“We have just spent a lovely week in creel cottage.”
The Location was perfect, tranquil and directly opposite the harbour. We enjoyed walks with our dog up to Dunstanburgh castle which was stunning. The local pub was excellent and well worth a visit but you do need to book.
The bedrooms were of a good size and our bed was very comfortable. The only down side was the bathroom being down stairs and also a trot through the kitchen is required!
The kitchen was well equipped but little storage is available for food and drink.
The seating area in the back garden is good but needs a bit of TLC around the seating area.
The seating area across the (quiet) road was lovely and looking out over the harbour and sea was wonderful.
There were a few areas for improvement however, the sofas in lounge were terribly uncomfortable and looked a little tired. On arrival at the cottage the bathroom had a strong smell of bleach which we realised after a day masked a damp smell. The parking area is ok if you have a small to medium car but anything bigger you will struggle like us as the large bush needs a trim back in order for your car to get in. The gate also needs some repair as the bolt securing it is hanging off - this is an easy area to be improved as parking at the front is difficult. Despite these issues we did have a nice time.
Thank you for your feedback, we're delighted you enjoyed your stay and had a nice time.
Thank you for mentioning the maintenance points, we've highlighted these to the team at Northumberland Coast and Country Cottages and these will be looked at straight away. If you come again with a larger car we've another parking space available behind the cottage so just let us know.
We'd love you to visit Creel Cottage again and enjoy the beautiful Northumberland coast. Property Owner
