• "Had a lovely stay here, a comfortable holiday home in a great position for walking into Amble."

  We were 3 adults and 2 dogs. The cottage is tastefully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay, very comfortable. Great to have a totally secure back yard to let the dogs out. Also the grass area out the front was perfect for evening and early morning dog exercise. We did have a problem with the heating not working at all, but good correspondence with the owner, not sure the problem was sorted but the weather changed and luckily we didn’t need the heating on for the rest of the week. One thing that was a slight problem was not being able to access the property until after 5pm, that’s very late and we were hanging around waiting to get in and get unpacked. Would definitely come here again, but understand it’s on the market, so maybe not available next year unfortunately. Definitely recommend staying here.

  Thank you for your lovely review it is much appreciated I am pleased you had a lovely break regarding the heating I can only apologise my plumber has checked that out and a previous guest had turned off every radiator upstairs in the property on the radiator thermostatic valves, including the bathroom radiator which when closed off restricts all flow of water around the system there was no need for this to have ever been turned off and I would’ve expected if a guest had turned them off for them to at least have the courtesy to turn them back on when they left so I apologise for thisIt was a totally unexpected issue and difficult for me to solve when I am many miles away. ps My Plumber was also on his annual holidays at the time of the problem Property Owner

• "We were disappointed to find dirty plates and glasses in cupboards."

  Around four Plates had dried baked been residue on, 3 glasses have dried on orange juice residue on. Two bedrooms a had to be re-hoovered. The hoover bag was so full that I had to empty it. The owner rang me asked if we could be out of the property Thursday dinner time as the house was up for sale and the estate agent had a viewing booked for dinner time, I agreed as i felt in had no choices as the viewing had already been booked.

  I spoke to the guest on the telephone and discussed the issues about dirty crockery put in the Cupboard. I apologise for this explain that I would inform the housekeepers and suggested that they put any dirty crockery in the dishwasher. I will also raise with the housekeepers the fact that the bedroom carpet needed to be re-hoovered I apologise for the Hoover bag being full however the housekeepers bring their own vacuum cleaners. Seascape is provided with two vacuum cleaners I don’t think that it is unreasonable that occasionally a guest may need to empty the vacuum cleaner when they have used it that is normal practice and polite. Regarding being asked to leave the property so that the estate agents could make a viewing this is not the case . I spoke to the guest on the telephone and asked if they minded if the agents carried out a viewing , The viewing was not pre-booked it was a request to see if he would mind if it went ahead he wasn’t asked to leave the property just if the agents could enter it for 15 minutes. The guests had the option to say no. We welcome all reviews positive or negative however I would like them to be truthful please. Property Owner

• "I have said this in my feedback to the owner, but I found the neighbour across the road was rude and hostile to visitors."

  On the whole the cottage was clean and comfortable but lacking in a few of the basics we have come to expect from our experience of other cottages.

  As the owner of Seascape I have not received any feedback from this guest regarding the rudeness of the neighbour across the road nor have I received any feedback regarding some basic amenities lacking in Seascape. We had 88% positive feedback at least on the cottage and its amenities and facilities I would be curious as to know what what was missing from the cottage that she would have required, That way I could rectify any items that were missing, however with feedback like this it seems to be just a moan as there is nothing mentioned that was required. I did however receive a phone call from the Neighbour across the road who explain that the guest had blocked his drive with her car and had asked her to move it.As there were other places to park her car without blocking his drive. All feedback is welcome providing it gives us the opportunity to rectify anything that guests Feel may need altering or adding to Seascape. Owner Property Owner

• "This was our first stay at seascape but it won’t be our last."

  Beautiful little cottage with everything you could possibly want, quiet location, view of coquet island and a an easy stroll into Amble. Having the green in front of the house was a bonus having two dogs, easy for that early morning or late night walk . The cottage was very well equipped and very clean and welcoming. We had an issue with the kettle not working but this was very quickly sorted out by the owner. Despite the weather we found plenty to do and a good variety of places to eat that welcomed our two dogs. If there was one thing I would have liked it would have been an outside tap and a hose pipe to swill down the back yard and the dogs after a dirty walk, but inside the house I couldn’t fault. We even found parking not to be an issue either. Looking forward to returning again soon. Thank you Alan and team.

