"Beautiful lodge, high spec with fantastic view of Bamburgh castle."
Would definitely return as luxurious home from home accommodation. Everything you need and shower and bath was fantastic and easy to use. No negatives but constructive feedback - hot tub would be a welcome addition, toilet roll holders very flimsy and falling off wall, bed in master bedroom
Could do with firmer mattress as fall into middle of bed. Rules and regulations lists are the strictest I’ve known. These are minors, please don’t be out off or think accommodation is not satisfactory as overall the lodge is beautiful, clean and of a very high standard and would definitely recommend and return to same lodge.

"Overall a really beautiful place to stay and we’d love to go back."
We didn’t have pets but really wanted to stay here. We didn’t see any signs of dogs having stayed which is a definite plus as we were concerned about this (doggy smells).
Welcome pack was great and info before arrival was spot on.
Only minor points to note - towels are very thin and poor quality. Some thick fluffy towels would add to the luxury of the beautiful lodge.
Mattresses could be thicker because they are free standing beds and not divan.
Some free standing clothes rails would also be a welcome addition, as we had nowhere to hang clothes in two of the bedrooms.
We did note a slightly unpleasant smell in the main bedroom, possibly drains, which may need attention. We needed to leave the window open all the time when we were there to combat the smell.
The cottage is really beautiful though and the view of the castle is absolutely spectacular
Outside seating areas were great.
This feedback is for the owner only

"I had to repair bed support in third room."
Shower over bath was unusable. No provision of washing liquid/tablets for dishes. Welcome pack was a nice touch but having a bread maker available with no supplies/instructions was frustrating. The property was lovely with a great view.
Dear James,
We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.
Had the issues with the bed and shower been reported to us, as instructed in the welcome pack, they would have been dealt with immediately. Unfortunately we received no communication about these problems.
There is an initial supply of both dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid in the cleaning pack that is left in the kitchen for every guest. Apologies if you didn’t find this but it was left on the sink.
Regarding the bread maker, the instructions are in the pack with all the instruction manuals, as indicated in the welcome pack.
As is standard practice in most holiday rentals, we unfortunately don’t provide ingredients to use in any of the kitchen equipment provided.
We are glad to hear that you otherwise found the property lovely and enjoyed the great view.
Best regards
Keri (owner)

"Cleanliness issues."
Several stains on bottom sheets and on mattress which was discovered after cover was removed on leaving.(photos available) Oven looked clean but found when it came to use the oven very dirty and grimy with caked on grease on the bottom and sides which needed a thorough clean. Instructions for use of appliances should have been more prominent rather in utility room cupboard hidden amongst cleaning utensils.

"Lovely very comfortable property in a gorgeous location."
The lodge had everything we needed including a very nice welcome pack. Thank you. The weather was also lovely so we were able to explore the beautiful coast and countryside that Northumberland has to offer.

"Two niggling issues were attended to within a few hours."
Lovely lodge and fantastic location.
However, heating the water did take a while if we all had showers (4 adults) so may take longer with kids and baths perhaps.

"Thank you for providing the most perfect holiday accomodation."
My husband had a fall and fractured his pelvis 6 days before we were due to travel to Northumberland but thanks to the location and facilities at Shearwater Lodge we all had a very enjoyable and relaxing week.
We will definitely be back ....

"Thank you for a lovely stay in your cabin."
Everything was so thought out, it was really comfortable and clean, and I felt it was a really special place. The location is amazing, so many great walks right from the doorstep, I loved the sheep and cows in the field, and the wild flowers in the hedgerows were amazing. It was such a relaxing spot to appreciate nature, unwind and forget the hustle and bustle.

"I thoght the lodge was lovely and set out well."
It would have been more beneficial if I had received the digital welcome pack before we had arrived but it was delayed, however, I contacted the owner who gave us the WFI code but other informayion would have been helpful. There were only enough logs for one night, we had to buy more. There weren't any bin bags other than the ones that were in the bin. The hot water went off on Saturday morning so not all of us could get a hot shower.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback and we are pleased you liked the lodge. I can, however, see that the digital welcome pack was delivered to you on the online portal more than 24 hours prior to your arrival so I am unsure why you thought it was delayed. As advised in the welcome pack, the hot water system is a (very large) tank but obviously if many adults take long showers consecutively then it will run out and take a few hours to reheat. Regarding the logs, again as in the welcome pack, we supply a generous starter pack for the fire. We hope you otherwise enjoyed your stay.
