  A Lovely Cottage with Some Disappointments Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of staying at 10 Budle Sands Cottage and overall, it was a pleasant experience.

  The cottage itself is charming and has a lot of potential to be a perfect holiday retreat. However, there were a few disappointments that prevented it from being a truly exceptional stay. Let's start with the positives. The cottage itself is lovely, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The interior design is tasteful and the furnishings are comfortable. The rooms are well-appointed and provide a comfortable space to relax and unwind. The location is also fantastic, with beautiful views and easy access to nearby attractions. However, there were a few issues that detracted from the overall experience. Firstly, the lack of basic amenities such as toilet rolls and tea towels was quite surprising. These are essentials that one would expect to be provided in a holiday rental, and it was inconvenient to have to purchase them ourselves. Additionally, the inadequate supply of cleaning products made it difficult to maintain cleanliness throughout our stay. The outside grey bin being already half filled with rubbish meant we had to find somewhere to dispose of our rubbish on our way home! Another disappointment was the lack of Christmas decorations. We had booked the cottage during the holiday season with the expectation of a festive atmosphere. I had contacted the booking company to ansk if the cottage was going to be decorated annd was told it would be! Unfortunately, there were no decorations or festive touches, which was a letdown. Despite these shortcomings, I must commend the cottage for its potential. With a little more attention to detail and ensuring that basic amenities are provided, this could be a truly exceptional holiday destination. In conclusion, 10 Budle Sands Cottage has the makings of a wonderful holiday retreat. The cottage itself is lovely and the location is fantastic. However, the lack of basic amenities, inadequate cleaning products, including washing powder for the washing machine and the absence of Christmas decorations were disappointing. With some improvements, this cottage has the potential to be a standout choice for a holiday getaway. Disclaimer: This review is based on my personal experience and opinions may vary.

  Staying at Wood Sage was a real treat!

  The accommodation is 5 star all the way. There are so many home comforts and little touches that really do set it apart and place it very highly in the 5 star category. Immaculately clean, incredibly comfortable beds, top quality towels and bed linen to name but a few. The deck area is a complete sun trap and is arguably one of the best postioned lodges on the site. The lodge is ideally situated between Bamburgh and Seahouses and is in very easy reach of the Coastal Path and all of the sites in the area. Very quiet at night and we had the best nights sleeps for years! A fantastic lodge that is more than home from home and will not disappoint. Thank you to the owner who we got to meet, nothing was too much trouble and the goodies on arrival were very welcomed (especially the wine!). No doubt we shall return to Wood Sage.

  This house is beautiful to live in.

  Lovely enclosed garden, spacious kitchen/dining area. Aga takes a bit of working out but you enjoy it when you have mastered it. Beds comfortable and bedding perfect for the temperature. Very handy utility room. Towels were fluffy and great quality. Location good for Bamburgh. Lots of public footpaths to walk safely there or the option to take a beautiful stroll along the beach to the castle. There is also a bus stop just over the road The dishwasher sometimes filled with water after using, but it didn’t hinder us and probably is easily fixed. The local residents were so friendly. We had a wonderful stay and perfect for our family ranging from 11 months to late 60s. Extra care is needed on the staircase and a stair gate if children are younger.

  Very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed.

  Lovely big rooms, bathroom was particularly spacious. Heating was really good, because it was quite warm unfortunately we never needed to use the real fire. Ideally located for everything we wanted to see. Thanks for the welcome pack too. This was undoubtedly one of the best cottages we have stayed in. We also had a slight issue with the parking, despite parking in front of the sign saying the arches. In the end we put both cars in the bay at the front of the house which was fine. Maybe encourage people to do that in the first instance. ( in the end 2 other cars from other cottages parked along that lane so we couldn’t anyway!) Thanks for a lovely stay

  Yes. Liked the cottage & location for the isolation.

  Pity not an enclosed garden as dog didn’t get any freedom. Thought the bathroom was good but a pity it was very short on drying space for towels. Needed a bigger towel rail. Think bathroom potentially an issue for older visitors as no rail to hold on to. Thought the settee & Room carpet a bit tired. Whilst I slept ok daughter thought middle bed not great. Cut my hand drying kitchen spoon. Dodgy handle with metal sticking out! Told Sykes about leak from valley gutter but no acknowledgement. Probably needs looking at - might just be leaf / debris blocking it but had a steady leak coming into bathroom.
