    “The house is lovely and the location is stunning.”

    However, it is badly in need of some TLC. It needs a deep clean as well as some repairs and maintenance. I think with some relatively small effort and investment it could be so much better. The new fridge freezer, washer dryer (unclear on the listing but there is one) and dishwasher are great. The kitchen (including the inside of the cupboards) need a thorough clean and tidy and some repairs. Some equipment (e.g frying pans) need to be replaced. The door to the ground floor bedroom is blown ...

    However, it is badly in need of some TLC. It needs a deep clean as well as some repairs and maintenance. I think with some relatively small effort and investment it could be so much better. The new fridge freezer, washer dryer (unclear on the listing but there is one) and dishwasher are great. The kitchen (including the inside of the cupboards) need a thorough clean and tidy and some repairs. Some equipment (e.g frying pans) need to be replaced. The door to the ground floor bedroom is blown after the flood and needs replacing. The bathrooms need a deep clean, (especially the floors) silicone sealant replacement and some repairs (upstairs shower head replacement). The bath plug doesn't fit properly and water gradually drains. The bedroom furniture needs a good clean, some minor repairs and touch up to the paintwork. The bath towels are very small but clean and good quality. The en-suite wash hand basin drains very slowly. The outside furniture needs cleaning, repairing and treating (wood stain). The patio and decking needs cleaning, staining and weeding. There is a brand new bbq we sadly didn't get chance to use thanks to the weather. The gutters and drains need clearing as they were leaking when it rained. The property needs a new sofa as it's worn, stained and uncomfortable. Some double glazed units are blown and need repair or replacement. The velux window needs cleaning so it can be opened. An information folder for the property would be really helpful. I would love to stay here again but won't until it's undergone improvements. I am very disappointed with Sykes letting properties without any apparent quality checks and minimum standards. It will put me off booking again.

The property

Nestled into the seaside town of Newton-by-the-Sea, near Embleton which is only 6.2 miles away with local amenities and attractions, Cullernose Cottage is a lovely base for a family or group of friends looking to explore the coast and countryside of Northumberland.

Enter into this property and descend the stairs to the lower-ground-floor living space, an open-plan social hub ideal for guests to relax in.

Cook up a storm in the well-fitted kitchen, serving your masterpiece either at the dining table or alfresco style in the rear garden, an ideal spot to make the most of the sunshine.

As the evening wears on, settle into the sitting area and enjoy a movie marathon.

Freshen up in the ground-floor wet room before settling into one of the three well-presented bedrooms, each with storage and tasteful décor, choosing between a ground-floor bunk room, a king-size with charming balcony and large windows, and a twin with charming furniture.

There is also the added bonus of a bath on the second floor where guests can enjoy a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles.

About the location

EMBLETON

Craster 3 miles; Beadnell 4 miles; Alnwick 7 miles.

The pretty village of Embleton is ideally placed for exploring one of the most attractive stretches of Northumberland's Heritage Coastline. A beautiful grassy path runs from the village to neighbouring Craster, alongside the sea and past Dunstanburgh Castle - the largest ruined castle in Northumberland. Embleton itself has a village pub and a local hotel, and there is an excellent range of amenities in nearby Alnwick. The gardens at nearby Howick Hall are open during the summer and are noted for their beauty, whilst Alnwick Castle and Garden are a 'must-see' when visiting the area. For the keen golfer, Dunstanburgh Links Course is about 1 mile away - just one of several excellent courses in the vicinity.
