Guests say
Seashells in Newbiggin by the Sea is a well-equipped, comfortable cottage just a short stroll from the beach and local amenities. Guests consistently praise its cleanliness, cosy beds, excellent showers, and dog-friendly features. The property is ideally located for exploring Northumberland and offers convenient parking. While most reviews are highly positive, a few mention dated décor and outdoor areas needing some attention. Overall, Seashells provides a welcoming and enjoyable base for a seaside holiday.
Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with guests describing the property as very clean, tidy, and well maintained. Only one or two reviews mention minor issues with outdoor areas, but the interior is consistently praised.
The location is a standout feature, with almost every review noting its proximity to the beach, promenade, and local amenities. Guests appreciate the easy access to both the sea and the wider Northumberland area.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with many guests mentioning comfortable beds, cosy lounges, and a warm atmosphere. A few minor comments about décor do not detract from the overall comfort experienced by guests.
Facilities are generally excellent, with well-equipped kitchens, good showers, and dog-friendly extras. Some guests note that the TV and outdoor seating could be updated, and a couple mention the décor as dated, but these are outweighed by positive feedback.
Several guests mention welcome packs and thoughtful extras for both humans and dogs, which were much appreciated. Please note, however, that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Maddie my dog and I had a lovely week at Seashells. The flat is very comfortable and clean in a great location just two minutes from the sea front. The off road parking was a bonus. I would happily return to this property in the future.

Shower fantastic but in general the decor and outside seating and yard in fact all save the shower and the bedroom need an update or refresh. The yard has weeds. The outside seating just isn't nice to sit on. The decor is not up to cottages usual standard.
