Beautifully furnished - great location, warm, comfortable and clean. Great bed linen and amazing shower !!
Wi-Fi cld be a little stronger in bedrooms but that’s such a minor point!

Excellent location and good sized bedrooms, very clean. Had everything we needed.

Location was very good between seahouses and Bambrugh and near the beach with cut through through the housing estate to the front .
It needs a new sofa. Extremely uncomfortable as springs have gone and saggy base cushions . No good if 4 people are staying needs 2 decent sofas . One across the room and one under kitchen counter or L shaped and one chair . A decent dining table more robust and 4 decent dining chairs would not go amiss either. Do not stay here if you are not related closely the bathroom is minute and it sounds like you are in the room with whoever is in there . I would say adults with children only but a lot of stairs 2 flights . I think they should have made main bedroom smaller and bigger bathroom . An ensuite of tiny proportions for 4 people .

Well equipped kitchen for cooking. The large windows in the living room with a sea view made it a very peaceful and relaxing break away
Shower room was a little small if more than 2 people were staying. It is dog friendly but has no garden

Good location. 20 minutes walk to the town, where there was a good selection of pubs and places to eat. Nicely laid out. Comfortable bed. Brilliant shower. Parking.
Neptune's was a great fish n chips venue. The Old Buoy Inn served quality food.
Bathroom too small. Was adequate for two but not four persons. Freezer could have been defrosted.
Overall, the pros definitely outscore the cons.

Beautiful view from the livingroom, couple of min walk to the beach. Lovely bedrooms. Good kitchen. Quiet residential location.
Jack and Jill bathroom was awkward and a littleclose for comfort! No tea towel. Own access but could also be accessed through the garage by someone else which was a little disconcerting.

Sofa/cushions needed updating, a little bit uncomfortable.

Location good
Accommodation was self-catering
The shower room was in need of a deep clean
You had to leave the shower door open at all time if not when going to seat on loo you would bang your head.

The location is fantastic—just a 3-minute walk from Seahouses Beach. The bedding is very comfortable, and the place itself is cozy and cheerful. My 3-year-old was absolutely thrilled and happy. Host & Stay were extremely professional, and we are definitely planning to stay again!
Nothing at all

Gorgeous little apartment in an excellent location for what we wanted. All the essential luxuries you would want for a comfortable stay. Beds were lovely and comfortable, shower had excellent power and heat and the towels were bath sheets (big) rather than small ones that just cover your bottom.
Kitchen facilities were ideal, just missing a tin opener which I also forgot to bring. Could have done with a few more mugs and another tea towel and the plates etc checking upon cleaning as unfortunately the previous guests left a dirty chopping board, mug and bowl in the cupboard. Not an issue in relation to everything else. Couldn’t fault it. Got my steps in too from the 3 floors 😍

Quiet location which was perfect for us. Off street parking which was v. Safe for our car. Easy and good access to all the coast has to offer. The management company was very slow to return my phone calls regarding access to the property and with regards to a very minor problem with the TV co-ax cable. There is not a lot of room in the shared bathroom, however as stated it is a large shower with good water pressure. All in all I can happily recommend the property.
That it wasn't made clear that it is an annexe property situated above the garage to the right of the main house and the key location was to the left of the garage. There are two key locations either side of the front door that are for the main house only. Only by asking the neighbours did we find the right key location.

Convenient location to Seahouses & Bamburgh.
The main bedroom mattress was very poor.
The kitchen sink had NO bowl and the dual taps dripped constantly.
The only sofa was very soft and uncomfortable.
In general the property requires some love & attention to detail.

Address needs to say Annex to main house. Nice bedrooms but small bathroom not ideal for sharing having connecting bedrooms doors . Fitted to a good standard
Not suitable for Disabled people or Elderly people as staircases are too steep, showers fungus around shower tray , the door frames to the Juliette balcony where full of dirt , Tv reception not very good No instructions on how to use oven , could do with a welcome book rather than having to look on web for details no detail of places to eat although web site said it provided details. Web page needs to be specific for that property and not just a general view

Nice try.
There was a terrible stench in the tiny bathroom between the bedrooms. It was like sleeping in a latrine. We complained and have been given nothing but a run around.

Location, comfort and the parking
The only issue was the bathroom smells damp couldn't see how the extractor fan worked and could do with the shower trough bleaching and renew sealant. Previous reviews have mentioned this.

Bathroom was very small for two bedrooms with inconvenient toilet in the small bathroom and unfortunately mould in the shower!
Dining table and chairs could be better!

A very spacious modern apartment, imaginatively designed to give stunning views of the sea and the Farne Islands. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac in a modern housing development with easy access to the sea front and within walking distance of the centre of Seahouses with its shops, restaurants and Farne Island boat trips.
The damage-deposit came as a surprise as it was additional to the listed booking price and navigating the system for its payment was not straightforward. We had no direct contact with the property owners, only multiple emails from Host and Stay (I presume a specialist holiday-let management company) which were sometimes confusing.

Very nice property, lovely lounge with views of the sea. Clean and comfy with everything you need.
The bathroom was very small but we managed ok.
10.0 / 10.0
Peaceful, with beautiful views of the sea.
From the initial booking to the end of our stay, I received 22 separate emails from Booking.com and Host and Stay (management company). This was overwhelming and it was difficult to find the important ones when I need them. There was a danger of missing something important among so many communications.

Great light and airy lounge/ kitchen area upstairs on the 2nd floor. Comfy bed. 2 bedrooms. Good facilities in the kitchen. Pleasant 10 to 15 min walk into town with a choice of restaurants. Centrally heated and cosy. House is on a small quiet estate just on the edge of the town.
If there are more than 2 adults, the bathroom facilities might be a little small but was perfect for a couple

lovely airy accommodation, done to a very good standard.
only negative the bedrooms had quite alot of cobwebs and the windows in the living area were dirty which spoils the view.Also the damage waiver deposit which is non refundable not sure that’s fair keeping that from every customer,would of been more than happy to pay a higher refundable deposit .

Central location with beach views.
Bathroom was a little small and it was hard at first to find the correct lockbox to get into the premises.
8.0 / 10.0
The apartment is an annex of the main house , it has its own parking and entrance and is well set up with everything you would have expected . The house is modern and very comfortable with good sized rooms and is in good condition.Being at the edge of the village of Seahouses it takes around 12-15 minutes to get to the harbour and shops, there is a good coastal path .Beds and towels were very good.The kitchen is well supplied with everything you would need and there is a dishwasher.
The WiFi was poor at best ,often disconnecting and failing completely.
The toilet is small and accessed from both bedrooms on the first floor .
The modern oven and cooker are digital (induction cooker plates) and without instructions were difficult to use.

View and location were fantastic.

Loved how close the property is to the beach.
The fact that the living/lounge is on the top floor to make the most of the views.
No access to the garden which would have been lovely on the warm evenings
8.0 / 10.0
This is a great place to stay at, central to shops, short walk or quick drive. Beach is a 5min walk away.
This is not a negative but more constructive feedback that could make the stay go from great to perfect.
- Broom or brush and pan for kitchen rather than to bring the big hoover up
- Bread knife, perhaps there was one before but certainly in need of one
- Tiebacks for curtains in rooms, was quite warm and a lovely breeze comes through the when windows are open but then the curtains flap around all over the place at night. When trying to sleep not great.
- Manual for washing machine would be handy not just what is in the home guide
- If waste needs to sorted for recycling purposes, provide means to do so not just a single non-compartmented bin
- Ice tray is broken but can do with an additional one or two trays
These are mean to be helpful feedback not a criticism of the place as we really enjoyed our stay
