    "Having stayed at the property several times I was sorry to see its deterioration."

    It has obviously suffered inside and out from disrespectful dog owners. The lovely garden has been neglected and is completely overgrown which is such a shame. Wayside cottage is in a great location but it is in need of updating, care and attention.

    "We have stayed at Wayside Cottage twice before."

    The location is fantastic. This visit we noticed that the garden really needs some maintenance, it’s way too overgrown. It has never bothered us that the cottage is a bit dated as it is comfortable and clean but now, some of the kitchen ware needs updating- there are chipped mugs and plates. Just small things but easy to put right and would improve anyone elses stay.

    "The property was very clean."

    The heating worked extremely well which was fortunate as the house was cold when we arrived. Although rather dated the house was generally comfortable. Security light wasn’t working so needed phone light to use door key and a large doormat to protect the carpet would be helpful( we used a large dog towel on the floor) as would a large plastic boot/ shoe tray. Better instructions for the oven needed ! Nevertheless , we had a lovely week and thought the house was good value for money.

    "On arrival the property hadn’t been cleaned and there wasn’t any clean bedding."

    We also didn’t have any heating in the lounge or hot water. The maintenance company were able to provide bedding and did offer a clean the next day. It took 2.5 days to sort the heating but we were without hot water for 4.5 of our 6 days in the property and are still waiting for recognition of the impact on our holiday despite returning home yesterday. Despite the outstanding rating this is a no frills property which would benefit from a new mattress in the front bedroom and an update of cutlery. Having stayed there on numerous occasions this is disappointingly not what we are used to

    "We were very comfortable in Wayside Cottage and would recommend it to anyone."

    It was clean, comfortable with easy parking and an enclosed garden for our dog which gave us peace of mind. It's very convenient for the pub in High Newton and The Ship in Low Newton. The Golf Club House at Embleton also did good food after a lovely coastal and inland walk. Lovely walks from the doorstep - Craster in one direction and Beadnell in the other. Hope to return sometime.

    "Wayside cottage, was an ideal location to all surrounding beaches, walks and other villages within the vicinity - we did miss a local shop for basic requirements and ended up going to Seahouses to do a basic shop."

    We had a slight issue with basic cleanliness on some of the glasses and crockery, but otherwise a very, comfortable, warm and cosy cottage - I'm sure we will be visiting and staying in this area again, in the not too distant future.....beautiful part of the country

    "Wayside is in a beautiful area ( one of our favourite places) and benefits from the great location, good sized rooms and an enclosed garden."

    The decor is a bit dated and compared to other properties we have stayed in in the area was missing a few basics eg hairdryer, oven gloves, spare rubbish bags etc These were minor inconveniences and we still had a lovely time there

    "This is the second time we have stayed in Wayside and it didn't disappoint."

    Location is 5* and the cottage itself is just honest and lovely. Yes, it's dated but it is clean, comfortable and cosy (even though its spacious). Perfect when you have 2 children and a dog. The garden is magical for the children and really well maintained. The Ship, Football Hole, Beadnell Beach, Low Newton (with its amazing view of Dunstanburgh Castle) are all in easy walking distance. Everything else is an easy drive. The only thing it lacks is a tumble dryer but who wants to do washing on holiday anyway

    A relatively short walk from the beach and the nature reserve and located approximately half way between Seahouses and Alnwick.The cottage is very well equipped with all the facilities we needed. We found the beds comfortable and the bathroom facilities good. We loved the garden and all the bird life in it. The Joiner's Arms is almost next door and provides excellent take away fish and chips. This was our second visit to the cottage this year.
