So enjoyed our stay here. Lovely clean, spacious and well equipped property. Excellent quiet location whilst being well placed to easily visit the surrounding coast and countryside. Very comfortable beds, super hot water and efficient heating. Secure back garden was a real bonus for the dogs. Would certainly stay here again.

Overall this property was really nice to stay in, very quiet and peaceful location with great views of the sunset over the fields. Easy access to the local beaches and towns. Good facilities and enclosed, safe garden for dogs. Only 1 downside was the very creaky stairs. Unfortunately if you are a light sleeper you hear anyone using them at night!

The property is fantastic and really well appointed. There was an oven glove missing, but a quick trip to Morrisons solved that. Great location, about 10 mins from Alnwick and only a few minutes from a number of beaches. The property was immaculate on the inside, but sadly previous guest(s) had clearly let their dog use the entire garden as a toiRead morelet, and I used 6 bags cleaning up after a dog which wasn't even ours. I don't think it should fall to staff to clean up, which is why I haven't marked it down, but it was definitely the dirtiest garden I've stayed in by far. We would certainly come back to this property, however we will not be booking through Original Cottages due to really poor service after we had left. We left 8am Saturday, and after we got home, we realised we must have left our spare car key fob behind in one of the kitchen drawers. As our car is keyless, you're support to report it to the police, however we knew the cleaners would (or should) still be there. I contacted Original Cottages and explained the situation. Was advised that they would contact the cleaning agency and call me back. No-one phoned and when I called back, I was told by another member of staff that my details had not been passed on and the cleaners would have left by now. They advised that they had forwarded my details on and assured me that someone would call me back, porbably the day after. No-one phoned, and we really needed to know whether or not we could get our keys back. I called again, was told that it wasn't possible to check the property until the end of next week. I explained why it was urgent and that this completely went against what i had been told by two other members of staff. The lady I spoke to said she would make a note and flag it up as urgent as that someone would be in touch within a couple of days - I'm still waiting. Obviously the fact we left the keys was completely our fault, but the way Original Cottages have handled this has been poor to say the least. All it would have taken would have been to contact the cleaning agency whilst they were presumably still at the property, pass on our details so we could arrange for them to be returned. I highly recommend the property, but not the company Hide

The house is very well laid out and has a spacious feel to it. It is lovely and light. Very well furnished and equipped. The garden is fully enclosed and safe for dogs - plenty of outdoor space. It is well positioned for driving to various wonderful beaches, the town of Alnwick, and all of the north-eastern part. It is well situated for going Read moreout and about. Lindisfarne is only a half hour drive away, as is the National Trust property of Cragside - both worth a visit. We enjoyed staying in the house and would recommend it. Hide
