“We had a lovely stay.”

Easy to park, very near the sea front. Quiet street, food shop 5 mins walking. Pub on the corner with great food. Sea front cafe (needles eye) fantastic with sauna looking out to the sea. Excellent mining museum near by. Handy for coastline. Sofa a bit grubby but not enough to be a problem.

Vince August 2024

“The property was ideal, it had all the facilities that we required.”

It was central to all local amenities, walks, shops, restaurants and pubs etc. We took advantage of the local bus services, the bus stop being just around the corner from the property. We would strongly recommend the property to other holiday makers.

- Vince, August 2024

Dear Guests, Thank you very much for your kind comments. We hope that you had a lovely holiday and a safe journey home. Best wishes, Stephen and Por Property Owner
Judith July 2024

“This holiday cottage was really lovely and lived up to our expectations.”

My only concern was the stairs. They were very steep and I struggled a bit getting up and down. Otherwise excellent and I would happily recommend Salee Cottage to others.

A perfect lil gem ❤️

Liz May 2024

“Really enjoyed my stay - lovely, comfortable cottage with almost everything one might need, but would have very much appreciated a step stool to reach high kitchen shelves for glasses.”

Shower cleaning 'wiper blade' at a lower level for the same reason - I'm 5ft 0ins in my bare feet! Neither was a major issue, just a suggestion for future provision.

- Liz, May 2024

Dear Guest, We are glad that you had a pleasant stay. Thank you for your suggestion about the step stool, and we will remedy this forthwith. Kind regards, Stephen and Por Property Owner

Anne October 2023

“We thought Salee Cottage was lovely.”

Very clean and comfortable.Perfectly situated in the town, and on a nice quiet street. The only drawback we found was the shower-head, which needs replaced.

Gary June 2023

“Lovely holiday home.”

Nicely decorated, well equipped with everything required. Near to beach and shops, which was great. Nearby facilities good, pubs nearby and Maritime Centre with cafe on beach very nice. Newbiggin on sea a quietish little town with great character and some lovely craft shops. Within reasonable driving distance for a day out is National Trust and Alnwick Castle, Farne Islands boat trip (fantastic) and other fabulous beaches. Would definitely recommend.

- Gary, June 2023

Lynn April 2023

“A lovely place to stay, the cottage was beautifully decorated and very comfortable.”

We had some difficulty accessing the key but this was sorted out by a quick call to the owner. There were some issues with the heating and the instructions were unhelpful but we coped. We would definitely recommend Salee Cottage as a base for visiting Northumberland. The Inkspot Craft ale bar was excellent and the Artisan tea room is a must visit.

- Lynn, April 2023

Dear Guests Thank you very much for your kind comments and feedback. We are pleased to hear that you had a lovely time visiting Northhumberland and our cottage felt comfortable to you. We will try our best to sort out the issues with the heating and instructions to ensure that the next guests can enjoy their stay at our cottage. Kind regards Stephen and Por Property Owner
Ann March 2023

“Very homely comfortable and clean near to a number of facilities - fish and chip shop excellent - other takaways but haven't tried them/Endeavour café expensive and the staff don't seem very happy!”

!/ co-op not cheap but has the necessities - a very good café at the Life Boat museum and very reasonable. A market at Amble on Sundays Thank-you for your help Stephen

“A lovely cottage in a lovely area.”

It's on our return visit list.

- Mike, September 2022
Philip July 2022

“The property met all our requirements.”

Had the weather not been excellent we could have made use of the extensive library of books, games and CDs. Situated no more than 5 minutes walk to the shops and beach. A drawer full of leaflets detailing places to visit.

- Philip, July 2022
Pauline May 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Salee cottage.”

Lovely comfy bed and spotless clean. Very quiet street and easy access to other areas of Northumbland. The only thing for me were the stairs, but I knew that before we went. Going up and down the stairs I made that my daily exercise. Very enjoyable holiday. Highly recommend.

- Pauline, May 2022
Dawn April 2022

“Lovely well furnished cottage which was clean and very comfortable.”

