    “This property is well furnished.”

    It is however probably one of the dirtiest holiday cottages we have stayed in. Baths, showers and loos had been cleaned but on closer inspection there was built up dirt, dust and cobwebs that have been allowed to accumulate throughout the cottage. You never felt clean staying in this property. Bed linen and pillows are worn; the mattress protector we used was in need of a good wash. The kitchen was poorly equipped and certainly not what could be described as a "self-catering" property ...

    It is however probably one of the dirtiest holiday cottages we have stayed in. Baths, showers and loos had been cleaned but on closer inspection there was built up dirt, dust and cobwebs that have been allowed to accumulate throughout the cottage. You never felt clean staying in this property. Bed linen and pillows are worn; the mattress protector we used was in need of a good wash. The kitchen was poorly equipped and certainly not what could be described as a "self-catering" property because the cookwear was so poor it looked unhygenic to use. There were four frying pans in a drawer all of which need disposing of and replacing and likewise for the non stick pans. Roasting tins are also in an appauling state and not suitable for use. Other pans need a good clean. The oven and hob were in a reasonable and clean condition. A lot of the crockery is also well past its useful life with the glaze scratched and worn on many items. The extractor above the hob is filthy and clearly has not be cleaned for a long time. We have some photographs to evidence our thoughts on this property. In conclusion, the cleaners of this property can have no pride in their work, the owners should be embarrased about renting a property in this condition and Northumbria Cottages clearly do not carry out periodic inspections of properties that are clearly not as described. The area around the property is stunning but our holiday marred by the conditions we stayed in.

About the location

BAMBURGH

Seahouses 3.5 miles; Beadnell 5.1 miles; Alnwick 16.9 miles.

The village’s sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and dominates this part of the county’s coastline. Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Although overshadowed by the great castle, Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.
