  • "We have just returned from a week’s holiday at The Haven in North Sunderland."

    We’ve had a fantastic stay in this conveniently located cottage. The cottage itself is only a 10 minute walk into Seahouses and all amenities. It has everything you could need for a great holiday. There’s a spacious lounge with a dining area. We didn’t use the fire but I imagine that it would be really cosy on cooler nights. The kitchen is really well equipped and the welcome gifts of shortbread, fudge, tea, coffee and a treat pack for our dog was a lovely surprise. There is a downstairs bathroom and an enclosed area outside which is a little sun trap! Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with plenty of storage. The beds are comfortable. There’s also an upstairs loo. The whole cottage was clean and tastefully furnished. We parked directly outside the cottage all week with no issues. We come to Northumberland each year for a week away. We usually stay a little further out but The Haven has changed our mind. It’s such a lovely place and hopefully will become our regular ‘Haven’. Thank you.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at The Haven."

    Comfortable, cosy cottage with excellent facilities. It was in an ideal location for a lovely walk down to the beach and the little town of Seahouses. Everywhere we went was very pet friendly which was essential for our little dog, Flo. Would have liked to have had a longer stay so we could have explored the surrounding countryside.

    We’re very glad you enjoyed your stay. The countryside is well worth exploring so please come back! Property Owner

  • "The Haven is a well-appointed, spacious cottage with two good size bedrooms and comfortable beds."

    The property owner responded promptly to questions by text. The only slight difficulty in high season was that parking on the street outside became a bit competitive.

    Parking can unfortunately bring out a competitive streak in people in high season, as you say. We’re glad you found the cottage comfortable and we hope you’ll visit again. Property Owner

  • "Had a great week staying at the Haven, it had everything we needed for our stay and was within walking distance (approx 1 mile) to both Seahouses & the beach."

    Very dog friendly with a small enclosed gravelled area outside & even a doggy welcome pack

  • "Comfortable, well-equipped cottage located in one of the prime areas of Northumberland."

    The furnishings are tasteful and high quality as are the beds/bedding. The kitchen lacks nothing! Easy access to Seahouses, Alnwick, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island. Seahouses, with its shops and pubs, is a 10 minute walk away. The dunes and the long sandy beach (perfect for dogs) are 5 minutes away by car. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again. n.b.Be aware that the stairs are steep so not perfect for those with mobility problems.

  • "Lovely, well equipped cottage in great, quiet location."

    The bed was soooo comfortable!!! Excellent base for visiting the surrounding area...our dog loved the beaches. The staircase is quite steep,which was mentioned in the description, just please be aware of this. The only downside was the hot water...we gave up in the end and just boiled the kettle to do the washing up. Fortunately the shower was electric. All in all a lovely place to stay.

    We are delighted that you enjoyed the cottage and the surrounding area. The hot water shouldn’t have been a problem and we’re sorry you experienced difficulties with it. It does take a very, very long time to reach the kitchen but there should have been plenty of hot water available. Please, if you choose to stay again, don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you might have. Our contact details are in the visitor information folder. Property Owner

  • "The Haven was a lovely cottage to stay in for our Christmas holiday."

    We appreciated the festive decorations and extra little treats too. We enjoyed walking on the sandy beaches nearby and visiting historical sites. The local shop was within a ten minute walk and was well stocked.

    Thank you for the great review. We’re glad you enjoyed yourselves and look forward to welcoming you back soon! Property Owner

  • "A well maintained cottage in a quiet area a short walk away from Seahouses."

    The back yard is fully fenced in which was fantastic for the dog as was the welcome pack you provided for them (and us!) We found the kitchen well equipped and on street parking wasn't a problem. The log burning stove was broken on arrival (glass in the door was smashed) and although materials had been left for a fire, this wasn't fixed during our stay so we weren't able to use the stove. As mentioned in previous reviews, the beds are very comfy and although the main bathroom is downstairs, there is a small toilet and sink upstairs for night time visits! Overall we had a fantastic stay and would certainly visit again.

    We are glad you enjoyed your visit and we would be delighted to welcome you back to The Haven. Unfortunately the entire stove needed replacing and it was not possible to do this whilst the cottage was occupied. I’m sorry we didn’t communicate this information whilst you were staying.

  • "We loved staying in this cosy and spacious cottage."

    On arrival, we were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. The bedrooms were light and airy and the beds so comfortable. The cottage is situated in the area of North Sunderland which is a comfortable 15 minute walk to the centre. We liked being slightly away from the centre as it was very quiet at night and we had the best sleep! We also liked sitting outside on the bench in the front garden every morning. The kitchen is well equipped and it was nice to have access to an outside space at the back. We would definitely return to The Haven, thank you.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback! We have passed your comment on to our cleaning team. We are updating our instructions for heating the water. Thank you for your suggestion. Property Owner

    We had to climb over the wall to get out of the property, owner was more than helpful. Sykes were not helpful at all, didn’t call us back when they said they would, left us without a property which the owner sorted themselves. We won’t be using Sykes again.
