  We stayed for 3 nights in Magpie Cottage and it was brilliant.

  Cozy, comfy space, nicely decorated and well equipt. The washer & dryer is just a couple of doors along too if needed. Parking onsite is convenient and it was a lovely touch to have a local parking pass available to use as parking is free in the area if you display the pass. Paul and Jane were lovely hosts, super helpful and always available. It was a brilliant base to explore Northumberland with our pooch, we particularly loved the beaches at Blyth, Whitley Bay & Bamber. Duridge beach was also lovely when you get to it but the parking is on the verges on a small road. It was a small hassle though for the epically long beach and beautiful views. Duridge country park is also worth a visit. Morpeth was really nice too, lots of coffee shops, beautiful Carlisle Park and of course the fabulous Cheese Shop! All round great relaxing trip! The only reason we gave 2 slightly lower comments around facilities and accuracy of listing was just because the shop/pub was listed as 2.8 miles away and we thought we could walk to it and it may be helpful to note that this would be by car rather than walking (unless we missed a trick!) we would have loved to have taken the dog on a walk to the pub to stop for lunch and then walk back again but we could not find any paths to do that. This in no way hindered our experience or took away from the lovely cottage and it’s beautiful surroundings.

  When we booked this break back in January 2024 Raven Cottage was claimed to be all on one level however, there was no mention of the 30 feet step climb from the road to the property.

  There was no mention of the ongoing building work in progress next door that in turn made access to and from the cottage dangerous. These two details would have stopped us booking this cottage in the first place. The rubbish bin and bags were full to overflowing and had obviously been that way for some time.and the advertised 3 spaces for parking were reduced to1 due to storage for next doors building materials. The advertised photo of the front patio was impressive but the side patio area and furniture needed a good clean.It was two weeks prior to our break that we had any hint of the building work or the access steps and we were advised of a discount due to the building work. We paid the full advertised price for this cottage and never did see the discount offered . Due to family health emergency we had to cancel our break and return home after 36 hours, possibly a good move under the circumstances. We were mislead with the advertisement and would have looked elsewhere had we known of the hidden extras. To be fair the interior of the cottage and facilities were exceptional and the views were stunning but we had no intention of sitting indoors for a week.

  The Apple Barn is a little gem.

  It is beautifully and thoughtfully presented with plenty of attention to detail. Even the knives for food preparation were sharp (a first for me in holiday cottages). The bed and bed linen are great. Also there were white towels and grey towels so you always knew you were using your own towel. We would have liked more instructions in the booklet about how to dispose of food waste, dry mixed recycling and general rubbish. We were working from home and there is not a lot of space for two work stations but it is a holiday cottage not a live/work space. The wifi connection was excellent. We would happily come again but if we did we would try to book one of the other two units as they have a better view and access to the garden. Neither were available for our dates which were a last minute booking after another owner had let us down by cancelling our stay. We feel very lucky to have been here in the peace and quiet.

  Lovely quirky cottage (we stayed in pilgrims prospect) beds very comfortable and had all amenities in cottage that we needed including many TV channels. Even a well thought out welcome basket of treats! Cottage was ideally placed for our dog with a fenced garden directly outside our door, although shared with pilgrims chase, but this never caused a problem. Location of cottages is a short stroll along the lane to the expanse of bacton beach which again was perfect for dog walks. The pool area was fantastic with lovely heated pool and showers, and although each cottage is allocated 1 and half hour slot of exclusive use each day, the manager Maxine was very approachable and accommodating to change our pool times to suit us! The added bonus of a small but nicely equipped games room with pool table/air hockey and a football table and video game machines was great for our teenaged son.

  Sea Breeze provided a very comfortable base for our stay in Brixham. We were 2 couples visiting friends nearby, and the entire stay was faultless. From the easy and friendly reservation phone call to leaving the property, it went very smoothly. We unloaded the car at the top of the property and easily found parking just one street away. Inside, the house is lovely, fully equipped with top quality furniture and fittings, very clean and comfortable. Outside, there is a selection of sunny sitting areas. The view from the lounge is amazing. We walked everywhere the throughout the weekend - up to Berry Head, and down into town (eating at the Wine Loft and Beamers), and picking up supplies from the high street and the fish market. I appreciated the communication both by phone and email - it was exceptional. Thank you for a lovely, memorable stay.
