The accommodation was clean, tidy, and in good condition throughout with ample furniture, appliances, and kitchen needs. Separate bathroom and ensure added to a comfortable stay. We all had wonderful holiday and are looking at booking again for next year.

Your statement in the email below Whilst we don't envisage this causing you any disruption it does look unsightly Well it did cause us disruption every day. At 07:50 the builders came on site and turned the generators on, which was less than 20 feet from the front door of Schooner 1, this was a constant annoyance not to mention the diesel fumes from the exhaust which meant we had to have the windows shut during the day. There was also constant movement of plant equipment lifting pallets of bricks etc causing noise and the general noise caused by 15 men working. Some days we couldnât even get out of the front door due to delivery lorries , with cranes , lifting pallets of blocks and wood blocking the drive and so close to our car. We also have to keep the curtains of the only window of the flats living room closed as builders walked past and looked in so not very relaxing at all. We feel that no one should be staying in the property at this time and that Northumbria Cottages misrepresented the closeness and the amount of construction work going on , not to mention the health and safety aspects . If you had been honest about the times of the disruption and the closeness we would have never booked.
