• "Hardly any chopping boards."

  No scourer to clean the pans, limited selection of kitchen ‘kit’ and it would have been lovely to have some coffee and sugar left with the tea bags and a pint of milk to get us started And maybe some olive oil / herbs for cooking etc, just a few basics. Saying that, the house and views were wonderful and it was clean and plentiful hot water and heating was very easy to use. We loved the amount of things in the area to do in easy reach from beaches to castles to book shops! Overall a great stay Thank you x

• "A property with a perfect name, Viewpoint, sums up this property, the views front and back are spectacular, particularly when the weather is as good as we got."

  The property itself is ideally located for great walks. The garden is very dog proof and parking is perfect, although street view gave me the complete wrong impression. This is a property we would love to return to, as long as our puppy doesn't grow too much!

• "We have stayed here a few times now."

  The house suits us perfectly. It’s a great location and has the things we need. A decent bed. Smart tv, great views, parking, modern feel, spacious it’s all good. I would have liked a welcome Pack. I know it’s maybe sometimes a waste but a bottle of wine just makes it more welcoming and I’d have enjoyed a glass or two to mark the first night. It’s a small issue though.

• "Absolutely stunning views, a really light, modern and comfortable cottage."

  An excellent position with a good walk into Alnmouth, we enjoyed walking in across the beach and back across the coastal path. We were so lucky to see the Aurora on two nights. Would love to visit again with friends, parking is for one car only though. Am guessing a welcome pack is no longer provided.

• "This was our third visit - the views are outstanding, watching the golfers with the sea in the distance in one direction and across the valley to Alnwick in the other Viewpoint had everything we needed and the location is perfect both as a base for exploring or just walking the circuit to Alnmouth and back along the beach."

• "We had a delightful week at Viewpoint which surpassed our expectations particularly the spectacular 360 degree views from the upstairs lounge area."

  It made a handy base to explore the North East and we plan to return. Our only gripe was that Sykes website denied us the possibility of contacting the owners directly to discuss a specific matter prior to arrival, the list of questions we were ‘allowed’ to ask was too generic.

• "As many reviews already state: Viewpoint met our expectations and more."

  The house is very comfortable, cosy and well equipped though a few covered microwave dishes and towel hook in utility would be useful. The location is perfect offering walks from the doorstep - to be able to walk into Alnmouth via road or coastal path was a real bonus. The views are wonderful (great to have Juliet balcony) and the enclosed garden is well maintained - a lovely private space complete with table and chairs. Clean and bright with comfy beds. Easy to find using Satnav. Our expectations were exceeded and we would definitely stay again.

• "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!!

  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.

  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.

  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 .

  We have had a wonderful week with the added bonus of staying in this beautiful home with every comfort provided.

  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
