It was clean, communication was great. Lots of pillows. There were blankets in the living room, which was a lovely touch. The kitchen was pretty well stocked. The house's decor has been well thought through and there was good storage in the bedrooms. The location is amazing - everything in Seahouses is on your doorstep and there's parking. It was super quiet at night.
There are no coat hooks, despite there being a spacious hall. The wifi isn't secure, so we didn't want to use this and this was contrary to the information provided. Nice salt and pepper grinders and a colander would have helped in the generally well stocked kitchen.

Gorgeous cosy house in a prime location. Super close to shops and only a small walk to the seafront.
The radiator in the kids room was boiling hot the whole time. Had to open window to make it bearable. Shower wasn’t great but did the job. Were offered free use of the pool at the ocean club but on arrival the receptionist said the membership was not reused.

5pm check in a bit late. Could do with being a bit earlier especially when only staying 2 nights like us
The shower was ususable flow of water to bath was shockingly bad would take for ever to fill a bath. We managed for 2 nights but if staying for longer would have been a real problem

The cottage was lovely, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were comfortable and cosy.
There was a problem with the boiler and it wasn’t clear how to sort it out.

Excellent property and location- ideal for a cosy weekend away
Only lacked a few things, a cloth to wash dishes-wipe surfaces with, and boiler/hearing instructions - the boiler was switched off as were alot of radiators - took us a while to work the heating out.

Big sitting room.
Well equipped kitchen.
Great house for a dog, plenty of room.
V. Comfy bed
Log burner not working. Hadn’t been told prior to stay. Really disappointed, had brought logs and kindling. However, the heating was brilliant and it was a warm house. We weren’t cold at all.
The house is little worn in places. All easily rectified, which would have meant a higher score from us.
The place felt it lacked a bit of love in places.
We Left feedback of what we felt lacked attention in the book supplied at property.

Spacious and generally well appointed with new and functioning appliances. Handy for everything in Seahouses. Generally quiet street and the small patio area was good for hanging out wet beach things to dry.
There were a few niggles with regard to equipment, crockery and bedding which I would communicate to the owners directly. They would not prevent me book in this property again.
Parking is very tight and requires skill.

I thought the shower could’ve been better (more water pressure)

Close to town
Heating difficult to use, shower very power pressure and temperature intermittent.
For what we paid I would have expected complimentary welcome gifts; this is expected. We didn’t even get kitchen roll.
Parking wasn’t as bad as everyone makes out. I have a 4x4 and if you can parallel park there is no problem.

Very good location, had everything we needed and we felt at home.
Very cosy, thank you.
Parking car was a little dicey along narrow lane but we managed ok!
This is being pedantic but nice if bins were in store cupboard!

Great location . Extremely cosy and comfortable . Very clean . Bed comfy . Great kitchen and amenities . Central in Seahouses and a short stroll to the Harbour . Would come back .
Parking bit tight at the back . But we parked one car down a nearby street, and it was safe .

Location and pleasant furniture and decoration
I thought cooking utensils were rather basic, only just adequate for three of us but would be more challenging cooking for more people.
Unless we just didn't find where they were there were insufficient toilet rolls and tea towels.

Beautiful cottage in a perfect location, a short walk to the harbour, restaurants and shops, beautiful little seaside town. The facilities were great but we didn’t use them much, the rooms are big and furnished well, the beds were lovely and comfortable. We will definitely stay again. Only small issue we had was with the car parking space for the property, it is around the rear and only accessible via a very narrow road, with a sharp left turn from the property, you have to park as close to the wall as possible which for most isn’t an issue unless you need to open the door fully for access, which I did at 6 months pregnant. This is a small issue though and won’t stop us from returning.

Location was perfect. It’s has lovely homely feel, well furnished, clean and tidy and had all the facilities you need to get away without having to take anything, just like a hotel! Would definitely recommend and if we come again we’ll definitely stay here again.
Everything was great, we liked everything.

good location and south facing front garden.
awkward parking space.
combi boiler not set up to deliver hot water.
only 2 slice toaster for a 6 birth accom.
facilities basic .
accommadation needs updating as looking tired and dark rooms. This house could be beautiful with a little TLC, The furniture is supposed to be the look of Old and new ? Some nice dark pieces are quality , but very dusty, And The pine furniture, I Thinks its meant to be shabby chic , Ive seen better Looking pine cupboards in a charity shop, Its tatty and stained , not something that you put in a £200 a night Rental cottage, there is a lot of dust everywhere. and .cracks on bathroom floor tiles are not safe for children as sharp edges on bare feet. we were looking forward to going to the swimming pool that was free access which was included in the cottage, but were told that this particular cottage hadnt renewed their Membership, this was rectified when i eventually got through to the company. but it was too late , and its not free access its £9 per person for a swim. which was all we wanted. This is not stated. There was no welcome pack , four small shortbread biscuits, four t,bags,coffee sachets,and sugar.
in the cupboard. Sorry but nothing felt welcoming about this cottage. but The area Beadnall.Walkworth.and Bamburough and Seahouses made our holiday. beacuse we love these areas. the coottage let it down , shame coz it could be lovely . But if you dont have high stsandards, and need somewhere to throw your dirty walking boots. and your dogs to lay around ,then maybe this cottage is for them but definateley not worth the money . A few photos of the damaged bathroom tiles, dusty wardrobe ,missing carpet in bedroom , and tatty stained pine furniture.

Good situation, sensible easy to clean floor as had dogs and they loved the beach!
Had problems with the door locks on arrival, 1 sorted next day after contacting letting agents other outstanding.
Information about size of parking space should be made available at time booking ,it is in the information pack in the house that it's for medium sized car, not much help at end long drive-did get my MPV/estate car in the space eventually with about 6inches gap to open boot

Parking really is for a small car only but we knew before we set off and switched to our smaller runaround vehicle. There were a few items of crockery missing but these were soon brought to the property when we pointed it out. Some wet paint on newel post but again fedback to company.

The property is in a good location for the harbour and Main Street. It’s nicely decorated and a good size for a weekend stay.
It wasn’t clean. The floors were dirty and lots of areas were dusty. It needed a thorough clean and had obviously just had a surface clean. My children’s socks were brown on the soles from the dirt on the downstairs floors. I think it’s particularly important to make sure that floors are clean when dogs have been allowed. We were also greeted with dog mess at the back door. Lots of surfaces were dusty and the sofas were full of crumbs. Not good enough for the price we paid. In addition, the bathroom light cord was ridiculously short so my son and mother couldn’t reach it to turn it on! I also feel it’s cheeky to ask clients to strip beds at the end of the stay when the property wasn’t clean to start with.

A fantastic location which was not a few minutes walk to the harbour. A really well presented cottage which made for a fantastic family holiday
Nothing to complain about! Only very minor point was the parking space round the back is a bit small if you have a wide car. It was fine for us but you need to make sure you are tucked in.
