“Plus points - Lovely cottage in new build area.”
Nice accessible walks from doorstep and a good base for surrounding landmarks, e.g Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh etc. Clean and modern, with good facilities. Welcome pack with essentials which was appreciated! Use of swimming pool and personal hot tub.
Negative points - Smithy on end of row next to car park so everyone was walking past our window to get to their car as was only access. Only one bedroom had a mirror. During our 1 week stay we suffered 2 major power cuts (one over 12hrs) which, although no direct fault of the owner, hampered our stay quite a bit. Also we had to contact owner ourselves as he didn’t let us know what was happening which was a little frustrating.
Although a designated ‘dark sky’ area, it was difficult to navigate in the dark from the pool back to our cottage - low level lighting may help?
WiFi was hit and miss, no router that we could see, perhaps in adjacent cottage?
All in all we would stay again if these few issues could be improved. A lovely house in a quiet area. Thankyou for having us.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience of the other guests passing your cottage to get to there cars in the temporary parking area but we have completed the work on the correct car park for the new 6 cottages which is behind them and you gain access to it from the main car park. So there is no parking in that area now. We also have some out door lighting that gives you light back from the swimming pool to the cottage. We look forward to welcoming you back if you decide to have a return visit.
