“We stayed during the week so there were no markets on in the car park to rear of property, so it was extremely quiet.”
The rear of the property overlooks the harbour, beach and Warkworth Castle, which is lovely. Great cottage for a break with dogs, very practical and clean but nothing fancy.
Our only down side would be the boiler being in the main bedroom, it was chilly when we stayed and it switched on and off repeatedly through the night and was rather loud, but not an issue in the summer months. If planning to use the log burner you will need to supply logs as only 2 were supplied, despite a locked log store full in the back yard, we just didn't bother using it as there were barely sufficient to light it.
Overall a great base for Amble and surrounding areas, but be prepared to supply what you need, tea, coffee, milk, bin bags etc there were few basics other than salt and vinegar, again not a big thing as convenience stores not far away and a good size Supermarket up the road.
Thank you for your review,
My response will be somewhat different to most responses. Not at all as a result of your points raised. I am very sorry that the boiler in the bedroom disturbed your sleep, it is new and one of the most silent boilers available. from my Hive app it only fired up and operated on your last night and no other nights during your stay. This has never been an issue In 12 years ,
there is a thermostat that guests can turn up or down the heat to suit their needs.
Heating is set at normal temperatures.I cannot apologise enough for the lack of logs left for the log burner, the housekeepers should’ve left a full log box for you to use. Your review will be forwarded to them. I wish you had telephoned me during your stay. The housekeepers would have come out and restock the log box . The log store is now locked as, unbelievably locals have seen guests filling their car boot with Logs to take away home with them.I am also very sorry that you found a poor supply of basic provisions in the kitchen we aim to leave a basic amount there for guests. However, We have found that some guests take with them when they leave supplies in the kitchen . So cannot guarantee what is available for you on your arrival.
Also health and safety does not allow us to leave open products for guests to use on their arrival. ie Tea and coffee and Any other consumables.We aim to provide a very home from home cosy cottage welcoming to Guests with dogs, unfortunately the bling effect n dogs don’t mix.
Finally Redgate cottage is now for sale. If interested,approach Rook Matthew Sayers .
