Dishwasher not working . TV problematic. Instructions not clear. No bedside table in back double room. We enjoyed the cottage, its position, the views and the peaceful atmosphere.

Once through the front door this house opens up into an incredible holiday home. Lovely and clean, smells fresh. Front balcony is a suntrap in the morning, then move to the loungeconservatory for stunning seaviews and an evening suntrap. Well equipped but dont forget to take your own bath towels. Amazing place

Lovely house with simple and effective central heating in a superb spot and superb sea views. Great place to bring a dog, a number of different walks and access to a couple of beaches from the front door. Also within an hour of all the beautiful beaches in Northumberland. Boat trip around Coquet Island excellent. Minor point but unable to access live terrestrial TV other than via the Internet. Did mention it when asked how we were enjoying the holiday but noone got back to us.

A beautiful property with amazing views. Location was perfect for walking the dog, only 5 minutes to a small beach. Visited the area many times and one of the best cottages we have stayed in. Very comfortable throughout. Went for my friend's birthday, had a fabulous week, would highly recommend and would love to return.

Fantastic Christmas week at this beautiful cottage. Fully equipped kitchen, warm and the fire was an added bonus. The views were stunning and would definitely return.

We opened the door walked into the kitchen and dropped our bags where we stood! Wow what an amazing.first impression, the photos really dont do it justice! The kitchen was perfect, double doors lead to a very comfortable lounge which in turn leads to the snug, again beautifully appointed and the most breath taking views! We decided to use the back bedroom for the wake up views in the morning so wonderful to watch the fishing boats leaving the harbour! We felt like the only people about as it was so quiet yet only a short walk either by road or along the coast into Amble! Just perfect! Anything you needed was supplied! We will be back next year and would recommend anybody to book!

Some further improvements needed to the bathroom. Still a damaged tap in the kitchen. The location is stunning and what brings us back every year

Fabulous location allowing us access to lots of lovely beaches and towns. We were even able to watch the dolphins in the bay. Just a couple of minor points that have been mentioned...the shower switch is difficult to turn onoff. The plug in the bathroom sink upstairs does not keep the water in..it drains as soon as the sink is filled and the standard lamp shadescould do with a good dust..I think it's been overlooked for a long time. Don't let these minor things put you off booking, it is a lovely cottage that has everything for a lovely holiday.

This was our third stay at Creel Cottage. In a lovely location away from the main town with a dog friendly beach on the doorstep and tranquil sea view. Always clean and well presented and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Will be back next year. Thank you.

My aunt and I had a super holiday at Creel Cottage. The furnishing and environment in the house are to a high standard. Equipment in the kitchen means when we return I don't need to bring items! The different opportunities to enjoy outdoor space Sun Room, Patio and Balcony sweet spots! To soak in the views and sea Air. We loved it and booked again!

Would book again for the location wonderful sea views. Provides peace and quiet, but still walkable to Amble's shops and restaurants. It was also great to have so much space including excellent storage space. I've mentioned a few small feedback points below, but they're not things that would put me off staying again. I feel towels should have been provided Sykes' own messaging says they are provided at most properties. As others have mentioned, it's a bit annoying having to stream, rather than having direct access to freetoview TV channels. Personally, I'd have liked a cafetiere as well as a tassimo. Generally the kitchen is very well equipped! The cottage is very comfortable, but at least one of the kitchen dining chairs was a bit wobbly we ate in the conservatory, which is a lovely light space.

In general a lovely cottage to stay. Very well appointed and comfortable. Just a couple of comments. There is no USB charge points for phones. Wasn't a problem for us as we always carry an an adapter. The other point is lack of lubrication on doors and window fitting. Especially the upstairs bathroom window which won't open or close properly

We love the Amble area but have never stayed at Creel Cottage before. ..... we'll certainly be staying there again though. A very relaxing holiday and the sea views from the cottage are wonderful.

This is a very special place. It is the fourth time we have been and feels like home from home. Will hopefully be back again next year.

Our 3rd stay at Creel cottage and didnt disappoint yet again. Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and the views are to die for. Our happy place

A beautiful property in an amazing position looking out over the sea. Perfect for a relaxing visit to a fantastic part of the Northumberland coastline.

Creel Cottage was very clean and warm when we arrived. It is in the most beautiful location with stunning views from all the rooms. It is nicely furnished and very comfortable. We had no problems with the property during our stay. The cottage is about a ten minute walk into the town of Amble which has a good selection of cafes and restaurants. There are also delightful beach walks from the cottage or from just a short drive away . We were so pleased with our choice of property as it gave us easy access to the most beautiful coastal scenery and was so comfortable when we had evenings in.

Absolutely love Creel Cottage. We have stayed at least 6 times now. Great location and property lay out. Parking a bonus. This stay we felt the cottage needs some TLC. Negatives were problems with tv as no terrestrial channels and general problems with access to programmes broken tap in the kitchen bedding past its best. Would stay again but would hope some of these problems get the attention they need

The cottage was warm, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated with fabulous views. Plenty of storage space in the kitchen and bedrooms. A minor inconvenience for a short stay was the dreadful layout of the large kitchen with the cramped area around the sink, the fridge at the opposite corner to the kettle and some of the doors causing obstructions when opened. I thought 15 preparation knives was a bit over the top. The bedroom door mentioned by others had still not been fixed.

What a wonderful cottage ! Great position with everything you could ever possibly need !we fell in love with Creel Cottage

It is the first time we have stayed at Creel Cottage and in Amble. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was well equipped, with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The position of the cottage with the back of the cottage overlooking the sea was lovely. Also a short stroll away was lovely open grass spaces which our dog loved being taken walks on every day. We would not hesitate to stay at Creel Cottage again.

