What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a wonderful stay in Northumberland, 23 Valley View was warm and clean, with a very comfortable bed and wonderful shower.

  My husband enjoyed the golf course every day and the dog enjoyed the walks through the woods. All towns and beaches were within easy access and we spent a lot of time exploring. We did have a few issues, we were unable to watch live television (rugby world cup) however hard we tried, we managed to sign into netflix eventually, Iplayer was very bad . The welcome pack consisted of a couple of tea bags and some sachets of milk and sugar... no one expects a special welcome but when you were stuck in a huge jam on the A1 for two hours (we had a long journey anyway) and arrive late its nice to be able to relax with a few cups of tea before having to rush to the shops. A small amount of washing up liquid, cleaning cloth and small amount of liquid hand soap would have been nice as a starter. The information pack could do with some updating, it would be helpful if the Wi-Fi code was in it, we had to hunt around for it and maybe the instructions for appliances, we weren't sure how to use the dishwasher but found instructions in the end. Also some information on recycling that was available at the site. 23 Valley View was a great place for a holiday, the site was quiet and everyone was very friendly, will certainly be considering another stay.

  The cottage was quite remote, and I don't feel this was made obvious on the information.

  It tells you it's in a village, it's not. It is a tiny hamlet. The cottage itself has very recently been converted so is new. The bedrooms are excellent as is the bathroom and kitchen. But the living area for us was too cluttered and small, and this spoiled it for us somewhat because we like to settle down in evenings either watching a film or reading. It didn't have that cosy feel. Also parking if all 3 adjoining cottages are in use isn't easy. The small entrance makes driving in to the parking area a little difficult if you have a larger car. We have a Honda CRV and needed to bring in the wing mirrors every time. Anything wider and you wouldn't be able to get through. We also didn't feel there was any privacy from the other cottages if you wanted to sit out. The pub which is in the hamlet and 1 minute walk away is excellent however. Friendly staff and excellent food. Sadly we wouldn't return as the drive to the cottage every day is a little too much off the beaten track for us. For others I realise it's not an issue.

  This cottage was perfect for two people.

  The location is beautiful and just a 20 minute walk from Ironbridge with lovely pubs and shops. Other museums were on the doorstep with the local pub a few minutes walk. Outstandingly clean, a well equipped kitchen, TVs in lounge and both bedrooms and shampoo, conditioner and gel in the shower. Bedrooms luxurious and comfy. Initially the parking seemed tricky but you quickly get used to it and it’s just across the road. No criticisms at all but considerations for us would be the stairs- narrow and sheer, downstairs bathroom if you’re a nighttime loo user and space is compact around the furniture. People along this row tend to sit outside in the front gardens since there is no rear facility and it felt very neighbourly. Our adult children are looking to come and see for themselves as they were so impressed with our experience here. We would certainly return as there is so much to see.

  We had a lovely stay at the caravan with our Border Collie who loved all the walks around the site and the area.

  We used it as a base to visit Alnwick which was a 15 minute drive away also went to Seahouses and Bamburgh about 40 mins drive and Amble was worth a visit too. The nearest town Felton was about 3 miles away which had a little shop to stock up on some essentials but you really needed to go into Alnwick for a bigger shop. As for the caravan itself it had everything you needed although the mobile broadband was a bit unreliable it wasn’t too bad and didn’t affect our enjoyment overall. The only issue we had was the ensuite tap was cold it didn’t heat up but the shower was fine and it wasn’t really a problem. So we would suggest that although the information pack was very informative it should include how to report any problems. But we loved the caravan and the site itself the welcome pack was very much appreciated and we would definitely recommend it.

  Property was comfortable incredibly quiet and generally well equipped but carpets and suite need to be cleaned.

  We were very disappointed to find that there was virtually no washing up liquid, no dishwasher tablets, no scourer or surface wiper and no spare toilet roll. These we would expect as a minimum. In our experience it is also usual to expect salt, pepper, cooking oil in self catering accommodation. It is also welcome to find milk, tea(there were a few tea bags) and biscuits. There was no welcome pack with details about the property site or the area. No personal communication from the owner. There was minimal provision of games, books etc.. Not an issue for us but would certainly have been significant if children had been staying. With a few tweaks this property could be very good.
