• "A lovely, cosy home with comfy beds and good facilities."

  Only slight downside was the lack of parking at the house, but I suspect this is mot uncommon in the area because of the narrow streets and large number of visitors to the area. However, this was more than made up for by the provision of a parking permit for use in the big carpark in Seahouses as well as many other carparks in Northumberland, and we made good use of this during our visit. Seahouses itself is a lovely village with several excellent places to eat and drink, our favourite being the Olde Ship Inn which is just a few minutes walk away from the house. We would

  We had a great time in this lovely cottage. Like a home from home in a perfect location near to the amenities and the beach. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

  We visited out of season and enjoyed the cosy cottage and wealth of bracing coastal walks.

• "This was our 2nd visit and we will return again."

  The location is perfect with pubs, fish & chip shops and grocery shops within walking distance of the cottage. We took advantage of the parking permit left in the cottage which gave us free parking in the station yard car park, which was a godsend. Lovely homely cottage which was beautifully warm when we arrived on a cold Sunday afternoon. Well stocked kitchen, dishwasher and washer dryer very welcome. Thank you for a lovely few days

• "Lovely property, very well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area for 6."

  The cottage is situated very centrally in Seahouses making it convenient to visit the shops and restaurants, as well as good access to sightseeing destinations in the area. As there is no on-site parking it was great that the parking permit was provided, with the car parks not far away, but I'd suggest making it clearer in the property description that there is no on-site parking (but that the permit will allow parking for 1 car in the council car parks, without cost). One other thing - we were surprised to have to strip our own beds upon leaving - the first time we've been asked to do that. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you very much.

• "Fisherman's Cottage was a lovely place to stay for our family holiday."

  It's more spacious than it looks, and the bedrooms are a really good size. We loved the super king bed! And there's plenty of storage in the rooms. The lounge area is comfortable and the kitchen had most things we needed. A few minor annoyances such as the draining board doesn't fit and so either blocks the tap or leaks on to the unit. The guest information folder is quite out of date, some things have changed now. The heating also seemed to be set to 21° and could only be turned down for a few hours at a time which seemed unnecessary in the summer and we were too hot! (The Magic TV remote battery is getting low too.) It's such a gorgeous location though, so close to the harbour. And we really, really enjoyed being there.

• "Comfortable cottage in a great location, nicely furnished and well equipped."

  Easy to park right outside for dropping off luggage, then we parked on James Street (unrestricted street parking) which is closer than the council car park and was mentioned in the information pack in the cottage. Parking permit and disc provided were useful for car parks when visiting other places in the area - we didn't pay to park anywhere all week. Our only suggestions would be: blackout blinds in the bedrooms, a hairdryer, and a proper clothes airer - there is a very flimsy one provided which can't hold much in the way of washing or beach towels.

• "First impressions were the same as my last impression as I locked up " lovely cottage but very tired looking needs a touch up in places"."

  We did have a lovely stay here and the cottage did grow on me, parking situation was a nightmare you have to park in council carpark 5/8 minute walk away,they do provide a parking permit for one car but we had travelled in 2 this cost us an additional £70. Upstairs was lovely no real complaints, beds were comfortable.kitchen was well equipped. The problem is the sofa and carpet really old and tired looking to the point of looking dirty definitely ready for replacing. My other niggle is being left a list of things to do upon leaving, we always leave our rentals as we find them dispose of all rubbish,empty cupboards and fridges etc etc,i don't actually mind placing all towels in the bath that's fine but I do have problem with stripping all the beds I personally see that as the job of who ever is responsible for cleaning once the paying customer has left the price I pay for a week am sure includes the price of a clean once we have left. Wouldn't return to this cottage but mainly for the parking issue.

  Location is excellent for walking to the harbour, beach and shops without needing the car, and for day trips out along the coast. Parking Permit more than made up for parking in the village car park, probably saving us £40 at least on parking through the week on days out.

• "We absolutely loved our stay at Fisherman's Cottage."

  ..the location is superb! Just 2-3 minute walk to the sea & 5 min to town with its lovely little independent shops & delis & lots of places to eat & drink. We took the boat over to the Farne Islands & saw puffins, seals & a whole host of sea birds with our very knowledgeable guides. We walked to Beadnell & Bamburgh on the coast path & took short drives to Holy Island, Alnwick & Cragside. You can't park outside the cottage but we unloaded & loaded there then parked in the main town car park using our free pass (which we used on every trip we made!) - so don't let that put you off! Every day we came back to the comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage that we would absolutely return too. Fabulous.

  We used it as a base for our walking, of which this coastline and surrounding area are fantastic for. The cottage is comfortable, clean and very homely. You have all the facilities you need, everything is well presented and the added bonus of a parking permit which allows you free parking in the town centre car park. All the shops, pubs and restaurants and the boat harbour are within a 5 minute walk. I thoroughly recommend the Bamburgh castle pub, the kippers from the smokehouse just around the corner and a boat ride to the Farne Islands from the harbour.

  Seahouses has everything you could want, but it is also the perfect base to visit the sandy beaches on either side; turn left you can walk to Banburgh and beyond, turn right you can walk to Beadnell.

The cottage is spacious and cosy and we could feel ourselves unwinding more and more as the week went on

  This is a lovely warm, cosy cottage and certainly met our needs. Everything you need is provided, even a hairdryer! Seahouses is a lovely village and has plenty of places to eat (some better than others). There is no parking at the cottage but a housing estate nearby has plenty of on street parking or use the permit for the main car park. The cottage is overlooked but it’s not in a busy area so fine and the beaches nearby have all the outdoor space you need so we didn’t miss having a garden. Only thing I would add to the cottage is some cushions on the sofas.

  It is very comfortable, but the absence of parking means that it is not relaxing, in that you have to get up early to refresh payment in the car park if you don't want to pay through the nose. The property is also overlooked front and rear which is another drawback. Other than that we had s very pleasant stay.

  We love Northumberland and spend time walking and beach combing. We have an old dog. This cottage is perfect for our needs. It's close to the sea, and close to shops for food and a good variety of takeaways. The cottage has a faded chintz feel to it and its facilities are not particularly modern, but you have everything you need and what we like is the home from home feel. It's comfortable and homely. We are likely to return. The only downside is the lack of parking by the cottage, but having a free parking pass for the main car park is useful. I'm not sure how that works in high season as the main car park gets very busy even at low season on weekends. If you want high end ultra modern, perhaps not the choice for you, but if you want a spacious and comfortable family cottage, I'd recommend Fisherman's Cottage.

  A good assortment of decent saucepans but the frying pan was too small, scratched and rusty as were the roasting dishes. The owner was informed about the state of the roasting pans. Overall it needs a deep clean. The security lights on houses at back were coming on and off all night making difficult to sleep.

  Thank you for your feedback. I understand the owner offered to replace the pans during your stay but you preferred not to accept the offer. However, the pans and baking trays were replaced after your stay. The property normally receives full marks for cleanliness and if a guest has any issues during their stay the owner is keen to address this as soon as possible. Property Owner
