  The door jams on the tiled floor as it is opened and the door catch sticks and It is only a matter of time before someone gets locked in.

• "Upon entering the property , the air was filled with a wonderful clean fragrance ."

  And the property looked clean and tidy . The bed was comfortable , shower, and lounge was prefect . kitchen was adequately furnished and functional utensils . The Conservatory was a wonderful addition to this property. Over the time of our stay we encountered a problem with the placement of the washing machine ( Partially Under a counter , and controls were difficult to use , and dark as it was partially under the counter ). The garden / patio was also a good useable space , however it was tired and needed a bit of love . Also on further inspection we discovered cobwebs under the bed , and dust and debris under the sofas . Overall , I would definitely return to this property .

• "No oven for 4 days."

  This fault was known prior to our stay commencing yet we were not informed. Shopping purchased for self catering wasted and had to eat out more often than planned. On the plus side I learnt how to be a master safe breaker. Such skills are required to gain access to the property due to the lock barrel being very loose and only functioning in a very precise position. Not great when needing the loo. Being a fan of Marvel I was rather chuffed about the homage paid to Spiderman in the corners of each room. That is why the cobwebs were there isn't it? Second visit to Bedwine... won't be returning and Sykes have severely muckied their ticket to. Used to be go to first choice.... We'll search for alternatives wherever possible now

  Co.uk, but have never received any return correspondence to this day. I'd just like to let you know about our stay at bedwine cottage & the concerns we found. Firstly upon arrival, we noticed the conservatory windows were quite dirty inside & out, then to be greeted by a mop, bucket & brush to the right of the door is really not a good look, and also behind the radiator in the conservatory was really dirty & looked like it hadn't been cleaned in quite a while, which was not a good start considering we'd just arrived. Once we were inside, we thought the cleaners had decorated for Halloween, as the amount of cobwebs were disgusting, (please forgive my sarcasm), these were on living room ceiling, above the map & about 6ft long (please see the attached video's & photo's). Also quite large cobwebs either side of the extractor in the kitchen. Crumbs were left on the kitchen bench, plates, glasses & bowls had not been cleaned thoroughly. (Please see photo's). We only cleaned what we used for the week, so the rest will need a thorough clean. The kitchen utensils also seemed liked they hadn't been cleaned as glass cooking bowls had a film of grease on them & the spatula had baked on burnt food which also required a thorough clean before use. The bathroom was nicely decorated, but the floor left a lot to be desired in terms of cleanliness, (Once again see photo after a small portion was cleaned). The hot water tap in the bathroom is loose & moves from side to side, (not a big issue, but needs sorting out). The lounge tv cabinet had not been dusted properly, as there was a lot of dust around the shelves under the TV. When closing the door blind on an evening, we found a slat missing from the middle (see photo). Half way through the week we decided to use the washer to clean the dogs towels, and upon opening the washer door dirty water spilled out onto the kitchen floor, leaving a nasty smell of dirty standing water, which again needed a thorough clean. The bedroom was lovely, but the mattress protector was stained & yellow, this really needs replacing. We have been using SYKES cottages for 7 years now and have never had to send any correspondence concerning the cleanliness of any properties we have stayed at, so this is a first on our behalf. Please don't think we didn't enjoy our week away, we did, it's just the overall standard of cleanliness left a bit of a sour taste. I hope you can speak to the cleaning staff & rectify this, as all it needs it a little more attention to detail. Many thanks Stuart, Joanne & Milo Unfortunately the video's are too big to attach to the email. I will try and send them some other way. My apologies.

  Thank you for your feedback, we apologise for the issues you encountered during your stay. We ask guests to call the number given so these can be addressed at the earliest so not to impact your holiday.

• "Sofa could have more support (board) to prevent cushions sagging into sofa-bed area."

  Temperature on hot water immersion set too high, water heats boiling point in approx. 10-15 seconds.

• "Lovely well equipped bungalow in a good location with easy access to all Beadnell has to offer."

  Ideal for two and a dog. Little garden and conservatory are lovely places to sit in the sun. Shower a little small. Hubby is 6’2” and couldn’t bend to pick up shower gel.

• "The cottage works as somewhere to sleep, shower and cook basic meals."

  There is off road parking 60m away and the location in Beadnell is good. It is well equipped.On the other hand it is dark and lacking any sense of space/view. We were lucky with the moderate weather. If it had been hot the cottage would be very uncomfortable as the only way to get air in the buliding is to open the kitchen window or conservatory door,both adjacent to a path used regularly by pedestrians and dog walkers. If you want a simple base from which you want to explore the area it is fine.

• "We really enjoyed our stay."

  The area was lovely and quiet and the cottage suited us as a couple with a dog. The cottage was well stocked with equipment for cooking and washing and it was lovely to have the conservatory to sit in as the weather was mixed and unpredictable. It would have been helpful to have had info about the Wi-Fi included in the cottage information book. We only found the card with the password when we happened to move a chair in the conservatory. There was an instruction in the book when to put the bin out but no indication of where it went. (The cottage is situated off the road) I had to ask one of the neighbours. All in all we liked the cottage and would have no hesitation in recommending a stay there to other people.

• "Dangerously scalding hot water with no warnings!"

  Very well presented cottage just right for 2 people plus 1 dog. Bed linen and towels supplied. Well kitted out kitchen , utensils and crockery could have been a bit cleaner. Comfortable bed. Hard flooring easy to clean (a dust pan and brush would help). Excellent for walking to the beach and pub. Local shop nearby for essentials. A great little cottage. Would stay again.

• "Adequate accommodation."

  Living room very dark. The only natural light comes through glass door, and from open kitchen. Washing machine not working. Northumbria Coast and Cottages sent maintenance person round promptly, but they couldn't fix it. NCC also brought round wine glasses, fixed DVD player, and provided new (clean) toilet brush.

  Fran (a local) who knew the owner recommended this property and we loved it. Have stayed since and probably again at some point. Perfect for us with the fenced off garden.

• "The property is in a lovely quiet development, with adequate space for 2 people."

  Furniture and kitchen of a good standard. Dog friendly - we had one dog - and absence of carpet and rugs made it easy to keep clean.
