“Apartment excellent apart from the tricky spiral stairs which, as a 87 year-old with dodgy legs, made me very cautious about falling.”
The website showed all the fine rooms etc but not the stairs in any way, nor was there a hint of stairs saying, for instance, that it was a duplex. I had assumed the website was showing everything on the level. I managed with difficulty and some trepedition but overall enjoyed our holiday.Just think somebody even less mobile should be made aware there are stairs.

Thank you for your feedback and we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Baysyde . Regarding the staircase, we have added a note in the description of the cottage to describe the stairs. The staircase isn't a spiral staircase as such but a curved wooden staircase with a handrail all the way down and other guests have not reported issues with the stairs. However we do value your feedback and it may prove useful for elderly guests and/or those with mobility issues to know the difficulties you experienced.
If you decide to stay at one of our cottages again we suggest Riverside Lodge which is also 2 storey but with a much gentler staircase - also with a handrail all the way down. We hope you return to Alnmouth for another holiday soon.
