    Handheld vac in utility cupboard didn't have a cable in order to charge up and use, but I'm sure this can be easily rectified. WiFi is a real struggle at the cottage however, mobile signal was adequate.

    Beautiful, quiet rural location which was perfect for a relaxing break. Lavender Cottage is a lovely cosy cottage with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Clean and comfortable bed, plenty of towels and loo roll in the ensuite bathroom. Bedroom is huge with plenty of storage and lots of plug sockets for hairdryer/straighteners phone charger. . Kitchen facilities were all you needed with decent kettle, toaster, fridge and easy to use hob, oven and microwave. Beautiful living room with two very comfy reclining sofas, 2 large velux windows in the roof void made this room beautiful and light all day long. The electric fire also came in handy and made the room very cosy on an evening.

    Tv in lounge was very intermittent in working, so had to spend most of the time in the bedroom watching tv in there & so couldn’t really enjoy the benefits of lounge. Internet pretty non existent & so if you rely heavily on it (which we do) then it’s not the place for you.

    Beautiful very rural location. Super clean & modernised cottage. Very comfortable. Although rural not far from amenities & places of interest to visit.

    Great property, nightmare agent to deal with.

    Our issue is not with the property but with the agent that the owner has used to manage the bookings. The company is called Host and Stay and were extremely hard work to deal with. initially I was not happy about having to pay a damage waiver or leave a deposit but having checking the small print in the booking I accepted that as a requirement. host and Stay were relentless chasing the completion of the damage waiver. I finally completed a link they sent me which I later found out was for a different date and someone else’s booking. Host and Stay continued to chase for completion of the damage waiver despite me explaining that I’d followed the link they’d sent me and made the payment for the damage waiver. I explained that to complete the process again I would have to pay twice. I asked them to transfer the completed verification and insurance to my actual booking. I thought I’d finally got somewhere when they emailed to say they were happy I’d completed the verification and would receive the entry information. I received an email containing the “PIN number” and wrongly assumed that was the key box number. Arriving at the property I tried the number and it did not work. I rang Host and Stay and explained that I needed the key box number and their representative said that I had not completed the verification or insurance process! I again explained what had happened and that they had sent the wrong link so the rep put me on hold to look into it. Some 10 minutes later I hung up as there was no sign of anyone coming back to me and rang back. their rep again said I hadn’t completed the process at which point I again explained what had happened. eventually they gave me the key box number - they are a nightmare to deal with and I only go to this length of putting this information in the review in the hope the owner of the cottage sees my review and considers the use of Host and Stay as their agent.

    Fantastic property in a great location near Bamburgh. absolute peace and quiet which is just what we were after.

    The only very minor irritation was the shower head which needs a new fixture to stop it dropping at short notice.

    It was warm and comfortable and extremely quiet. It was close to some of the best beaches I have seen as well as the national park.

    My one and only gripe is the heater didn’t work in the bathroom but it didn’t spoil our stay.

    It was homely, cosy, super clean and so nice to get back to after a long walk on the beach. Just a very short drive to Bamburgh where the beach is stunning, so clean, beautiful! The bed was one of the best I’ve ever slept in!

    The internets quite poor for the tv, but hotspot from a phone is good enough to sort that out

    The cottage feels very remote but isnt a far drive at all from places. It's beautiful inside and out.

    The location was quite remote . In theory it is walking distance to Bamburgh but for the vast majority of the route there was no foot path so not safe to walk. The cottage is in a collection of similar cottages. The only outside furniture ( which is quite basic) is right outside the front door in the courtyard so there is no privacy if other families are out too.

    It was very clean and comfortable.
