  • "A beautiful property with a great view."

  • "Clean comfortable - excellent location ."

    Good to have instruction manuals for equipment. Welcome pack appreciated . Kitchen very well equipped. Beds comfortable. Parking can be difficult - not as described . PLEASE ensure that when inputting entry code the "Code" button needs to be pressed FIRST before inputting numbers, as this can be a rather stressful start to the holiday....

  • "Well appointed modern apartment with views overlooking the sea and Bamburgh Castle in the near distance."

    Handy for a walk into the village of Seahouses or a stroll around the harbour. Standout features were the extremely comfortable double bed, gated security and the overall cleanliness of the accommodation. The "welcome" book was well thought out and not just a jumble of papers and notes. Two issues gave pause for thought. Control of the heating was remote from the property via an email to the owner, who in fairness responded quickly to a request to "turn it up a bit", as the weather in our first few days was cold and wet. Temperature set points in the living area rose but the bathrooms stayed cool. I feel it should be made clear in the listing that if you park in the designated parking place you will block at least two other spaces so parking is really "first come first served" in the spots provided for visitors. Nothing the owners can do about this but if it gets busy you may have to park in a public car park, for which a complimentary permit is provided. If these issues are of no concern then Bernicia would be a good choice for a holiday destination, with regular boat trips out to the Farne Islands, and Holy Island a little further afield. Sea birds and marine life aplenty.

  • "2nd stay at this apartment and love everything about it."

    The apartment has everything we need plus more & the views are amazing. Might even spot a few dolphins if you are lucky.

    Thank you for choosing us again Edward. Dolphin-spotting is indeed a very special treat if you’re in luck. Property Owner

  • "We were delighted to stay here and would gladly return."

    The combination of good accommodation and location, particularly with the balcony view, makes it hard to imagine anything better in Seahouses. Brilliant!

    Thank you for your positive feedback John. We’d be inclined to agree about the view! Property Owner

  • "Absolutely fabulous property."

    The location speaks for itself. One issue we did have was not being able to get fully warm and therefore totally comfortable at certain times of the day. The opportunity to increase the heating would have made all the difference (we’re not all hardy northerners). That was the only issue in what was an otherwise fabulous holiday - thank you. We would love to come back again at some point.

    Many thanks for the feedback Ian and apologies that the heating wasn't set at a comfortable level for you. We would have been able to adjust this for you if we had been informed at the time so we have added a note into the customer folder to make this option clearer for future visitors. Hopefully that won't be required if we get some lovely warm weather soon! Property Owner

  • "Wonderful, spacious apartment overlooking the sea!"

    Just what we needed to destress!! Great position for all amenities and close enough to great sites like Bamburgh castle. Excellent facilities and some nice personal touches we noticed. We had a lovely stay! Thank you!

    Thank you for taking the time to post your lovely feedback Stuart, we certainly find that just sitting and watching the sea is a great stress-reliever too. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "Bernicia is a very comfortably furnished spotlessly clean property with all you need to have a great holiday."

    A lovely view from the balcony and from where we sat in the chairs with our glasses of wine poured from the bottle chilled to perfection in the wine fridge, we could watch the sunset next to Bamburgh Castle. I would highly recommend this apartment and congratulate the owners on their attention to detail in making this a superb holiday home. We will return.

    That's wonderful to hear Laura, we really appreciate when guests take the time to leave such positive feedback. Thank you Property Owner

  • "Wow! What a view."

    You can see the Farne Isles, Holy Island, and Bamburgh Castle from the living area, and even better from one of the two balconies. The apartment itself is fabulously furnished, with high quality furniture and fittings. The kitchen is fantastic with high end appliances that just make cooking so much easier. It's location is in and above Seahouses so you are in the midst of the town but above the noise and bustle; yet the shops, pubs and restaurants are only a 2 minute walk away. Fabulous. Would definitely stay there again.

    Thank you Simon, really pleased to hear you enjoyed both the apartment and the location. Look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful break here, highly recommended for a relaxing stay, wonderful views and lots to see and do on the doorstep and in the area."

    The accommodation was outstanding, full of home comforts and personal touches, without feeling as though you were in someone else’s home. Everything that we needed was on hand. We certainly appreciated the welcome pack of tea, biscuits and milk after our journey. Beds were extremely comfortable, high quality mattresses, bedding and towels added to the luxury feel. We will be returning!

    Thank you Louise, we're really pleased to hear you felt relaxed and comfortable during your stay. Just how a holiday should be! Property Owner
