Thank you for writing this review and your kind words.
I will pass it on to the team - they were so happy yesterday by how you had left the cottage so clean and tidy. I know you had dogs there because I caught a glimpse of them getting in the car, but there were absolutely no doggy traces inside! We do love having dogs - good to hear they enjoyed their holidays.

"Cottage was lovely, well furnished and well equipped."
In a lovely location with plenty of walks for the dogs. More than dog friendly with loads of beds and blankets left for the dogs to use as well as treats, toys, dog shampoo etc. There were also plenty of board games for the adults to use too!
Only things we could have done with was a stair gate and fire guard. We were travelling with a 3 year old who was into everything, he had quite a nasty accident when he fell and bumped his head on the hearth which could have been prevented with either foam around the hearth or a fire guard (a fire guard would also prevent little fingers from touching the fire when on as the fire is quite large and sticks out quite a bit- we didn't use it during our stay because of this).
But overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend for anyone to stay here!

"We had a wonderful time at Cresswell."
Asta cottage was very spacious for our multi generation holiday. Having three bathrooms was a definite bonus and the children loved the space to play both indoors and out. As a family with different dietary needs there was plenty of space and equipment in the kitchen to have two people cooking seperate meals, or on occasions even more.
Asta cottage is one of the cleanest cottages we have stayed in and would definitely return. A lovely welcome pack was also provided. Maxine's communication was really good and we would like to give her and her team a huge thank you.

We loved it! It is so homely. Very pet friendly - beds left for our three dogs. A lovely welcome package when we arrived. The kitchen is very well equipped with a lovely big kitchen table. The bedrooms were lovely with very comfortable beds. Plenty of room in the living area with four sofas and a huge log burner. The garden was fantastic - a great size to sit out, the kids to play along with the dogs and is very secure. The location of the cottage is perfect as it is minutes away from the beach. Fabulous beach walks and pretty central to visit lots of different places.

"Had a fantastic stay at Asta cottage!"
The house was so spacious and location was perfect. Loved our strolls along the green to the beach which was perfect for the dogs. The master suite was huge and had an amazing view to the walled garden of Pele tower which was also worth a visit. The lounge was great for film nights and everyone had a sofa! We all thoroughly enjoyed the week and are missing our evening strolls on the beach which felt tropical as the sand is so white and the water so clear!

"We had a lovely stay at the village 4 adult 2 children and 3 dogs."
The cottage was lovely and spacious and had everything we needed and more. Although we had packed prepared for our dogs there were bowls towels beds and some treats provided as well. A lovely welcome pack. We did take logs and a couple had been provided but the fire is a monster so best off being more prepared. Although the cottage was warm and cosy anyway. We ate at the driftwood cafe and the Greek there on the evening which was pricey however the food and service was fantastic. We didn’t need to venture out of cresswell the whole weekend spent our days walking up cresswell beach and across to durridge bay both were dog friendly and full of dog walkers. The driftwood cafe is also dog friendly. We had a lovely stay and would definitely consider returning.
Thank you for this lovely review. We like to make sure our furry friends have a good time as well as their owners!
Yes, you are right about the wood burner being huge - it's because the sitting room is rather large. We should warn guests it can get a bit tropical in there once the fire has been going a while - wood and layers would be good.

"We had such a lovely stay in Asta Cottage for our Christmas celebrations."
We arrived the day before Christmas Eve for a 4 night stay with my family including 3 dogs. We arrived to some lovely treats we enjoyed during the stay but what was particularly lovely was the beds layed out ready for our dogs and treats for them. It’s so nice knowing that our fur family are as welcome as we are, it really adds to the experience. Maxine could not have been more helpful before our stay and during. It was a busy time for everyone preparing for Christmas but she took the time to make it special. The cottage is ideal for a family with a very large living room and plenty of seating which makes a difference as we have stayed in a lot of other places when you have to either squish up on settees or get dining chairs in the room. The cottage was clean and well maintained. We would love to stay in the summer months as the garden area is lovely. One of the best parts though is how close to the beach the cottage is. You can see it from the house and very easy to get to. One tiny addition that we would have found helpful would be to have a coat rack in the corner as you come in the house. With the weather being mixed we had a lot of big coats that were wet and needed carrying through the house. Thank you for a lovely stay.
thank you for your lovely comments. Of course our furry friends are very important! I think that if the dogs are happy and safe then everyone can enjoy their holiday. I have just bought a shoe rack and put it by the back door because I noticed shoes when I visited some guests recently. I agree it's probably a good idea for a coat rack too. When I lived there I brought my dogs back in through the other door - hence the rack and some hooks where the washer is. However it seems to be guests' preference for the kitchen way - it's certainty warmer in there. Good excuse to go to IKEA or check out Amazon. Thanks for being great guests and leaving everything clean and tidy.

