  Had an absolutely lovely long weekend with friends at Rosedale House.

  The property was perfect for the needs of our group and felt like a proper 'home from home' - a warm and welcoming space where we could all relax together in the evening after days out exploring the coast. The location is perfect - just a short stroll across the green, down to the sea or 5 minutes walk into the town centre. The rooms and communal spaces are comfortable and the kitchen is very well-stocked with utensils and crockery - plenty of space for cooking dinner for five. We would definitely rent this property again. The only reason we haven't given it 5 stars is because the lighting in the kitchen is a little bit too dim and that made it difficult to see when cooking. Unfortunately the light in the over-hob extractor also wasn't working. I'm sure this is less of a problem in the summer when there's plenty of natural light but in winter we were mainly cooking after dark, so a bit of extra wattage would have been very useful! I've said 'no' to publishing the feedback, mainly because I didn't want our complaint about the kitchen lighting to be published. It was a minor issue in what was otherwise a really great stay.

  We love Rosedale House and this was our third stay.

  However on the previous two occasions under the original management company the property has been spotless on our arrival and this time it was not. We do not believe many of the horizontal surfaces had seen a duster in weeks. There was only one "soiled" tea towel (we had taken our own) and an oven glove had dried on food. The frying pan should be replaced as it was dirty and we were unable to clean it satisfactorily There were only 5 dinner plates for 6 people! We took our own but there were no dishwasher tablets, just an empty box, and a couple of washing machine tablets would also have been welcome as would a better scourer and sponge. Scissors would be a useful addition to the utensils too and we could not find a broom. The top bathroom toilet seat requires attention.

  Kittiwake is the perfect holiday home for a family with children (of any age at all - toddlers to teenagers) with grandparents and also with a dog. You would be hard pushed to find a better location and the loveliest of views (when the fret clears away) Communication prior to the holiday was superb. The welcome basket was a lovely touch. Even the neighbours were fabulous. Top tip while Covid restrictions continue - book any meals you want to go out for before you arrive in Northumberland and if you want to go to National Trust properties/gardens book them in advance too. One last thing - there was a stunning barn owl that we were lucky enough to see swooping and soaring throughout our stay at Kittiwake - hope you’re lucky enough to see it too.

  The owners were very helpful.

  Lovely people. The house is great. Everything we needed was there. Only issues we found were that the bathroom radiator did not work properly and the floor in there whilst lovely is chilly on the feet. The shower in main bathroom also did not drain very well. We could not see any reason for this. The road outside is heavily potholed so take are driving in. It is in a great location very close to beach. Its also very quiet. We had a lovely Christmas and thank the owners who allowed us in an hour early. Its a lovely place with everything you need. Fantastic for families as very large! On edge of village. Morrisons not far away and Coop in village. Short drive to Alnwick. Warkworth Castle well worth the vist.

  We enjoyed our stay at rosedale.

  The cottage has all you need for your stay. It was clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable so we slept well. It is in an ideal position for Amble fish Quay and beaches, and the surrounding area. There are a lot of steps if you are staying on the top floor,(which is mentioned in the description) also there were no decent mirrors on the top floor, even in the bathroom. The radiator in the 1st floor bathroom does not work, and had been mentioned in a previous review.. The access road is very uneven and potholey and needs addressing (I had a new car and it was annoying having to manoeuvre around the holes) . The issues I have mentioned spoiled what could have been a excellent stay.
