  Das Cottage ist wunderbar ruhig, friedlich und absolut idyllisch inmitten von duftenden Schafswiesen gelegen. Es ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und absolut sauber - einfach perfekt! Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Bei unserer Ankunft war bereits Feuerholz im Ofen drapiert, wir wurden mit einer Flasche Wein und Shortbread begrüßt. Die Besitzerin selbst war bei unserer Ankunft nicht persönlich da, was aber überhaupt kein Problem war, weil wir eine genaue Wegbeschreibung, Telefonnummern usw. vorab bekommen haben. Alle wichtigen Informationen, Kontaktmöglichkeiten, Hinweise und nützliche Tipps zum Aufenthalt waren zudem aufgeschrieben und an einer Pinnwand im Cottage zu finden. Die Besitzerin hat uns ein paar Tage später kurz besucht, um zu sehen, ob alles in Ordnung ist und wir zurecht kommen - eine sehr herzliche Begegnung! Wir haben jede einzelne Sekunde unseres Aufenthalts genossen und es hätte schöner nicht sein können! Hinter dem Haus gibt eine Möglichkeit draußen zu sitzen und die Aussicht und Natur zu genießen. Das steile Stück bergauf ist asphaltiert und war daher gar kein Problem für einen normalen PKW (zumindest nicht im Sommer), das letzte Stück Weg ist unbefestigt, aber in gutem Zustand - ebenfalls kein Problem. Es sind daher insgesamt - trotz der etwas abgelegenen Lage - nur wenige Minuten Fahrtzeit bis in den hübschen Ort Grantown-on-Spey, wo man alles Wichtige findet (sehr freundliche Touristeninformation, Lebensmittelgeschäfte, Souvenirläden, Restaurants...). Vom Cottage aus hat man eine wunderbare Aussicht und kann direkt von dort aus Spaziergänge unternehmen - auch ohne das Auto bewegen zu müssen. Andererseits lassen sich zum Wandern die Cairngorms, z.B. um Aviemore herum, sehr gut erreichen mit dem Auto. Wir waren sehr traurig bei der Abreise und wären am liebsten dort geblieben! Wir hoffen, dass wir wiederkommen dürfen! Es war ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt! Vielen herzlichen Dank!

  Lovely property in a great location, easy access- walking distance to some of the best beaches in Northumberland and the best crab sandwiches at the Ship Inn. The property was large and comfortable, great built in oven and microwave and fabulous to have a gas hob. Plenty of plates/cutlery/glasses (perhaps too much, difficult to keep track of cleanliness with so much stuff available). The property was lovely and warm and very quiet. The only thing that let the property down was the cleanliness. The floors needed a good clean, thick dust in the corners and cobwebs hanging from the walls in the main bedroom. The bathroom was disappointing, black mould around the bath and shower door. I had to clean the shower head before we could use the shower to remove all the mould. The bottom of the shower door is missing allowing water to escape all over the floor making it very slippery. We booked this cottage for the enclosed garden for our dog. Unfortunately the grass was so long she couldn’t use it and we had to take her on the village green out the front for her to toilet. The grass was cut on the Thursday, far too late as we left on Saturday.

  “We have been to Sheringham on holiday many times, but this was our first stay at the Sidings. What a delight! We have all expressed a wish to return here. It was comfortable, well equipped for self catering, and we all became train spotters during the week with the novelty of having the trains literally at the end of the garden. We chose a bungalow as we were bringing a wheelchair this time, and it was very suitable for a chair and walker. The location is straightforward for accessing the town and the sea front, and once we’d worked out the dropped kerbs in town, we became quite expert, as this was our first go at wheelchair manoeuvring as well! We only really paid attention to the garage two doors down at the end of the week, but it has a very handy supermarket in there with all the things you run out of for convenience. The property is well maintained and comes with useful things like the trinket trays by the bed to drop rings and watches in overnight. Plenty of plates,mugs and cutlery too. All in all, we were very pleased with this accommodation and are looking to return soon.”

  We had and excellent stay in Marina View Townhouse. Every you could need for your stay is in this property, including a few fun things like an Xbox and a popcorn maker! There's plenty of mugs and plates and cutlery so some can be in the dishwasher while there are still some left for another cup of tea! All appliances are high quality. Even the cooks knives are sharp and the frying pan still had a non-stick coating (2 things that even a great property usually struggle with). We took our cat, so she wasn't impressed with the dog treats in the welcome pack! However as she is an indoor cat at home, she loved going out into the enclosed courtyard. Parking can be awkward at times and there's not much storage in the kitchen for store cupboard food. The management service was excellent. The back door lock broke. A maintenance person came the same day, at a convenient time for us, to make the property secure. If you plan on visiting Weymouth,.this is a great place to stay.
