Reviews

Superb location central to most major tourist attractions. The upper deck flat gave a fantastic view of the sea and the coast all the way from Seahouses to Bamburgh Castle and Lindisfarne Castle!. With regard to the flat interior, the layout of the spaces were very well thought out and everything was modern, bright and very clean. The two balconies at the front and back of the property were also a bonus to catch both the morning and evening sunshine!.......will definitely visit again!

Mr A,

The property is in a great location, it has a great level of equipment. Off street parking is a bonus. We would definitely book it again.

Mr C,

THE LOCATION AND VIEW FROM THE LIVING ROOM WINDOW ARE WONDERFUL. THERE WERE SOME ITEMS MISSING BUT AFTER A PHONE CALL THESE WERE TAKEN CARE. MY ONLY REAL COMPLAINT WAS THAT I WAS THERE FOR THREE WEEKS AND NO CHANGE OF BED LINEN WAS OFFERED.. I FOUND OUT TOO LATE THAT I SHOULD HAVE REQUESTED IT. I WRONGLY ASSUMED THAT FOR A THREE WEEK BOOKING THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ANYWAY. ALSO, THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO OPERATE ANY OF THE APPLIANCES.

Ms Marjorie M,

Great position and view and the apartment was very light and airy. We just felt that general maintenance wasn’t being done - e.g. the washing machine soap drawer and filters need cleaning as does the dishwasher filters; the oven light was broken when we got there and your office did sort it quickly, but just little things weren’t quite right.

Mr Anthony C,

Well maintained property. Very good information re access and pre visit information. Lovely location near amenities but quiet area.

Mrs Linda S,

The wardrobe in the back bedroom was broken as was the tap in the en-suite. The table in the kitchen had obviously not been moves as there were crumbs etc behind the table.

Mrs Dawn K,

When we arrived at the property the heating wasn’t on and the fridge/freezer was off and had defrosted over the kitchen floor. The flat was cold and considering it was one of the coldest times a little warm would have been appreciate, the flat felt chilled and unaired. The bed in the double room needs a new mattress, very uncomfortable.

Mrs Barbara S,

We had a most enjoyable stay, the apartment was well positioned the harbour was within walking distance as was all the eating places and shops

Mrs Lesley K,

I have left full details of our review in the visitors book. There were a few maintenance and expectation issues to take note of for future visitors. The property was lovely, warm with wonderful views.

mrs Elizabeth C,

We had a lovely holiday & the apartment was very well set up, in a good location & the kitchen/equipment was very clean. Only negatives were the lack of toilet roll, 1/4 of a roll is unacceptable, the kitchen/bathroom floors needed washing & there wasn’t a CD player even though all literature stated there was. Despite the few derogatory comments we had a lovely stay & will definitely be returning again ??

Mrs Lorraine W,

Silly things missing...no soap in one bathroom, no bin bags, no dishwasher tablets, no cling film or kitchen foil. Silly things but would expect these to be part of kitchen essentials. Lovely apartment though and we will just need to take these things with us when we go next year as we will re book the apartment.

Mr Kevin B,

Excellent location. Very clean and tidy and comfortable. But :- No toiletries, no cleaning products (apart from a small amount of washing up liquid) no binliners, no kitchen towel, no non slip bathmat (had been provided on our previous visits), no first aid kit, torch needed new batteries. All these items were stated in the welcome pack. Fortunately local shops nearby. Of more concern the kitchen tap has a persistent drip. It seems to have been reported at the end of September but no action taken. An email has also been sent to Kingston Property too. Thursday 10.11 and Friday 11.11 were very windy days with a south westerly wind. The wind caused noises above the lounge, which at times were alarming. looking at the roof from the outside, there were no obvious problems, but in one corner of the roof area there are 2 TV aerials so fixings may be the problem. If it were my property I would want it investigated. I hope that your company would think so too. Contact with Original Cottages has always been difficult in the past and it is very difficult to get a response. Hopefully this time a response will be forthcoming, otherwise there is no point in doing the survey. Yours faithfully Christine Andrews

Mrs Christine A,

A high quality property in a stunning location. The whole holiday experience was seamless from start to finish and our stay at the apartment was so enjoyable we booked again for the same week in 2023 (making it our fourth stay).
