• "We returned to Manor Cottage following our enjoyable time spent there last year."

  It once more provided a warm welcome after the day's exploration of this beautiful area that we appreciate so much. The wood burning stove was relaxing in the evening and our dog immediately felt at home. All the necessary facilities were provided including the conservatory and garden where we could watch the geese returning from the foreshore in late afternoon. Being close to the sea with excellent restaurants nearby is just a bonus.

• "We have stayed at this property on several occasions and were very pleased again with the comfort, facilities and location."

  No problems although the key box is a bit fiddly to operate. Otherwise excellent and we have booked again this cottage for next year. Thank you to the owners. Please note that on the website listing there is a very prominent negative comment. (Janet August 2024). Based on our experience from several visits to this cottage this is inaccurate and misleading.

• "Did not stay at the cottage as on arrival it was dirty, too many cobwebs and spiders, woodlice and dirty fridge ."

  Holiday was ruined as I had to find and pay for alternative accommodation for my two weeks Drive too steep needs levelling and either tarmac or concrete put down. Nosy neighbours frightened my three young grandchildren by peering over the fence. Would definitely NOT recommend.

• "Lovely property, beautiful garden we were lucky enough to get the weather to sit outside."

  As previously mentioned on other reviews we couldn't park on the driveway due to the steepness. Absolutely stunning coastline would definitely return. Craster Kippers are a must.

• "A good cottage."

  The entrance door to the main shower room needs attention as it fails to close etc. The external sliding conservatory door (which is acknowledged in the directions) is too complex, although it's a delightful space. More pans and a cheese grater are worth considering. And finally, the driveway would benefit from some attention in terms of foundation and levelling? Thanks Dr Jim Brogden

  Thank you for taking the time to comment, feedback from guests allows us to maintain high standards at Manor Cottage. We have looked at the doors to both the shower and bathroom and a guest had moved the "over the door" hook, which was stopping the door fully closing. This has now been rectified. The kitchen contains 3 pans with lids, 2 frying pans, a cast iron lidded pan/ oven dish alongside a variety of other oven dishes. The cheese grater has always been located in the deep kitchen drawer alongside a selection of serving bowls, measuring jugs and colander. We are aware that the drive is steeper than average and this is why we advise to reverse up, as stated in the website guidance. We are pleased that you enjoyed the new conservatory space, it has been a fantastic addition to Manor Cottage. Property Owner

• "The Property met our expectations."

  The village is truly beautiful. We enjoyed the village shop and meals out were a blessing after our busy days. Our dog quickly settled in front of the log burner as we recovered in the evening. The facilities in the property were first class and made for an enjoyable holiday. The distance through the village to the beach was misleading and disappointing as with a health condition that prevents my wife walking up steep inclines the main access was not an option. Luckily we explored an access point elsewhere in the village and were able to enjoy the beautiful bay.

• "What an excellent property, the perfect base for exploring Northumberland."

  The cottage is comfortable , clean and well equipped and the garden is wonderful for relaxing in after a hard day's exploring. The village itself is a lovely little village with a local shop which is open 7 days a week and 2 excellent pubs, and just a short walk down the hill to the beach, which is absolutely beautiful. A stunning place to stay.

• "This property may look a little dreary from the outside, but it is a really pleasant, comfortable and attractively furnished bungalow."

  The back enclosed garden is a very welcome addition. My only criticism is that it is a little misleading to describe it as two-bedroomed accommodation when really it can only accommodate two adults and up to four children - the bunkbeds only take young ones up to age of 17. I feel that should be made clearer. We already knew this actually as we have stayed there before so we knew that inviting our adult son to use it as a base for walking some of the St. Oswald way was not an option. All that said, we had a truly lovely week. Northumberland rarely disappoints.

  Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to comment. We are really pleased that you enjoyed the cottage and the garden. I`m sorry that you feel the listing is misleading. The bunk beds have full sized single mattress and are suitable for adults if they wish to use them. The top bunks are listed on the website as use for children only as we do not feel it is appropriate for adults to have to climb the ladders. I will request that this is made clearer on the website.

• "We have been to this cottage many times and absolutely love it."

  It is so comfortable and clean. We loved the new conservatory. Definitely be back again.

• "We were very impressed with the property."

  The level of cleanliness was exemplary, and the property lacked for no facilities. The conservatory was particularly welcome - we could enjoy the good weather without getting cold! The only slight downside was the drive. The description advises of the steepness, , but the loose gravel surface proved less than ideal - our rear wheel drive car could not negotiate the drive going forwards,and reversing on required a run at it, involving bouncing over the kerb at the entrance. A hard surface would perhaps work better. Having said that, parking on the street proved no problem, and certainly would not stop us booking this property again.