  Thank you very much for your very kind feedback. I am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Seascape I apologise for the lack of an outside tap however with the weather that Northumberland. experiences it could cause major freezing problems in the winter. I am very pleased that my housekeepers resolve your issues with a broken kettle very quickly. It does help when guests telephone when there is a problem and then it can be sorted for you as soon as possible thank you. Unfortunately it is unlikely that you will be able to stay in Seascape with me as owner as it is being placed on the market very shortly to be for sale if you’re interested or anyone else is interested in purchasing this property the agents are Rook Matthews and Sayers In AMBLE Property Owner

  It’s like a home from home. The only minor issue is I think the microwave is on its last legs! It was making an awful noise! But that is nothing. It’s always clean tidy and just lovely. The Location of the cottage is spot 9on. To be honest I’d move in if I could ❤️❤️❤️

• "A few helpful things to note I hope!"

  - Location was amazing, so close to beach and playground. Couldn't have had better. - Car parking fine, always got a space. - No lighter in any of the drawers for the stove so used matches meant for wood burner. Another lighter needs to be purchased. - Cottage was generally clean, but could do with a deeper clean - I washed all cutlery on arrival (for example) and it very much smelt of dogs (we don't have any so really noticed this). Also, all drawers in bedrooms need a thorough wipe out (we decided not to use any due to this). - General waste kitchen bin lid needs replacing as doesn't open automatically which is annoying when cooking (perhaps just swap with the recycling bin lid and change the label if you want to save money). - I agree with one of the other comments about the beds. We are very good sleepers and have never had any problems before when staying away, but by the middle of the week my husband and I both had backache from the mattress in the main bedroom. I would recommend replacing this soon as I would not want to spend another night on there. Pillows seemed fine (I would recommend pillow protectors on them to be used under the pillow covers however due to hygiene between guests). - Washing line and pegs very helpful - please add some more pegs to the bag. Hope the above is constructive - the cottage and location were brilliant overall and we had a lovely holiday.

  Thank you for your feed back . We will look into your suggestions, thank you for bringing the points to my attention. Regards owner. Property Owner

• "We were pleasantly surprised as mostly the cottage exceeded our expectations."

  However, we all found the beds uncomfortable. Somewhere to hang coats in the hall would be nice - it was odd to remove one’s shoes at the front door and then go through to the back door to hang up one’s coat. We would have liked a proper chopping board in the kitchen (there was a surface protector which is very noisy if used as a chopping board and was needed for hot pans, and the lid of the bread bin which did not really suffice). If there was a way to include a downstairs toilet in the hall cupboard it would be a great improvement.

  Thank you for your feedback . There is not room for coats to be hung by the front door, coats can be hung in the cloak room and in the rear porch. the rack is for storage of shoes/ boots . You are not expected to remove shoes as the very large hall floor is laminate for this reason and for people with dogs. We had a downstairs toilet which was a macerator type however due to constant damage to it by flushing items that these toilets can’t process and the resulting bills £1600 in 3 months to replace damaged macerators ( three of them) and the resulting floods by flushing a toilet that has been damaged it was removed and is now a cloakroom / storage area.. Sorry. Thank you Owner. Property Owner

• "We are 3 ladies in our late 60s, we found the settee's far too low, and the beds too soft, but the house itself was nice and the kitchen very well equipped."

  We prefer all on one level living as we have joint problems, but for younger fitter people it's ideal.

  Thank you for your feedback it is much appreciated. The settees are on the low side, I do hope that this didn’t cause too many problems for you. The bed mattresses are standard comfort orthopaedic mattresses with a soft top layer. The degree of hardness of mattresses preferred by guests is very personal , I have chosen to provide the standard average hardness, I’m sorry they didn’t suit your needs. With regard to your preference to all one level living, I can only say that it is clearly a house with stairs and this was clear on the property description. When guests book , if any questions are asked to Sykes regarding any doubts you may have, Sykes will check with myself immediately so your concerns can be answered. Property Owner

• "On the whole Seascape is a nice place to stay with the beach being literally a one minute walk."

