  Bay View is a terrific flat.

  The works to the car park were not at all disruptive. We have enjoyed staying here for several years now, and there really is very little to fault. Even the wifi speed has been improved since our last visit. Cleanliness is excellent and the flat is extremely well equipped. I think this is our fifth or possibly sixth visit, and that says it all, really. Every year, there is some improvement. A couple of minor points that are really for the management company of the flats. The doors near a way of temporaily securing them open to allow bags to be brought in and out. The addition of a combination key pad on internal doors is welcome from a security point of view, but is a huge nuisance at the beginning and end of a visit. The keypads have been poorly chosen and are difficult to open with full hands. The timed illumination in interior spaces is now inadequate given the extra barrier that needs to be negotiated. There needs to be a way for guests to report faults direct - the light fitting in the common entrance hall had failed: this is clearly not the flat owner's responsibility to fix. The communal gardens badly need some attention. It would be much safer if a mirror was provided to help when exiting the back car park.

  My sister, dog, and I had a lovely week at Samphire. The house is a home from home with everything you need, including a very handy heated drying rail. We were disappointed, however, not to find a dvd player downstairs as advertised. The house is spotlessly clean and felt fresh on our arrival. The open plan room is light and airy with plenty of comfy seating to cosy into after a long walk. The house is perfectly positioned, close to the spectacular beach and The Landing restaurant. Beadnell village centre is a 15 minute walk away along Harbour Road with some wonderful views. Samphire is at the end of a small terrace which makes it more private than other properties with a large grassy area outside, perfect for those early morning doggy visits. The garden is small but catches the sun for alfresco dining and the artificial turf keeps it clean and mud-free.

  Definitely recommend this property. 5-10 minute walk to Seahouses village and the seafront and 15 minute walk from an amazing beach. The house had everything we needed. The weather was terrible at times as you expect in April, but the log burner along with the radiators made the house lovely and warm. The Garden is lovely and its a shame we couldn't enjoy it more due to the weather. This is a really good base to visit lots of attractions in the area. We were a family of 2 adults, 3 children & a dog. The property is plenty big enough. We could park right outside the property which was ideal. The owners left a binder with useful information in, and it was really useful, pointing us to local attractions, pubs and walks. We would definitely use this property again.

  Beautiful location, really nice well decorated apartment, however it had not been cleaned properly before our arrival.

  Firstly the floors felt sticky underfoot and our socks turned black. Bath had not been cleaned for a while and even had a used soap bar left behind which they should have noticed had the bathroom been cleaned properly between guests. The oven had baking trays with foil and bits of a previous guests cooking left in, again should have been checked. I could go on. We did overall enjoy our stay, although I'm not sure we would return. ***** Owner Response***** Dear Mrs Mills Thank you for your feedback. We have immediately raised these points with the cleaners and have received assurances that our very high standards will be maintained. We are sorry that you had issues and intend to monitor the situation closely.

  Cleaning was fairly superficial- the bathrooms in particular needed more attention.

  (Mould in shower, dust and fluff in corners) Toilet seat was cracked when we arrived and completely broke during our stay. This was quickly dealt with but should have been picked up before our arrival as it was fairly obvious. On arrival we were given the wrong keys from The Pantry. Cleaners were still there (6pm) so we went straight into the apartment without realising we had the wrong keys. This could have been disastrous- luckily we checked the keys later that evening before we left the building. Basically this meant we had to cancel our pub meal on our first evening as we couldn’t all leave the apartment until the following morning when The Pantry reopened.
