The sea view from upstairs is great. Very good for coastal walks.

Facilities were excellent and it was a great base from which to explore the delights of Northumbria, Embleton, Alnmouth, Alnwick, Dunstanborough Castle and Warkworth to name a few. TV a little complicated to work and connection fees associated with some of the more popular channels (Amazon Prime and Netflix for example), but other than that a lovely, warm and comfortable place to stay.

Very clean and well kitted out. We loved being able to walk to the beach- the house is nice and private but in easy reach of everything. We would love to come back to Summer Rose soon!
