Miller's Retreat, ALNMOUTH

Rated 5/50 by Fletcherviv on 10th September 2017

"The best cottage we have ever stayed in. So homely and well equipped. The weather we had wasn't the best but avin the cottage to come back to each day and relax with all home comforts was brilliant. Every detail was in place, great instructions of how to work everything and owners couldn't be more helpful. Txted us to let us know as soon as it was ready for us and rescued us when we foolishly locked ourselves out. Would recommend to anyone. Food at the local pub great and Alnmouth village and beach fantastic"

"Just returned from a long weekend in this lovely cottage on the doorstep of the Northumbria coast. The owners were very welcoming and we really enjoyed the welcome gift and card! The cottage itself is well presented with all the amenities you need. The only negatives are the main bedroom is on the smaller side but this wasn't too much of a problem and it is quite a narrow entrance to the parking at the back. Apart from this however I cannot fault the cottage. The local area is amazing having explored the towns and castles along the coastal path - highly recommended."

"It was our first time in a holiday cottage and the first time to use Sykes. I was a little apprehensive as I had seen a couple of bad reviews for Sykes. We had no problems.Booking was easy and they gave us all the info we needed. The place we stayed Millars Retreat was fantastic. It was clean and beautifully decorated. It had all the things we needed to make our stay wonderful. The owners were great. They left a lovely pack for us,and included the children and something for our dogs as well. I couldn't have asked for anything better. When the bathroom light blew they came round straight away and fixed it. I cannot praise the owner enough."

"We stayed at Millers Retreat for a week,the cottage had everything that you could need and more.The village is neat ,and nice and quiet,and within easy reach of the magnificent beach at Alnmouth..The town of Alnwich is a 2.5 mile drive for the supermarkets and places of interest like Seahouses,Bamburgh,Craster and Holy island are not far away.We liked it so much that we have already booked the cottage for 2015."

"We have just returned from a very enjoyable week at this lovely cottage on the Northumberland Heritage Coast. On arrival we were greeted with a bottle of wine and goodies to nibble, which was very welcome after a seven hour journey from Sussex! The owner popped round on the first evening to introduce herself and was very warm, welcoming and helpful. The cottage is clean, cosy, comfortable and very well equipped with everything you could need, and was a real home to come back to after a busy day out and about. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this cottage."

"I would recommend this property because it has everything you need for a relaxing week. Whilst most of the places we wanted to visit were closed for maintenance it didn't matter because it made us slow down and do things like visiting the bookshop in Alnwick and spending time looking at books which normally we don't make time for. Also lots of walks along lovely beaches and good food both in cafes and pubs. All in all a great break. Just what we needed after Christmas"

"The owners were very kind .. from the initial welcome pack (with goodies for humans and dog!) to ready availability to make sure we had everything we needed. The cottage was like a home from home, very comfortable and beautifully equipped. The village of Lesbury is picturesque, and ideally placed for visiting many surrounding attractions, including the nearby lovely beach at almouth. Best liked - the general comfort of the cottage and location. Least liked.. the weather! (but can't blame Sykes Cottages for that!)"

"The cottage was lovely, beautifully clean and decorated. very comfortable and in a lovely village with a very good pub for meals. It was our first time in Northumberland and we were both delighted with everything we saw. Great castles and scenery and Lindisfarne! As ever Sykes came up trumps, with good service and a brilliant cottage. The owner came to visit us and was a charming lady."

"Cottage had all the facilities you need, comfy and well decorated - liked the local map on the wall for planning days out. In ideal location to visit the coast and see the sights. Exceptionally clean and well maintained property."

"Excellent accommodation and very welcoming - even the dog received a welcome treat. Cottage warm and well equipped and everything that we asked for. Excellent hosts and visited after we arrived and just before we left. Lesbury is a fine base for touring and must be superb in the summer. Lots of walking nearby - the Northumberland Coastal Path in particular and the Northumberland beaches have to be experienced to be believed. Alnwick nearby is an interesting historic place and both Newcastle and Edinburgh are in easy reach. We shall revisit soon and recommend the cottage and its owner highly"
