Stewards Cottage

Had a lovely time with our young three generational little family. Few things about location and property a drawback bu Positive: Lovely comfy beds and plenty of fluffy white towels. Smart bathroom and good shower room en suite. Very clean and tidy. Good location for exploring Northumberland coast and countryside. Negative: Dead plants around the small courtyard and benches and picnic tables need maintenance. Downstairs bedroom lovely but all noise from upstairs bedroom carries down with very creaky floorboards, but it is an old property. No chopping boards or oven trays in kitchen. Location next to main B road so can be noisy at rush hour times. Farm barn behind with maintenance vehicles, rubble and sheep!

A couple of things to address, particularly the building work over the fence, but overall a good find and we would stay Positive: The cottage is clean, cosy and comfortable. Excellent location for visiting Bamburgh, Seahouses, and for getting on the A1 for longer journeys, whilst being much cheaper than staying in the centre of Bamburgh. It is well furnished, the bed is comfortable and the pillows are good quality and comfortable. Lovely modern bathrooms, and everything worked well. Shower in the en suite was excellent. We would definitely stay again. Negative: Location - The development of cottages is literally just over the fence from some kind of building work being undertaken. We were awoken on 2 of our 3 mornings at 8am by heavy machinery breaking up large rocks, like sleeping next to a quarry. This continued all day. I’m not sure whether this is a short term thing, but it really wasn’t great. Our car also ended up covered in a thick layer of sandy coloured dust from the rocks being broken up on the other side of the fence. Parking - Many of the cottages in the development have specific, reserved parking spaces, but Stewards Cottage doesn’t seem to. It was a bit of a struggle on a couple of occasions to get parked, even though numerous spaces allocated for other cottages never seemed to be used. This was a little frustrating. Dishwasher - The dishwasher desperately needs a good quality cleaner putting through it. It looks clean, but when used is very smelly (it made the whole downstairs of the cottage smell) and the dishes (particularly glassware) came out still dirty. Bed - The bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable, and has comfortable pillows, but be aware that it is 2 single beds pushed together, with a double sheet over them, and a double duvet.

Positive: Quiet, Lovely, clean, tidy spacious and homely property, within just a 10 min driving distance to Bamburgh castle and endless streches of white sandy beaches and 15 min to Seahouses beach front. Highly Recommend. Great Communication. Thank you North East Escapes 😃 Negative: Absolutely liked Everything.

Lovely cottage - perfect for our needs - excellent value Positive: We had a lovely time - the cottage was just right for our needs. the welcome pack was really helpful and very thoughtfully put together. Definitely would come back.

Fab comfortable cottage in a great location. Positive: Loved the welcome pack and the information folders. Good location. Plenty of space. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels. Lovely open fire Negative: Great cottage which we loved. Only minor issues- Upstairs bathroom sink slow to drain and a bit smelly and when you sleep downstairs it is very noisy if anyone moves about in the room above
