  Premium price, less than premium experience.

  It was a good location, and on the surface, looked good. There were maintenance issues including - flashing kitchen lights; flashing /not working rt hand light over bathroom sink; hot tap on bath had to be held to turn on and off - not good when it was hot; button on bathroom sink hot tap detached; grey settee in front lounge - spring gone? - down at one side; general rubbish bin outside - totally full on arrival. Cleanliness - downstairs loo very offputting, even after several flushes with what looked like faecal stains; plenty of cobwebs and dust etc along skirting by bed/back of bedside cabinets, suggesting inadequate cleaning; on arrival - black bits in bath - may be blown in if window had been opened, but as you would have to stand in bath to operate the window, obviously the muck was just left - also on shelf between cistern and toilet bowl. Bad staining on mattress protector on queen bed. Minor points - the kettle is very heavy for anyone who is not super fit in upper body. Kitchen blind over the sink hopeless for anyone under 5'5 to reach and pull up/down. Shower lethal - bath mat would be helpful to be obvious. Those issues are about the cottage. In what was not even a full week with a clear message early booking in was out of the question, it felt like being short changed to receive a message when it was too late to react to say the cottage was available earlier. Never had any of theses issues with Sykes before. Very disappointed.

  Whilst the property is in an excellent position and the views from the lounge dinning/kitchen area are wonderful the other parts of the property somewhat fall short.

  The house looks tired and in need of a redecoration, the twin bedroom on the first floor,the paint work on the walls are marked and looked grubby. The small single bedroom didn't actually work for us, the window wall and window was showing signs of mould.And It wasn't possible to leave the window open in the room as the fumes and smell of oil was coming in!our son that who was supposedly staying couldn't stay in the room and slept in the lounge! The spa shower in the bath didn't work. The toilet on the third floor wasn't really suitable unless you were under 4,6 feet in hight,or you were a contortionist and didn't mind burning your head on the ceiling light. The staircase up to the third floor in my opinion was a bit dodgy, it has a single hand rail on one side which wasn't the issue. However the stair riser on the left hand side purtrudes above the floor level and is a trip hazard. As I said previously, the position of the property and the views from the lounge are excellent, but the rest of the property let's it down.

  Location great and owners superb. But, it’s a tight squeeze and we had four adults and two children - kitchen door won’t open if you’re in the fridge for something lol and once. Dishwasher and drains broke and blocked all week and the front door is dodgy to lock but they’ve been reported so hopefully be fixed soon (although we waited all week) - not the owners fault at all, they really tried to help Once you’re sat for dinner you’re in, unless everyone moves, it’s very tight - Photos must have been done with fish eye lens lol. Super clean and lovely welcome though. Great location. Expensive for what you get - and we do this area twice a year but it was Easter…maybe that’s why so expensive . Floors all laminate down and upstairs without lining so it’s an echo-y house. Every. Single. Step. Can be heard in every room no matter where you are. The owner really was lovely but I wouldnt star again. Have put a no to recommend but if there’s only 4 of you, it would be a yes to recommend.

  First and foremost, the location of this property was perfection for us; Fantastic views, proximity to shops & restaurants (1minute+) and great walks from the door.

  For that reason we would definitely return. Would-be renters should however, be aware that this property is on three floors and if mobility is in any way an issue, the stairs to the top floor (King-size bed) could be challenging. Also, you are two floors up from all the other bedrooms! We have teenage kids so they were happy for the space!! The property is generally well equipped although there were no books/games/puzzles (that we could find?) for rainy days. Property was really cold when we arrived but quickly warmed up with easy-to-use thermostat. Be really careful with the garage door buttons; our son accidentally pressed the large square button to the left of the light switches in the garage and hit our car parked outside! Not the greatest start to the holiday but no real harm done! Overall we really liked this property as the small negatives were vastly outweighed by positives. We hope to return again soon :))

  Definitely recommend this property. 5-10 minute walk to Seahouses village and the seafront and 15 minute walk from an amazing beach. The house had everything we needed. The weather was terrible at times as you expect in April, but the log burner along with the radiators made the house lovely and warm. The Garden is lovely and its a shame we couldn't enjoy it more due to the weather. This is a really good base to visit lots of attractions in the area. We were a family of 2 adults, 3 children & a dog. The property is plenty big enough. We could park right outside the property which was ideal. The owners left a binder with useful information in, and it was really useful, pointing us to local attractions, pubs and walks. We would definitely use this property again.
