The perfect family holiday beckons with a stay at Summerseat.
This attractive and peaceful harbour village is situated beside one of the most beautiful stretches of Northumberland’s Heritage Coastline - Beadnell Bay. Established in Saxon times, Beadnell was once an important fishing village and a smuggler's haven. Nowadays, it is still a fishing village, but is equally popular with holidaymakers who come to enjoy its pretty harbour and, of course, the nearby sandy beaches. The village has a shop, two pubs and a café serving food. Popular Seahouses is just over a mile away and has shops, a supermarket and restaurants, and it also offers boat trips from the harbour to the magnificent Farne Islands - a haven for bird watchers. Bamburgh is close by, whilst the market town of Alnwick with its Castle and Gardens, shops, pubs and restaurants is a short drive away.

It was a pleasant surprise to find towels, kitchen roll, toilet rolls, cleaning pack and a tea/coffee and biscuits. The outside seating area is a sun trap and we enjoyed it even in October. With the beach a few minutes walk and the dog friendly Craster Arms up the road Summerseat is in the ideal spot for a relaxing holiday. We will hopefully return soon.

I was assured on the first occasion that the property would be fine. (My second query was not answered.) It most definitely was not. Despite previous occupiers raising issues, we found that nothing had changed. Outdoor areas, including the front of the property, would have benefited from a thorough clean. Walls were marked and needed repainting in areas. The shower base needed repaired. The downstairs toilet flush did not work properly. The fridge froze and ruined any food we kept in it, making it inedible. The oven and grill were dirty and despite trying to clean the grill pan in the dishwasher, it remained covered in dirt. Trying to cook in the oven resulted in the smoke alarm going off as the oven was so dirty, smoke emanated from it. The sink drain smelled badly. The master bedroom carpet was stained and the floor sagged at the entrance to the bathroom. The curtain lining was too small for the curtains, allowing unwanted light into the bedroom. Information on how to adjust the heating system would have been of great benefit. Not only will we not be back at Summerseat, we will not be using Sykes in the future.

Sykes are now aware of the pigeon poo problems on the rear courtyard railings, so hopefully this problem will be greatly reduced. This rental property could be great with tlc applied. Its in a lovely area. What is most excellent is that the fridge/freezer has been replaced with a brand new model.
