“A lovely cottage on which to base our holiday in Northumberland.”

- Anthony, November 2023
Jacqueline October 2023

“A wonderful property , very comfortable and well looked after , we were only there 2 nights but would happily of stayed a lot longer.”

Everything you could want is just about on the doorstop , with a very short walk to the coast . I would happily reccommend Hillcrest to family and friends and would readily go back there in the future .

- Jacqueline, October 2023

Thank you for your great feedback I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay at Hillcrest. But 2 nights is not enough to see all our wonderful Northumbrian coast come back soon. Property Owner

“Beautiful property in a great location.”

We enjoyed the proximity to Seahouse's pubs and restaurants. The property was very clean and nicely decorated and furnished. With three of us staying, we managed well, but six might be a struggle with the kitchen facilities and utensils. The fully enclosed garden was great for our dog too - very secure.

- Tom, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback, not sure that i can enlarge the kitchen but I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

“Fantastic. We had a lovely week at Hillcrest.”

The house was very clean and comfortable and so convenient for the local amenities. Seahouses is a great little harbour town with plenty of eating out options. Two local dog friendly pubs with great food. Indian and Italian restaurants with takeaway options plus fish and chips galore. So many places to visit nearby including Bamburgh Castle, Lindisfarne, Alnwick to name a few. A bit of a drive to Beamish but well worth a visit. Lovely to get back to Hillcrest and relax. The parking permit was very welcome and also allowed us to park in many car parks in surrounding towns. Highly recommended.

“Fabulous break in a great property.”

Great location, within walking distance to the amenities of Seahouses. Comfy, clean, spacious, light and airy house with the added bonus of a secure enclosed garden for the dog! Also the parking permit for the carpark right behind the back gate was handy and allowed us to use many other carparks in the area too. I'm afraid we didn't use the kitchen much as there were too many good eating places and takeaways in town, but it did seem very well equipped! I'd certainly stay here again.

“We’ve stayed in many Northumbria Coast & Country Cottages but this was one was disappointing.”

First impressions were not great. Parking was an issue - as parking for this property is in a public car park and as it was a bank hol weekend - we struggled. Once at the property the grass area was overgrown and evidence of previous dogs found, both general rubbish and recycling bins overflowing attracting lots of flies. The front door was extremely stiff and required some force to open and close. Previous holidaymakers had obviously also found this to be a problem as the inside handle wasn’t secure and missing screws. Throughout the week the bathroom sink started the block, shower doors very difficult to open and close and the washing machine was pouring out water. The bunk beds don’t have proper mattresses- both more like futon mattresses which is fine for a few nights but both my kids found them uncomfortable. Feedback for owners- please get single mattresses and an hair dryer! All issues reported but due to the bank holiday weekend the local agency wasn’t open until Wednesday. Even without the above issues we wouldn’t stay in this particular property again as the parking was a constant problem and being so close to Seahouses it was quite noisy. The local Northumbria coast & cottages agents were very helpful and tried to fix the washing machine & front door but it was a shame I had to call in 3x times

“We loved the location of the property but unfortunately the neighbours at number56 were very inconsiderate of others making lots of noise throughout the night partucularly loud from midnight till 230am children screaming and grown adults shouting, singing and encouraging the children to scream.”

This happened 4 out of our 7 nights waking us each night which was disapointing. The property itself was very spacious and clean but the outhouse building where the freezer and washing machine was leaking badly during the heavy rain meaning the celin was bubbling and leakong through. I feel this needs repairing as its damp and mouldy. Our stay was lovely and we would return again but felt very let down but the noisy neighbours .

“We enjoyed our stay at Hillcrest very much.”

It was perfectly located, just a stone’s throw from the centre of Seahouses. The only thing that was missing was a mirror in the second bedroom, as I had to keep going into the first bedroom to dry my hair. Also the tap in the kitchen needs fixing as that is dripping. We do hope to return sometime in the future.

“The house us lovley and clean, a great place to stay.”

Maybe a little attention is needed outside .The lawn only cut on Monday but had not been cut for a while mould in the out house and the bench is dangerous probably needs removing . all in all great

“Property was lovely - just needs dripping tap in kitchen fixed and moveable shower head was broken when we arrived.”

Other than that, a lovely property and we may well stay there again.

“Lovely cottage in the heart of things.”

Clean and comfortable. Well situated for the town of Seahouses and a very handy base for setting off sightseeing the beautiful Northumberland coast and countryside

“We enjoyed our stay but found dirty used cotton buds in the bathroom & 1 Of the bedrooms, also the only 2logs for the burner had already already been used as the were burnt I was told in the booking that their would be a starter pack of logs.”

- Susan, April 2023
Catherine April 2023

“Excellent location and very comfortable stay - we thoroughly enjoyed it.”

A couple of points for feedback: Annoying having the freezer outside and it felt a bit grotty. I sent my husband out there each time we needed something! For a holiday let I think it would be better having the fridge in the kitchen replaced with one with a freezer compartment at the top. More info should be provided about the parking so you know what to do on arrival. It was great having the parking permit but not clear where to park / unload from the arrival information email. Mirror needed in all bedrooms, especially for families with teenagers like us! A very comfortable property which I would recommend and we had a thoroughly enjoyable week.

“The house is tastefully decorated and has tv's in 4 rooms.”

It is a clean, modern and comfortable property, central to all the facilities in the village. Some lovely walks from the doorstep. The large car park at the back of the property made parking relatively easy.
