Beach House (Alnmouth) Reviews

It is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location. The sofas and beds were comfortable and the bedding was nice and clean. Unfortunately the toilets needed cleaning better and I felt like I needed to clean everything in the kitchen before I used it. The garden had a pile of full dog poo bags that we had to remove also a mess in the garden. I would definitely return if the cleaning issues were addressed.

Beach house was in a lovely position in Alnmouth. We really struggled to gain access to the house as getting the key into the lock was very difficult. The beds were clean and very comfortable the house was tidy and overall cleanliness was okay however a container of milk and ketchup was left in the fridge and in one of the bathrooms was a jug of extremely dry dead flowers! The bins outside had not been emptied so did smell unfortunately. There was the usual welcome box but no tea towel for drying pots which I thought was unusual. Overall the house was lovely but tired, the courtyard was super and perfect for our dog.

Suited my daughter and her family well. Seems to have been recently decorated Neat and tidy but family friendly. Near park for the early risers! Well equipped kitchen
Our second stay at Beach house was just as enjoyable as the first. The house is really comfortable, well equipped and of course the location is fantastic. The only improvement I can think of is to keep the hedge by the lane at the front of the property better trimmed as I did get wet once brushing past it. Also fencing off the courtyard with the outdoor table would make staying with my dog much easier. Having to keep her on the lead is not idea. That's minor though I still think it likely we'll visit again. Thank you.
Beach house was generally clean and comfortable and well placed to explore all the area has to offer. We enjoyed walks from the door, sometimes using the bus to return. The small museum in the ferryman's hut gave an insight into Alnmouths history. Parking in Garden terrace is tricky as it's very narrow. The weather was mixed but overall we had a good week.
Anthony
We loved this house. Great location to feel away from it all. House clean with comfortable living space and bedrooms ,good wifi in all areas. Kitchen is compact but well equipped. House felt welcoming and relaxed. We enjoyed the outside seating area a daylong sun trap with parasol provided. Managed to park easily ,close to the house at bottom of the road ,adjacent to small park. Generally an overall excellent stay. Would definitely rebook.
Catherine
We had a lovely week at The Beach House. The location was excellent, a short walk to the village centre, park and beach. The living room and bedrooms were are very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and provided everything we needed. We had a couple of chilly evenings and needed to use the heating which was very efficient and quickly warmed the house. There were a few small things that would have made the stay 5 stars, better lighting in the dining room, more mirrors in the bedrooms and the filter in the hoover needed to be replaced but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and the previous reviews should not put people off booking this house.
Judith
Four cracked window panes in living room window. Unkempt garden with green mouldy patio. Cobwebs hanging from living room and bedroom light fittings. Poorly stocked kitchen. Broken cutlery holder in the dishwasher. The bins were full when we arrived nowhere to put our rubbish.
We had a great holiday in Alnmouth and the Beach House was a good location for accessing the beach. It was a comfortable lounge area for the family to relax in and was nice and warm. However we had a few issues with general cleanliness that should have been easy to maintain. There was mouldy cutlery in the dishwasher the ocean was unclean and the carpet had a lot of dirty stains on our arrival which was a little off putting. The dishcloths were very old and tatty too they need to be replaced. A couple of us also felt itchy and had 13 bite marks on our bodies and we wondered if this could be bed bugs but I couldn't be sure. Overall a great house but would be reluctant to revisit unless I could be sure these things were rectified.
Barbara
Couldn't ask for a better location straight out of the house and onto the river and beach for glorious walks enjoying the views and nature. The house has goodsized bedrooms, the lounge is very comfortable with the sun streaming into it every morning, and the central heating was efficient. We were surprised to see the open fire has gone, as it's still mentioned in the description, but there's an electric fire instead which though less romantic was probably a good deal easier to light and warm the lounge through. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there was even a bed provided for the dogs. It's a bit of a pain that dogs aren't allowed upstairs, as our two are used to sleeping with us and weren't very impressed at being kept downstairs, but I can understand that the owners don't want to risk muddy paws on furnishings. All in all, we found it good value for money and loved it!

Although the property was clean and comfortable, and in a good position in the village. We found that it was somewhat tired , and in need of some freshening up. The lounge curtains, for example, could do with rehangingsorting out, and the enclosed garden situation, could be better dealt with.
We were delighted with our stay at Beach House. It's a beautiful house in a convenient location. Very comfortable and tasteful throughout. As the cook I was particularly pleased to find the kitchen had everything I could want. We were very lucky with the weather and the front garden was a delightful place to sit, getting all day sun. A really peaceful place to be. Inside too where it was very quiet. All in all even better than expected especially the first rate TV and the useful extra freezer.
Caroline
Great base for exploring Northumberland. Spacious accommodation in a lovely village.
The property is well equipped and the lounge is a very pleasant room. Location for beach, shops and restaurants is excellent. Whilst not inaccurate in the listing the WC facilities are inadequate for a number of people. The WC on the ground floor is far smaller than one on an aircraft! The bathroom facilities are well below current day expectations. It is nice to sit out in the garden but should be maintained far better. Sweeping the area would be a start and removing the weeds would make a big improvement. Parking can be an issue particularly when spaces are taken up by a neighbour's skip.
Lovely period property with a homely feel. Spacious, perfect location in Alnmouth and comfortably furnished. Having been worried about previous reviews, I was surprised at both the decor and the cleanliness of the property. The house is 180 years old and exudes period charm and character. We have stayed in various accommodation in Alnmouth over a number of years and this house ticked all the boxes for us.
Alnmouth is beautiful. This property is in an ideal spot for the beach. However, though this is a very nice property, it feels a bit grubby and tired. Threadbare carpet in lounge covered with a couple of rugs. Cooker not clean. Towels need replacing as very thin. Everywhere feels that it could do with a good clean. Rattling pipes when toilet flushed. Enclosed outdoor space is not really enclosed as dogs can easily access the next garden and neighbour using unfenced access rights. I mistakenly saw that the house has two bathrooms and assumed wrongly that both bathrooms would contain a toilet!! One bathroom has no toilet 2nd toilet is in the rear hall. Very very small loo space only to be used in emergency! my mistake. I should have read the description more thoroughly! I will be visiting Alnmouth again for sure but not this property.
The house itself was in a lovely place. Really nice to be near the sea however it was incredibly dirty. The oven was awful and the beds felt like the bedding has not been washed. We had to vac the entire house when we got there and dust. Some of the dust looked like it had been there a long time. The kitchen was grubby and the plates and cups needed a good clean before we were able ti use them. The house could do with a really good deep clean!
We love the feel of Beach House, very relaxing. Its location is great, being so near the expanse of estuary, sea and sand, along with being able to just walk out the door and get supplies up the road from the local shops etc. Thanks for a wonderful week.
This was a brilliant house for a multigenerational get together in November. Coming out of season we particularly appreciated the bright sitting room where we could sit and read after blustery days on the beach.
Perfect for five adults and two infants. Great location for the beach.
A well equipped, well positioned holiday home.
Terrific site in this glorious seaside village.
Lovely spacious cottage in an amazing location right next to estuary with beach just around the corner. Very comfortable stay, fantastic house for families with dogs and small children. My children are all teenagers and loved it as a base for chilling out and going for lovely coastal walks. Would highly recommend.
The house is roomy and very comfortable with a sheltered garden where we enjoyed relaxing. It&39s very close to the beach with easy access to the coastal footpath and cycling routes. We would love to stay there again!
Wonderful area and very dog friendly. Handy for the play park, super beach, and great walks are all so close. Roomy accommodation.
