“A really well-equipped and spacious house superbly located in this charming coastal village.”
However, for a house this size, a single (and small) shower is not adequate, Moreover, it leaked through the floor below and was blocked when we arrived. Would benefit from hand soap in bathrooms (mentioned in previous reviews), an explanation on how the central heating works (I had to google the control unit), clearer bin putting out instructions (alleyway?) and a glass recycling point in Alnmouth. A huge plus was the responsiveness of the NCCC/Sykes staff who quickly turned up to provide the high chair that we'd requested (but wasn't there on arrival) and sort out the shower.
Thank you for your feedback and firstly we are really glad to see that you had a good holiday. We are in absolute agreement with you on the shower and are looking at how we remodel the bathrooms. Fairhaven is popular and often heavily booked so getting a time slot to get a remodel done on the bathrooms is challenging and something that we are planning for next year. In the last two weeks we have experienced this particular issue with the shower and the property has been closed to complete this essential maintenance – we’re very sorry you experienced this problem while you were visiting and very glad NCCC was able to assist you. Thank you for the hand soap suggestion - we have now arranged for that to be provided in both bathrooms and the kitchen. During the summer we had amended the instructions for the bins but clearly this isn’t working so I have asked NCCC to revisit this and ensure it is clearer. The NCCC team have also since added the heating instructions to the information pack. Glass disposal is something we are reliant on the council for however we are also investigating how to provide more convenience for guests. We are so grateful for your constructive feedback so that we can take action, thus assisting future visitors.