Ideally positioned for us. The property was very quiet and it was great to be able to park the car right outside. Will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good base for exploring the Northumberland coast

- Dawn, April 2022
Audrey February 2022

“We found the property very clean and comfortable”

Nina October 2021

“This is our 4th or 5th stay at Salee Cottage.”

Perfect location, good facilities and a nice, warm cottage if staying in the colder months.

- Nina, October 2021
Rachel October 2021

“Clean and comfortable house.”

Fab shower and comfy beds. Very quiet street near to amenities and no issues with parking outside the house. Good base to explore the coast. Loved it.

- Rachel, October 2021
Jean October 2021

“A lovely little cottage very clean and there is everything you need in the cottage and more besides.”

It is in a really good position close to all amenities. 5min walk to the promenade and a good pub at the end of the street. Limited menu for food but food was very good and staff very friendly,infact everyone we met was friendly. It is also in a good location for trips out along the lovely coastline as far as Bamburgh and behond. All in all a lovely stay.

- Jean, October 2021
Jane October 2021

“Great little cottage, very good location, bed could be positioned better, good facilities would have been nice to have a dishwasher, outside bins need to be emptied more often as was full to point of overflowing when we arrived.”

All in all very comfortable and had a great relaxing holiday.

- Jane, October 2021
Gavin September 2021

“A lovely cottage in a lovely small seaside town and brilliant weather all week made it a perfect holiday.”

- Gavin, September 2021
Jennifer August 2021

“It's a very clean, comfortable and cosy cottage on a quiet street.”

Newbiggin-by-the-sea is a lovely town. We enjoyed the beach and the bakery in the town. We enjoyed the private outdoor space at the back of the cottage. There is a good (mostly) off-road cycle route nearby and some lovely walks. The swimming pool at nearby Ashington is an excellent facility.

- Jennifer, August 2021
Brenda Mary July 2021

“Perfect area for exploring the coastline .”

Quiet little town. Very few places to eat out which I would recommend in the town.

- Brenda Mary, July 2021
Ann June 2021

“Very homely, comfortable and very clean.”

Very well equipped with everything needed-free WiFi great reception Parking outside front door great for people like ourselves who find it difficult to carry things these days! Neighbours very nice. Area very good but know Northumberland well - lots to see and do. Recommend the fish at the shop/cafe at Life Boat Museum in village also the Rotary Parkway at Wansbeck Business Pk, very pleasant staff and great steak, reasonably priced. Guests not putting bin out - black bin full, we emptied green bin - they are each put out alternative weeks Monday evening - should have Council bin calendar pinned up as days could change bank hols.

- Ann, June 2021
Kieran May 2021

“Short walk to the town and beach which was good.”

Easy access to lots of areas to visit. The only downside for us was the sharp corners at the end of the bed, the bed frame being too big for the room, inches from the wall which meant you had to walk sideways to get past the bottom of the bed.

- Kieran, May 2021
Judy May 2021

“A very cozy, clean and beautifully decorated cottage with owners who really do care about the experience of the guest.”

We're in the middle of moving, I can't tell you the relief I felt on opening the door to find such a lovely cared for environment. The double room had the comfiest bed with good quality duvet and linens. I slept soundly every single night , so well in fact that I'm going to seek a similar mattress for my new home. Thank you to the owners who clearly take responsibility for the experience of the guest very seriously. Highly recommended.

- Judy, May 2021
Susanne September 2020

“Really lovely property.”

Beautifully appointed and very clean. Very comfortable and all our needs catered for. Lovely quiet location yet village amenities close by. We had a lovely time.

- Susanne, September 2020
Linda September 2020

“Sallee Cottage is extremely well supplied with all that is needed for a very comfortable stay.”

The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of space to store any clothes. The bathroom is lovely, with an excellent shower cubicle. The kitchen is well supplied with equipment and the living space is very well arranged. There is an Indian restaurant and an Italian restaurant in easy walking distance and both are excellent and we would highly recommend them. The road network is good and Newbiggin is a good place to use as a base to see Northumberland.

