• "Second time this year staying in this lovely cottage."

  Perfect for our mini break, and a downstairs bedroom and shower for my disabled elderly parents. Perfect spot for Amble Harbour as only a few minutes walk and there is a little cove over the sand dunes seconds away from the house. Watched the Christmas light switch on and the parade in Amble, such an amazing friendly community ❤️

• "Cottage has a lot of internal steps which are a potential trip hazard Lighting is extremely bright and would benefit from dimmer switches."

  Bath very high and difficult to get into for a shower. A grab handle would be useful Huge mound of earth outside conservatory completely blocks view when seated....

  Sorry it wasn’t too your liking Most guests love the property The huge mound of earth you refer to are the natural sandunes which sadly we can do nothing about. Property Owner

• "Location is excellent."

  View across to the harbour in the sun room is the outstanding feature. Easy walking to town and beach. Family friendly.

• "This house is in a lovely location and only a short walk to Amble."

  The main selling point is definitely the sea views which are absolutely beautiful and you could sit for hours looking out. The house is a really good size, lovely bedrooms and lots of space. Unfortunately the cleanliness of this house really let it down. A lot of the reviews and even the guest book said it was spotless but we didn't find this. The floor in the sun room had lots of dog hairs, some in clumps, which was really unpleasant especially as my 15 month old was on the floor playing with his toys which were then getting lots of hair on them. There was also a sticky patch on the floor which had a clump of hair stuck to it so clearly hadn't been cleaned. The bath mats in the two bathrooms were mouldy and the downstairs one had lots of hair tangled around it. There were also hairs on the downstairs bathroom floor and in the shower. This is so disappointing as other than that, it would have been really wonderful. I hope this feedback helps you improve the cleanliness for guests in the future. Thank you.

• "A beautiful well equipped cottage."

  Spotlessly clean, a credit to your cleaning team. We have booked again for next year. (Just to inform you, there were several dog poos left in the garden from the previous occupants which we cleaned up. Just a worry when children are playing in the garden.)

• "The cottage surpassed expectations."

  Very clean and comfortable. The sunroom is a bonus with views out to sea. Perfectly located for many places to visit within 30-45min drive. The dunes alongside the cottage provided quiet early morning/evening strolls, listening to oystercatchers. Highly recommended.

• "Very clean and comfortable."

  Third visit to Island view. Only place we’ve stayed with no welcome pack. Small thing and didn’t spoil our stay but had to go out again to get milk after a traffic heavy journey. Simply some milk in the fridge would be a bonus. Otherwise excellent facilities

• "We had a lovely week at island view."

  The improvements have made a big difference to the property, making it more comfortable. It is a great base for getting around and about. We love the sun room just relaxing and watching the sea. The weather was good to us and managed to visit Almouth beach daily with Flash. Thank you for a lovely stay. Stephen Angela and Flash

  Lovely cottage, really enjoyed the sun room only thing to feed back was the quality of the pillows, felt really cheap and hard

  Thanks for the feedback and I’m sorry you didn’t find the pillows comfortable They are all new and ‘hotel quality’ and sadly not cheap but I will take a look. To be fair I’ve never slept on them so appreciate your feedback Property Owner

  I know the cleaners have a lot to do but I ended up cleaning out the cutlery drawers and putting everything through the dishwasher as full of crumbs, the grill was left dirty and when I went to clean the toilets accidentally knocked over the brush holder and it was full of brown water

  I’m very sorry to hear your feedback on the cleaning. You should not have to be doing that on your holiday. The cleaning is normally to an exceptionally high standard and so I do not know what has happened here. I will speak to the cleaners and make sure they are checking these things Thanks for your feedback. Please accept our apologies The owners Property Owner

• "We’ve been visiting the property for a few years and are impressed with the refurbishment carried out by the new owners."

  Small niggles such as lack of seating on the decking could be rectified quite easily but it was an issue for us when all 7 wished to socialise and enjoy the view from the rear garden. However, all in all, a lovely, comfortable, clean and well equipped house with spectacular views.

  Thanks for your feedback and glad you liked the refurbishment. Apologies that there was not enough outside seating. We had ordered 2 new benches but only one has been delivered and we are still awaiting the second. The old ones had rotted! I’m now pleased to report that the 2 new benches are in situ !

• "In general an excellent holiday property with everything needed for our party of seven."

  Unfortunately we had issues with the downstairs bathroom drainage even though the guidance on useage was adhered to. This did not get resolved before the end of our stay leaving the second bathroom unusable. Overall a lovely property and superb location ! Would definitely stay again.

  Thank you for your feedback and I can only apologise about the issues with the toilet. Unfortunately the previous guests didn’t follow the guidelines and had been flushing nappies down the toilet which blocked the drain Property Owner

• "This was our 2nd visit to this cottage."

  Although we enjoyed the first visit in February, since the refurbishment with all new furnishings, carpets etc it is a truly wonderful , comfortable and really special place to stay. The location is fabulous within a 2 min walk from a beach where you can collect sea glass, only 10 min walk into Amble and you can just stay in and enjoy the changing seascape in the sun room. Everything provided was new , the towels were a bonus and a great size too. New benches were also delivered while we were there adding even more comfort to the outdoor deck. 5 stars given and well deserved for this property. Will have to save up to return next year.

  Thank you so much for your feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. We have finally got the cottage as we would have wanted it and are now proud owners of somewhere that we ourselves would be delighted to stay Property Owner

  The view is totally fantastic for watching the sea and the upgrade in the house itself makes it a five star cottage.

  Very good for dogs, with coastal walks from the house, an Amble centre a pleasant walk away. We are highly likely to book again.

• "The house was in a fantastic location and could be a really lovely property, but it was very tried and could do with a proper deep clean - there was cobwebs and dust everywhere."

  Also there was building work taking place directly opposite the house and we feel it would have been considerate to give guests the heads up on this - particularly as it was noisy at times and the builders would randomly appear on the property using the outside water tap etc.

  Thanks for the feedback. You will be pleased to know that the house has now had a full upgrade at our first opportunity given the bookings. The house is now lovely and the building work that you should have been made aware of over the road is now completed. Hope you will revisit and see for yourself the improvements Property Owner
