Locatie perfect. Vlakbij strand en lange afstandspad naar Seaham. Bedden goed en goed warm te stoken.

Het is er niet schoon. De bedkussens hebben oude bloedvlekken, idem voor de matrasbedekking, de pedaalemmer is echt vies, de vloer..... De deur klemt heel erg. Het onderste slot kreeg ik niet voor elkaar. Ook het slot op de achterdeur hapert. Geen enkele instructie voor gebruik douche ( in Holland kennen we dit systeem niet). Geen enkele infon over supermarkt, toegang naar strand, buslijn, o.i.d.

The property is walking distance to Ryhope beach and a very short drive to Seaham. There are plenty of supermarkets in close driving distance too, and close to main roads to Newcastle. The cottage has plenty of space for two and has adequate facilities for a short or long stay. The bin situation has improved from our last visit so we could actually deal with the rubbish this time.

This is our second stay so we were not put off enough to not stay again last time, however we were disappointed that since our visit 9 months ago, very little has changed. For example the shower curtain is the exact same as before, which as you can imagine after 9 months is rather dirty. Similarly, kitchen utensils have not been replaced in that time including ones that were broken when we came 9 months ago. The property was fairly clean on arrival although care wasn’t taken to clean under things i.e. tables and the bed linen did have stains/blood on. As I said in my last review, the place has so much potential and could be so lovely with a bit of attention and time. Unfortunately, the neighbours have also acquired a dog since our last visit and were being very irresponsible in letting it bark for hours at night time. Their solution was to turn their TV up very loud to compete with the dog, rather than trying to support the dog. On the second night in particular, the dog barked for 4 hours straight from 10pm to 2am. It got to the point that I had to sleep on the sofa in the next room and put a fan noise on my phone to drown it out. Although this is not the fault of the property owners, it has deterred us from staying again sadly.

Had everything you needed for a short stay.

Smell musty. Rear step high to outside bins Bins overflowing Loose brass colored strip on doorstep.

Lovely village location,,very nice restaurant nearby. Would stay here again if updated.

In need of lots of TLC but read that in the reviews from earlier on in the year so no change there, lovely place that could be made better, the strong smell of weed from next door was uninvited.

Decent kitchen with all you need

Not clean, walls, floors, doors radiators grimy. Stained cushions and make up on pillowcase. Bizarre purple bottom sheet. Smelly hard towels

Good location & excellent value for money. A very lucky find 👍

Although property was comfortable & clean,it could do with a bit of TLC.

That the owners were u understanding when I pointed out the cleaners did not clean the property properly.. As I spoke to them when I couldn't get into the property as I didn't look on booking for code properly.

The bedroom was large....double and single bed. The kitchen was well equipped.

Great location for exploring local area. Quite neighborhood.

Could do with a few small touches to greatly improve accommodation, e.g only one mirror in the whole place, adding a mirror in the bedroom would make hair drying a lot easier. Replace fridge which is always iced up in the freezer.