  The house itself does feel a little tired, some of the crockery is chipped, the dishwasher top drawer is broken, the footplates between doors have screws sticking up and these hurt your feet. The shower needs a good clean. We thought the DVD player was broken but then realised the batteries in the remote were dead ( should that be down to guests to check??) The slow cooker is fab as is the log burner and a decent sized washing line with enough pegs is a smashing touch. The house without the log burner is nice and warm.

  Many thanks for taking your time to submit your comments. I am sorry to learn that the stay did not match your expectations. I am somewhat perplexed by some of the comments raised. I had offered to replace the kettle at the time when you had raised it with me as I like to keep spare sets of items in storage should events like these happen but this idea was dismissed at the time. In terms of the crockery, this is not something that has been raised previously but I would very much welcome any feedback and as such, the items will be replaced. There are spare sets of crockery within the property to ensure our guests have everything they need should anything accidentally break. With respect to your comments about the property feeling tired, I am unsure how to acknowledge this as the property has just recently been redecorated. As always, If I am made aware at the time of any issues you may face, I am more than happy to address these to ensure all of our guests have a pleasant stay at Seascape. Thank you again for your feedback, we really do value the time given in order for us to address any potential concerns for the future. Best wishes, The owner of Seascape Property Owner

• "Great cottage."

  Deceptively spacious inside. Really cosy, home from home. Great location, only few mins to sea and sea views from the main bedrooms. Fully equipped. Only downside is that there is only one toilet/bathroom.

  Hi , thank you for your very positive feedback, it is much appreciated. We did have two toilets. We are very sorry that the downstairs toilet had to be removed as it was a Maserator type toilet which can only flush toilet paper. And not other items that were continually being flushed down it , even though we had huge signs in the toilet. thus causing nasty problems and blockages at a cost of £1500 for new macerators in 6 months . But mainly the mess for the cleaners and inconvenience to following guests. We deeply regret this for all our guests. Best wishes Owner. Property Owner

• "Seascape is a comfortable, spacious, well-equipped holiday home in a pleasant quiet area with direct access to the sea and the coastal path."

  It really felt like a home from home, with nice furnishings and pictures and views of the sea and Coquet Island. Plenty of free parking made life very easy there, as did the open grass and the beach where we could walk our dogs right from the house. One toilet between six people required good communications, but otherwise there was plenty of space for everyone. I liked that the kitchen had lots of crockery and pots and pans etc, although on one rainy day when I thought I’d bake a cake, I couldn’t find any baking tins. My biggest issue was the oven which took an age to heat up (it’s very big!) and didn’t seem to have much temperature control. But these were very minor issues, and overall we loved the house which was perfect for us and our dogs. We had a really lovely holiday. Amble is a delightful place, a proper unspoilt seaside town with fantastic walks, beaches, rock pools and jetties.

• "The property no longer has a downstairs toilet even though it was still advertised as such when we booked."

  This was problematic at times for 5 of us. The pillows on the beds were heavily stained and flat as pancakes, and the mattress on the double bed in the main front bedroom was MASSIVELY uncomfortable, resulting in a poor week's sleep, and aching backs for two of us. Also, privacy was an issue as none of the windows had any kind of nets or voile, and the bathroom window needs a roller blind. The bathroom could also benefit from some hooks to hang clothes whilst bathing, and a shelf or end table next to the roll-top bath, as there is nowhere to put any toiletries.

  Thank you for your comments. With regards to the toilet, you should have received an email to inform you of the change prior to your stay. There were six new pillowcases left at the property before your stay, some of which were still in unopened packaging as spares. We are sorry you found the mattress uncomfortable, unfortunately it is difficult to cater to all tastes. We purposely do not put voiles or blinds at the windows as shown in the photographs, as it would be a shame for guests to miss the views. We take on board your comments about the hooks in the bathroom and thank you for your suggestion, there are four glass shelves adjacent to the shower. Property Owner
