What our customers say about their holidays

  The holiday cottage was beautiful inside and out.

  We were a family 5, 2 adults and 3 children. The house was very clean, was fully equipped with everything. You do not need to bring anything!! Craig has literally thought of everything. When we arrived, we were greeted with milk, teabags coffee and a newspaper and cake. He asked us if we needed anything else and was prepared to bring what we needed but we were ok. He came to see us in the evening to show us round the cottage. He even went out of his way to learn a bit of sign language as my mum and my 12 yr old are profoundly deaf and this made their day. The cottage is in a beautiful peaceful location and is not far from all the attractions. Our favourite place was beadnell beach, it's paradise. kids enjoyed doing nature/ animal hunt in the garden. The washing machine and dryer is a god send, luckily the weather was on our side most days so was able to peg it out. Thank you Craig it was lovely to meet you and thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. We will back again.

  There are points which should be addressed as they spoilt the expected high standard of the accommodation.

  On entry noticeable floor not vacuumed thoroughly. Kitchen bin broken and when moved floor was covered in breakfast cereal. Vacuum was full and when used kept cutting out. When vacuum emptied still only worked for a few minutes then overheated and cut out. We eventually managed to clean the floors. Twin room - The shower had a solid door which opened inwards not allowing an adult above uk size 6 in. Bed side lights one bulb was out the other flickered. Double room ( Sea Breeze) - Shower temperature gauge could not be adjusted. Shower screen leaked on floor. Toilet seat not secure. Master bathroom - Toilet seat not secure. Kitchen - No instruction information for cooker, hob, dishwasher or washer drier. Information package was YEARS out of date. A suggestion would be to have two bins in the house one for recycle.

  We had a great time staying in the Mistal for our holiday and hope to be booking it again for next year.

  The cottage is exceptionally clean and comfortable and has everything you could possibly need even poobags for our dog if needed. The owner kindly left biscuits and milk as well as a vase of flowers for our arrival which was nice. The property is central for coast and country and you can get to the border of Scotland too within a short drive. We were lucky with the weather too but the cottage is a real home from home should you require it in a village which is so quiet the children can play in the street. If you wish to get away from it all and live life in the countryside this is perfect but Alnwick is only a few miles away for all you might need. There is no garden at all here though so take note should you require dog space but plenty walks from the door.

  This is a lovely, peaceful home in a quiet village with a large garden, off-road parking and easy access to the coast.

  Craig, the owner, is very helpful and friendly, and easy to contact if needed. On arrival Craig guided us around the cottage and advised on use of appliances etc. As a couple with no children we found the cottage roomy and comfortable with everything that we needed available. (There were items of equipment available to keep children safe if needed, such as stair gates, high chair etc; Craig has thought of everything). The county of Northumberland is beautiful with numerous opportunities for seeing wildlife and nature, walking along sandy beaches and finding little coves and even castles. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cra-an-ge Cottage and would stay there again.

  Another wonderful week at this cottage.

  It is a real home from home and a lovely peaceful retreat. So comfortable and the owners have thought of your every need there after a day out exploring the countryside as we love to do. My only slight criticism is that you have to strip the beds and empty all the bins before leaving. I could appreciate it during the covid period but that is behind us now. There are only 2 of us so it didn't take long but if you have a couple children and dogs it's alot to do before you get going I'm sure. You don't have to do these chores in alot of places and shouldn't it be for the cleaners to do?
