“Gorgeous property, beautifully decorated, perfectly located.”

- Joanna, October 2023
Paul September 2023

“A superb location with a marvellous view and a lovely garden.”

We had a wonderful stay in estuary View. Slightly surprised to find no welcome pack, not even a pint of milk. This house is so well equipped and in good order. Thank you so much.

“This was an amazing property to stay in, everything was just perfect, cooking in the kitchen was a joy, napping on the sofa on a rainy afternoon was bliss.”

The comfort, the views, was just top notch. It’s a long time since we have stayed anywhere for two weeks, but I can honestly say we could have stayed longer. Thank you so much. We will be back

“We really enjoyed our stay in Alnmouth - a beautiful little town and fabulous beach.”

Estuary view was really well equipped, with comfortable beds and lots of places to relax and hide away if you needed to (including in the amazing garden with views across the estuary). The kitchen and utensils could have been cleaner and getting from the road to the parking space was especially tortuous, which should probably be highlighted in the description as it really doesn't suit larger cars. Aside from that though, we had a very enjoyable holiday.

“We loved the house, ideal for our yearly family get together.”

Everyone enjoyed the house and garden and we immediately rebooked for next year.

“The only reason I didn't give five stars for the accuracy of listing was that I think perhaps more could be said about just how difficult it is to access the parking space.”

We were very glad we came in our car rather than our friend's ( who we were sharing with) much larger car. But apart from that the house was a delight. Everything we needed was provided, the views and the garden were glorious and the house full of interest and colour. It was immaculate and extremely comfortable. We would return in a heartbeat. Our only other suggestion was that we would have loved the table by the window to have leaves so it could seat four . It would be lovely to eat there.

“We love the house & hope to return.”

Quirky & comfortable. Really well equipped. Fantastic views & location. Only thing - we arrived late after work in the dark & the directions to find it on Lovaine Terrace are terrible - we got to number 4 & thought we'd booked somewhere that didn't exist - really stressful arrival! Better directions & better information about the parking are needed before arrival please. Also some information between website & cottage is out of date. But it was a lovely holiday in a lovely place, thank you to the owners for the use of their beautiful house.

- Karen, March 2023

Eeek, I'm completely mortified to hear about the difficulty finding us - I am so sorry! Yes, of course we'll work with the agency and make sure there are better directions to guests in future - it's not something we do ourselves, so I'd never even thought about it before. Thank you for flagging it up! I have to say you were a joy to clean up from afterwards - our cleaning ladies both said the place was left spotless. Thank you so much for being a lovely visitor - I hope we'll meet you on Alnmouth beach one day! Best wishes, Hellen Property Owner

“Staying in one of the coloured houses was a wonderful experience.”

We had not realised they were such a local land mark. The location couldn’t have been better. The house was very well equipped.

“Clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped.”

I liked the strong colours, the quality of fixtures and fittings and the abundance of books which implies a generosity not always evident in holiday properties.

“This was our second short break at Estuary View.”

It was good to see that regular maintenance takes place, and upgrades to the facilities. The space works well for our party, and the facilities are very good, we could find most things we needed. It's a home from home.

“The best holiday cottage I have ever stayed in.”

Clean, very well equipped, interesting and comfortable decor, beautiful views, a generosity and trust by the owners who provided many good books etc. Also a comprehensive selection of local literature. Lovely garden but we never got there thanks to the weather!
