Great Property

We stayed at the property for two days while sight seeing in the north east on our way back to the south of England from Edinburgh. The property was immaculate and Elaine was a fantastic host. It is particularly good for families with small children as Elaine has thought of and provided everything they could need.

Extremely relaxing

Ideal for families, we loved this location, as it was an easy commute to surrounding areas. So much provided in the house, especially the toys and games for the kids, much thought has gone into this, and my boys loved every minute. Much thanks to the host Elaine and also to the very friendly local community . One of the best family friendly holidays we’ve had.

This house is outstanding. Elaine caters for everyone especially children and as we know when the kids are happy the adults can relax. We have stayed for the third time last weekend , it is such a central area with a beach minutes away also. We will be back certainly.

This is a beautiful little terrace house in a very quiet area with a few minutes walk to the beach/sea. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped with games, books etc. This is a perfect place for a break. Totally recommend.

We had a fabulous week, in a fabulous town and a fabulous property. Everything we needed was there, extremely comfortable, warm and everything brilliantly clean. Everything worked, great shower, comfortable bed and a real credit to Elaine the owner. Also excellent value for money. I would fully recommend this to both couples and families.

A week in Newbiggin by the sea

Wow what a fantastic holiday we’ve just had with our two grandchildren! The house was brilliant, so clean and cosy and with EVERYTHING we could possibly need!! 3.45 minutes to walking on the beach, timed by the grandson! A lovely clean beach, soft sand, clear water and rock pools which kept us happy till sunset!! Easy access to plenty of things to see and a wonderful host who was available to us with ideas. Thank you Elaine xx

Neat, clean and great for exploring the area!

We enjoyed our stay, the accomodation was neat, clean and as displayed in the advert. The location was a bit different from what we had anticipated for eventhough the beach was nearby. The street in which the accomodation was situated was somewhat basic. The host, Elaine, was a real sweetheart and responded in a heartbeat to our questions and did everything to make out stay comfortable. We had a great stay, Newbiggin is very central to go and explore Northumberland. Deffinately a recommendation worthy.

Super Seaside Stay

could not recommend this accommodation more. We were a mixed family group from 2years old, his Daddy and Grandparent. Elaine had provided a range of good quality toys e.g. Fisher Price Pirate ship which our grandson loved. The house was clean and comfortable with everything you could need. The area was a short walk to the lovely town and the beach was only minutes away. Could not recommend this accommodation more and Elaine was easily contacted if needed .

Back Again

Obviously we rated the accomodation very highly as we returned for a second visit within 6 months. The house is well situated 43seconds from the sea. Counted by my husband and grandson. Very well equipped, Elaine has thought of everything. The second bedroom was a delight for my grandson and us with a pirate theme and toys. Newbiggin is a nice town with an extensive beach and walking areas. We will return.

Nice quiet 3 day break

I booked the property for my parents & their friend as a surprise getaway to relax. The first thing my parents commented on was how clean the property was and that it smelled amazing on arrival. They loved the location of the house, also they appreciated that should kids be staying there, the toys/dress up provided & also the style of the second bedroom would be fantastic for them. My dad who suffers with Arthritis was also very complimentary to the comfort of the bed in the master bedroom, saying its the best nights sleep he'd had in years. Elaine was also very pleasant to speak to and went out of her way to suggest afternoon teas/local cafes for my parents to visit. All in all a fantastic overall experience

Perfect stay

Firstly we had a great stay, everything was perfect, the children loved to pirate themed room. It was a shame we didnt get to spend more time here as we used it to sleep and change to much tto do and see. The bad part now. we left everything as found, the host claims we left spill damage all over the place and has to have everything upholstered, they provided photos as evidence of the damage which is a joke. Non of said evidence was present when we left. We are honest people if we left any damage i would of contacted the host immediately to inform them. Absolute shame at the behaviour ofmthe host was such a nice place to stay. They also claim to have contacted us about this but the only message i received was from vrbo saying we are being charged a damage fee. What a shame

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar, 2024
It's always great when guests tell us we have such a nice place to stay. We're glad the children loved it and that everything was perfect. It is sad on the very odd occasion when we have to let guests know that our only house rule 'leave the place as you found it' hasn't aligned. Having hosted now for the past decade, on this occasion we could not accept the spillages as 'fair' and, having adhered strictly to the VRBO complaints procedure, we presented you with our photographic evidence, date and time stamped to within an hour of your departure. We appreciate that on busy, family holidays things might get overlooked, but to say that these things were 'not present when we left' suggests that we have somehow manufactured them which is quite frankly absurd. :-(
