  The property’s location is very good.

  The kitchen is well equipped. The living and dining areas are comfortable - the sofas could do with clean and spruce up. Arrived at the property not aware that the hot water had been switched off and the water was stone cold. Only found this out when we went to run a bath for the children. I’m all for energy saving but a notice (a bit more apparent than the section in the house information folder) would have been appreciated. The driveway is very small and suitable for one car only. You can park on the grass verge opposite the property, however that might get tricky in peak season as people visiting the area to walk on the beach park there too. There is a notice telling guests to ensure their vehicle parked on the drive is not obstructing the bins early on Weds morning so that they can be emptied and threatening a significant charge. We complied, only for bin not to be emptied anyway! Bedrooms well presented, however the bed in the room with the veranda was the most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept on in holiday accommodation. We reported this, but never received a response from Sykes. The shower in the room with the bath did not produce any hot water at all, so those in our party sleeping in that room had to use the shower in the twin bedroom. Toilet in same room moved when sat on. The garden is pleasant and sunny - a washing line would have been helpful and would have saved energy by not using the tumble dryer. We requested a stair gate but were told there was not one available. When we got to the property there was one in the upstairs cupboard but couldn’t be used as some of the fixings were missing. We requested that the travel cot was put up in the twin room but when we arrived we had to search and find it in a cupboard. We requested a high chair - we found that in the utility covered in dust so it needed cleaning before use. Wi-Fi was good. So overall my view is that you are paying a premium price for the location but property needs some tlc. Don’t get me wrong, our party was mainly comfortable and we had a lovely holiday but just felt the whole overall experience was a bit below par.

  Beautiful cottage, exceptionally well equipped and spotlessly clean. We all loved the cottage and felt very comfortable during our stay. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and all of the Easter goodies were a hit with the children! The location was ideal for places we planned to visit. It was beautifully finished and had everything we needed as a group of 6. We could tell from the photos online that the property looked to be finished to a high standard and this is something we really appreciate when looking for a holiday home. The whole process was very straightforward. All of the essentials were really useful. We had a grocery delivery the first evening but the welcome basket provided everything we needed to get us started. We have been really impressed with Coquet Cottages throughout the whole process. We first booked with you in April 2020 and the pandemic unfortunately stopped our plans. When we were looking to book this trip, I recalled how helpful you had been at the time and how quickly we had been refunded without any hassle at all. When we needed to rearrange our dates because of a hospital appointment, you were so very helpful I would not hesitate to recommend you and will definitely be booking our next Northumberland trip with you. I just wish there were Coquet Cottages all over the UK. Thank you!

  The Oystercatcher was perfect in every way with its stylish décor and attention to detail. Everything has been thought of. I was particularly impressed with the butter knife and the rubber gloves! I’d taken my own but did not need them. The communication during our stay was very thoughtful. The information provided prior to our stay was extremely informative and the courtesy call before our holiday was a nice touch. The accommodation was in a perfect location and had everything we needed. The website was easy to follow and the information provided was clear. The photos of the accommodation looked extremely appealing and we were not disappointed. My initial phone call with Coquet Cottages was answered professionally and in a friendly manner and this was the case with all of my communication with the staff of Coquet Cottages. I can honestly say it was just perfect and made all the more special as this was our very first holiday with our new baby granddaughter. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the owners of The Oystercatcher with Coquet Cottages.

  Stayed 19 to 26 July. Excellent location. Literally two minute walk to the beach. Ten minute walk via caravan park to Beadnell village where there are places to eat and drink. There are two restaurants located closer to the cottage. The cottage was both cosy and well equipped. Very pleasantly surprised. The sitting room has large comfy sofas. Lovely log burner should you want to use it (very warm in the cottage so we didn’t use it). Kitchen is ample for cooking in. Has a full size fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a washer/dryer which is a bonus. Bedrooms are light, airy and comfortable. Bathroom is spacious with a very nice bath and separate shower, just what you need after a day on the beach. Weather was warm so we ate all meals outside in the garden which is a sun trap and fully enclosed so safe for both children and dogs. Lovely for BBQ and eating outdoors. There are many visitor attractions in the area which will appeal to all ages. We will return to Prima Cottage next year if not before. Would recommend it.

  On arrival there were no spare dustbin bags, no soap, no dishwasher tabs, no scouring pads for washing up (despite the request not to use the dishwasher for glasses).

  Also there were confectionery wrappers under one of the twin beds, the shower heads were filthy with grime, the mat under the window in first floor bedroom with the balcony was soaking wet, the freeview channels were unavailable and we used our own logins for cable. In addition, it was wet weather and every time the back door was opened it resulted in a pool of water on the kitchen floor. The bin store needs the upper bolt reinforced,as in strong winds it is not strong enough to prevent the doors bursting open. The access to the utility room is problematic as the lock is stiff due to the door being tight in the frame; opening the door requires some strength to pull the door towards you to ease the pressure on the yale lock to allow it to turn. The broken latch fitting on the door would suggest that this has been a long-standing issue. There are weeds growing up through the astro turf, which needs attention.
