  The location When we arrived at the property we opened the door to the smell of stale smoke when going to open the windows & doors to the back we noticed a significant amount of cigarette ends on the back yard however you couldn’t get fresh air into the house to get rid of the smoke due to the bins been bang at the side of the door what definitely needed a clean as the smell coming from them didn’t help the smell into the house. The yard outside was small and dirty including an empty toilet roll, a mouldy dog water bowl & random bucket just left there. Inside the house contained dust & cobwebs in numerous places, there was something spilt down the radiator what hadn’t been cleaned up. We got the Hoover out as soon as we got there what needed a service straight away filter & bag changed as it wasn’t picking anything up this was when we was hoovering the rug & noticed how dirty the gripper what held the rug in place was. The sofa was very uncomfortable definitely not a relaxing place to sit after a busy day at the beach. There was also an old dog chew behind the sofa what had been left there, I’ll add pictures to the review below. The local beach was lovely but we wouldn’t be returning to this property.

  We had a very comfortable and enjoyable week staying in the cottage! The owner was so welcoming and helpful with local tips and had kindly left a bag of goodies for us! There is plenty of space. Everything had been thought of that you could possibly need- eg loads of equipment in the kitchen- and plenty of storage in the bedrooms. Beds very comfy. It was also lovely and warm when we arrived, and it is well heated. Plus we enjoyed the novelty of lighting a cosy fire every night! We would definitely recommend Foss Garth cottage. There is a pub and shop across the road, and we recommend Hawes as a pretty town with plenty of little shops and cafes, a ten minute drive. Strongly recommend the Wendsleydale Creamery if you like cheese, we bought several varieties which were reasonably priced and delicious. Lots and lots of great walks nearby and the dramatic waterfalls in nearby Keld. Thank you to Pauline for a lovely stay.

  The house itself was lovely. Very spacious and clean and in a great spot to explore the local beaches. After booking, it is compulsory to pay either £25 for insurance or £10 admin fee plus a £250 returnable deposit, regardless of the length of stay. Unfortunately the management company's system had a technical issue and would not accept payment from my card and it took several days to sort out. I kept receiving email responses telling me how important it was to pay this extra but no help on how to resolve it. My trip was non-refundable and they would not release check-in instructions until it was paid. As we only booked last minute it was quite worrying, as with only days to go before we were due to arrive, we physically couldn't pay the extra fees and nobody was helping us resolve the issue that was ultimately a fault on their system. Eventually, I had to pay using another card.

  The Good: Nice there was a highchair & kitchen was kitted out with utensils The Bad: Cleaner was there at check-in after check-in at 4pm (after being asked what time we would be arriving), which seemed make them rush and do a poor job, they complained that "they weren't even supposed to be doing this house today" Needs a good lick of paint, scuff marks all over the walls, needs a deep clean rather than a tickle in between guests. No hand towel in the downstairs toilet or kitchen. Numerous TV channels were "available" but not working due to poor signal Uncomfortable sofa Blinds in bedrooms so thin that they may as well not have been there for the amount of light they let in! Difficulty parking - small row of terraced housing, "alternative" is a long walk, not ideal with luggage Overall: An ok place to rest your head, not much more

  Quiet location & within walking distance to Alnwick town centre. The sofa/chairs in the living room weren’t very comfortable but we were only there for 3 nights. On the first night just before we retired to bed we realised there was no hot water but put this down to it being quite late & maybe the water had gone cold as the home guide stated the water was on a timer, however, this was not the case as the water was still cold the next morning. The issue was reported & the engineer who called the following day to try to resolve over the phone. He did offer to come out that evening if the water was still not heating up but it was our last night & we wanted to chill. Luckily the showers were electric so water needed to shave, wash up etc had to be kettle boiled..
