The recycling could have been easier to access and notices would have been useful as reminders. Bins in recycling area could have been easier to access too. Separate dog poo bin on site would make it more pleasant for everyone too. It was sad that the cabin opposite us had outside lights on all night so that on the one starry night we had we couldnât see whole sky- as itâs a dark sky county it seemed wrong . Also it would be nice if cleaning stuff was eco friendly as Sykes as a company could be making a difference. Excellent, enjoyable, relaxing stay.

Very clean, everything that we needed, nice touch of bread and milk when we arrived, very cosy and comfortable, ideal base to explore the surrounding beautiful countryside only being a 15 minute drive from Cragside

The one in the photo was a cloth sofa, the one in the cottage was a leather type sofa which was uncomfortable to sit or lay to watch the TV in the evening. Inside windows could do with a clean between the secondary glazing.
