Beautiful location and lovely cottage but needs a bit TLC. Fresh coat of paint on stairs new microwave rusty and minor things like shabby oven gloves. Overall, though, a beautiful place. Our third visit and wont be our last. Swimming passes for Beau Monde much appreciated. First class facility.

We've had a lovely, comfortable stay at Grey Seal Cottage. There was plenty of space for four of us and the cottage is well equipped. The dogs loved the garden and their daily walks on the beach. We saw some beautiful sunsets from the cottage and it was wonderful to have so much peace and quiet. Can definitely recommend it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this excellent, cosy cottage. The position is fantastic, right on the Coastal Path, with amazing views of the bay. Will certainly be coming back.

Absolutely loved staying here. Such a beautiful place, the beach is very accessible and clear walkways. Very comfortable cottage with plenty of space. The enclosed garden was great for the dog and the hamper was very much appreciated. Hot tub is well positioned to give you privacy and out the wind. We will definitely be back.

The property was as described in the most fantastic spot. Clearly the property is well used and as such has become in need of a little cosmetic maintenance. The kitchen particularly the appliances require looking at, squeaking floorboards in the upstairs bedrooms, toilet seats were loose, the leather sofa seats had all collapsed and werent comfy in the lounge. Pillows werent great in the bedrooms, door onto the garden was still and needs adjustingthere are a lot of other minor things that are easy fixes to make this property fantastic

Location was ideal & as portrayed but the accommodation was rundown and basic with no frills. The hot tub was extra and paid for with the booking but it did not reach correct temperature for over 24 hours so although paid for 3 days hire of hot tub use was actually only one evening and early morning. Advertised as dog friendly but not even a dog drinking dish provided. We arrived at 3.35 and were informed by a male who refused to identify himself that we could use the public beach until 4pm exactly.

The cottage location was excellent straight onto the beach! Ideal for walking our dog. Coastal views & path to Bamburgh & beyond. Spacious & roomy accommodation with more facilities than we needed. The maintenance team were quick to respond to a couple of minor issues. Would definitely stay again!

The property was excellent location, breathtaking views across Budle Bay. The accommodation was clean and well equipped to cater for all the occasions you could think of. Being only a ten minute drive from the A1 it is a great place to base your stay for those that like to adventure out to other places. But seriously, you could just stay and chill all week here.
