Bookings and Prices

Our Prices

How to work out the prices for each property

We have several categories of properties (Group A - Group G) plus 3 categories for Coastal Retreats @ The Viking (Group X, Y, Z). The prices are set according to the size, location, facilities of the property and how we rate the property in terms of style, design and gorgeousness!. These prices may change from time to time.

We have 5 categories of prices (Low, Mid, High, Peak and Xmas/New Year).

We offer short breaks throughout the year.

If you have stayed with us before and we have a booking made under your name, we can offer you a 5% discount off all of our prices for bookings of 7 nights or more. Please call for a special code if you wish to make your booking online - this code will automatically give you your return guest discount. We're afraid we cannot give this discount in retrospect if you have made an online booking and not used the return guest code

Please contact us anytime for clarification of any of this information and we can confirm the price over the phone or in an e-mail Tel 0191 2851272 or e-mail us at info@coastalretreats.co.uk.

Please note our prices can change from time to time. The price quoted at the time of bookings is the price you will pay, even if we decide to increase/decrease the price of the holiday in the meantime.

Prices

Our prices are fully inclusive, so you won’t be asked to take any meter readings or to bring your own sheets! As five star homes, our prices include everything. On top of this, you’ll find the cottages to be exceptionally well equipped, so you won’t have to bring the kitchen sink!

The prices include all fuel, some logs for the fire (if your cottage has a log burner), bed linen and duvets, towels, afternoon tea tray with Northumbrian cake, lovely designer toiletries, complimentary copy of ‘Living North’ magazine and a decent bottle of wine chilling in the fridge. You are also invited as our guests, to use the facilities at the new private Ocean Club in Seahouses. At a specially reduced rate (£6 per adult, £3 per child, babies under 2 have free admission and there is free parking) you can use the pool, children’s pool, gym, sauna, hot tub and café at any time of day. Ideal as a wet weather retreat or as a place to chill out after a day on the beach! As Coastal Retreats guests you will also be entitled to specially negotiated beauty treatment packages - superb deals at very reasonable prices. For our guests staying at our Viking apartments in Seahouses (Bluegrass, Pampas or Feathergrass, there is free unlimited access to the Ocean Club.

Payments

We accept credit and debit card payments over the phone! Alternatively, we can take credit card payments on line. We're sorry but we no longer accept cheques. We do levy a 3% surcharge on credit card bookings and Maestro debit cards registered outside of the UK (4% for American Express transactions) in order to cover the charges imposed on us by the credit card companies but THERE IS CURRENTLY NO CHARGE FOR UK REGISTERED DEBIT CARD PAYMENTS

Short Breaks

Although most of our guests do book for a full week, increasingly we are starting to see an increase in the number of guests booking short breaks with us. Short breaks can either start on a Friday and finish on a Monday or start on a Monday and finish on a Friday . Weekend and mid week breaks are priced the same.

When making a booking with us, the short breaks must start on either the Friday or a Monday. Arrival time is normally 4.30pm and departure time is around 10am. However, we try to be as flexible as possible and will try to give you as late a time to check out as is convenient to our cleaning teams. For the Monday departures, we can normally arrange a late morning or lunchtime check out.

For unusual dates and number of nights, let us know your requirements and we will try to help you. Out of season, we may be able to be a bit more flexible

Optional extras for children

High chair (no charge)	£0.00
Stairgate (no charge)	£0.00
Travel cot (no charge)	£0.00

Changeover days

Our changeover days are normally Fridays and Mondays. We are happy to take weekly bookings starting and finishing on a Monday as well as a Friday. The Monday changeovers are becoming increasingly popular. Our online booking system will allow you to make a weekly booking starting on either a Friday or a Monday.
