  Was worried about small fence at end of garden .

  .its quite low and thank goodness our dog is not the type to jump fences cos road other side of fence. Storage heaters don't work but plug in heaters do. Rust on side of Bath. Stairs quite dodgy not wide enough for over 4 feet size feet.have to walk down 1 at a time and hold on. Back door a pain cos have to slam door more than once to close and lock it. Bad dust behind bedroom mirror. I took pictures. Bread crumbs left in breadbin. Fridge had a bad smell when we 1st opened door.freezer needs cleaning inside. 1spot light in kitchen not working but others ok. Cut grass left in garden..saw other visters in book complain cos grass comes into cottage when walked on.same with us. Cottage was freezing mostly due to cold weather. No slip mat in Bath. No coffee and tea and sugar left as a greeting only a packet of biscuits and a bottle of milk. We had to bag up dirty washing for them and hoover all round for our money we payed. A step upto kitchen from frontroom carpet not mark out as trip hazard. Locks on b.room wardrobe hard to turn same as cupboard in frontroom. If you have bad hands not good. Having said all this we did enjoy our stay because we make the most of it.but think this one not upto your usual standards for visters.but think you may need to look around cottage to check for yourselves.thank you very much.

  The property was perfect, although a little difficult to find at first, a passerby pointed me in right direction.

  Everything in the property was great quality, and perfect for one person or a couple. There were nice touches like bread, milk and butter, biscuits etc left. I was confused that there was a two ringed cooker but no pots, or maybe I missed them? It did have a full sized oven and microwave so not really an issue. There was a little seating area outside for eating, or enjoying a morning cuppa. The bed was very comfy, the only thing I didnt like was that there was nothing to open the windows with and I was too short to open them or close the blinds, it was a very warm week so would have been good to get some air. I also was unsure what to do with the rubbish, I didn't see anywhere to empty the bin? The village of Lesbury is beautiful, has a lovely pub, a welcoming local shop (steak pie was amazing) and is in very close proximity to Alnmouth train station and the X18/20 bus stop was just next to property. There is also a Morrisons next to the bus station in Alnwick for supplies. There are loads of lovely walking routes and cycle paths, only a 15/20 mins walk into Alnmouth which has a beautiful beach and it's a haven for bird watching. I would definitely recommend Warkworth Castle which is only 4 miles away. I loved the area and will be back again in the near future, possibly with friends.

  The house was lovely and as described.

  However, there were a number of issues. We could not check in until 4pm by which time it was dark - we drove past the property 3 times before we found it. You could easily put a clearer sign outside and some lighting. Having failed to find it I phoned both numbers given at exactly 5pm but nobody answered. Not helpful! The property was unpleasantly cold on arrival and did not heat up until late in the evening. The hot water was only tepid. We eventually reported this and it was fixed quickly after we raised the issue. The property looked well cleaned but there was a used pair of underpants under one of the beds in the twin room and twice I found a slug in the bathroom of the double room. Most comments in the visitors book mentioned a welcome pack - we didn’t even get a carton of milk and did not feel welcomed. The owner only lived next door and said he hadn’t realised we were arriving on the day we did. In fact he rang the agents to say no one had arrived despite the fact our car was parked outside and we had arrived the previous evening. We had a lovely week in Alnmouth and the house was actually great - it was just not a very welcoming start.

  Great little cottage tucked away near the coast and the little town of Alnmouth.

  Well equipped (bonus points for a good sized teapot!!) and clean with comfy beds, plenty of room downstairs and in the enclosed garden (great for the dog) the cottage was ideally situated to explore coastal and inland attractions as well as not being too far from amenities. The low beams could be an issue for some, although the signs were helpful reminders. The armchairs/settee are quite deep and perhaps the addition of some colourful cushions would make it more homely and comfy. The weather was a bit mixed and quite cool on arrival so sadly we needed some heating but once we'd worked out the storage heaters it was very cosy. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the area is beautiful.

  Lovely cottage, spacious rooms.

  Very clean. Everything worked and was in good condition - appliances etc. Amazing garden - large and enclosed, so perfect for children. We stayed with our baby and toddler and it was ideal, everything we needed and a very comfortable cottage. Lovely touches on arrival - milk in the fridge and shortbread biscuits left for us. Also beautiful Emma Bridgewater crockery which was a lovely surprise. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Owner really helpful - kettle broke one evening and she brought a new one round straightaway. Friendly neighbours too. We had a lovely week here and will definitely be back. Can’t recommend it enough! Thank you very much
