• "The grass needed cutting,it was far too long,we had trouble finding our dogs poo,we did our best but it should have been cut before we arrived."

  We rang the numbers we were given and reported this.They said that the gardener was ill,but the grass hadn,t been cut in weeks. We had the same problem with the two previous properties that we booked with you,but they did come and cut the grass.

• "Beautifully appointed, very clean & comfortable little house."

  The owners have provided for every need, including a wide selection of board games if you fancy a night in. Drummore is a great location if you value peace and quiet, and long beach or cliff top walks. There is a very friendly and cosy pub within 200m (The Ship) which serves hearty food every night and lunchtime, and a handy local shop in the village too. We will definitely return.

• "The cottage was a lovely property in a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking the harbour & bay beyond."

  It was extremely clean & very cosy. There was plenty of crockery, pots & pans & in fact everything we needed. Spare bin liners were provided as well as dishwasher tablets, dish soap & soap to get us started. There were biscuits, sugar, coffee & milk so we did not have to shop until the next day. We had a lovely stay in this comfortable property & went out every day in spite of the weather being a bit iffy the first couple of days. But that’s the British weather for you!

• "A lovely bungalow in a very quiet village."

  Clean throughout apart from shower cubicle. Beds in both rooms very comfortable. Good wardrobe space. Very well equipped kitchen but could do with a new tin opener. Spent time in the garden as had good weather but rotary clothes dryer broken and dangerous. Needs removing. Lovely walks and views from the village. Everyone we met very friendly. Made very welcome at the Mariners cafe and The ship inn with lovely food.

  Thanks for your lovely feedback. So please you enjoyed your stay and had some good weather. I can confirm we have replaced the rotary dryer today. Property Owner

• "An excellent stay, a perfect base to visit surrounding areas."

  The house was lovely and clean and well looked after. Constructive feedback is the rotary line needs replacing and I think the bathroom would benefit some shelving. Also an outside tap would be useful for washing sandy paws and feet

• "A lovely cottage in a lovely part of the world."

  Drummore is a lovely friendly little village and the local pub is dog friendly. And also does takeaway food. Oystercatcher was very clean and comfortable, there was no trace that dogs have stayed there previously so it is obviously cleaned to a high standard. When we arrived, the cottage was warm and cosy, an additional heater has been provided to assist the underfloor heating but we mostly switched this off as it was not needed. There was very windy weather during our stay and there was not a single draft coming through anywhere. The rooms are very spacious, the bed is very comfortable and a nice big fridge freezer in the kitchen was more than enough for our food and drinks for the week. The cottage looks exactly like the photos. We had an issue with the hot water during our stay and we contacted the owner for some tips and they were very helpful. Maybe we just expected a bit too much of the boiler so my advice to future guests would be to always boost the hot water (instructions are in the handbook) regardless if you think you are going to need it or not. We have been staying in cottages for the last 20 years, before it became fashionable and our friends and colleagues often ask for recommendations. We only recommend the really good ones and Oystercatcher will definitely be going on the recommendation list. They even provided a fleece blanket to cover the furniture so that our dog could enjoy the cottage too. We took our own but it was a lovely gesture. Things that I think the cottage needs to make it even better: A teapot. An outside tap, essential for dog friendly cottages when the dog has been on the beach. Some coat hooks behind the door in the hallway. We've had a very relaxing stay and would definitely return.

  Thankyou so much for your very detailed feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and would feel happy to recommend us to your friends and colleagues. Property Owner

• "Beautiful cottage well maintained and clean but oh dear heating was terrible."

  Very cold especially kitchen and bathroom. But heating unit buzzed all night. We decided not to stay the week and went home on Wednesday. Such a shame but it wasn’t cosy. We will book with you again as we are looking for Amble in September near the beach and pubs. Our little dog thoroughly enjoyed looking out the window. Sylvia Robertson

  Thankyou for your feedback. Sorry to hear you felt you had to cut your holiday short. We were not aware that you were having issues with the heating and would have done our best to help you out had we have been aware. We hope you enjoyed your stay apart from that and very pleased your dog enjoyed looking out of the window. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely week at Oystercstcher."

  The bungalow is lovely modern and all facilities you need. Our only comment is that a 5pm access to accommodation is late in the day especially for a winter break. The house was cold when we arrived and took couple hours to warm up. The Ship is great place to eat. Thank you.

  Thankyou for your lovely feedback. Really pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Oystercatcher. We take on board your comment on the later check in. We need to allow this time between guests to ensure the house is the best it can be for guests arriving. Property Owner

• "The property was spotlessly clean and everything we needed was provided."

  It has been fitted out to a very high standard. However we were disappointed with the shower cubicle---it was much too small and made having a shower quite uncomfortable. Also the basket provided in the shower for storing shower gel etc. was hopeless given where it was hanging(over the shower fitting)---it was quite difficult to fit stuff in. This would not stop us from staying at the property again.

  Thankyou for your lovely feedback. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  It’s in a very quiet location and very close to the beach. The weather was very wet, so we were glad to have a cosy cottage to come back to. Thank you for letting us stay in it. People in the area are very friendly. We enjoyed an evening at the Ship Inn and joined in with the Shanty Singers. Great fun

• "I don't know why this cottage isn't classed as 5 stars because I don't know what could really be improved."

  Everything is elite here, possibly access to back garden could be more secure but it was never really an issue. The facilities are brilliant, very fast WiFi and top rate kitchen. A rare place that not only allows dogs but provides a throw so my dog could be on the sofa as well. I've never come across that before. The Ship Inn nearby and the store just minutes walk away cater to everything I need. The house is very secure as on the odd days it was very windy you couldn't hear it much inside. A wonderful home
