"Great property and location."
The cleanliness wasn't so great. Lots of cob webs in corners and we had to clean drawers in bedrooms before putting clothes in them. The alarm sensors, especially in the bedroom are a genuine issue. They flash very bright blue light everytime someone moves, so it's difficult to sleep. It woke me up several times during the night. On balance, however, this property is well appointed and the views from the first floor are superb.

"This is a lovely house in a great location with breath taking views out to see."
Ideally situated to explore the Northumberland coastline.
Very cosy the house has everything you need. It took us a bit to find it but lesson learnt just follow sat nav as takes right outside the house!! Black out blinds would be a welcome addition but would not put me off returning!!

"Fabulous cottage in a stunning location."
Views are fantastic and the house is well equipped. Fully enclosed garden was a real asset for us as we have a dog. We will definitely revisit in the future.

"The house was lovely and as described."
However, there were a number of issues. We could not check in until 4pm by which time it was dark - we drove past the property 3 times before we found it. You could easily put a clearer sign outside and some lighting. Having failed to find it I phoned both numbers given at exactly 5pm but nobody answered. Not helpful! The property was unpleasantly cold on arrival and did not heat up until late in the evening. The hot water was only tepid. We eventually reported this and it was fixed quickly after we raised the issue. The property looked well cleaned but there was a used pair of underpants under one of the beds in the twin room and twice I found a slug in the bathroom of the double room. Most comments in the visitors book mentioned a welcome pack - we didn’t even get a carton of milk and did not feel welcomed. The owner only lived next door and said he hadn’t realised we were arriving on the day we did. In fact he rang the agents to say no one had arrived despite the fact our car was parked outside and we had arrived the previous evening. We had a lovely week in Alnmouth and the house was actually great - it was just not a very welcoming start.

"We stayed at Viewpoint for New Year and had a great time."
The property was clean and really comfortable. Great for walks on the beach and popping into the village. The views are wonderful and being able to see the sunrise each morning was just perfect. I would book this property again.

"We had a fantastic week: The views were amazing and the layout of the house worked a treat for our family."
The weather wasn't great but inside it was cosy. It's perfectly positioned to just wander down to the beach, or to explore a plethora of brilliant attractions just a few minutes drive away. We ate in most nights and the kitchen was great; a few more serving bowls would have helped but a minor point. It's a wonderful place and perfect for a stay in any season. Would highly recommend and we'd be back in a heartbeat.

"Absolutely gorgeous place to stay, the views were stunning."
Loved having the beautiful beach so close. Comfy beds, very clean everywhere and we had no issues. The only slight improvement would be a few more mugs and roasting dishes as we ate in quite a lot.

"We love the upstairs room,so comfortable, full of light and with stunning views."
This goes some way to make up for the lack of appealing outside space.
We are sorry that dogs are now accepted. It shows on the windows, doors and furnishings. I had some bites and caught a flea in the hall. Regarding the front door and mat - this is the second property in Alnmouth where cleanliness here has been overlooked. First impressions count for a lot. Despite these shortcomings, we do hope to return next year.

"Overall, the stay was really good - lovely house and perfect location."
I’d suggest a quick look at the dishwasher door as it is catching on the cupboard next to it and will end up causing damage. We also struggled in the mornings as the blinds in the master bedroom let in lots of light! Hoping that we will be able to stay at Viewpoint again as it is in a perfect location for us.

"Nothing I can write will do Viewpoint enough justice ."
It’s top end , modern , comfortable and a very enjoyable place to stay. The effort that the owners have put in to fit this property with top quality fixtures , facilities and extreme good looks shows that they completely understand their market . The view out to the North Sea over a golf course is stunning . Alnmouth is a 10 minute walk away and stunning with a beautiful long beach .
The owners take great pride in their wonderful house at Viewpoint and are fantastic people who leave a little gift for arrival.
We absolutely loved it and did not want to leave and ironically, circumstances dictated that we needed to extend our stay , both Sykes and the owners were brilliant sorting it within a few hours . We will definitely return to Viewpoint , if we’re lucky enough to find a vacancy .

Wonderful panoramic views and we never tired of gazing out to sea. A quiet location, but within easy walking distance of Alnmouth village. Our holiday in Alnmouth has been a wonderful substitute for our usual summer holiday abroad.

"The first thing to say is, in this year of covid, it is wonderful to be here on holiday."
We are regulars in the area, but this is our first stay in the very lovely Viewpoint. If you are an early riser, the sunrise over the sea is a delight, as is the sunset over the River valley. We really enjoyed our holiday
