Reviews

Had a lovely stay, great location

Mrs D,

The cottage was fitted out to a very high standard and was extremely comfortable. In a location where parking can sometimes be difficult, the parking was also good.

Mrs L,

We had a very relaxing week in the cottage. The team were very responsive and provide a great service. The location is outstanding and unique.

Mrs I,

Overall the cottage was lovely. It was cosy, comfortable, beautifully decorated and in a great location. We missed having a teapot and milk jug available to use. We had taken Nespresso pods for the coffee machine, only to find they were the wrong ones. I think the information on your website should make it clear that the coffee machine doesn't use regular Nespresso pods, as it's impossible to buy any others locally. We had to go and buy ground coffee for the cafetiere instead. As for the price; we regularly rent cottages of a similar standard or larger in Norfolk, but pay £200-£300 less for a weekend. The prices around Northumberland are much higher than we would expect them to be.

Mrs Kay E,

We've stayed at number 7 before - this time we stayed at number 8 - we were disappointed not to have a welcome hamper! We were concerned about the standard of repair/security to the windows throughout the cottage - the window hinge in the bathroom was broken and it was not possible to secure the window at all - none of the windows had any kind of lock or limiter on them - therefore it was not possible to have the windows open at night and obviously the cottage was not/is not very secure!

Ms Michele M,

Excellent accommodation all to a very high standard.

Mrs Rebecca N,

The cottage was exceptional. We look forward to returning next year.

Mrs Kim R,

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped, great location for strolls along the beach, and exploring the surrounding area. This is the second time we have stayed at Armstrong Cottages and the third time we've been to this area and would highly recommend it as a holiday destination if your looking to unwind and enjoy good food and breath taking coastal walks.
