What our customers say about their holidays

  Tomeg is a lovely terraced house perfectly located for all the amenities of Amble.

  The house has three bedrooms with very comfortable beds and a lovely large bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle. The living room could possibly do with an extra chair for the fifth guest but we managed. The kitchen was ok but I would have liked a dishwasher and tumble dryer and perhaps some small drinking glasses as there were either wine glasses or tumblers. I did have to buy a roasting tray as theirs was tiny so I’ve left it for future guests. Parking at the rear of the property was a bit of a challenge but I found driving in forwards and reversing out of the narrow path worked for me.The neighbours all parked considerately so it wasn’t a problem. Tomeg is on a main road but we didn’t have any noise problems and there’s a Co-op literally over the road. All in all we had a lovely stay in Amble which is a beautiful village that really comes alive on Sundays when the market is on. Warkworth Castle is worth a visit and is only just over a mile away from Tomeg so you can walk along the banks of the river Coquet which has amazing views. Alnwick, Bamburgh and Holy Island are all within an hours drive too. We had a great holiday and would definitely return.

  We liked the tasteful design and high specification of Tower House. We are great fans of a Super Kingsize bed so tend to ignore those that don’t have them. Obviously to convey that information, the website requires plenty of good photos and a detailed description of what is on offer and that is what yours achieved. The information provided at the house was first class: full, informative and well-presented.  The welcome basket covered all bases. Good variety of products. After an eight hour drive the wine and beer were a nice touch! Bread and butter is a must, and also milk. Chocolate and biscuits went the extra mile. Sometimes you can get a welcome basket where the cheapest of everything has been provided: this was the opposite.  We really liked the high specification of the decor, fixture and fittings. White company towels and toiletries; Denby kitchen ware. Comfortable beds. Good quality bathroom fittings.  We have been visiting high spec cottages in the UK for at least ten years and this was the BEST YET.  Oh and this was the first time we have received a follow-up call after we arrived to ensure all was okay: that was a nice touch!

  We loved our stay in Tomeg.

  The house is clean, ideally placed (The Wellwood Arms, Masons Arms, many takeaways and shops are only a short walk away) and had everything we needed for a 2 week holiday. The rooms are of a nice size and I'm not quite sure about the noise warning as this was quieter than another place we have stayed in Amble! The conservatory is a nice addition (and a good place to dry the washing / swimming stuff). The smart TV was a pleasant surprise so you can log into your streaming channels for those quiet evenings in. The only real negative about the house is actually a positive. The parking out back is (very) tight for an estate car (we have a Toyota Corolla Tourer Sport) and it does take a bit of work to get it in and out. However, this is a positive in some ways as street parking is also at a premium in Amble and I would rather have it this way than not having a guaranteed spot. Finally, all communication with the owners was answered promptly and professionally and I can not find fault in anything about the house an owners. Thank you Petra, Katherine (and Moira) for letting us stay in your lovely house.

  Lovely cottage.

  Very well equipped. Beds were comfortable and everywhere was very clean. It is a pet friendly home but you really wouldn't know this. The parking as in the description was very very tight and I only have a Polo, however we actually only moved the car once in the week we were there as we took advantage of the £2 bus fares on most days. The bus stop to Alnwick is about 40 steps from the house (slightly more steps on the way back!). The only one thing I would mention (and I did leave a note for the owner), is that the back garden is completely overgrown. It may be the owners are going for a "no mow" area, but there was nothing to suggest that, and I think the path from the back door to the parking area should be clear. On rainy days you get very wet legs! I think it would be almost impossible to clear up after a pet without going on hands and knees! All in all though a very enjoyable stay. I would definitely return because of the location and facilities.

  Positives - The location of the property is excellent for access to the amenities in Amble of which there are plenty.

  Also a good location as a base for exploring surrounding areas. Private parking available at the rear of the property was accessible and there was also the option of parking on the front. The property was well equipped as advertised. Negatives - The kitchen hadn't been cleaned to the standard we would normally expect. There were crumbs and a plastic cap from a bottle under the microwave. One of the pans in the cupboard was excessively greasy, and we note this is the same as mentioned in a previous review. Also in the kitchen some "boxing in" of pipework looked like it was in need of repair. The sofas in the living room are not very comfortable and well past their best. The main bedroom had some decent sized cobwebs which clearly had been there for a while.
