottage, very comfortable and spotlessly clean with all the equipment you could need. Set in a lovely village never too far from the main tourist sites
Simply the best! ! I could not fault it. The decor and furnishing is so attractive and everything it top quality, kitchen and dining ware, bedding etc., and a bunch of fresh flowers! All Sykes Cottages owners could learn a lot from a visit.
Rose cottage was better than described. It was absolutely spotlessly clean. We had many fantastic walks and for most days weather was reasonably good. Loved it.
Lovely cottage. Spotless and very well equipped. Owners were very friendly and gave lots of information on where to eat and walks. Great welcoming pack, very generous.
Wonderful property with extremely helpful owners. The amenities were all as described and the standard of the cottage was exceptional. A delightful array of welcome items were also provided. A great place to stay.
Caroline
Rose Cottage is a perfect base for exploring Northaumberland. The house is well equipped , everything had been thought of. Its homely and tastefully decorated. We really appreciated the call from Sue before and when we had arrived. It was brilliant having a station so close, we had a lovely day going back to Newcastle. We thoroughly enjoyed walking to Alnmouth along the river and along the beach.
Lovely cottage, well equipped and super clean, we loved our stay.
The property was home from home, everything you needed, with very tasteful homely touches throughout Very good cooking pans, utensils etc The owner couldn't do enough for you and made you feel welcome from the start by phoning a few weeks before with walks, etc followed up by an email with pubs, restaurants, directions for walks.
Convenient location with great walks at hand. Shame that the pub and shop were both closed during our stay.
Just perfect spotlessly clean, well equipped, good communication with the owner, who also provided an excellent welcome basket. Location great, so many local walks we barely used the car. Unreservedly recommended, thank you.
Sheila
Rose cottage was gorgeous! Spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable and excellent location. The information and contact from the owner was really helpful and welcoming.
Rachel
A beautiful, well maintained and cosy cottage. A perfect base from which to explore further afield. I would recommend this delightful property. We had super correspondence with the owner, who couldnt do enough to ensure our stay was perfect.
A fantastic cottage, lovely decor and equipped with everything you could need and extremely helpful owners. We enjoyed our week in Northumberland immensely and will certainly be back again soon!
Samantha
We 2 adults and a 14 year old were lucky enough to spend a wonderful week at Rose Cottage. The property was immaculate and beautifully furnished, absolutely spotless with everything & more! you could possibly need including a lovely welcome pack. The location is fantastic with lovely walks on your doorstep as well as numerous castles, beaches and villages just a short drive away. We also caught the train to Edinburgh for the day from the local train station. The property owner, Sue, was wonderful with lots of tips and advice before we arrived and also upon arrival. Communication was great and I know that, if we had needed anything at all during our stay, she would've helped us immediately.
Outstanding cottage well looked after and in good location for visiting the area, walking and eating out.
Second time we've stayed here, which speaks volumes when it's an 800 hundred mile round trip ! !
Duncan
Fabulous cottage with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. The cottage was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Very good communication from the friendly owner & a generous welcome pack which we enjoyed too. Thank you. Great location for walking to Alnmouth and visiting Northumbria. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Andrew
This is a fabulous cottage, immaculately kept and in a great location. It felt like home from the moment we walked in.
Jacqueline
Rose Cottage is lovely, beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean & the owners are extremely helpful & keen to ensure visitors have a good holiday. We had a generous Welcome Pack on arrival & information about local places of interest & beauty. Rose Cottage is ideally situated to visit Alnmouth, Alnwick, Warkworth, Embleton, Beadnell & Amble, close to A1 for further away places
Shelagh
Very comfortable, attractive cottage in a good location. The owner contacted us before our holiday with useful information and we were made to feel very welcome. There is a wide variety of places to visit within a 25 mile radius.
Patricia
A delightful place to stay , very quiet with a convenient village shop and a great location for exploring this very interesting area.
The cottage was simply perfect. It was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, with nice touches, such as the bright cushions, vases and even fresh roses. The kitchen was wellequipped and we ate in more than we had originally intended. We also enjoyed breakfast in the garden. We appreciated the phone call from Sue on our arrival to make sure everything was OK and the welcome pack was the best weve ever had. This is a great location for access to the stunning Northumberland coastline and the town of Alnwick. We shall definitely return.
Lovely cottage in a great location, ideal for accessing the beautiful Northumerland coast with its fabulous beaches and castles. Easy walk straight from the cottage to Alnmouth and only 5 minutes drive from Alnwick. The cottage is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated and has everything you need. Lovely welcome pack on arrival too! We will hopefully be back!
Very well presented cottage, well equipped with surprise welcome pack. Useful information provided by the owner before the stay and on arrival.
