• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lazy Seal."

  It's a beautiful apartment in an excellent location, within walking distance to Spittal Beach. We highly recommend The Lazy Seal as a home from home from which to enjoy visiting Berwick Upon Tweed and the surrounding area. We will definitely be booking again.

• "The Lazy Seal is easily one of the best places we have ever stayed in."

  The apartment is incredibly well furnished for a family, and served as a perfect base from which to explore Northumbria and East Lothian from. All of the rooms are a fantastic size so you never feel cramped. The sofas and beds are very comfortable and it's literally a stones throw from the beach. Thank you Tracey and family!

• "The Lazy Seal was the perfect base for us."

  We loved the proximity to the beach (5 minutes walk) and the quiet location. There is lots of space and the beds were so comfy. We really appreciated the welcome goodies, especially the fresh eggs from Noah’s hens. The kitchen was well equipped and we found everything we needed to keep on top of the laundry. We‘d love to come back again!

• "Lazy Seal is a fabulous holiday property."

  It is very well equipped, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. A lovely welcome hamper is a very nice touch. Tracey was very helpful and welcoming. It is a few minutes walk from Spittal promenade which is super for an evening walk. The beach is stunning and deserted much of the time. Highly recommended holiday home.

  One small thing for reference: One of the kitchen cupboard handles came off when I opened it (the one nearest the sink I think)?

• "The cottage was wonderful."

  We couldn't fault a thing. If anything, this accommodation far exceeded our expectations. The whole place was far larger than we were expecting and much closer to the beach. the host left us a small hamper to start out holiday including some treats for our pup.

• "Stayed here as a family with a toddler and small dog."

  Apartment is ground floor which made it easier with my toddler and the pram and was so spacious! Highchair and travel cot was provided too we just needed to bring our own mattress for the travel cot and bed linen for it. There was also plastic plates and bowls too and a box of toys so thoughtful which made our stay so much easier. Apartment came with a welcome pack with eggs, bread, milk and chocolate biscuits. There was other additional bonuses too laundry pods, tea/coffee/sugar sachets. Rooms were super comfortable and towels provided. Smart TV in main bedroom and livingroom so you can log into netflix/watch youtube. Log fire and starter pack for the log fire. Location was great the playground and splash park and small arcade was just round the corner right next to the beach. Beach was also dog friendly. 25 minute walk to Berwick where we got the train to Edinburgh. Rooms do get light so the only thing i would add is curtains to make it blackout on top of the blinds and also a mop for any spillages

  Very clean very comfortable property with everything you need and more ( the welcome hamper is a lovely touch) . The location -with Spittal beach just yards away and on the borders of Scotland and Northumberland for days out- is fabulous. Parking for two cars. We had a great holiday.The owner letting us in early and checking in that everything was ok is another big star from us . We highly recommend this holiday home .

  The apartment is a home from home. Lovely and clean, very comfortable and very spacious (family of 5 plus our dog).

• "This is a lovely apartment, impeccably clean and much bigger than it looks on the photographs."

  All the little extra touches made a difference including the welcome pack and Noah’s eggs! The location is great, we were on the beach every morning with the dog, and the neighbours were very friendly. We explored the coast, everywhere was easy to get to from here, and one day we took the train into Edinburgh. Would recommend.

• "Our stay at The Lazy Seal was great!"

  The property was easy to find and easy to access when we arrived. Travelling in 2 cars I was concerned that having no private parking would have been a problem but there was always plenty of parking on the street at all times of day. When we arrived the property was spotlessly clean and included lots of lovely welcoming touches including Halloween sweets for the kids, chocolate bees in the kids room and a chocolate treat in the other bedrooms. As others have mentioned the welcome pack including bread, milk, cereals and Noah’s eggs was much appreciated. The Wi-Fi was easy to access and very reliable, much appreciated with 2 kids with iPads! Some key items that were available at the property but not included on the property listing were nespresso coffee machine, hairdryer, iron and ironing board. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap were also provided in the bathroom. There was also a nice collection of toys and books for the children. The location was good with the beach in easy walking distance and the local shop just down the road. We didn’t need to have much contact with the owners but any time we did Tracey was lovely. Would definitely recommend a stay here and we would definitely go back.

• "The Lazy Seal is in a good location, close to the shop and beach, owners very helpful."

  very good tv setup, and comfortable beds. A few minor things that could make it 5 stars. no teapot or milk jug, a coffee table in the lounge would be useful,, could do with a mirror above the bathroom wash basin, or a portable one on the window sill. As we live in a detached house, noise from people above a bit distracting, may not bother some people.

• "Enjoyable family holiday staying at the 'Lazy Seal'."

  Very clean with everything provided for a relaxing week in immaculate accommodation. Personal touches added make you feel welcome on arrival. Well situated for beaches, walks, castles and surrounding areas. Made to feel part of the community by neigbours and Bailey the lovely Labrador. Thanks Tracey we will certainly be returning. Perhaps a nightlight in children's bedroom on shelves would be an advantage.

• "The Lazy Seal was excellent."

  It was spotless, fresh and comfortable. The welcome pack was super and very much appreciated. I have only one small recommendation, bed side tables on both sides of beds with bed side lamps would be really handy for both big bedrooms. Otherwise , the accommodation was perfect.

  The welcome hamper was much appreciated, especially Noah’s eggs. The location is perfect for exploring the Northumberland coastline and we walked into Berwick a few times as well as visiting Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Alnwick and even a day in Edinburgh. We had lots of lovely walks along Spittal beach which is just around the corner. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.

  The house was cleaned to a high standard and was beautifully decorated. The owners left us a lovely starter hamper of goodies and a very thoughtful Easter gift which went down well with our little one! The location was perfect for the beach and promenade where we spent a lot of time walking our pooch. There was a bus service literally a minute walk away that took us into Berwick Upon Tweed for the days we didn't want to drive

• "Unfortunately it was freezing cold in most rooms, the radiators in some of the rooms didn’t actually heat them."

  No heating in kitchen and kids room. The log burner did heat it up but not ideal to rely on that. Temperature gauge on bath didn’t work properly- the water was too hot and couldn’t be turned down. No matches or lighter in the flat so it was a pain to have to go out first night to buy them for the log burner. Flat was exceptionally clean though and looked lovely. No family sized pans for cooking meals.

  Thank you for your feedback and naturally we are upset you found some issues. On the situation with the heating there is a thermostat in the kitchen that controls all the rooms along with this you can also turn the heating up in each room on the heaters. There was a lighter left for the log fire but this is kept in the kitchen drawer with the cutlery for safety away from children. There was also a contact number left for any of these issues that could have been resolved very easily if we was contacted. I am pleased to hear you found us very clean and comfortable and am hoping you also enjoyed your hamper, milk, bread, chocolates and bottle of Buck’s Fizz that was kindly left for you to make your self catering experience that little more enjoyable.
