The location is excellent, plenty of parking nearby. The home was beautiful, plenty of room and nicely done, very rustic. Kitchen facilities etc very good. Beds very nice and comfortable. Spacious bedrooms.
The bathroom facilities were poor, in keeping with the lovely rustic theme we found the shower was not very inviting due to it being not clean and looking worn and rusty. The bath tub itself had not been cleaned, it had scum residue around the inside, plus a long black hair in it. On opting for a 'strip wash' over the sink, there was just a small trickle of cold water out of each tap, we managed though.
We were looking forward to a relaxing time in the hot tub, it was clean and lovely and warm, alas..no bubbles! Pressed everything it would not work. The outside furniture was very dirty, and the whole yard just tired looking, we had lovely weather but we weren't inclined to sit outside. Just as a footnote, the cleaners need to look up at the light shades and walls, many many cobwebs.

The house itself is decorated really well and is very quirky.
The host was easily accessible via messages as we had an issue with the hot tub.
Walking distance to main part of Amble.
We did have some issues which could be easily rectified. We enjoyed our stay but the house could have been cleaner.
The hot tub jets after we managed to get it to work weren't very powerful and the hot tub cools down really quick when you are in it. When we arrived it was only on 35, we had to wait till the next morning to use it.
We had missing wine glasses and champagne flutes, there were 6 of us and expected to have 6 glasses.
There were some chipped plates and a chipped bowl.
The oven door glass was loose on the inside. We were wary using the oven incase it fell off.
We couldn’t turn the heating off so downstairs was so really hot.
The radiator in the bedroom near the bathroom did not get hot and the upstairs was really cold. One of the bedrooms had damp on the ceiling so the paint was peeling off.
There was a lot of dust and I mean a lot throughout the house and the cobwebs looked like they had been there for a long time. They were hanging down in the dining room and the bedrooms, behind the beds the dust on the skirting boards was terrible.
We ended up dusting the lights downstairs and cleaning the surfaces where we could see the dust to remove the cobwebs
There were also a lot of ants downstairs. We were not sure where they were coming from.
The shower head in the bathroom had lots of limescale.
