Pleasent stay.
The property is in a great location, the facilities are great, it's short of nothing. Russel (owner) was easy to contact and Ray (maintenance) was pleasant and efficient. The only negative I found was the TV was rather dated with poor sound quality. My mother is hard of hearing and there was no option to add subtitles. I know that may sound picky but if there a bad weather day you need some entertainment in the property. I'd just ask Russel to update that and it's 100%.

Hi, We are so pleased that you thought both location and facilities were great, and thank you for your feedback regarding one of the TVs. As the TV you remarked about is full HD so relatively modern, I assumed it would have an option for subtitles. I will check this at the earliest opportunity, along with the other 2 TVs at the property, and make necessary changes, if required.

Beautiful house by the sea
The photos don't do it justice, this is a lovely spacious spotless cottage with everything you need to have a relaxing holiday. Quiet location within a few minutes walk to the beach and into Seahouses. Russell was so helpful and answered any questions we had promptly. We were welcomed with some very generous welcome gifts! Lovely neighbours too who helped us locate the keybox on arrival. We really fell in love with the place can highly recommend. We certainly hope to be back in the future.

Nice location
Adequately furnished, one double bed, and 2 singles Good location on small estate, easy access to towns along the coast and inland. Short walk to rocky beach, but sandy beaches still within reach. Also a short walk into seahouses for shops and restaurants. Owner kept in contact before and during our stay

Lovely holiday home
House was clean, airy and very comfortable. Russell has thought of everything, down to sellotape! Welcome pack best I've had. A short stroll to coastal path, harbour and shops. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Seaside House
We stayed week commencing 22nd July 2023. The facilities at the house were very well suited to our requirements. It is a short walk from the harbour and the supermarket. We came across a playpark in the local estate (on the side of the petrol station). The children enjoyed the rock pools and the local beaches. Bamburgh Castle is a short drive away and there is a lovely park area close by. We did the Holy Island boat trip which was well worth the price we paid. The neighbours are friendly and very helpful. Oh and free parking is designated for the house.

Smashing house
Perfectly located for easy walks either along the main road or the cliff path into Seahouses. Lovely to arrive and find milk in the fridge and some treats in the lounge - most welcome. House was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The lady who lives next door and looks after the house was very welcoming. Nice to have two allocated parking spaces as our adult daughter drove herself up so we had two cars. Sadly it rained quite a lot but we still managed to have a smashing time with this lovely house as a base. One thing to note is that the fridge has a good sized freezer under it - very useful if you buy some frozen ready meals to make your life easier as we did! Loved the seaside themed decoration. Thanks for a great stay.

Lovely Holiday House in Seahouses
Perfect for our week in Seahouses, this comfortable house is well equipped and in a great position just on the edge of town. Everything is in walking distance and we enjoyed our evening strolls via the headland (accessed by a path at the end of the road) towards the harbour very much. There is a nice back garden with outdoor seating, and glimpses of the sea from the front of the house that were lovely to see. My daughter loved the fact she could see the Farne Islands from her bedroom window too - a very pleasant place to spend a family holiday in a beautiful part of Northumberland.

Very nice location and lovely quiet estate very convenient to visit the areas around. The house wasn't as clean as we expected but nothing too serious. The one downside was that the main bathroom needs a shower especially if you are renting with older children or parents, but all in all very nice house

So sorry to hear the property didn't live up to your expectations. As for the cleaning, without any details, it is difficult to know what the issue was, but I will bring to attention of the cleaning team, who do take pride in cleaning and maintaining the property to a very high standard. We do receive many Thank You cards and repeat bookings, that prove this. As for an extra shower, the property does have a shower cubicle in the ensuite, as well as a hand held shower over the bath in main bathroom. Along with a downstairs w/c, I believe this 2 bedroom property is well equipped on that front. We always take onboard any constructive criticism, but do not believe it is fully justified in this case. You also failed to mention, how we went out of our way to allow you to park your car in an undesignated parking place, during your stay. And that, we didn't make an issue of you admittingly damaging a kitchen item.

What you see on the website is what you get an absolute gem of a place to stay clean, warm. comfy and homely in a quiet location walk to the end of the road across a field & you are on the beach a walk along the coastal path and you are in Seahouses. Lewis fish and chips worth the visit and Elan pizzeria is a must. Highly recommend this property.

Perfect Northumberland seaside holiday
The cottage is so welcoming, well equipped and cosy. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach and Seahouses. Would highly recommend to anyone and stay here again. It was great to find a cottage of this quality for the price and nice to see the owner had not inflated the cost due the increase of people holidaying in the UK like many others have this year.

Great location and well-equipped
A very comfortable, thoughtfully decorated and well-equipped property in an excellent location on the edge of Seahouses, a moment’s walk from the seashore and within easy reach of a wealth of beauty spots. The owner made huge efforts to be COVID safe, going as far as alternating TV remotes, the DVD collection and sofa covers between stays and providing two bottles of antibacterial hand gel. It was a shame that the cleanliness of some areas such as the dish drainer, inside of clothing drawers, bathroom accessories and bedroom and bathroom surfaces etc. had been somewhat overlooked and were noticeably grubby on our arrival. The bedding is also rather tired and ill-fitting - next time we would bring our own. Overall, the house is good value in a great part of the UK and we would choose to stay here again.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Aug 2021
Sorry to hear that some of the cleaning was not up to our high standards, we have had staff shortages recently within our cleaning team, but I'm making no excuses. As for the bedding, we do send this away to be cleaned professionally, but this can result in damage to the fastenings on bottom of quilt covers. We are now assessing using this cleaning procedure ...nevertheless, it sounds that you enjoyed your stay at Seaside House, and would return. We do hope so, and we do ensure issues will have been fully resolved.

Excellent accommodation in Seahouses
This is a modern property with everything that you could possibly need for a weeks self catering. It's about a five minute walk along the cliffs to the harbour and the shops. The property also benefits from trouble free parking. The owner takes Covid and the safety of guests very seriously - something that we greatly appreciated. The location is superb for boat trips to the Farnes, as well a coastal walking from your front door. And finally great WiFi should you require it.

Excellent communication from the owner prior to arrival, small issue when we arrived at the property... the key box was empty! Luckily neighbours have access and let us in... previous guests had left keys inside the property. The house is ideally situated for a walk into Seahouses where there are lovely facilities (pubs) We had superb weather and had trips to Holy Island & Bamburgh Castle. We would hope to stay here again. Thank You.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
I'm very sorry to hear that you felt you had some issues at Seaside House. We have checked the hob and not found any problems, the same goes with the flooring, unless you mean a slight creak with a floor board, but I can guarantee the floor is secure. As for the cleanliness, I will pass that on to the cleaning team, as we do pride ourselves in the usual high standards, that we see in our previous reveiws, and "Thank You" cards that we receive from guests. But I am pleased to hear that you had a "very nice holiday"
