“Nice cottage, spent a comfortable week here.”
Large enclosed garden with a gate to the barn at the back, dog friendly, super comfortable beds - we slept very well all week. Well equipped kitchen. Not much walking can be done from the door because even though it's in a quiet spot you turn onto a busy road with no paths, but luckily it's a 5 min drive to lovely Bamburgh and the amazing beach there. Many other highlights nearby including Ross Sands, Seahouses Harbour and Dunstansburgh Castle.
Housekeeper contacted us on the first night which I thought a nice touch. No major issues although I do think the cottage could do with a little updating in a few places; trims on french doors missing, garden seems quite tired and not as appealing as the pictures, hob extractor only works on 1 switch and no light, Henry hoover with no pipe attachment and dustpan and brush wonky so we couldnt hoover/sweep up dog hairs during our stay which we normally would do for our own comfort. Also I used the washing machine once and it got so hot I couldnt touch it so that may well need replacing!
Just small things, which didnt ruin our holiday at all, but need to be taken into consideration for future bookings.
Thank you for your feedback. We have replaced the vacuum and the brush and pan. Somebody had turned the water tap off to the washer which explains why it got hot. We have a professional gardener who comes every two weeks weather permitting but the poor weather has not been helpful this year! There are good walks from the cottage now that the Northumberland coastal path has opened and we now send guests details of this.
