  It is very near local shop and restaurants and the beach is wonderful. Lovely area to stay and when we arrived there was bread and milk in the fridge just what we needed. This is our 2nd time here and hope to go again.

• "Just what we expected."

  Handy location for us as birdwatchers, with the beach being so close, also for Seahouses, Lindisfarne, Cragside and other attractions.

• "The cottage was exceptionally clean."

  The front garden area was well kept and 2 garden chairs and a small table was provided. The facilities we could not fault, hairdryer and straightener, a vast range of cookwear and utensils in addition to a very easy to use washing machine with outside line and indoor airer. The extra touch of a loaf of bread, tea and milk was also very welcomed. There was also dishwashing liquid, cloths and tea towells. Out and about, dog friendly beach less than 5 minute stroll, harbour and another dog friendly beach approx 15 minute stroll, nearest village pub that served lovely food less than 10 minute stroll, all flat with no inclines. We had a lovely week staying in Primrose Cottage, and the surrounding area was beautiful, Lindisfarne was approx 30 minute drive and Hadrian's Wall took us just over an hour to get to Walltowns Crag. Seahouses was a 5 minute drive and the Fish and Chips in Lewis's were delicious and reasonably priced. We would not hesitate to recommend this property when visiting this gorgeous part of Northumberland

  A slight concern that a loud electrical buzz was emanating from the small Cupboard in hall. Noise was constant throughout our stay . Overall a generally pleasant stay.

• "Nice little bungalow."

  In a good spot for the beach and the pub. We were caught out by the heating being switched off early one night. Got in after 10 to find out there was no heat. Not good on a cold night but apart from that it was fine.

• "Great Location, however in need of some TLC."

  Microwave was rusty, No basic cleaning supplies (No dish cloths,Bin bags , and bin lid did NOT fit on bin). General cleanliness was substandard , thick black dust of skirting boards behind bed , Valance on bed hanging off and filthy, mattress was relatively comfortable, however a spring has gone in the mattress -therefore making it noisy (and therefore needs replacing). Bedroom had an extremely rusty radiator, and a very damp smell. On a positive note there is a full size fridge/freezer which is handy, a washing machine , and a clothes line outside -Plus what looked like new sofas in Lounge (which were very comfortable).

• "We stayed for a short 4 night break with our two hounds in April."

  The accommodation was perfect for us, we didn’t have to worry about getting sand all over, the easy clean laminate flooring just swept. Well kept and stocked kitchen, with everything we needed. Outside was fine for our hounds, but if you have a ‘jumper’ the fence wouldn’t be high enough. We didn’t really have warm enough weather to sit outside, but there was table and chairs if needed. The accommodation is compact, but adequate, there was floor space for our two dog beds. All in all a lovely little place and very near to the fantastic beach.

• "On opening the porch door we were hit by an overpowering smell of dogs."

  This wasn't a home from home, no ornaments or home comforts, not even a lamp in the living area, we had to put the kitchen light on rather than sit with the main lights on. The bed was very small, it certainly wasn't a double. The bathroom was nice and the shower was lovely. There was milk in the fridge for us and a small loaf of bread which was a nice gesture. The bungalow could do with a make over, new blinds etc, and a few finishing touches.

  It was very comfortable and cosy but a lot smaller than we expected. I couldn't make out how the oven worked, as no instructions and the dials were unreadable and no frying pan. The property was very clean and tidy.

• "Totally stunning area, beautiful."

  Primrose Cottage is not a Cottage it felt like an oap bungalow in a residential area. It was a nightmare to find, didn't help that the 7 was missing of the 76, the other number was on the other side and clearly not seen from the road. I was some what disappointed with the cleanliness of Primrose, had to clean dishes and cutlery as there was dried food on them, the cupboards inside were dirty, even found a pair of someone's pants in the washing machine, so much for the apparent deep clean!! On a positive Craster Arms for a meal is a must, beautiful and a very dog friendly place. Will definitely be back to Northumbria just not here!

• "The property worked for us as we just needed a base for walking Great proximity to the coast path and good local pub and cafe."

  It was clean n warm once we figured out the heating.Shower good Great to have wifi as phone signal poor. Nice sitting out area but no view . However we were disappointed that it wasnt actually a cottage more like an OAP bungalow and on an estate not actually in the village There wasnt a sign for Primrose Cottage and we didnt know the number so wasted time in the rain locating it . The oven only has 1 shelf so we had to use a trivet as a second one.Decor a bit dated The bedroom was cramped due to a useless wardrobe ( only one side opened) Made it feel like a caravan bedroom as your head was up against the side of the wardrobe and the shelf on the wall strange height and wobbly A bit more thought in the bedroom would easily make it more comfortable. Might be a covid thing but would have been useful to know no sponge or washing up brush cling film foil etc in the kitchen We are used to these basics in UK holiday homes but maybe thats changed Just say then we know to bring them

• "Cottage was tired and in need of a refurbishment."

  Paint on ceiling had run down walls. Lots of dust and stains. Drawers hadn’t been cleaned out of previous guests as personal item was left in. No room for storing suitcase so kept tripping over it in bedroom. No shelving in bathroom for personal belongings. On the positive side it was close to the beach and surrounding areas we wanted to visit. A secure garden for the dogs which was perfect to catch the evening sun after a day out. A good dog friendly pub nearby which serves good food.
