Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Well stocked kitchen, it has everything you could need. Huge garden if you have a dog. Perfectly situated for visiting the local beaches and coast. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

"This is a really lovely cottage and has a great garden for dogs."
(But if your dog can jump fences it may be a problem) The beds are comfy. There are lots of kitchen equipment Inc bun tin and electric hand mixer ( we baked with my little grandson) It's just let down by the scrimpy thimble sized ( literally) washing up liquid suitable for 2 bowls of washing up !! 3 dishwasher tablets 3 toilet rolls(for a 7 day stay for 6 people) Don't expect a welcome pack either. Never stayed in a cottage at this price point that doesn't provide a welcome pack with a few biscuits or wine or milk, cakes or other provisions, a full sized washing up liquid and at least 7 dishwasher tablets( these things are just a nice touch and would take this cottage up a notch without costing much)Main TV in living area is not very good if you want to watch streaming services.
Would we stay again. Yes because the above are minor niggles and meant as constructive criticism and everything else was really good and the location is lovely too.

"We had a great stay last week a pepper pot cottage it is very well equiped and in a great location to visit the multiple historic sites of the northumbrian region."
The cottage is very warm and relaxing with terrific views from the living room and has a great rear fully fenced garden ideal for the dog to get some air between days out and beach walks. Warkworth town, castle, along the river and the beach are must walking areas whilst your there.

"Have stayed in many cottages and for the price this one didn’t meet expectations!"
Although it was a lovely property, the decor, furnishings and general upkeep was definitely lacking!
Also lack of welcome pack, not even a bottle of milk!
Would definitely not recommend or stay here again unless I was assured the property had been tidied up.

"The property was beautiful."
The views were fantastic and the house was in quite surroundings. The garden was perfect for our dog with a safe location to walk round at night. The kitchen had everything you would need and the bedrooms were spacious. Upstairs was as clean as a whistle but the living room required a going over with a duster and maybe someone to water the plant as we did it while we were there.

"Absolutely lovely holiday home in a great location to explore Northumberland."
The staff we encountered were helpful and responsive. They fixed the dishwasher quickly - you don’t want to be washing up on your holidays! Two minor things - a side table with a broken leg in the lounge tipped over and nearly hit our dog! And none of the batteries in any TV remotes worked when we got there. Apart from that everything was great . The garden and views are brilliant and the kitchen superb and is well equipped.
We had a good holiday here as a family and I would recommend to others.

"This is our second stay at The Pepperpot."
The cottage is well equipped for everything you’ll need and is well located to explore the surrounding area. There really is so much to see and do during the day and relax back at the cottage in the evening, watching the sunset. Whilst I wouldn’t hesitate to return for a third time, we did notice that the wine fridge was still broken from last year and things like the sofas and some of the bedroom furniture is looking a bit tired now. When we arrived we also felt the level of cleaning was not as good as the previous year; the windows weren’t too clean and had marks on most likely left by a previous four legged occupant

"Stayed at many holiday cottages, this one was right up there."
All needed for great stay and refreshing attention to detail and a high spec in general .Great views at rear and location for all the local sights. Hope to return one day soon. One negative though i am afraid and a bad one at that with agents. There was a broken light switch in master bedroom. It was dangerous and could have potentially have given us a shock when using it . I received voicemail on first day of stay (Saturday 30th March) from Sykes saying they had been made aware of it by housekeeping prior to us arriving and would be sorted out next week. I rang Sykes straight back and said id had this voicemail but was URGENT, explaining why, and needed attending too immediately. No one come to fix over the weekend or indeed the next week as stated in voicemail either. It was same ( broken) when we left following Friday. For this lapse level of service and also being a H&S issue id rate them as an agent 0/10

