About Catch the Breeze
The Sykes family has been letting holiday properties since the 1970s. It’s fair to say; it’s in our blood. Our experience owning, managing and even cleaning holiday properties led to the family founding and running another successful national holiday home letting agency that still bears our family name.
Today, Catch the Breeze is about pulling on all that experience to offer something incredibly special. We understand the importance of holidays in the UK. And that it’s something that requires a lot of hard work to get just right. We know this because we’re no different. Every year the Sykes family look forward to staying in holiday cottages and the unique experience that each stay brings. We have a genuine understanding of what makes a holiday special, of what creates that all-important sense of belonging and satisfaction that makes you feel: I could live like this.
What our guests say
Excellent house
Mill Farmhouse was an excellent home for our family gathering. Chose it for all the bedrooms having en-suites and big open living area which didn’t disappoint. All staff at Catch The Breeze were very attentive and provided excellent service. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Thank you for a wonderful time away!
The Reading Rooms were amazing - beautifully managed and cleaned by Ben and Janet. All our communication with Catch the Breeze was extremely helpful and we could not fault them.
The location of the Reading Rooms is fairly remote but that was just what we needed with beautiful scenery and walks on the doorstep or a short scenic drive away.
Thank you so much!

Outstanding
Simply the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in.
Clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped. An absolute joy!
Would highly recommend. This was our second visit and we will certainly be back. Thank you.

Wonderful house in a wonderful location
Rock Lobster was the perfect house from which to explore the beautiful Northumberland coastline. As well as enjoying the perfect location overlooking the sea, it offered everything which we needed to make our stay comfortable, in both good weather and bad. The kitchen was well equipped and generously provisioned, the upstairs sitting room and its balcony and view were a particular joy and the bedrooms and bathrooms were quiet and comfortable. As a party of 8 (4 couples) we had plenty of space for both group and individual entertainment - and had a wonderful time. Clare, the letting agent, was extremely helpful and responsive to our occasional minor query.

A Fantastic Northumberland Break
A fabulously well designed and equipped house in the centre of Craster. Stylishly furnished with comfortable beds. Plenty of space for up to 6 people with 3 large bedrooms and 2 modern bathrooms with excellent showers and a downstairs cloakroom/utility room.
Fantastic position in village with breathtaking views of castle and countryside. A couple of minutes walk to the local pub The Jolly Fisherman where we would recommend booking as gets very busy at weekends. Thoroughly enjoyed our walk to the castle and beach beyond. Good parking at front of property. Excellent dog walks nearby. We were sorry to leave and will stay longer hopefully next time.
