   "Very good were the view, the swimming pool, cleanliness, hot water and it was spacious (we were 2 not 4). BUT, in contrast, for the money as a place billed as furnished to a high standard and fairly upmarket it did not meet expectations. Apart from the curtains the furniture was rather dismal and the lounge seating was obviously worn out hence covered in horrid beige "candlewick bedspreads" which slide about and are impossible to keep tidy. We regularly stay in rented property and have never been to a place where there is no welcome folder with local information, emergency phone numbers, points of local interest, walks etc or a local OS map. Simply a reminder for the extra money which we fail to understand - why having paid a lot of money one should need to pay extra on arrival for outside lighting remains a sore mystery. And why are towels not provided as they are in most places now. There were no "niceties" - very often there is a cake, a fresh loaf, a small packet of biscuits, a vase of flowers - some gesture to make it feel like a welcome home. There was no toilet cleaner or soap, the toilet seat in the bathroom is loose and the lid will not stay up for male use. There were only 4 teaspoons one of which was bent and the frying pan handle is loose. The storage heaters work but are very inflexible -it takes nearly 2 days for one to become hot or cool down - and the rusty bathroom one and the cloakroom one did not work at all so airing towels is a bind. We were surprised there was no Wifi - this should surely have been mentioned in the brochure. There wasn't at least one spare rubbish bin liner, and certainly nothing like foil or cling film. The bulb of the light over the sink had gone and there were no spare bulbs at all in the place. All in all we thought it vastly over rated and though we enjoyed our week it certainly wasn't because of the accommodation but in spite of it. If it were our property we would be ashamed to let it as described."

   "Cosey Cottage definately lives up to its name, absolutely charming, imaculately clean, beautifully decorated and situated in a most peacefully quiet corner of Amble town. Set beside the owners property, this self catering holiday home has everything you could possibly need throughout your stay.Lisa & Neil will show you around and introduce you to the absolute jewel in the crown....the heated swimming pool and sauna! We used this almost every day, amazing! Parking is secure and right outside the cottage door, reversing is best, and their are alternative spaces always available so not a problem. Amble town & arbour is a very short walk away, with some nice shops, restaurants and a couple of decent pubs. If you chose to venture further afield, then your in for a treat, with some stunning beaches and castles withing only a few miles drive.One of our best holidays so far and some of the best peaceful nights sleep i've had in years. Thank you Lisa & NeilWe will definitely be staying here again.Wayne & LisaCleckheatonWest Yorkshire"

   "A lovely holiday. Very relaxing. The bonus was the use of the owner's pool, a rare treat in a self catering holiday home. The addition of private garden was also a bonus. Cottage was very small, but adequate for two people and was decorated to a high standard. The owners attention to detail was very good. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and on arrival there was a card and champagne and chocolates waiting for us which was a very special thing to do and made the whole experience very personal to us.The only down side was there was not enough free storage. Kitchen cupboards were taken up with decorations and there was nowhere in the bathroom to store any toiletries - needed at least a shelf to put toothbrushes on.On the whole though we enjoyed a good holiday in a very quiet and pleasant place with good facilities and restaurants within walking distance. Lovely people and a lovely place. We would definately recommend it and would love to go again."

   "Very helpful staff, and great cottages in a lovely quiet location. The downsides of a country location were that it took a little longer to travel the country roads to other Northumbrian attractions around the coast. Of the cottage itself - a few spiders had taken up residence in two of the shower units despite the otherwise immaculate facilities. Although the adverts describe the swimming pool and games room, the hours of use were a little restrictive in that they were not available after 7pm. We understood the Health and Safety restrictions on using the pool, but it would have been nice to be able to use the games room and/or snooker table in the evening. We would most definitely use the cottages from this owner again - but might chose to stay at their other site at Seahouses"

   "Akeld manor is a lovely house which is in dire need of bringing up to date to accommodate large parties of visitors . There is only one shower ( but many baths )which is not adequate for a family of 15 . You are met with many rules and regulations on arrival that are off-putting and also a hefty surcharge which seems unnecessary . A welcome pack with local produce would have been a nice touch. Some of the rooms are neglected and very bare and the house itself does not have a homely feel . There is no wifi which in this day and age is fast becoming a necessity . The staff are very friendly and the grounds are amazing , the location of the house is very good for exploring Northumberland with most attractions around half an hour away . The pool and gym are an excellent addition ."
