“We stayed in The Beach House over Christmas and New Years and found it one of the best holiday homes we’ve stayed in out of many.”
Arriving at dark after a very long drive to find the house clean and warm was very welcoming! Also great to have the parking space so we didn’t have to drive around looking for one. Although dogs are allowed we didn’t notice any evidence that dogs had been there, which told us the house is thoroughly cleaned.
The layout of the property worked very well, and we felt the house was even better in person than in the photos. The different seating areas included plenty of space for six people ...

The layout of the property worked very well, and we felt the house was even better in person than in the photos. The different seating areas included plenty of space for six people to spread out or get together. The many large windows let in a lot of light and no cold air. The beds were very comfortable, and the showers were great.
The kitchen/dining area meant the cooks could join in with conversations, and we were glad we could close this area off so cooking smells and loud conversations didn’t carry through the rest of the house. The kitchen was well stocked, items previous reviewers requested have been added. There is a filter coffee machine (which we did not use) and a small cafetiere.
The conservatory off the kitchen was useful as a separate space where we could do laundry (the washing machine was clean and worked very well), and store bottles for recycling. There is a small clothes horse. A larger one, or a second one would be quite useful.
A bulb in a wall light went while we were there and Northumbria Cottages quickly sent someone around with a bulb, even though we said it wasn’t urgent. A repair in the kitchen was sorted equally efficiently by the owners and Northumbria Cottages.
We would be delighted to rent this property again because the house was comfortable and suited our needs and the management was efficient and friendly.
