Lovely holiday home, really good location a few minutes walk from the beach. Thank you!
29/07/2024
Lovely property to be able to explore the Northumberland coast. Only a 5 minute walk and you are into Seahouses centre. Well decorated property. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Knus huis, leuke aankleding.<br/>3 toiletten en 2 badkamers.<br/>Op loopafstand van de zee, echt uniek. Voldoende speelgelegenheid om te badmintonnen of frisbeeën.<br/><br/>De 'eetkamer' is functioneel, maar erg klein. <br/>Ik voelde me er thuis.<br/>De tuin heeft wat aandacht nodig.

Location<br/><br/>There was an unusual smell which we could not get rid of and floors were dirty and cups dirty as well
02/07/2024
A great find and perfect location. Everything we needed, comfortable beds, pleasant lounge and well equipped kitchen. We hope to return. Thank you

The location was beautiful ? plenty to do in surrounding areas also.<br/><br/>The floors were very dirty in the property with no mop and bucket to wash them. Pillows very flat and needed extra for a good night's sleep.
28/06/2024
Location was brilliant<br/><br/>The property could do with a little TLC, 2 of the 3 toilets were broken and would not flush on arrival, the owners did manage to get a plumber to repair during our visit.

We enjoyed a clean and comfortable stay at the Beachcombers Rest. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook, eat and clean. Great, quiet location with easy walking to the centre of Seahouses which has several restaurants, pubs and takeaways. A short drive to many attractions, including Bamburgh and the Holy Isle, as well as beautiful beaches.<br/>The patio/garden area was a bit of a let down, especially as we had lovely weather for sitting out. It was minimal but could be lovely with a bit of care.<br/>Expect to pay at least another £10 for "admin" to get your deposit back, or £25 for an indemnity policy! Airbnb are trying to be transparent at the booking stage for total cost but this is a cheeky little add on by Host and Stay.

The property is really well presented, well equipped and in a lovely part of the country.

Location<br/><br/>Toilet was not working patio doors could not open ( fire hazard) shower very very low pressure report toilet and patio ( patio had been reported by other people did get advise how to fix we are not there to fix faults

The house itself is lovely and in the perfect location for places like Alnwick, Bamborough, Lindisfarne etc. The beaches in this area are stunning and you can walk for miles. <br/>The house was comfy, especially the beds and its in a lovely quiet street, with easy access straight onto the coastal path and just a few mins walk to seahouses harbour, meaning you can leave the car at the house if you are going to the Farnes or into the village or for a walk on the beach.<br/>There were a few issues, mainly in terms of the cleaning of the kitchen, but the patio door was also stuck. This meant we couldnt use the garden, which was disappointing as the weather was perfect to enjoy breakfast or an evening drink in the garden, but sadly that couldnt happen. <br/>All issues reported to Host and Stay so hopefully they will be fixed as it really is a lovely place to stay. <br/>It does seem strange that you book through airbnb, but then host and stay offer you discounts to book directly with them next time.

Shower, couldn’t get it warm enough. Sofa uncomfortable, seats too wide for shorter people
25/04/2024
The location, the open land access at the end of the culd de sac, was fab for a quick dog walk and also access to the coastline so you could be at the harbour in 10 minutes. The bed was very comfy and bags of hot water.<br/><br/>Nothing
20/04/2024
Modern house a short coastal walk into town about 10 mins away. 2 bath/shower rooms and downstairs loo makes it good choice for 2 couples<br/><br/>2nd twin bedroom did not have a bedside cabinet or light but we managed to sort from items in the property

Lovely cottage and location was perfect for walking the dogs to the beach!
03/01/2024
we absolutely loved our stay here. All the amenities where superb (the lining especially ?) the place has a lovely homely vibe. Close to shops and pubs walking distant. <br/>The only issue I have with host & stay, is they put another 10£ service charge on. Which you have to pay after you have booked unknowingly.

