"Suited us very well It would be a bit “cosy” for 3 adults- quite small
Location was good - a field adjacent for morning and evening dog functional walks
Relatively quiet street so parking was generally available nearby but only a short stroll to town centre one way and harbour another
Back yard was pretty uninviting - maybe some trellis/ artificial greenery would soften it up?"
We have visited Amble 10 times now so didn’t need the supplied information but it was available
Would most likely visit again

"Tidy & well equipped, no problems with access or parking."
Would recommend Installing grab handles by bath to help us less agile folk to get in/out . Nightlight on stairs not working, toaster set off fire alarm after burning bread on lowest setting. Boiler timing suspect, kept coming on random times during night-time.

"Loved Sea Air."
It was absolutely spotless and well maintained, and everything you’d expect to find (and more) was included. It has a lovely quirky feel of being a much-loved home with an eclectic mix of modern and retro furniture and crockery, which we really liked. It was warm and comfortable. The location is fabulous, quiet street but only a very short walk to the shops, cafes, beach, and harbour. The owner was very helpful.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is a much loved home and I am so glad you enjoyed your stay.

"Tired and unloved."
Unclean and musty upon arrival. Owner states this was a result of previous booking being cancelled resulting in the property being empty for a week - improbable. Bed linen clean but tired and not ironed. Remember to bring loo roll as these are not provided.
£35.00 compensation promised but, to date, has not been paid.
I'm sorry you had such a bad experience, but the cancellation was genuine and loo rolls are definitely included.

"Overall property was ok."
The location was fantastic with amenities within walking distance. However it definitely requires a good clean, we had to spend the first evening cleaning the grill tray and the majority of the dishes as they were all still dirty. There was a large stain on the carpet at the entrance, the sofa was very old and had been covered to try to stop the smell of must escaping. We had tried to hoover the carpet and found a very smelly hoover with no attachment to be able to hoover properly.
Sorry I thought I responded to this previously. Yes, a guest took the attachment to the to the hoover and we had not noticed as the Housekeeper uses her own hoover. The stain has been removed and cleaning standards are monitored more consistently.

"Visited this property over a few years now and it’s beginning to look as if it needs some TLC to freshen up a bit."
Thanks you for your feedback. Over the winter we have refreshed the decor, some of the furniture and equipment and the linen so now it should be ready for new guests!

"Most uncomfortable property we have ever stayed in."
The comments are all the same from previous visitors in the visitors book. Why have these not been addressed by the owners? Furniture looks as if it has been reclaimed from the dump and extremely uncomfortable. The mattress was rock hard so sleeping was difficult. Crockery out the ark and old wooden spoons. No sieve. We only had cereal for breakfast and ate out the rest of the time.
Only good thing was the property was close enough to walk to the shops and harbour. Everything is tired and dated.
Thank you for your feedback. We changed the mattress this year as previous comments suggested it was too soft! We have now purchased a mattress topper so guests can vary increase the softness if they prefer. Some of the furniture and crockery are individually chosen and/or restored from house and vintage sales. Over the winter we have refreshed the decor, some of the furniture and equipment and the linen. There is both a sieve and a colander, I am sorry you did not find it.

"The cottage was in a great location - Amble is a perfect place from which to see Northumberland and has good restaurants and shops."
The street was quiet and characterful. The cottage was clean, but felt a little damp. There was a dripping tap in the kitchen, with an arrangement to fix it after we left. The bed in the main bedroom was uncomfortable. The second bedroom had no bedside table. The bathroom was new, clean and in good condition. The kitchen was well equipped and ideal for what we needed, although we only had breakfast and drinks there. It was fine for 4 nights, but I am not sure I would have wanted to stay in the cottage longer.

"Located in Amble, a few minutes walk from the shops in the high street and the harbour, Sea Air is the ideal base to explore the Northumberland coast."
The house is comfortable and has everything you would need. There is in street parking; we were always able to park outside the front door. For people with dogs there is a green just across the road.
We would recommend without question

"Whilst the property was well equipped it did look like it had been furnished with odds and sods."
The cleanliness was poor and the property was very tired with some furniture and various decorating issues. There were trailing wires in the lounge which could have caused problems. There were cables hanging down underneath the kitchen cupboards. These are really a safeguarding issue. Upon contacting Sykes the call handler made all the right noises regarding attending to same and promised to call back. When chasing the same handler said they had contacted the owner as Sykes were not responsible for maintenance of property. I disagreed as I had a contract with them not the owner and asked for their Manager to call me which never happen. I’ve did contact owner but didn’t come to inspect the property and I provided photos and a video to highlight the state of the accommodation. When highlighting the state of the back space and rotten gate the owner said the outside space wasn’t really for use but there is a washing machine and line plus an outside shed for the storage of bikes if needed. The gate could not be used so if s bike was being stored it would have had to go through the cottage.

Comfy beds, plenty of clothes storage, well-equipped kitchen and warm when heating is required. Tasteful coastal theme running through the house.

"Excellent property."
First class equipment in kitchen. Ideal for dog owners, as outside there was a railway line that had been transformed into a walkway, with dog litter bins at frequent intervals.