One small thing was the garden area and the furniture was not very comfy and maybe the addition of a barbecue would be good.
Thank you for this lovely feedback and for leaving the house in good order.
Much debate went on about the garden furniture before I chose the current ones. The idea was to be flexible and make sure the furniture was movable without it blowing around on windy days. Resin sunbeds broke against the wall in the windy weather.
There are cushions in the cupboard in the porch. Considered bigger heavier furniture but then we lose the option of children having more space to run around. The debate goes on - I will look at other options.
Guests are very welcome to use disposable barbecues . With hygiene and safety reasons in mind, plus prioritising staff time on change over day we currently do not have a barbecue. Will consider options - I appreciate suggestions from guests and want people to have a good time.

"Asta Cottage is in a fabulous location, within a couple of minutes walk to an amazing beach!"
We were welcomed with a few essentials and a much appreciated bottle of wine and chocolates - a lovely touch.
The cottage is well equipped with absolutely everything you might need in the kitchen - far better than I've come across in other cottages. It also has lots of lovely extras such as buckets and spades, plus all you might want for a picnic. The TV is the biggest I've ever seen and comes with a Sky package.
The lounge is huge and filled with chairs and sofas, so there's plenty of room for everyone!
There were just a small few negatives which, obviously, are subjective but did affect our stay. The heating in the upstairs large en suite room was not working correctly. I did have a conversation with the owner about it which was helpful but didn't solve the problem. I'm no plumber but I believe the radiators need bleeding since they were lukewarm at the bottom and stone cold at the top. The hot water bottles were a nice touch and well needed.
The ground floor en suite bedroom would be perfect for someone with limited mobility - however this is the only bathroom which has an over bath shower (the upstairs bathrooms have walk-in showers). We all agreed that this bathroom would have been much better if it was more accessible.
Overall, we had a great holiday and I would return to Asta Cottage!
Thank you for your nice comments about the cottage - it's good to hear you liked it.
Sorry the actual radiators weren't working and that I did not know about that. We are looking to change the old type radiators as, despite the plumber bleeding them regularly, the fact that they are able to be turned on and off results in issues when this happens. It will need to be during the quieter months when work can be carried out so when guests turn radiators off and on the whole system isnt affected.
The downstairs bathroom did used to have just a walk-in shower which I recently changed for a bath to give more flexibility. Its good to have feedback - I want guests to have a pleasant stay that meets their needs. I will look into updating the description of what is available so guests can get a more accurate picture before they come.
Hope to see you again.

We had an issue in the upstairs en suite where the water in the shower had to be plunged as it was backing up, but once plunged it drained normally. And the downstairs bedroom was very cold, it did heat up but was very cold on the first night so our gran had to sleep upstairs (stairs are an effort for her so we'd booked the cottage as it had a downstairs bedroom that she could use). But overall we loved the cottage and the hot water bottles were a very nice touch, we'd stay again.

"We couldn't have wished for a better place to be."
The cottage is so well equiped and they've thought of everything. Just a short walk from the beautiful beach and a great little cafe bar and a great location to venture out and see the fantastic sights of the Northumberland Coastline. We all loved it
Thank you for your lovely feedback. You were great guests. The staff really appreciated how clean and tidy you left the house.

"Very spacious, comfortable & well-equipped property - more of a house than cottage - extremely close to Cresswell's beautiful sandy beach."
Maxine the owner is very helpful and quick in replying and could not have been a nicer host. We would highly recommend this holiday property and our party of 6 including teenage boys and grandparents all thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Cresswell Ices just by the beach sells delicious homemade ice-cream and whilst the village doesn't have any other shops/pubs there are plenty nearby and we enjoyed the peaceful setting. The Northumberland coast is just stunning with plenty to see and do. A fabulous holiday all round.
Thank you for your kind comments and for taking the time to give us feedback.
You were voted as great guests for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy by the staff and me.
