It was very stormy outside and 8 degrees but sadly we couldn’t get the central heating to work, we tried all the options and the radiators remained cold, so we had to use the two storage heaters provided, but sadly the plug point in the back bedroom didn’t allow the heater to be plugged in as it was at the back of the bed, so that was a cold room. Also a lack of mirrors, the bathroom would definitely benefit from one, and I’d rather not have to climb and stand on the bed to reach the mirror in the master bedroom. Also shame the telescope doesn’t work and it’s just a prop.

Excellent location with a beautiful view, the interior was well presented with up to date colours and quality furniture. The beds were extremely comfortable. A spacious apartment, and well equipped kitchen with the complimentary coffee, tea and milks being a bonus. Private parking is a big plus too.

Unfortunately the heating didn't work, so we had to use the two electric heaters. And a very small note that we used up the two rolls of toilet paper provided, so it would have been good to have some spare in the cupboard.

The location was amazing, with fantastic views of the coast and Bamburgh Castle. Beds and chairs were all very comfortable.

No wifi is a big disadvantage. There were no mirrors in the property (except in one bedroom where you would have had to stand opn the bed to use it).

The view is absolutely perfect.

Had we been at full occupancy there would not have been enough comfortable seating for everyone (small 3 seater couch and 1 easy chair), lacking mirror in the bathroom previously mentioned in other reviews, stairs a bit steep and could be problematic for people with mobility issues - reasonable gap between metal stairs and wall of the building, no garden as such just very small area for car parking.

Fab location, amazing views, spacious master bedroom

Great location, fantastic views

A few minor repairs required but advised agent who replied straight away and they will be dealt with. Staircase to property is steep which may put some people off.

Great location, good sized rooms and view is fantastic.

Fantastic location. Sunrise and sunset both visible from the apartment or the stunning beach 2mins walk away.

Kitchen fine, but rather basic - few chipped/cracked plates. Freezer box so iced up, it couldn't be closed properly; we defrosted it.

The view from The puffins nest is fabulous! Sunrise across the sea, with The Farne Isles just off-shore takes some beating. Comfy beds. Practical bathroom.

Some of the equipment and furniture was not functioning well. Can opener, bathroom had no mirror, television had limited channels and there was no internet. The dining chairs seemed old and cumbersome. I had a couple stay on 2 nights. The husband had a dining chair collapse under him one night as it’s metal frame buckled. He fell backwards. He is 75 years old so this was distressing for him and his partner. I am now being told I have to pay for the chair!

The magnificent views and being so close to the beach. The spacious sitting room and well equipped kitchen.

No mirrors in the bathroom. Could have also done with condiments etc in kitchen cupboard and perhaps a welcome pack.

Location and view were excellent. Apartment was comfortable and clean.

We all thought we should have had a dish washer. Also no mirror over the sink in bathroom, we put the mirror from third room in it.

The view from the lounge was amazing.

the fire escape stairs to access the property we had elderly parents with us in there eighties it was extremely difficult for them I wouldn’t have booked it I’d of know. this. lack of mirror and bin in bathroom and lack of electric sockets in the two back bedrooms.

loved the location the views were amazing

The metal access stairs to the property. It wasn’t mentioned in the initial information and we had two dogs and a disabled child. The mismatched cutlery, mugs and glasses in the kitchen, they could do with being updated. The Hoover didn’t work on carpet and with two dogs we tried to hoover and it didn’t pick up at all.

The view was spectacular! The location was ideal for walking into Seahouses. The beds were really comfortable and the bathroom was really clean and seemed new.

Picture showed telescope facing the sea however their were no lens so unable to use and my grandson was dissapointed as had been looking forward to using it. Their was no mirror in large bedroom and 1 electic socket not working. Hallway had stains on the wall, would benefit from a freshen up.

Location. Size of apartment. Nice and warm. Lovely views.

Couldn’t get hold of anyone, women who eventually answered did not speak very good English, access to property not described easily, google location given sends you round the other side. Pillows not comfy. Bed in room opposite main bedroom on a slant. No intrusive tons on how to use anything, fire in main room wouldn’t work.

Location description was not great, took us too long to find access, no sign post, also metal stairs to access property were not mentioned, allows pets but stairs not safe, needs to be mentioned just in case anyone struggles with stairs

don’t like it is a bit too much but we were disappointed with the mis-match with cutlery and cookware in the kitchen and had to wash items before use. kitchen equipment needs to be reviewed and restocked especially if apartment had full capacity.

the apartment being upstairs with views out to sea. it was warm and clean with comfy beds and a lovely bathroom

Stayed in January 2023

Little difficult to find the apartment. Kitchen utensils limited, 1 pan and a frying pan. Mismatch of cups and glasses.

Spacious 3 bed with wonderful views. Close to Seahouses with good Co-op and plenty of restaurants. Amazing beach walking to Bamburgh and along the coast.

It was not clear the apartment was accessed at the back of the house up an outdoor metal staircase. We had our dog and it wasn’t good for taking out in the dark and wouldn’t be easy for elderly or very young guests. There was no signage to indicate which door was Puffins Nest and as we weren’t aware it was up the metal stairs at the back we struggled to find it. The neighbour helped us but it doesn’t seem fair to inconvenience them every time a guest arrives for the sake of a couple of signs. Accessing the drive was pretty narrow and the parking at the back just about big enough for our car but tricky to manoeuvre out. It also says there is a garden with this property but the only garden belonged to the other apartment so we couldn’t use it for the dog or for us to be/sit outside so no outside space to use, except parking. The glasses and mug selection was very random! There was a Krups coffee machine but no pods left so pointless. The lino in the hall was loose in places so had to be careful. We couldn’t get the central heating to work and as we were only there 3 nights didn’t want to get anyone in to sort it. There were other heaters which did warm the room, just took a while. The blind in the main bedroom had a broken winder so my husband had to manually wind it up and down which was a bit annoying. The views were amazing but it was a shame the outside of the windows were smeary/cloudy so wasn’t clear to see properly. Despite all of this it was a lovely place to stay and I would consider going back.

The views were amazing. The location great - straight across the road from the sea and a 5 minute walk to the centre of Seahouses. The bed and bedding in the main bedroom was very comfy. The decor was lovely, most furniture seemed very new.

The property is very poorly sign posted and there is a garage under repair so I was worried about my tires. There should also be a warning because the drive is very narrow and the parking is reserved at the front of the property. There's no DVD player so we felt a lack of evening entertainment which left us with whatever was on television. The plug sockets are very low and there are switches that don't appear to do anything. There were a few unfinished elements in the wardrobes, doors quite stiff and the carpets/lino in need of repair but the overall finish was nice.

I was told the key combination over the phone and it worked first time. The door itself looked very tired and some repair work is needed around the frame. Other than that, it was simple to get in. The views are spectacular and the beach access was brilliant. The shower pressure was great.