Comfortable cottage with beautiful views. Quiet location. Very well equipped kitchen. Amble is extremely dog friendly, lots of places to eat out with your furry friend. There are a few issues which have been mentioned before doors still sticking, TV stuck on TV Plus. If you have mobility problems I would not recommend Creel Cottage as the stairs are steep and the treads are shallow.

The cottage exceeded our expectations, the views from the bedrooms and conservatory were amazing. The beds were very comfortable and overall the cottage was well maintained. Just one thing let it down, when we arrived there was only one toilet roll for four of us! So the first thing we had to do was to buy some. Apart from that the cottage was very good value in an excellent location.

This was our third visit to Creel cottage and we've booked for next year so it's safe to say that we love it. The location and views are fantastic and the cottage is comfortable and very well equipped, however as others have noted there are issues with the bedroom doors which need sorting sooner rather than later. The small bedroom door is scraping and damaging the floor and the large bedroom door is extremely difficult to open from the inside so in both cases if you have to get up in the night you can't do it quietly.

Wonderful cottage in a brilliant location. The living space and garden were perfect. And good sized bedrooms with storage too. There were 4 adults and a dog and we found it almost perfect. Two bits of feedback the TV doesnt work properly. No freeview or terrestrial channels at all. Luckily we could stream but it was a bit of a pain. Secondly the direct access from the garden is no longer available. Other than that it was brilliant clean and today lots of space, pretty much everything you need for self catering and plenty of choices to eat out locally.

We had a very comfortable stay at Creel Cottage. It was extremely well appointed, the owners have thought of almost everything. The cottage is perfectly situated in a quiet spot on the outskirts of Amble but within easy walking distance of the town. Parking was also very easy. We travelled to Alnwick by bus and can definitely recommend Barter Books and the Aln Valley Railway. Cragside Estate is relatively nearby and well worth a visit. The walk alongside Amble marina to Warkworth village and castle was a highlight, as was Hauxley Discovery centre. We even took to the air with Northumberland Microlights. One fly in the ointment was the complete lack of information about how to watch terrestrial television. The owners will know which handset to use and how to remove someone elses choice of channels which appear fixed but we had no idea how to do it. This was somewhat frustrating.

The property was great with superb views, and well equipped in an excellent location. However the electric shower pull switch in the bathroom would not operate. The power to the shower is permanently on. Also we couldn't navigate the TV channels. We used BBC iplayer and ITVx all week. The TV guide seems to be stuck on US channels 4108 and we couldn't scroll up and down the guide for live UK TV. Perhaps it was operator error, we are both in our seventies!! We would like to book again next year

Wonderful location right by the sea and short walk to harbour restaurants and beautiful sunsets. Many lovely and interesting places to visit in well under an hour away. Even Hadrian's wall is only an hour. With a cosy and comfortable cottage to return to. Bliss.

Creel Cottage is really lovely and we were disappointed to have to leave at the end of the week! The location is excellent and we loved just watching the wild sea from the warmth and comfort of the beautiful sun room. Our dog loved the heated floor in there too! The cottage was much more spacious than we expected, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The only negatives were the rather cold bedroom and shower room but that didnt spoil a wonderful week away.

We could not fault this cottage. Just beautiful and high standard. We enjoyed our break very much lots to see.

Fabulous New Year break at Creel cottage. Stayed with my husband and elderly parents. The cottage was perfect for our needs, so warm and cosy, and with every kitchen potpanutensil you could need. Lots of space to relax and extremely comfortable. The option to split the larger bed into twin beds was great for my parents, just arrange ahead of arrival. The location looking out to the sea is just stunning, we could sit in the snug forever just watching the waves crashing, and enjoyed long leisurely breakfasts in there every morning. The additional downstairs bathroom with shower was a benefit especially for my parents, although it is very small. Small enclosed garden which was great with the dog, knowing it was safe to let her out. Not too far to walk to pubsrestaurants and shops, and a big Morrisons on the edge of town as well. The coast path goes past the cottages and we enjoyed walks both down towards Hauxley Nature Reserve and up to Warkworth castle and beach. We also enjoyed a day cycling along the National Cycle Route up to Alnwick, Alnmouth and beyond to Boulder. Can highly recommend the local bars and restaurants, everyone was so friendly. And we had the best weather in the country it seems. While we watched the news showing the country being battered by wind rain and floods we had dry and partly sunny days, light breezes and fairly mild weather, with the only rain being overnight..all in all a perfect trip. Wed love to return again to this beautiful part of the country.

Creel Cottage was perfect for our holiday needs! A great location, thoughtful touches regarding our dog, well equiped kitchen, nice and warm, well presented and beautifully decorated for Christmas a lovely touch, thank you! Also, a very handy parking space too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to all.

Our second visit to Creel Cottage. Quite possibly the best all round holiday retreat we have ever experienced exceptionally comfortable beds and sofas a real must, very well equipped, close to local facilities yet feels off the beaten track. The Christmas tree was a lovely touch thank you

Creel cottage is a lovely cosy cottage. Very well equipped. It is in a beautiful position, with lovely views of the coast and coquet island. I m sure we will definitely be back.

An absolutely beautiful place to stay, close proximity to the village but just far enough away to feel isolated! Views of the sea are amazing, especially for us during storm babet! This is one of the nicest, comfortable cottages weve had in the UK, and we cant wait to come back.

Lovely, well equipped cottage. Sea views are amazing. Snug area Brilliant. Would recommend. Will return.

A lovely place in a super position with great views all round. The second time weve stayed here and just love it. Shame the price will be so much higher next year!
