“Tired and unloved.”

Unclean and musty upon arrival. Owner states this was a result of previous booking being cancelled resulting in the property being empty for a week - improbable. Bed linen clean but tired and not ironed. Remember to bring loo roll as these are not provided. £35.00 compensation promised but, to date, has not been paid.

“Excellent holiday home.”

Very comfy, quite clean, would definitely stay again. Just 1 wee issue of spider webs in most corners of the house! both myself & my wife have a slight phobia

“Overall property was ok.”

The location was fantastic with amenities within walking distance. However it definitely requires a good clean, we had to spend the first evening cleaning the grill tray and the majority of the dishes as they were all still dirty. There was a large stain on the carpet at the entrance, the sofa was very old and had been covered to try to stop the smell of must escaping. We had tried to hoover the carpet and found a very smelly hoover with no attachment to be able to hoover properly.

“Visited this property over a few years now and it’s beginning to look as if it needs some TLC to freshen up a bit.”

- Leslie, September 2023

Thanks you for your feedback. Over the winter we have refreshed the decor, some of the furniture and equipment and the linen so now it should be ready for new guests! Property Owner

“Most uncomfortable property we have ever stayed in.”

The comments are all the same from previous visitors in the visitors book. Why have these not been addressed by the owners? Furniture looks as if it has been reclaimed from the dump and extremely uncomfortable. The mattress was rock hard so sleeping was difficult. Crockery out the ark and old wooden spoons. No sieve. We only had cereal for breakfast and ate out the rest of the time. Only good thing was the property was close enough to walk to the shops and harbour. Everything is tired and dated.

- David, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We changed the mattress this year as previous comments suggested it was too soft! We have now purchased a mattress topper so guests can vary increase the softness if they prefer. Some of the furniture and crockery are individually chosen and/or restored from house and vintage sales. Over the winter we have refreshed the decor, some of the furniture and equipment and the linen. There is both a sieve and a colander, I am sorry you did not find it. Property Owner

“The cottage was in a great location - Amble is a perfect place from which to see Northumberland and has good restaurants and shops.”

The street was quiet and characterful. The cottage was clean, but felt a little damp. There was a dripping tap in the kitchen, with an arrangement to fix it after we left. The bed in the main bedroom was uncomfortable. The second bedroom had no bedside table. The bathroom was new, clean and in good condition. The kitchen was well equipped and ideal for what we needed, although we only had breakfast and drinks there. It was fine for 4 nights, but I am not sure I would have wanted to stay in the cottage longer.

“Located in Amble, a few minutes walk from the shops in the high street and the harbour, Sea Air is the ideal base to explore the Northumberland coast.”

The house is comfortable and has everything you would need. There is in street parking; we were always able to park outside the front door. For people with dogs there is a green just across the road. We would recommend without question

“Bed very uncomfortable Spiders and webs in every corner of house.”

Spider phobic partner. Very dated decoration and furniture.

“Whilst the property was well equipped it did look like it had been furnished with odds and sods.”

The cleanliness was poor and the property was very tired with some furniture and various decorating issues. There were trailing wires in the lounge which could have caused problems. There were cables hanging down underneath the kitchen cupboards. These are really a safeguarding issue. Upon contacting Sykes the call handler made all the right noises regarding attending to same and promised to call back. When chasing the same handler said they had contacted the owner as Sykes were not responsible for maintenance of property. I disagreed as I had a contract with them not the owner and asked for their Manager to call me which never happen. I’ve did contact owner but didn’t come to inspect the property and I provided photos and a video to highlight the state of the accommodation. When highlighting the state of the back space and rotten gate the owner said the outside space wasn’t really for use but there is a washing machine and line plus an outside shed for the storage of bikes if needed. The gate could not be used so if s bike was being stored it would have had to go through the cottage.

“Sea Air is a lovely, comfortable cottage in a quiet location, opposite a green ideal for dog-walking, and a short walk to the town centre, harbour and beach.”

Comfy beds, plenty of clothes storage, well-equipped kitchen and warm when heating is required. Tasteful coastal theme running through the house.

“Excellent property.”

First class equipment in kitchen. Ideal for dog owners, as outside there was a railway line that had been transformed into a walkway, with dog litter bins at frequent intervals.

About the location

AMBLE

Warkworth 1 mile; Alnmouth 4 miles.

The bustling little seaport of Amble is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. Historically a centre for boatbuilding, Amble offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters. There is a fish centre on the side of the harbour that is now primarily a shell fish hatchery to re-stock levels of lobster and other shell fish, this sells local fish and is open to the public. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an RSPB reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be arranged. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb beaches are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach.
