  The house is lovely but a few thing let it down, general maintenance really. There has obviously been a major leek from the bathroom through to the lounge ceiling at some point but the large patch on the ceiling has not been cleaned or painted over and has mould spores on it. Also, just a point , the upstairs bathroom does not have an extractor fan or window which seems a bid odd The back door has some of the plastic hanging offf and sticking out. We did attempt to hoover as suggested in your folder but the hoover had a dodgy plug , (only worked if you wiggled the wire) and it was so full it just dumped what we did attempt to hoover up. We didn’t empty it, when your paying the money we paid I don’t want to start emptying hoovers . The outside would be lovely but we had to weed our way out of the patio doors, the path to the garden was over grown with difficulty getting passed , especially for my 4 year old grandson, more weeding to get through only to find the lawn hadn’t been mown, for some time, looking at it and the top patio was also overgrown. It was however a secure garden for the dogs. We did however have good access to the beach ,which was clear. It is a great family house and a lovely setting with great beach access, just a bit tired and needs a some maintenance. We did have a great time and enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back.

  This is a great house, however, if we were to return we'd like to see some changes.

  The downstairs en Suite is on a raised level and there's nothing to hold onto coming out of the shower, not easy for an elderly person. There's nowhere to hang towels in any of the bathrooms. Could do with a little chair in each of the bedrooms. There was only one very small hairdryer in the house and to add to that only very tiny freestanding mirrors in each upstairs bedroom. Only one shaver/toothbrush charger which was in the downstairs en Suite. When taking plates out of the cupboard, there was at least 3 that had been used and not washed, they were dirty and greasy. The welcome pack was lovely but unfortunately the eggs were out of date so we didn't use them. We ruined a couple of things in the oven as it seemed to cook much quicker than it should despite being set at the right temperature. It also failed to go on one evening but the engineer came out the following day and fixed it although still cooked too quickly. The beds were comfortable and the house had a great heating system so was very warm. The kitchen is spacious and has lots of cupboard space but all the other things would put us off booking again.

  Firstly the property is in an amazing location. Tucked between the local butcher and a pub both of which are really nice. Can't fault the view of the castle or beach access when you walk out the front door. Inside it is set up to accommodate 8 people comfortably with 4 en suite bedrooms. 8 seater dining table and chairs. Lounge space for 8 as well. Kitchen is large enough though some may struggle with size of fridge freezer if planning on cooking every day. We didn't so it wasn't an issue. The snug room was an added bonus. The heating wasn't working in one of the bedrooms but I have no doubt the owners will sort it. They allow 2 exceptionally behaved dogs. Pets are not allowed in the bedrooms or on the sofas. So we ended up putting our dog into kennels as I knew we wouldn't be able to abide by their rules. It wouldn't put us off staying there again. Overall we would highly recommend.

  The Boathouse location was beautiful! However for 7 people there were 2 bathrooms. 1 was en-suite with a shower, bath and hand held shower. The other shared by the rest of the party (6 adults) had a shower, bath and toilet on the first floor. We felt this was inadequate. As the location was practically on the beach , there was a lot of sand and it would of been useful to have an outside hosepipe at the back of the property to clean away the sand of us all before entering the house. The shower was blocked and we had to use a plunger everyday to unblock the shower. We have pictures to show you if needed. (I am guessing the owner is already aware of this as there is a clear water damage stain on the roof of the living room (under the shower)) The pans/oven trays and other kitchen utensils had to be cleaned before able to be used as they where dirty.

  The cottage is in an amazing setting, nestled among the dunes at the foot of Bamburgh Castle so the location is perfect for the beach but is also only a short stroll to the excellent butchers, three pubs and delis in the village. The road on which the cottage is located is quiet at night although it is very near two beach car parks so there is some traffic during the day. The kitchen was well appointed and the sitting room ideal for us to watch the Euro final. The three double bedrooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable. There were only three of us staying so the cottage was fine for us but be aware that if all the bedrooms are occupied by two people per bedroom then as one bedroom is en suite, it means there will be only one loo available (in the family bathroom) for the remaining occupants of the other three bedrooms.
