  Lets start positive.

  ...Great location!!! Plenty of drawers and hanging space in downstairs bedroom. Bedding and towels spotless. Kitchen really well equipped but some crockery needs replacing as really scratched and some chipped. We had to buy flutes for prosecco and there were only 4 wine glasses none that matched (we are comparing this to a sykes cottage we stayed in earlier this year) Good to see an EV charging point Downstairs bed not comfortable and pillows very high and hard. Pillows also hard and high in twin bedroom. Our other guests in the upstairs double had no complaints. This is a personal preference but it is tricky watching TV after someone has retired for the evening as the seating area is directly underneath the bedroom. I dont think the lounge seating area is adequate or comfortable for 6 adults and the concrete hearth was an awful trip hazard. Lots of black mould in downstairs bathroom around the bath, loose toilet seat in downstairs bathroom One of the blinds was completely broken in the upstairs double bedroom and we had to buy black bin bags and tape to do a makeshift blind but it kept falling off because of the heat (weather is not your fault). The clothes maiden could do with replacing and we did not have pegs for the washing line I dont really think the garden space is comfortable. There is a large dead tree in the corner which needs removing We took photos of the blind in the bedroom and also of a couple of filthy greasy trays that had been left (we did dishwash them but I ended up buying a new tray). Happy to share the photos if you can provide email address Hope this helps Kind regards

  A week here was thoroughly enjoyed.

  Below is the Pros & Cons which we have gathered while staying here. Pros: Comfortable Beds Pet friendly Well equipped (Washing Machine) Enclosed garden Easy access to top sights in Northumberland (Transport Required) but not too busy in the local area Nice view from the top windows Private parking on site (plus electric car PodPoint) Cons: Some Decor needs updating; paint marks, scratches and broken ornaments etc. bird poo on lounge focal point canvas & chipped crockery No toilet roll holders Blind in upstairs bedroom broken (woken up by bright sunlight daily) Living room furniture only big enough for 4 Cleanliness could be a little better Water pressure isn’t the best (only good enough for one shower etc) Shower head needs changing Bin bags are cheap and broke when moving Label bins to show which is recycling Upstairs bed sticks out too much to walk round (because of the sloping roof) so be careful of your shins getting hit All in all a nice week here and with these cons being addressed we would gladly stay again. :)

  The Reformed Church is a lovely property, with a massive open plan kitchen / living room - perfect for families.

  The beds are very comfortable, the lack of curtains or blinds in the two smaller bedrooms meant the teenagers where up earlier than usual - maybe a choice of quilt would be nice (Summer/Winter) but that’s being picky. We did have a problem with the boiler but we called the agent and he came round straightaway and arranged for an engineer to fix it - very straightforward and didn’t impact our stay. The only downside was there was no shower, but the bath and shower head worked very well. The location is fabulous - a 15 minute walk to the beach - close to many sites and castles by car, you can walk to Dunstanburgh Castle easily along the Coastal Path. Highly recommend the house and area.

  Great location.

  Reasonable facilities ( bath let it down), very comfy bed. The negatives are: 1. Duvet and pillows had feathers, so no good for one of our group with an allergy. We had to pay £20 to borrow a duvet and pillow from the local hotel. 2. Top of fridge was dirty, old cobwebs around the place, some pots had food stuck to them, floor was dirty. 3. We found shards of broken glass in the rug. Fortunately, no one was injured. 4. Bath was very slow to fill. The shower handset was useless. Could really do with more water pressure!!! Using the bath became a timetabled rota. Disappointed!!! 5. One of the shelves behind the sofa was wobbly/loose.

  We needed 3 working bathrooms for our party but only one of the showers worked some of the time and the other two occasionally .

  Think it’s because of the water pressure so don’t have a shower if anyone else on the complex is using the water . No blind on upper twin bedroom window or upper front shower room so use towels maybe . I did contact agency a few times but no response before we visited as I was concerned by most recent review . I rang the agency when we realised two of the showers didn’t work and was informed someone may visit but no update to confirm if they did or didn’t . Dogs are allowed and I love dogs but not when the other occupants let them bark their heads of in the morning . Other than that we really enjoyed our stay .
