  After travelling from Inverness to my native NE several times a year for the last 19 years to visit family and friends, we have stayed at dozens of holiday lets, but this is our favourite and the best by far.

  Communication with the owner prior and throughout was excellent. So friendly and polite. Earsdon is a lovely little country village and perfectly based for visiting the coast. Having the best of both worlds was especially wonderful as we could take our little dog, who was spoiled for walks. We booked the cottage for 2 weeks over Christmas and it was lush walking in to see it decked out with a gorgeous tree, a garland running up the stair, a wreath and cute little decorations. All very tasteful and in keeping with the stunning decor. It smelled/smelt (never know which it is!) gorgeous too. It was immaculate, and so warm and cosy. This meant so much to me as we’ve walked into some places rated 4&5 star and they’ve been filthy and run down! They left a very impressive festive hamper on the table for us which was so thoughtful and kind. Got tucked into the cheesy crackers straight away. Such a warm welcome. The kitchen is so well kitted out. It even has a crock pot, which we used once to do a curry. We ate out mostly though as there are such nice places to eat nearby (the beehive along the road and 1910 at the Spanish city). I can’t even tell you how great it was to have a tumble dryer! God send. All high end appliances. Lovely comfy beds. So quiet at night! I can’t recommend this gorgeous little cottage enough. Will defo be booking again, delightful. Thank you so much to the wonderful hosts, it would be nice to meet you guys one day! X

  Our stay at Taylor’s Cottage really exceeded expectations.

  We stayed for a month as we needed a temporary base close to family and Northumberland to relax, having just moved back from Europe, and couldn’t have picked a more welcoming place. Check in was super easy, contact free and the owner made sure everything was provided upon arrival. The kitchen was a dream, well equipped, the interiors were extremely tasteful, it was warm, very clean and the bedroom was so comfortable with plenty of wardrobe space. There are plenty of good walks around the area, really nice pubs close-by, groceries can easily be delivered if needed, it is close to Newcastle centre and everything is within reach. It’s rare to stay somewhere that feels like a home, but Taylor’s Cottage did. Every detail seems to have been thought of to make your stay hassle-free. It was very peaceful there, we didn't want to leave and we can’t thank you enough for your hospitality!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Taylor’s Cottage.

  It is very well equipped and the local area is surprisingly quiet and peaceful. It was the best Sykes cottage we have ever stayed in. The owner responded very quickly to a problem - there was no rubber mat to use when showering in the bath, but she delivered one within hours of our request, thank you! Our main concern was the rear patio is not enclosed as described and therefore we could not leave our dog out there unattended (she loves to sit in the garden). The patio opens onto neighbouring gardens and our Labrador took a fancy to the neighbour’s tomatoes! Also, as someone else has previously mentioned, the pillows are much too big. Luckily, we brought our own having read previous feedback. Despite the garden issue, we would probably stay at the cottage again because it was so clean and well equipped with nice quality furnishings etc.

  We stayed at 22a Taylor's Cottage 24/03 till 31/03/2023 as we were visiting family in the Monkseaton area.

  The cottage was in an ideal location & perfect for what we needed. It is well equiped with everything you require for a lovely relaxing stay & the beds were so comfy too. The Red Lion & The Cannon pubs are in the village of Earsdon & offer a lovely selection of food & drinks & we enjoyed a take-away from The Cannon on our last night. Shiremoor & Monkseaton Metro Stations are only 15-20 min walk & ideal for traveling along the beautiful coastline & up to Newcastle. We walked with our 2 dogs to Tynemouth & back via Whitley Bay & Cullercoats & stopped off for coffee & cake along the way. Tynemouth Market, which is held at Tynemouth Station on Saturdays & Sundays is well worth a visit. I would definitely recommend Taylor's Cottage & we hope to come back to visit again soon.

  We stayed here in April and were very lucky with the weather.

  Blue skies in such a beautiful village. The cottage was really comfortable and the welcome we received was so nice with complimentary items provided by the very friendly and helpful hosts. The kitchen is a joy. The beds very comfortable. Whilst the second room does sleep two, it might be a bit of a squash for two adults but would be perfect for two children sharing a large bed. The main bedroom is lovely. There were three of us and it was perfect. There were so many things to do in the area, including a trip to the Farne Islands to see the Puffins and the coastline from Tynemouth to Seaton Sluice is stunning. This is the perfect location. Parking isn't a problem and a local pub provides great value Sunday lunches. For a trip to the North East, this cottage is a must.