Location<br/><br/>Property was a freezing cold when we arrived . Light on the stairs wasn’t working and the property smelled of dog or cigarette smoke, not sure what is was

Immediately felt uneasy about the stay when we were hit with a large cleaning fee & an unexpected request for a deposit after the booking had been accepted. <br/>We decided to go ahead & the place was easy enough to find. But when we opened the door there was a strong smell of stale cigarette smoke throughout the entire house. <br/>As the sun set, we searched for the light switch & flicked it on. But there was no power! We tried the fuse box, normal. So we phoned the management company who directed us to a meter outside which read ‘emergency credit’. We pushed the button & fortunately, the meter got topped up for the remainder of our stay. <br/>Anyway, the house needs proper maintenance. The downstairs toilet runs. The upstairs toilet handle is very loose. The dripping & clicking from the bathroom kept me from sleeping & there was dog poo in the back garden. <br/>All in all, a disappointing stay made worse by the cleaners arriving 20 minutes early, waiting on the drive & making us feel awks AF.

Beachcombers is indeed a clean, comfortable, well-equipped house in a lovely position where you can easily walk into town and to the shore. The owners have furnished the house very thoughtfully. 10/10.<br/><br/>We were greatly disappointed by the pervasive smell of cigarette smoke in the house. We did complain but no one came to call. Also, the thermostat on the shower did not work and the water ran too hot. <br/>And surely the Housekeeping team should notice that the toilet flush in the bathroom was not functioning - when cleaning the place? A shame the house is not well maintained. <br/>The rubbish outside was overflowing. <br/>In addition, it was a shock to have paid and then be presented with a bill of 25 pounds for extra insurance or a deposit of 250 pounds!! Booking.com used to say the charges were up front. Later, I did see this deposit mentioned in the last paragraph for the description of the property. Not to be repeated by us.

All the little touches, especially the doggy accents.<br/><br/>Nothing.
04/10/2023
The bedrooms were very nice, kitchen and lounge fine, location fine.<br/><br/>We were looking forward to using the bath, but the water in the bathroom was not hot enough, water in the shower fine. <br/>The heating seemed only to come on at certain intervals and was not on in the evenings, the front panel on the boiler was off , looked like someone had been working on it. Did not like having to pay an amount to avoid leaving a deposit to in case there were damages "Damage waiver £25" surely your insurance covers this ?We never have paid this before with Bookings.com.

Fabulous location. Two minutes walk from the beach. <br/>House has everything you need in it and parking outside. Quiet location
17/09/2023
Great house well equipped and very clean and tidy and comfortable. Recommended.
14/09/2023
Excellent location, great house very well kept & immaculate in all ways except one!<br/><br/>From the moment we opened the front door we could smell cigarette smoke even after leaving windows & doors open it remained. Every item of our clothing smelt of smoke by the time we left totally unacceptable. I have to admit to a mistake I missed the details around damage wavers & felt frustrated when I realised I had to pay an additional £260, refundable minus £10 in 14 days or £25 total for a 2 nt stay & provide my personal information to a company I've never heard of subject to an inspection after my stay I was disappointed to be put in this position when I booked with booking.com I expect their T&Cs not host & stay whom I had never heard of & frankly I will never stay with again!

Glorious part of the world for a weekend break A very comfortable house located only a short scenic walk from the harbour shops and several charming pubs We enjoyed our stay very much We had everything we needed including TV a super big fridge a washing machine and Alexa ! One thing though watch out for very hot water in the shower Maybe the temperature control is not working properly ? Also a difficult to open sliding door into the nice out door garden space Overall a great house in a very lovely part of the world no doubt of that<br/><br/>just as above mad I know but the shower water was a bit too hot with no means of control and the difficult sliding door Or was that just us ? ?

Very good, lovely area. Hose very nice, comfortable and clean. Just a couple of points: mirror would be helpful in second bedroom and lamp. Also lamp in main sitting room. Otherwise very good . Thankyou
23/08/2023
Beautiful location. Walkable to beach, town, restaurants, shops etc. House itself is lovely, perfect for our family, restful, spacious.<br/>Would definitely return. Thank you
20/08/2023
Good location. Nice little house. Not far from Banbrough Castle, Lindisfarne, etc.<br/><br/>The house smelt of smoke, even after airing. Not sure if this is cleaners smoking, previous visitors or owners. But it wasn't very pleasant.
30/07/2023
Great location, well equipped house with private parking and outdoor space

Fantastic location to walk to Beadnell and Bamburgh. Lovely and peaceful. Really enjoyed the boat trip to see puffins and seals on the Farne islands.
16/07/2023
Nice place, a few minutes walk from the harbour, shops and pubs. Can reach other destinations such as Alnwick, Bamborough etc easily by car or bus. Good beaches and walking nearby.
