    Chest table in living room is falling apart! Would be nice to have some occasional tables by the sofas for coffee etc A tea towel/cleaning cloth or sponge would have been useful. Parking is not the easiest!

    Comfortable beds and sofas. Clean and spacious. We only used it to sleep, eat breakfast and get ready and it was great for that.

    The parking was a bit restricted and we were asked to move on numerous occasions. The living room did smell of dog which was a little off putting so we did end up buying some air freshener.

    It was in a lovely location and is a very cosy little cottage. We did have a lovely time

    The parking is terrible. It’s says there’s a parking space but there’s notice’s opposite saying you can’t park there. We had numerous people asking us to move our car so that they could park. Also no turning point so had to reverse up a very small lane. This should be mentioned. The other issue is there’s no instructions on how to use the bedroom heaters. There’s a flap on the top you have to lift but unless you know you’d miss it and assume they don’t work.

    The cottage was very comfortable

    Parking facilities were poor and the web advert was misleading as signage has changed since we booked. A better welcome pack would have been appreciated.

    Nice fixtures and fittings. Comfy beds. Location was good for walking into Seahouses. Parking permit was a must due to restrictions at the cottage. Responsive local reps acted quickly when contacted.

    Stayed Mon - Fri and had no hot water until Thurs morning. Kitchen tap dripping for the duration of the holiday (we reported it on first day). Bathroom extractor fan not working, toilet seat loose and 1 bulb out. No bulb in fitting outside bathroom door. Very narrow landing at the top of the stairs, no mention of a safety gate but we found 1 in the wardrobe. Not enough towels on arrival. Parking is a big issue as the road is very narrow with no allocated parking space. There is a car park nearby but the parking permit expired in October 2022!

    Good location and spacious

    We had a problem getting hot water, there needs to be clearer explanation around how to switch it on. The shower head slides down all the time, so frustrating when trying to wash your hair. The cottage is cold, even though it was warm outside. The electric radiators in the bedrooms weren’t working unfortunately. A minor issue but it was a pain, there wasn’t a tea towel in the kitchen. The welcome pack was poor and there was only one sachet of milk. Either a good one should be provided or none at all. The cottage would also benefit from new carpets in the bedrooms.

    The cottage is in a great location, a short walk to the harbour, shops and restaurants. Set in a quiet back street with room for parking one car. The house is beautifully decorated with comfy beds, lovely bed linens and big fluffy towels. Books, games and DVDs are also provided.

    My only gripe was the shower, not great water pressure with the shower head was loose on the shower frame meaning it kept sliding down to waist height, so couldn't really stand under it without holding it up.

    Fantastic location in the heart of Seahouses. Two public houses at the end of the street and the main street and harbor less than 5 minutes walk. The property was great, nice and cosy with plenty of utensils and appliances. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were really comfy.

    In need of a little TLC in places but understandable as holiday cottages must get some excessive wear and tear.

    Lovely cottage in a great location very close to all the local amenities and the harbour. The cottage is spacious, we were a family of 5, is comfortable and very well equipped, with plenty of crockery and cutlery. It has been sensitively refurbished and well decorated. The beds are very comfortable. Although parking space is at a premium in the area we were able to park 2 cars outside the cottage, you just have to be sensitive to others needs particularly the residents. The parking permit for the local car parks is a very nice touch, thank you. We had a lovely relaxing family holiday.

    Just a couple of issues. 1. Didn't like the way they produced an £100 deposit against breakages after we had paid in full for the stay. should be more open from the start. 2. Couldn't get the hot water for the taps but this could have been my fault but I couldn't find any instructions. We managed fine without it by using the electric shower.

    No breakfast but not an issue. The cottage was very nice and comfortable, all the amenities were of a very good standard. It's location was very close to everything in the village.
