Stones Throw

The property was comfortable and a great location.

We found that there was a very, very strong dog odour in the property. It hit you as you went into the property. The rugs smelt and the sofa smelt really strong of wet dog. The sofa was not very clean, there was dog hair over it, inbetween the seats. Huge lumps of dog hair kept coming out between the sofa cushions. Not ideal with allergies. This was dissapointing, however I appreciate that the owners advise customers to keep their dogs off the furniture, unfortunately some don’t adhere to these rules. There was a little mold in the en-suite bathroom and we couldn’t get the heated towel rail to turn on. Overall this is a comfy and homely accommodation and well equipped. The welcome packs were a lovely touch too. Great quiet location and ideal for the beach.

Fantastic property.

Location was perfect lovely and peaceful. So close to the beach and local pubs/cafes. Everything you need was supplied and very comfortable beds. Will definatley be returing.

Mattresses in the bedrooms were a little uncomfortable but we realise that can be personal preference.

Other than that the accommodation was absolutely fantastic. Great location and facilities and generally a credit to the property owner.

We had a wonderful stay at Stone's Throw.

The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach, local pubs and cafes and the village shop. It's also located perfectly between Alnwick and Bamburgh, meaning everywhere we wanted to go and in between was accessible. The property itself was lovely, with the rooms well decorated and clean, the kitchen well equipped and the living room very comfortable. In an ideal world, we'd have liked a little bit more space as you arrive through the door - a boot room would be ideal for wet and sandy shoes. We had a great stay and would have no hesitation in staying at Stone's Throw again.

Lovely house very clean and everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Great place, perfect location and really comfortable.

We had a fabulous stay and would happily stay again.

Overall our experience was great, plenty of space as we have a big dog.

( and it was a 3 bed bungalow) Kitchen was very well equipped.Oven could do with a clean, one tray especially but it was near end of season and been fully occupied every week.There was a halogen hob which was easy to clean,but prefer gas hob. There was a slight smell in living room, but we are non smokers( knew smoking was allowed when we booked last minute) The tv was huge, bit too close in the room( sure some people loved it!) Bathroom and shower room excellent. Good location, easy to walk to beach and village.

The first impression of the property was excellent.

It is very tasteful and very comfortable. The location is excellent close to the beach onto the village. The shower and the main bathroom is probably the best shower we have had in a property in this area. There is an overstocked kitchen with far too many plates, pans and utensils. They really could do with a Declutter there was a small end cupboard in the kitchen which was filled full of all teabags, cobwebs, and really needs attention. That’s more comfortable and also plenty of towels. HOWEVER We noticed in the comment book that people had said that the radiator/towel rail in the bathroom get hot. This is an understatement. The towel rail in the ensuite. Everything on the holiday was fine, and as you would expect. I really suggest that the owners actually do something about the towel rail in the bathroom and ensuite as quickly as possible. I wouldn’t normally write a review like this, and I am not want to complain, but I do feel that I have the duty to warn people before they go to this property. I am certainly not saying don’t go because it’s absolutely fine, however do not turn on the towel rails.

This is our third stay here.

It’s a great house and suits us perfectly. We love the layout and the living room/dining space is great. The tv is fantastic(we want one!) and we had everything we needed. It’s great for the dogs-thank you for the throws they were appreciated. We also always appreciate the wind breaks to borrow. The garden has been done over since last year and looked very nice. We will definitely be back.

What a delightful cottage.

It had everything needed for an enjoyable stay, very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Lovely quiet area but very handy for travelling out and about. The dvd collection was so handy as we watched a film every night which was so nice. When we are coming over to this area again we will book to stay here.

Great place to stay.

All good. Comfortable, spacious, all you need for a relaxing holiday.

Very comfortable everything.

You need for your very relaxing stay bedding was spotless lots of books videos lovely large tv only one negative the garden furniture needs up dating

We had a brilliant last minute short stay from Friday till the Sunday night.

The accommodation was ideal for our family of 4 humans (ranging from 63 to 6 years old) and 1 big dog. We took lots of blankets and throws to insure we protected the furnishings and this helped to make our stay more relaxed. The beds were extremely comfortable as were the pillows, which had previously been given less favourable reviews. The enclosed back garden was a real bonus too. The name of the house is very appropriate as it is only about a 5 minute walk to the gorgeous Beadnell beach and bay. We would all thoroughly recommend this property. Especially Walter, the golden retriever!!

Yes we would stay here again.

Very warm and cosy cottage with everything we needed.

We were a family of 5 plus dog and there was ample space for us. The bed in the second bedroom is huge and very comfortable and the shower was really powerful. Decorated with some lovely Christmas decorations which we really appreciated. Great location close to the pub and the sea front. Would definitely return.

Bit late in response just due to hectic lifestyle!

Extremely clean, basic, but to be fair everything that’s needed. Garden a disappointment, as “nothing” pleasant about it, so if weather had been warmer, wouldn’t have enjoyed sitting out with a glass of wine! But importantly it was fully enclosed for our dogs! Should provide recycling facilities, we are not fanatics, but for the price paid, don’t expect to have to bring recycling home, as requested!

Garden furniture could do with updating and perhaps a bbq

This was our second stay here.

The house is perfect for our family. Plenty of space and a second bathroom is great! The new television was a great addition amazing picture and we enjoyed the fact we could stream things. Our dogs are always happy here with the enclosed garden and close proximity to the beach. Thank you for the wind breaks in the outside shed, ours broke but we didn’t have to buy new as there were two to borrow. The only one suggestion I would have is new pillows as they are a bit flat but that’s a small thing. I think it is great value for money and we have already booked to come back next year!

