Lacked homeliness. Needs an air fryer and other kitchen implements. 1 tv to house 8 people no way more needed. Grass had not been cut since the house was built so very difficult for dog poo finding. Not much of an outlook at the front or back

Overall good space for group of 8 however whilst spacious I don’t think it’s necessarily set up as well as it could be. Kitchen is extremely basic with barely enough crockery and cooking utensils. Dishwasher cheap and needed quite often 2 washes as not brilliant! Oven has literally 1 shelf and no instructions. We had to google how to work it. Lounge tight for 8 to lounge. Good tv and fire.Plumbing in upstairs bathroom was a pain with the flush on full flow following every flush. Resulting in us having to use the downstairs one. The owner left zero contact details and only when the Wi-Fi went down we called the recommended contact to have a rude response, we managed to actually have some dialogue with the owner.Def the feel of an investment property rather than the comfort of a home. Positives -Great location with easy access to the NE. Would recommend if you are looking for bed for the night and basic cooking. Garden space great for pets, secure.

Lovely modern cottage with secure garden, great for small children and dogs. It was one of the best places we have stayed. Very clean and comfortable. The location was great for visiting a range of places, Holy Island, Bamburgh, Alnwick, and Berwick. If we came to the area again we would definitely stay here again.
