"Cowrie Cottage was a gem of a find."
It’s bigger inside than expected and very cosy and comfortable. The location is perfect, really close to the beach and surrounded by nice coffee shops and eateries. There was a lovely welcome pack that included treats for our dog. Parking right outside, it’s a pedestrian street too so very quiet. We’d definitely stay again if we come back to this area.

"Cowrie Cottage far exceeded our expectations."
It was warm, welcoming, spotlessly clean and much more spacious than we anticipated. The hosts have gone out of their way to provide everything you could possibly need and more (including treats for us and our dog Saffie!) The location is very convenient just 2 minutes away from the beach and lovely walks in either direction, either to Whitley Bay or Tynemouth. We found the information pack provided very useful, which included recommendations of places to visit and to eat etc. of which we tried several. The nearby Co-op store was also handy, and had freshly baked pastries in a morning! We highly recommend Cowrie Cottage and would love to return. Thank you Julie for your excellent communication. Mike, Eileen and Saffie.

"It’s a lovely cottage with friendly, helpful owners."
It’s deceptively spacious downstairs with the living room, dining room and kitchen. The wc upstairs is a boon. It’s in a great location, so handy for the local eateries, the beach and the metro station to take you further afield. My brother stayed there last year, he’s planning his next visit - as am I. A brilliant place to stay.

"What a beautiful cottage and it was absolute pleasure to stay here."
It is fabulously decorated and has everything you could possibly need. There is a shop two minutes walk away, and parking is over the road - perfect. You can walk to the seafront in literally 30 seconds! Great location and we had the best time. I would totally recommend to stay here and we will be back. Thanks Sophie!

"The cottage was wonderful; it felt like home as soon as we'd walked through the door."
The photos on the website didn't do it justice - it seemed much larger than we had initially expected. Everything was of exceptional quality and the whole cottage was spotless. The décor was very stylish.
The cottage's location was perfect - close to the sea front, but away from any noise. The Co-op store was 2 minutes walk away and had everything we needed that first night. We found another grocer nearby the morning we left ! (I'm sorry, but I can't remember the street the grocer is on, but they had fabulous deli items and artisan breads). We walked into Tynemouth and Whitley Bay , and on another day caught the Metro into Newcastle, all within walking distance.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback Denise ! So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Cowrie Cottage and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future
For future guests the local grocers is Jamieson's of Cullercoats on St George's Road just 5 minutes walk from the cottage - it is well worth a visit !

We found it to be very comfortable, well equipped and much larger downstairs than we had imagined. It is ideally placed with only a short walk to the Co-op, Metro, Pub/Restaurant, a variety of takeaways and coastal walks. Brilliant that it is dog friendly too.

"A beautiful cottage with everything needed inside for a self catering cottage ."
The heating controls were very easy and enabled us to turn it off if out , once heated the cottage held the heat well . We did use the log burner on a couple of evenings which made it very cosy. The bathroom was lovely and warm with a good 2 head shower and the bath was wonderful to soak in as deep. Bedroom was large although we did need to remember to duck to avoid the low parts of the ceiling , comfy bed and bedding.
Area has wonderful walks up and down the coastline , the best sunrises , lots of bars and places to eat . Metro station is very close and easy to use to get into Newcastle .

There’s loads to do in the area and so many cute independent cafes, restaurants and bars locally. Cannot wait to return!

"The property was immaculate and a lot looked new."
The only negative was the lack of a microwave. (I also couldn't get the induction hob to work, possibly my problem). Also couldn't find an iron but as I didn't need one didn't search too much.
The property was in a superb location and provided an excellent base to explore the area.
Hi Christine,
Thanks for your comments we have taken them on board and there is now a microwave and iron in the cottage.
In regards to the hob you should have just given me a ring and I would have popped over to show you how it worked.
