“Loved the location and the house was big, spacious and perfect for children.”
Could definitely have been cleaner and better maintained though. Gave the kids a bath on the first night but didn’t repeat as it was very hard to get the plug out. The mechanism had clearly been broken for ages. The middle shower was too annoying to use as the button was broken. Kitchen taps worryingly loose. Broken shelf in the fridge. Damp clearly a problem on top floor & plaster crumbling off around skylights. Lack of access to vacuum meant we couldn’t easily get rid of that, the numerous dead wood lice (resorted to dustpan & brush) or the dog hair that had been left over from previous guests, which wasn’t great for my 8 year old who struggles with numerous environmental allergies. Had had such problems contacting company on previous occasions that it didn’t seem worth bothering. Despite all the minor annoyances, we had a great week and would probably book again - bringing a vacuum with us & hoping that some of the issues had been fixed!
Thank you for your feedback we are delighted to hear that you have enjoyed your stay and would look to come back. Regarding the points you have raised in respect of cleaning and maintenance, we have highlighted those issues to the team at Northumbria Coast and Country Cottages and they are getting those issues fixed. We'd love you to visit Cargoes again and enjoy the Northumberland Coast. Property Owner
