  • "This is our 2nd time we have stayed at this accomodation and the property, facilities and location are absolutley first class."

    Despite spending the majority of our time out and about, the only trivial comment we would make about the faciltiy is that the the TV in the lounge is a little on the small size, however, we reiterate that the standard of facilities and maintenance of this property is excellent.

    Thank you for your positive feedback.We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We will bear your comment about the tv in mind and when it needs replacing provide a larger set. We hope to see you again in the New Year.Best wishes for a Happy Christmas and good New Year. Property Owner

  • "Very clean property, lovely house from the outside and located in peaceful culdesac, couldn’t understand why all rooms were not pictured on the website ."

    Would have liked it nearer to Seahouses to avoid driving to the village to park each day and then I’d be able to indulge in an alcoholic drink but that was my poor judgement and lack of nearer properties. All in all a lovely place to stay which was nearby all my favourite places . Small token of a welcome pack or welcome card would have been well received.Ive been visiting Northumberland since I was a child and as an adult this was one of the first times no card or small welcome token wasn’t provided . But would definetly recommend it .Night lights were nice touch at night . Great amount of coat hangers too .

    Glad you enjoyed the holiday. I cannot understand why there was not a wellcome token in the cottage, we always leave a bottle of wine for our guests. Apologies if our manager did not do so on this occasion. We have stopped leaving tea ,coffee and biscuits as so many guests prefer there own . Property Owner

  • "This was an exceptional property located a short walk from Seahouses and located in North Sunderland."

    The property is only five years old and in a small development of properties built at the same time. The owners seem to have thought of everything that you might want with a good shower, heating system, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer , lovely rear garden & seating area for outdoor eating. The property is managed by one of the neighbouring properties and when I mentioned the electric kettle was leaking the owners appeared later that day with a brand new kettle; truly positive and responsive. Highly recommended as a comfortable base for a holiday in Northumberland.

    Lovely touch with the wine. Really enjoyed our stay and great location. A hair dryer would be really useful as thought there would be one in the house but apart from that really well equipped!

    So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for staying at Brindles Cottage. A hair dryer was left in the wardrobe i in the double bedroom, I will check on the next change over day. Next time I will leave one in the king sized room. Thank you for your comments. Property Owner

  • "The accommodation appeared to be brand new and the rooms & layout were ideal."

    As keen hikers (and beer drinkers) the location was ideally positioned to explore Northumberland and there were more than enough pubs and restaurants close by in Seahouses. The property was immaculately clean & tidy and had every possible facility / provision necessary for a very enjoyable stay. The property was a real credit to the owners and we will certainly like to return in the near future.

  • "The property was as described and in a good location 15 minutes walk into Seahouses."

    The biggest negative was only one tea towel for a whole week this is totally inadequate. Also the property would benefit from a mat at the back door to stop freshly mown grass treading into the kitchen. Sorry we had to move the glass coffee table due to the number of bruises we were suffering. (And that was before we had a drink) . And lastly it would have been nice to have some pasta bowls. These comments did not detract from our enjoyable stay.

  • "We had a lovely & much needed week’s break in the stunningly appointed Brindles Manse."

    The property is finished to an extremely high standard yet still maintains a warm, cosy country feel. Despite the current Covid-19 restrictions, we felt extremely safe due to the extra precautions put in place (late check in/early check out, anti-bac hand wash throughout & NHS Track Trace on door). There were some VERY MINOR things we noted but these did not detract from our stay. • Kitchen knives very blunt & there is no steel. • Laundry instructions, for end of you stay, are somewhat confusing. In places it says leave everything in bathroom but elsewhere advises, due to Covid, please put everything in sealed bag provided (1 bin bag only). • A very kind neighbour removes the dustbin the evening before collection & returns it. Interestingly however, bins are placed ‘on the corner as you turn into Brindles Manse’ not ‘on the drive’ eg: where you park your car. • As another guest review had mentioned, we would’ve preferred the kitchen TV in the living room. However, we couldn’t tune in the Smart TV to the wifi (log into Netflix etc) so left it in situ. We had a lovely stay. The beds were extremely comfortable & the shower is amazing! Could hold a dance in the kitchen it’s so big yet it still maintains a warm cosy feel. If you prefer more than Freeview TV, bring a Firestick or a good book! You couldn’t ask for more in a stunning part of the country.

  • "A great property in a super location."

    It had been finished to a high spec with a lot of thought. Considering the current situation with Covid we had expected less so were pleasantly surprised. All feedback is minor as we had a lovely stay and have recommended the property to friends. We would have liked a visitors book to add thanks and comments for the owners. The tv with dvd facilities was in the kitchen rather than the lounge which they may want to rethink / swap. We still played our films so was fine just comfier to sit in the lounge of a evening. The bed in the double room felt small we weren’t sure if it was a three quarter rather than a double. With a 6 foot 4 husband it felt a bit cramped but we managed. Overall just being out of our house in another place after months of lockdown and working from home was wonderful. The beach nearby was gorgeous and we enjoyed walking into Seahouses most days too. Thank you

    We are really please to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Brindles Cottage and that you have recommended us to friends. The visitors book has been removed from the property for the time being due to Covid-19 guidelines. The double bed is a full size double. If you wanted to swap the TV's around then this wouldn't have been an issue, we have left the larger screened TV in the living room as it is bigger. We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

Sitting in the picturesque village of North Sunderland, a short walk to the fishing village of Seahouses, in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Brindles Cottage makes a beautiful base from which to explore the excitement of Northumberland.

A stone-built, semi-detached cottage oozing luxury from its Karndean flooring to its bright and airy skylights, this property is perfectly suited for an escape as a couple or as a family of three.

Enter into the hallway to find a convenient and stylish cloakroom, before moving through into the sitting room where you will be greeted by a luxurious room with neutral hues of cream bringing a contemporary feel to the roam; settle down on one of the sofas in front of the television, whilst the remote control LED fire brings a welcoming warmth to the room.

Step through into the kitchen/diner where the beauty of the property continues; here you can find high gloss units and Silestone quartz surfaces, housing a good range of high quality appliances allowing you to prepare a romantic meal in no time.

Up on the first floor sit the three charming bedrooms, made up of a king size, double and a single all with boasting skylights letting in a plethora of natural light, these lovely sleeping spots are served by the gleaming shower room, boasting a beautiful walk-in shower which lets you indulge in a rejuvenating shower before heading out into the garden for an evening of relaxing.

To the front of the property is a modest lawned area, while the back is home to both a lawn and patio where you can sit out and make the most of the sun when you're not out adventuring.

Conveniently positioned just 100 yards from the cottage is a bus stop, with buses taking you up the coast to Berwick and down the to Alnwick, stopping at all the coastal villages along the way!

If you're feeling adventurous enough to get on your bikes, there are numerous cycling routes easily accessible nearby, with maps in the cottage for you to plan your excursions.

The nearby village of Seahouses is a beautiful spot to base a holiday, offering an attractive harbour to explore, alongside a good selection of shops, inns, pubs and eateries, there's plenty here to keep you entertained.

Alnwick also offers an exquisite castle, as well as an art gallery and gardens to roam, making it an extremely scenic day trip, or simply stroll along the coast and spend time relaxing on one of the area's many beaches with your loved ones amidst.
