"We had a fabulous time. Crabtree and Crabtree are so easy to book with. The Byre was perfect, thankyou for a lovely chilled out week. Exceeded our expectation." 

"Our stay was excellent. The accommodation was everything we needed; clean, spacious, quiet and relaxing and parking great. The welcome pack was very generous and flowers a lovely touch. So glad it was dog friendly and secure for him. We hopefully will return if available next year."

"We just wanted to say what an amazing stay we have had once again in the Byre. Our third stay and we cant wait to come back again (the fact we keep returning here gives away how much we love it). For us the peaceful and tranquil setting is everything we need. The cottage as ever was so so beautifully clean. From the moment we open the front door we feel like we are back home again. We always leave feeling super relaxed and fully recharged. The brilliant welcome pack showcasing local producers which is a detail I think is so important especially these days. We finally discovered the beautiful Cheswick Sands... absolutely outstanding. Our daughter loved it too and kept asking to go back to the big beautiful empty beach. She loves the Byre because her bed is huge and comfy, the games room and the beautiful view. For the last 8 years we have been using Crabtree & Crabtree as we know that the photos and details are true to the property we will be staying in. Had we been staying with another holiday letting company I would have been very hesitant in the current times about the cleanliness of the property. But having stayed in your lets so many times I knew that we would find a clean and safe home from home experience. We spoke to the couple in the property next door and they echoed exactly the same thoughts as we did. Great locations, beautiful properties, well appointed and so clean. Just to say thank you to everyone involved in the property from the lovely lady who handled altering our original booking from the end of March through to the housekeeping teams who make sure the cottage is as clean as possible. Fingers crossed next year we will be back to The Byre and we will also be able to have a larger family gathering too in one of your other fabulous properties."

"Just to say we had a really lovely time again at The Byre. Everything lovely and so relaxing. We are coming back next Spring to enjoy all over again. Thank you for making it such a special holiday with our dog too."

"Booking was made within 48 hours of arrival, but it was all seamless, thank you. The Byre was a beautiful cottage in a wonderful location, can’t praise it highly enough."

"This was our first visit to Northumberland, and although the weather was rather mixed we were very impressed and I am sure we will want to return to explore more. We were certainly impressed with the way these cottages had been designed, decorated and equipped - very comfortable and well laid-out."

"Really great weekend in stunning location, property and facilities exceeded our expectations, so delighted with all aspects of the holiday rental - intend returning to this delightful spot again later in the year." 

"Myself, hubby and our old pup are just back home from spending a wonderful 6 day stay at The Byre. The booking process and service from Crabtree and Crabtree was excellent as always :-) The owner of The Byre, Corinne was very accommodating allowing us a slightly earlier check in time so we could make the most of our 6 days ( thank you for that) The cottage itself is immaculate, amazing and utterly gorgeous. It is spacious yet cosy and comfortable at the same time. It is exceptionally decorated, very well equipped with anything you would need and is spotlessly clean and tidy. Excellent shower :-), wonderful bedding - so much so I had to take a pillowcase off and see what pillows they had and I have just placed an order for what I hope are the same pillows, they were just so nice. There is also a little card next to the kettle with a list of homemade products you can phone and order. We got a lovely quiche and fruit crumble which was delivered to us. Both delicious :-) We hit very lucky to have a couple of really nice spring days so we had the chance to chill out in the lovely and private, south facing garden. Relaxing with a nice glass of wine doing nothing but watching and listening to the birds was total bliss. The peace, quiet and the whole setting is so perfect, oh and if you are lucky enough to get a clear, cloudless evening !!!! OMG I have never seen so many stars in my life ( and I'm no spring chicken) wow, just wow. We have been very lucky to stay in some lovely places both in the U.K. and abroad but The Byre is up there with the best of them. 6 days and nights of utter peace and relaxation, we have only been home 2 days and already miss being at The Byre."

"Just wanted to say we thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at The Byre and The Barn.  The trip worked out perfectly taking both cottages and everyone had a superb time.  Many thanks and we will certainly be back later in the year."

"We had a really wonderful time at The Byre. The cottage is thoughtfully designed, beautifully presented, very well equipped and of course has all the touches that Crabtree can be relied on for -  lovely bedlinen and towels, comfy bed etc. It felt homely, warm and welcoming - we very much appreciated the farm manager making sure the cottage was lit as we were arriving late – the wood burner was made up and ready to go but in fact the cottage was so warm anyway we didn’t need to light it until the next day. We arrived in the dark so it was amazing to look out and see such an stunning view from our bed! The garden is a lovely space to sit out and to ‘star watch’ in the fantastic dark skies. The games room is a great idea, the generous supply of logs very much appreciated. We were lucky enough to have the best weather you could wish for in November too. It is one of the nicest places we have been on holiday – tranquil and beautiful – it was hard to leave and we will certainly be returning next year. Please thank the team at Reedsford for creating such a lovely place to relax and recharge. The drive to the coast through Ford and Etal is lovely. Any journey is fabulous through such beautiful scenery. The service from Crabtree & Crabtree all the way through was of the usual high standard and added to the enjoyment of the holiday – Thank you."

"We were very happy with the property - an impressive conversion."

"My husband, daughter and I (plus the 2 dogs) had a fabulous time at The Byre, sadly not long enough. A beautifully decorated property, fantastically warm which was so welcoming given the weather we had! Seriously well equipped, clean and a lovely quiet location - so all very positive. Would definitely like to return."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Byre. I have had quite a number of holidays in Northumberland over the years and have stayed in many different places. For me and for what we need – this place is the best. The Byre has been converted to a very high standard, making it feel comfortable and welcoming. The facilities were excellent and everything worked really well. Designed and built to last. The log burner is one of the best and warms the entire room very quickly. There was plenty of hot water. The hostess kindly left a basket of local foods for us. We enjoyed all of these. The walks round here are memorable. We will definitely be coming back."

"We had a wonderful 4 nights in The Byre just before Christmas. We've stayed in several of the owner's properties and enjoyed everyone as she creates such lovely places to stay.  The cottages are beautifully and tastefully decorated and furnished, always in stunning locations.  This was our first time at The Byre but will not be our last...as I've just booked 10 nights."

"A short break of 4 nights for my son, his partner, their baby and me (as hugely proud grandad).Great setting, really well equipped property; conversion and finish to a very high standard. Super bedrooms; the bigger one is really something special. Smaller one (but not small!) is comfy and cosy with adjoining walk-in shower. The team at Crabtree & Crabtree and the owner could not have been more helpful. So tranquil and close to some of the best bits of Northumberland."

"Just wanted to say we had a really fabulous time staying at The beautiful Byre! The barn was perfect in every way and we loved the areas and beautiful beaches and Borders! We are planning to go again and thank you to the owners and yourselves at Crabtree & Crabtree!"

"Thank you – once again we had a lovely break at the Byre – second visit in 5 months. We chose to return as we knew we would be able to relax from the moment we arrived. Everything spotlessly clean as well as warm and cosy as usual. The wonderful views are captivating and add to the sense of peace. The games room is great - used this time for both darts and table tennis!"
