What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a lovely stay in Hazonleigh.

  The house is really spacious for a holiday house where, all too often, any available space is portioned up to add an extra bathroom. The accommodation has been well thought through; there is a large kitchen/diner with a sofa, a bright sunny sitting room, a utility room with a shower room which is ideal for getting rid of sand/mud before tracking it into the main house. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. The house was generally clean although we were disappointed to find some part finished bottles of drink in the fridge. This was a surprise as the emails from the letting company were pretty draconian about check out dos and don'ts. Some of the bedroom curtains are a little thin so it might be an idea to bring blackout fabric if you're travelling with small children although the curtains in the main bedroom are brilliant. There was clear information about what to put in each bin which is important as this varies so much from place to place. Details about the bin collections were not included in the otherwise comprehensive welcome pack which worried us as the black bin was pretty full when we arrived. We kept an eye on the neighbours and were poised to rush out to put the bin out only to find that a 'bin fairy' had got there first! A relief but a note to that effect in the welcome pack would have been useful. A note to light sleepers - the dogs resident in the next door house can be noisy, although when we were there this was only for short periods. They did wake us in the early hours (4:30 am and 5:00 am) but we were able to get back to sleep. If you are likely to find that this would spoil your holiday this might not be the home for you.

  The first thing I want to make clear is that in spite of feedback left by other visitors the dogs next door did not bother us.

  Yes, they barked or howled occasionally, sometimes - definitely not always- in the early morning, but never for long. Do not let this put you off. This is a very comfortable cottage, well situated. The Coop is only 100 yards away and it stays open late. The on site parking is needed and was no problem for our small car. My only plea is for the owners to give up on the commercially put together welcome packs and go over to a straight pint of milk, bottle of washing up liquid and sufficient dishwasher tablets for once a day. I don't have a dishwasher at home and don't keep a supply of tablets, so buying a box would have been daft for me. And I have only this year come up against inductive hobs for the first time. From a previous experience I knew you had to have a pan on the stove to make it work but the instruction booklet for this one didn't make that clear. Some instructions in plain English separate from the booklets would be a help to those of us who are not so up to date. However, it is also indicative of the quality of the renovation of this cottage.

  We had a family holiday at Cheviot House, it was really comfy, spacious and very relaxing. It had everything we needed (but if you’re self catering you will need condiments etc) it’s in a quiet side street and close to all the amenities and coast path. We did the Billy Shiels boat trip which was fantastic - we saw puffins, seals and dolphins. We visited Bamburgh Castle, worth doing and noting they have a limited spaces doggy daycare you can leave your dog at while you visit the castle. Ample parking up the hill at the gates and another large carpark off the road at the foot of the hill. Great coffee from the coffee van on the bowling green! Had lunch and met friends at The Apple Tree Inn a short drive from Bamburgh in Lucker, the food was fantastic. The coast is beautiful and great for dog walking. The Italian restaurantElan ok & reasonable value. We got take away fish and chips from Hooks, again it was ok but was told Neptunes is better. All in all whole experience 10/10

  The house was beautiful, lovely and spacious too.

  Nice and clean for when we arrived. A bonus that there was off street parking for both cars too. Bed were so comfy and the shower was incredible. Nice hot water for shower and washing up. Great the fact there was a washing machine especially with a young baby. Great Location for getting to attractions. Lots of very good restaurants and takeaways close by. Highly recommend the pizzeria opposite the coop!!! Thank you for a great stay we would come back. Only a couple of niggles/suggestions. Maybe a clock in the kitchen or lounge. We were always looking for one. And the cutlery drawer should be swapped with the utensil drawer for ease. The dogs next door did make a rackets very so often but that didn’t affect us too much as I was already up with the baby. Woke us up a couple of times but I k ow they can’t really do much about that.

  We loved our stay at Hazonleigh.

  The house was spacious and clean, and the location was perfect. Seahouses is a beautiful place plenty of shops and a great base to stay.The facilities were good, beds comfortable,house clean and modern and the garden safe for our two shihtzu's. The dogs next door barked early morning and at night but did not bother us too much, I'm sure our dogs and 5 year old grandson were equally noisy at times! So much to do even though the weather wasn't perfect we were out and about walking on Bamburgh and Beadnell beaches, went to Holy Island and Alnwick and Dunstanburgh Castles. We were with our son and his kids aged 5 and 13 years so a mixture of ages to cater for. We had a fantastic time and did not want to come home.