Location was great and beds are really comfy, the house internally is nicely decorated and we found it to be clean, however, as a bungalow we did not expect living room and dining area to be at a different level to rest of property, this should be made clear on the description.

The step down was significant and was a problem for my mother-in-law who we took with us. It was also not clear there is a large step to get into the front door. The fridge has a water pooling problem that has been noted in the visitor book but has not been dealt with, there was plenty of dvds but couldn’t find dvd player and the low maintenance garden has not been maintained at all, as weeds are now nearly as high as my knee and garden furniture requires repair.

Loved our stay in this beautiful property, it was perfect for us.

Great location and super clean. The TV in the lounge could do with an upgrade though, minor thing and definitely wouldn't stop us from coming back!

We had a really lovely stay at Stones Throw and the location is brilliant.

It’s a good size property with a great kitchen stocked with everything you could need and more during your stay. This is the 3rd time we have stayed in the property over the last couple of years. We did feel on our stay this time though that there are some small updates needed as it is showing signs of wear and tear. -All beds desperately need new pillows, we actually bought some from Tesco during our stay. -The headboard in the main bedroom is falling off the wall. - The outside door handle of bedroom 2 is falling off. - The cushions on the sofas smell fusty and the sofas in general could possibly do with an update. - The back yard of the property looks tired, the furniture is broken, and generally looks like it needs a bit of TLC. - The toilet flushers in both toilets are loose and the loo brushes are dirty. All in all a great place to stay just in need of a little update. Many Thanks.

Quiet location, handy for Seahouses, Bamburgh, Holy Island and Alnwick.

booked property about a month ahead at a discounted price, worked out at around £125 per night which I felt was about right. Clean with everything you need, perhaps just upgrade the tv in the lounge!

Nice Place to stay

Stones Throw is ideally located to the fabulous beaches in Beadnell with easy access to other areas.

The property is very clean, comfortable and cosy, it isn't large by any means but well set out with plenty of space. It easily catered for our party of 4 adults and 2 dogs, also the kitchen is well equipped. We had no need to venture out in the evenings as the facilities were so good to stay in and cook. The only fault was some of the ceiling lights in the bedrooms were a bit temperamental and to be fair, we weren't sure if this was just the bulbs. We were so impressed that before we left we actually booked to stay there for the next New Year.

Nice bungalow but we thought it was the whole property when viewed from outside not half.

Radiators were a problem and tripped the electrics so we had to contact company: resolve d quickly. We couldn’t control one of the radiators in the en-suite bedroom which stayed at 7. A couple of minor points no handwash in the toilets and minimal toilet paper but apart from that nice property, would recommend General area fantastic; pubs/ beaches etc.

Just spent another lovely week at Stones Throw this is our 4th time staying.

We love Beadnell and the whole area. I actually went online to book again for September next year but it’s almost £200 more expensive for the same week next year which I feel is a little steep so I’m unsure if we will be returning

We really enjoyed our stay at Stone’s Throw.

There was plenty of room for our party of 5 and 2 dogs. The kitchen was well equipped. The DvD collection was very welcome as we forgot to bring any! The location is great and we enjoyed many walks and trips to the beach. We would definitely cone again.

A lovely cottage in a peaceful area.

Clean comfortable facilities. Plenty to see and do in the area.

this is feedback for the owner, not the Sykes website.

We had a few problems. 1) the ensuite shower. I attempte to use once and was either at risk of freezing or being scalded.!! Plus the actual shower cubicle is badly in need of repair. Broken screws resulting in the doors not staying closed and the water flooding into the bathroom.. also the shower is in need of a thorough clean as is the non slip mat!! 2) The front door was a big problem in the extra warm weather . expansion made closure extremely difficult. we literally had to forcibly slam the door to close the door each time we used it, which can be doing neither the door or the surrounding framework any good. 3) The hoover. When we attempted to use it the dirty stale smell was extremely off putting. You ask us to leave the house as we find it, but do not leave usable equipment to do so. 4) I had to descale and clean the kettle but it really needs renewed. Despite the foregoing we enjoyed our holiday, mainly due to the beautiful weather, and the peace and quiet .

Lovely bungalow, well equipped and very close to the beach.

Had everything we needed and very comfortable.

We found the cottage very clean and nicely decorated.

Comfy sofas and beds and a good shower. However, the kitchen is technically a corridor from the rest of the house to the living room which means there is not a lot of space. The bedrooms also had very little room and the en-suite was tiny. We found Beadnell a great base - good shop, pub and beaches.

Beautiful property very well-equipped in great location.

Good location, comfortable clean and bright well furnished property very well equipped.

Good location, easy access, all facilities provided for an enjoyable holiday.

We had a wonderful few days at Stones Throw- a very well equipped cottage - lovely bedrooms & great sofas - it worked well for us all would definitely come again.

Lovely property very comfortable home from home.

Great bungalow in Beadnell.

Walking distance to the beach, pub and playpark.

Excellent property, nice size and well equipped.

plenty of shed storage for body board, surf boards wet suits etc.

Thank you for a lovely comfortable stay at Stones Throw.

We loved the beach house theme and the super comfy sofas. Even though the weather was not on our side we still had a fabulous time and didn't want to leave!

Lovely, well equipped.

Beds really comfy. Completely enclosed garden for dogs in a quiet area very near beach

The accommodation was tastefully decorated and very comfortable.

It was in an ideal position, ie close to the pub, shop and a five minutes walk from the beach. We had a lovely break.
