About this property
Boasting period features and spacious accommodation, Rosedale Lodge in Alnmouth in Northumberland, is the ideal destination for a family holiday.

This is a room you can imagine guests enjoying spending time in and really getting into the holiday vibe.

There is an unlocked connecting door to the property at the back with a wardrobe in front of it in the hallway. When I complained Sue at Sykes Cottages said sheâd get the matter addressed and call me back, that was last Tuesday and Iâm still waiting to hear from her. Someone attempted to open the door from the other side last Friday , when I went round no one came to the door. Overall not happy with the connecting door set up, lack of garden for a pet friendly cottage and will not return or use Sykes again, bad customer service.

Loved the views from the picture book windows when you wake up in the morning, fabulously furnished, accessorised and equipped and of course in one of the best locations in beautiful Alnmouth. The terrace was lovely to sit on in the afternoon in the sunshine with a cup of coffee but I think the description of garden is misleading. The steep steps up to the property are difficult for someone with mobility problems. Our 2 dogs loved their holiday but the description of garden was inappropriate as the dogs could not be let out even on lead due to the steep drop from the terrace. In the case of my 14 year old dog who struggled with the steps it made it difficult in the early hours of the morning!

Slow response from the letting agent -locally and nationally-as we actually stayed 17th to 24th February 2024 and are still awaiting a reasonable resolution. The property is overall a poor standard except the living room. We had concerns about the property description being misleading including the following: 1. The neighbouring building works had a big impact on us. Not only the daily noise from them, early arrival of large crane (07.40) but also that the drive was blocked on some days by equipment that we had to duck under to get out. My wife's waterproof jacket was ruined by grease from the equipment. On one time, the road was blocked by lorries resulting in a detour of several miles to get to our destination. 2. Cleanliness, particularly in the kitchen, e.g. crumbs and hair in the cutlery tray and kitchen drawers. 3. The patio mentioned in the advert is in fact the path to the front door! This is not pet friendly. 4. There is another property joined to the back of Rosedale Lodge and an adjoining internal downstairs door to that separate property. Although the door is locked and blocked by a flimsy light weight wardrobe, we felt it should have been mentioned in the property advert. 5. The double bed is very uncomfortable and appears old. You sink into it due to the poor condition resulting in us not sleeping very well. 6. The property summary says parking on driveway is available. It also in the same description says on-road parking (confusing but apparently the only parking is in the road. We complained to Northumbria cottages who appeared helpful when we were in Alnmouth . However, we had no further contact after leaving and have had to make contact with the National company-we struggled to get updates on progress with the complaint which was frustrating . However, on 7th March we were informed that the property owner maintained the property description was accurate and concluded that no compensation should be paid by him. Clearly, we are very unhappy about this and the owner has ignored or not accepted any responsibility whatsoever for our concerns which we believe are entirely legitimate. The property description is still misleading as it says parking and that there has been minimal impact from the adjacent building on guests!!!!! I absolutely would not recommend this property and will not be staying again.