"Probably the most well equipped and comfortable cottage we have stayed in."
Situated on a farm complex with a number of other holiday cottages and residential properties. There was everything we could have needed and it was so peaceful and relaxing. Fabulous views from the rear of the cottage. Great space for dogs as the garden is fully enclosed, although if you have a very big dog or one that can jump quite high, they would possibly be able to jump over the fence. The cottage was clean and very comfortable, especially the beds. It’s an ideal base for sightseeing and returning back to a lovely cottage in the evening with a real fire for any chilly nights. Would recommend the Masons Arms pub in Warkworth for superb meals, especially the steak and ale pie but beware, the portions of pie are not for the faint hearted!! They are also very dog friendly. The Cook and Barker at Newton on the Moor is also another great dog friendly pub. Cragside and Rothbury are well worth visiting and a visit to Rothbury family butchers for their cragside cracker sausages are a must! Can recommend Turnbull’s butchers if you want to eat at the cottage. Great meat and various pies etc. A visit to Holy Island is definitely worth it if the tide times work for you. We had the best crab sandwiches ever there and there’s a fabulous little art gallery with the artist, John Tierney in residence. We bought another of his pictures and it was great to have another chat with him. The cottage is just up the road from Morwick ice cream dairy and we can certainly recommend this! We also recommend a visit to Amble, Warkworth, Morpeth and of course, Alnwick. So much to see and do and what better way to do this than having a lovely cottage to stay in. We could have happily stayed for longer and will no doubt be booking the cottage again.

"The Pepper Pot is an amazing place to stay and we all felt instantly at home."
There is so much space in the property and the garden and views are fabulous. A problem with the travel cot provided was quickly remedied, for which we were very grateful. The only slight suggestion I would have is regarding the baking trays for the oven. Most of them were too large to fit onto the shelves and it would be helpful if some suitably sized trays could be provided. That aside, we could not have had a better stay and we would highly recommend this gorgeous property, which is perfectly located for exploring all the beauty that Northumberland has to offer !

We contacted the local office re toilet rolls and oven - and it was sorted that day - we did it discover the dirty frying pans until Wednesday evening - so had to get the scourers out before could use…not happy .. we also reported the other issues so the office were aware and they did apologise We were disappointed and our expectations were not met, albeit the list appears to be little things it all adds up when you want a stress free relaxing holiday.

The property
Warkworth 3.1 miles.
Resting on a farm estate just a few miles away from the delightful village of Warkworth in Northumberland, The Pepper Pot is an impressive barn conversion which is the ideal destination for a family holiday.
Boasting simply superb views over open countryside, The Pepper Pot offers a calm and restful sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and yet is close to a wonderful range of activities and amenities.
The bright and airy sitting room has delightful wood flooring, a comfy seating area, an attractive woodburning stove and floor-to-ceiling windows and a patio door letting in loads of light and offering captivating rural views, which all add up to create a really pleasant place to sit back, relax and enjoy spending time.
The spacious kitchen is sleek and stylish and is fully fitted with everything needed to whip up delicious food.
Pull up a stool at the breakfast island, pour yourself a drink and keep the designated chef company.
Adjoining the kitchen, is an elegant dining area with a rustic dining table and chairs all set up ready to host long, sociable meals together.
Outside, there are extensive gardens to the rear which are just perfect for children (and any pets!) to run around safely while the adults can relax on the patio area and enjoy spending time alfresco.
After all that fresh air, it’s time for bed so make your way to any of three wonderfully appointed super-king-size bedrooms, where you can sink into sumptuous beds and look forward to a relaxing sleep.
Waking up in the morning and you get to soak up the sights and sounds of the countryside, so after a refreshing shower and morning coffee on the patio, you’re ready to get out and start exploring.
As well as miles and miles of stunning countryside to walk and hike through, the charming coastal village of Warkworth is close by, which is known for being home to the dramatic ruins of a 12th century castle.
Its link to the past continues with the village’s selection of antique shops and galleries and it also has a beach and a golf course.
Attractions in the area worth visiting include Hadrian’s Wall, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island, the Farne Islands and Alnwick Gardens.
Other beaches nearby worth packing a bucket and spade for include Alnmouth, Cresswell, Embleton and Newton Haven.
Enjoying an idyllic rural setting, The Pepper Pot promises guests a relaxing and memorable holiday stay.
The fence height is around 1 metre, with chicken wire or wooden uprights on the fence so dogs cannot get through.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
