  Lets start positive.

  ...Great location!!! Plenty of drawers and hanging space in downstairs bedroom. Bedding and towels spotless. Kitchen really well equipped but some crockery needs replacing as really scratched and some chipped. We had to buy flutes for prosecco and there were only 4 wine glasses none that matched (we are comparing this to a sykes cottage we stayed in earlier this year) Good to see an EV charging point Downstairs bed not comfortable and pillows very high and hard. Pillows also hard and high in twin bedroom. Our other guests in the upstairs double had no complaints. This is a personal preference but it is tricky watching TV after someone has retired for the evening as the seating area is directly underneath the bedroom. I dont think the lounge seating area is adequate or comfortable for 6 adults and the concrete hearth was an awful trip hazard. Lots of black mould in downstairs bathroom around the bath, loose toilet seat in downstairs bathroom One of the blinds was completely broken in the upstairs double bedroom and we had to buy black bin bags and tape to do a makeshift blind but it kept falling off because of the heat (weather is not your fault). The clothes maiden could do with replacing and we did not have pegs for the washing line I dont really think the garden space is comfortable. There is a large dead tree in the corner which needs removing We took photos of the blind in the bedroom and also of a couple of filthy greasy trays that had been left (we did dishwash them but I ended up buying a new tray). Happy to share the photos if you can provide email address Hope this helps Kind regards

  We loved our stay at Seabreeze and would definitely book again.

  It’s a great size with a wonderful garden in a great location. There are lots of little touches to make it family friendly, including children’s books and games as well as high chairs and plastic plates/cups. The rooms are very spacious and the gas hob is a big bonus. There were stunning views of the sunrises and sunsets and you can even see the sea. There was also the lovely little touch of a box of chocolates and bottle of wine on arrival, thank you! The cottage is a bit tired in places and could do with a general maintenance inspection for improvements - the footstool in the living room needs reupholstering as it’s clearly been scratched by dogs. The kitchen utensils could also do with an update and the glass turntable in the microwave is too small so doesn’t turn properly. A lot of the games were missing pieces or broken so could do with a sort out. And a deep clean of the rug/sofas in the living room would be a good idea as it smelled of wet dog. Hoovering got rid of the smell slightly, but a proper clean is needed. I would also suggest providing at least one spare toilet roll in each bathroom and making sure the hand soap is refilled. However, as I said, generally the cottage was brilliant and everything we needed for our holiday. Even with the minor maintenance issues it’s a lot better than many other cottages I’ve stayed at in the area and I’m genuinely considering booking it again for next year!

  Lovely property in a great location, easy access- walking distance to some of the best beaches in Northumberland and the best crab sandwiches at the Ship Inn. The property was large and comfortable, great built in oven and microwave and fabulous to have a gas hob. Plenty of plates/cutlery/glasses (perhaps too much, difficult to keep track of cleanliness with so much stuff available). The property was lovely and warm and very quiet. The only thing that let the property down was the cleanliness. The floors needed a good clean, thick dust in the corners and cobwebs hanging from the walls in the main bedroom. The bathroom was disappointing, black mould around the bath and shower door. I had to clean the shower head before we could use the shower to remove all the mould. The bottom of the shower door is missing allowing water to escape all over the floor making it very slippery. We booked this cottage for the enclosed garden for our dog. Unfortunately the grass was so long she couldn’t use it and we had to take her on the village green out the front for her to toilet. The grass was cut on the Thursday, far too late as we left on Saturday.

  The cottage had the following issues; 1.

  The central heating was poor. The system was powered by a dual fuel burner in the living room. The burner was dirty, filled the house with dust when cleaned out & failed to heat the house, even when burning well. The upstairs radiators never went past tepid. The fact that the downstairs was fitted with electric heaters that were locked at 10 degrees, proved that the heating system was not fit for purpose. 2. The shower room was freezing cold, as it was only fiited with an electric towel rail which never got to a point where it was hot to the touch. Also the electric shower (which did work) was not powerful enough to heat the air whilst you had a shower. So showering was an unpleasent experience. 3. The decour was tired and the bedding that was provided was only fit for summer use. Also the matresses were uncomfortable and sweaty. 4. The television was smaller than the one shown in the listing. 5. The listing claimed that the cottage had WiFi. This was untrue, there is a landline but no modem. 6. The house was not clean, certainly not to a standard you would expect having paid £1065 for the week.

  A week here was thoroughly enjoyed.

  Below is the Pros & Cons which we have gathered while staying here. Pros: Comfortable Beds Pet friendly Well equipped (Washing Machine) Enclosed garden Easy access to top sights in Northumberland (Transport Required) but not too busy in the local area Nice view from the top windows Private parking on site (plus electric car PodPoint) Cons: Some Decor needs updating; paint marks, scratches and broken ornaments etc. bird poo on lounge focal point canvas & chipped crockery No toilet roll holders Blind in upstairs bedroom broken (woken up by bright sunlight daily) Living room furniture only big enough for 4 Cleanliness could be a little better Water pressure isn’t the best (only good enough for one shower etc) Shower head needs changing Bin bags are cheap and broke when moving Label bins to show which is recycling Upstairs bed sticks out too much to walk round (because of the sloping roof) so be careful of your shins getting hit All in all a nice week here and with these cons being addressed we would gladly stay again. :)
