• "Our stay in Swale Cottage was excellent."

  The cottage had everything to provide us with a lovely few days away. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise,thank you. The Cottage was clean and cosy especially when storm Ashley was beating at the door. We had lovely meals at the Craster Arms and Courtyard cafe just a short stroll from the property. Daisy,our four legged baby,loved the beach. We would return to this cottage in the future.

• "This cottage had everything you would need for your holiday stay and was excellent."

  The only fault was being 81, I was a little apprehensive with the shower. An excellent size but I would have appreciated a grab rail in case of slipping, a minor point but important if you are elderly and have mobility issues. Would definitely recommend this holiday cottage.

  Thank you for feedback Property Owner

  Always immaculately clean has all home comforts. It has well located for the village and the beach. Both only minutes away. Is it it is an ideal property for two people and a furry friend. I would have no hesitation rebooking this and hopefully will be getting back there again this year If you’re looking for value for money, comfortable place to stay a great location don’t look any further One Small criticism, the WiFi isn’t brilliant, I don’t get a normal signal on my phone and the WiFi is very slow. Could do with a boost. But five star otherwise.

• "This is our second visit to Swale cottage and will be coming back."

  It is ideal for two people and offers all the comfort of home. It is immaculate and done to a very high standard. Great location within the village and walking distance to everything. It is very well equipped and I even cooked a Sunday dinner !!! The second time we went, it was just like going home. A lovely welcome hamper was supplied too. My only criticism would be that it really could do with new pillows on the bed, they are past their sell by. But that’s only a very minor problem. I was going to book for new year, we were that last new year, but it’s already booked, someone going to have a lovely time.

• "We had a lovely stay and the cottage was well equipped."

  A couple of things would have improved our visit. The night storage heaters were off when we arrived in the early evening and so didn't give out any heat until the next day - it would be nice for the place to be warm for guests to arrive. The other slight issue is probably impossible for the owners to control...the noise coming from both neighbours houses! The walls must be very thin I think? We heard whole conversations, tv programmes, a dog barking and a child crying, but most annoying was the neighbour to the right if you face the building from the street, who moved furniture around and hoovered every morning at 7am!!!! But these were only minor annoyances even so - the house is comfortable, well-equipped, clean and brilliantly located!

• "A beautiful well presented seaside cottage."

  The place is small and compact and suitable for two people and one dog it has a beautiful interior, I just extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need to make for a comfortable pleasurable stay. It represents excellent value for money I have paid more to stay in other places which has not been as good as this one. There was a substantial welcome hamper as well as dog treats. Everything has been thought of to make you stay pleasurable. I will certainly be recommending the property and also booking again for a visit this year Well done guys. Your home is beautiful. Right

  The bungalow was easy to find, being winter we parked right outside, nut it does have an allocated parking space in a car park behind. The bungalow is spacious, modern with comfy furnishings and everything you could possibly require for a home away from home stay. The fresh flowers and generous welcome hamper was a lovely surprise, as was the dog hamper including treats and a towel. The owners have thought of everything but a small suggestion would be a rug in the lounger area for added comfort and a rug to step out of bed onto on a cold, snowy, wet winters morning. Would we return, definitely.

  Comfortable enough for two with all needs covered. A lovely touch with a hamper each for humans and dogs! The only comment I would add is that the bed frame (metal) looks great but needs tightening up on its joints as every time one or the other moves it squeaks which is annoying, especially if it wakes the other up

• "Very well equipped and spotlessly clean."

  A Welcome hamper there for us plus treats for our dog. This property is excellent for a nice holiday in Northumberland. The only small negative, and it is small, is that the photos kind of give the impression that there is a private garden seating area but there is only a bit at the front of the property, as it is a back to back bungalow and u can hear the neighbours through the walls. Apart from that it is very comfortable and we didn't have anybody staying on either side of us for the last 4 days of our stay. Overall for the price, it's a nice place to stay, we had a nice time there.

• "Lovely welcome pack and property, pity about the roofers working next door over the weekend, starting at 08:00 Saturday morning, our first morning."

  The roof is now completed but beware, more work will be needed to finish the extension. The property is ideal for the long, sandy beaches and village centre. A fish and chip van is situated adjacent to the well stocked, village shop. Eating at The Beadnell Towers Hotel for Jan's b'day which was very expensive and nothing special. A 10% service charge was added automatically. We do recommend, The Salt Water Cafe for coffee, cakes, lunch and dinner. The Craster Arms is warm and very dog friendly. Over all we had a very relaxing week, in this very well decorated, comfortable, well equipped hideaway. Unfortunately the evening before leaving, people arrived at the other side of us, with two yapping dogs. We love dogs but make an exception when they put out and left too yap for what seems like a lifetime. Saying all this we would return to this property that also dog friendly. Well done to the owners for thinking of everything you would need whilst here.

  Cosy and comfortable,with a very generous welcome pack.Good location in Beadnell,which we have visited before and is a lovely village. Only a couple of minor suggestions for improvement: shower is a bit weak,though water pressure in bathroom sink taps is good,so worth the owner having a look to see if the shower can be improved. Also a colander and a couple of extra serving bowls including a salad bowl would be great.
