  • "Lovely property and ideal position."

    One or two things need to be addressed to make the stay perfect. There is no information pack to show how to use the fire, the hob(which we couldn’t use), instructions for the heating timer, and bin collection information. The welcome pack could have been better with fresh milk provided. Unfortunately when we arrived, before we let our dog into the back, I discovered that the space had not been cleared of doggie “deposits “ . Very disappointed by that. Would have been good if the parking posts could be lowered . We enjoyed our stay and will look forward to staying again next time we visit Bamburgh.

  • "Perhaps a lamimate near the washing machine to remind everyone to turn off the dryer."

    It was not turmed off when we arrived. Feedback to be published: excellent condition - comfortable sofa and master bed. Kitchen had everything we needed. Bathrooms were very clean and to high specification. Would def reccommend anyone to stay here!

  • "Fabulous property, the photos looked great but still don’t do it justice, the bungalow is so spacious, the bathrooms beautifully appointed."

    Very efficient heating (we had a couple of chilly evenings even in August). The main sofa is a little uncomfortable as it’s a sofa bed, but the beds are very comfortable. Great location for Bamburgh (10 min flat walk) and the fantastic beach just 5 minutes across the dunes. Very limited ‘welcome’ pack.

  • "Couldn’t believe how good the inside was to the outside what’s with all the weeds we had to climb over them to get to the washer in the garage they were at the front door."

    The grates were full of leaves . A information booklet would have been very helpful it took us a bit to work out how to work the hob . UHT for the welcome pack , I wouldn’t bother

  • "Fantastic location with lovely modern house."

    Great beds and showers! However no washing machine per listing and house itself needed a better clean I.e. dirty oven and fridge, dog hairs over floor. House and gardens just need a bit of care.

  • "Lovely modern bungalow directly opposite access to the dunes and beach."

    10 min walk into the lovely village with some great pubs and cafes. Safe garden for dogs and children but all hard landscaped. Easy self catering. Very comfy beds. Highly recommended!

  • "The house is in a lovely position and well kitted out but the reason I have given it a low rating is it smelt of urine!"

    ! On the last day I spoke to the owner who said his wife had been contacted by the cleaners a week or so ago to say they had come in to clean and it stink of urine. The smaller of the two sofas was unusable due to the smell! Apparently a previous rental had a dog.

  • "A lovely situated cottage with easy access to the beach and surrounding facilities."

    The cottage matched its description on line The key safe mechanism needs some maintenance as it took me over 10 minutes to get the keys out. I was in the process of ringing the company to get help. The garden could do with a bit of TLC Otherwise a perfect place to stay. Will try and get booked again!!!

  • "A lovely, warm and comfortable bungalow in a great position, perfect for access to the dunes for walks to the beach and castle."

    Easy parking and good to have a secure garden at the back for the dog. The sensor night lights are a great idea. I would suggest a brief note on working the appliances (it took a bit of head scratching to figure out the hob at first) and maybe the boiler settings. And a draining rack for washing up would have been handy. But these are very minor things in a very well equipped property. Overall, one of the best homes we've stayed in.

  • "I would have liked a smaller teapot, cups and saucers and a milk jug."

    A radio would also have been nice. The welcome pack was abysmal - practically non existent. Other properties provide so much more such as fresh milk, bread, butter, jam, cereals etc plus sometimes sometimes a bottle of wine. However, a lovely comforable bungalow which is very quiet and peaceful.

    Only a short walk over the dunes to the beach. Our dog loved it. Bed very comfy, homely sea themed decor. Everything provided except cleaning materials, but understand this may be a health and safety requirement nowadays. Really enjoyed this lovely stay

    The location is excellent with direct access to the dunes and beach. The accommodation is well equipped and very comfortable. We found the beds were perfect and we were able to enjoy a very good night's sleep. Linen was good quality especially the soft thick towels. We had our dog with us and the layout and garden were 1st class. Already booked to return thanks.

  • "We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful property, very well equipped and perfect for walks every day."

    We did however have a problem trying to work the hob on the oven and their was no instructions on how to use any of the equipment, we muddled through after making a phone call, I do think their should be a file with all of this information in along with important telephone numbers for Dr's, vets etc. Also places to eat and visit would have been a great asset to the holiday let. Apart from that the stay was fantastic. Thank you.

  • "Fantastic place - a really comfortable, spacious and stylish bungalow in a superb position just outside Bamburgh but right across the road from the sand dunes and beach."

    The road is not too busy and never noisy. At the back, there is a private garden which caught the afternoon sun and was a really nice place to sit out in with a cuppa. Bamburgh itself is an absolute delight, a beautiful village and of course the magnificent castle. There are plenty of places to eat, recommended are the Lord Crewe and Victoria Hotel. The coastal scenery is fabulous and it is so easy to get to Seahouses, Craster, Lindisfarne etc for great walks and ambling along the beaches. Highly recommended.

  • "Excellent clean and modern property in perfect location."

    We had a fantastic stay and really liked the property. A few improvements could be made for comfort of your guests: Door hooks in bathrooms for airing towels, pot towels which dry and blankets. Really though these are just practical things about living there and only suggestions for improvements Also the driveway is very odd to access in a larger car. Would recommend to remove the brick wall and flatten to have easier access to the drive.

    Easter holidays so it was nice to be slightly outside the village too. Just across the road and straight into walks to the sea and up to the castle (with lots of deer in the evenings). Perfect. Cottage was super clean and easy to keep clean its everything we needed.