- Linda, September 2020
Linda August 2019

“Lovely clean and comfortable cottage.”

Beautifully decorated and with everything we could possibly need. We really felt at home here. A lovely location and base for exploring Northumberland.

- Linda, August 2019
Donna June 2019

“Lovely place to stay.”

The cottage is comfortable and homely, really clean and everything you need. Parking is no problem at all, even though it’s street parking, we got parked outside our door all week. A relaxing and quiet location. Highly recommended.

- Donna, June 2019
R.M. June 2019

“I was not happy with the main bedroom.”

The bed was too long for the space with a wooden end .This meant that I had to slide carefully along the wall to avoid banging my knees to get to the other side of the room window, dresser, wardrobe etc. There was only one bedside table and lamp on the far side of the bed. We used the laundry box as a table for glasses, book etc. The kitchen was very good but unfortunately the cooker switch also switches off both fridges as I discovered after 24 hours! This is surely not safe?

- R.M., June 2019
Gilbert June 2019

“This was the first time I had slept in the terrance house straight onto the road.”

It was very quiet and no problem with parking the car. The people who were responsible for cleaning, Joanne, were very helpful with ensuring that all the equipment of the "cottage" worked ok Compact but very well appointed.

- Gilbert, June 2019
Linda May 2019

“Newbiggin is ideally situated for anyone wishing to explore Northumberland and itself has a selection of excellent restaurants.”

Follow the art trail to really explore this lovely little town.

- Linda, May 2019
Irene May 2019

“Lovely well equipped cottage.”

Had everything we needed. Near to the beach and shops. Had a bit of trouble finding the cottage as one side of the road was Queen street and the other was New Queen Street, but once we knew how to negotiate the one way system was fine. Very quiet area. Only draw back is having to park in the street and hoping there is a space.

- Irene, May 2019
Alan March 2019

- Alan, March 2019
John December 2018

“Description of kitchen facilities did not specify that instead of a conventional fridge there was only a larder type, so nowhere to store frozen food, freeze ice packs for cookbook, or make ice cubes for a drink.”

Apart from this facilities were very good.

- John, December 2018
Amy October 2018

“The location was the house was so close to the beach and local amenities, the co-op was less than 5mins walk round the corner.”

And plenty of pubs within a short walk too. Having never stayed in Newbiggin before, we found the people friendly and very accommodating. A couple of places to go if you stay there, or visit... Melanies Tea Room was fantastic, The Ink Spot micropub is a little gem, generally a Lovely place to stay. I couldn't recommend Sykes cottages highly enough. We have stayed in their cottages a few times now, never disappointed.

- Amy, October 2018
J September 2018

“First class accommodation, spotlessly clean, very comfortable.”

A small freezer unit would be handy, and a teapot ! as us yorkshire folk like to brew their tea in a teapot. Very enjoyable.

- J, September 2018
David September 2018

“The directions could do with tweaking a bit as it it took us over half an hour to find it.”

Suggest on the directions it is made clear that after the left turn by the Victoria pub the next right is an alleyway then at the top of that the left turn is over some ramped kerbs and New Queen street and Queen Street are the same place just different sides of the street. otherwise the directions were fine.

- David, September 2018
David September 2018

“Never having had a "cottage holiday" we were a bit wary about what to expect at Salee Cottage.”

Wow!! what a place --a home from home. Everything we wanted was there. One could spend a week there without going out, there was TV (freesat), a DVD player with about 200 DVDs, two shelves of books to read, a radio/CD player and plenty of games. The cottage is a terraced house with very friendly neighbours. Comfortable beds with linen provided and a well fitted out bathroom, towels provided, together with an exceptionally furnished lounge made the holiday a welcome break from the tedium of daily life.

- David, September 2018
Brian July 2018

“We were the first occupants of a recently refurbished house.”

Teething problems with a blocked shower drain!! Quickly resolved by maintenance company. The house is tastefully decorated and furnished. Enjoyed our stay.
