Jun 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Property to Explore Northumberland This property is just as described. It has great views over the birding sanctuary. While it is a bit out of town, it is close enough to explore this coast easily and have a quiet place to relax in between excursions. There is a lift to the first floor where the apartment is and there are stairs inside the apartment to the living and kitchen area. The small bathroom has a shower and the larger bathroom has a tub. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others. ##### Carolyn B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### johnnytmalice G. Jan 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Potentially lovely but fell short in lots of unnecessary ways The apartment is charming, atop the watchtower in a restored mill, & the main living-room/kitchen is lovely, with sloping ceilings, dormer windows & huge fridge & plenty of seating. The bedrooms are pleasant, especially the main one, with lovely views across the bay to Holy Island. The kitchen is reasonably well-stocked. However, no-one bothered to turn on the heating before we arrived (nor leave any sort of welcome tray, never mind anything Xmassy) so we arrived to stone-coldness. We had to fiddle with the heating to discover the heaters in 2 bedrooms didn't work properly/at all; the dishwasher was broken down (seal had fallen off); the bathroom window handle had fallen off so it couldn't be closed; both toilets 'rushed' so one had to lift off the lids & fiddle about to close them; the cooker extractor fan & light didn't work. This created a depressing 'owners don't care' feeling, set up by the lack of a welcome of any sort. A sign where to leave rubbish was almost impossible to understand - again, carelessness. Only 2 rolls of the most meagre 'budget' toilet paper were provided. All rather disheartening & I found myself wasting day after day messaging the agents (for fear of being blamed for things breaking down). They eventually got fixed (bar the cooker) but that was a week into our 11 days. So hopefully the owners will spend a few hundred quid & sort all that out. Because as I say it's potentially really charming - & in summer most of those things would matter less. ##### johnnytmalice G. Stayed 11 nights in Dec 2024
