Martins Cottage Reviews

Cornelius
We had a lovely week at Martins Cottage, very comfortable with everything we needed. Great position in the town for pubs and shops. Lovely beach and walks from cottage. Just a couple of things for reference, the work tops and fridge door could do with a bit of attention, but small things only!
On a whole everything ok. Think the kitchen could do with a bit of an overhaul, the work top definitely seen better days. TV signal not always there, interference as well.
Lovely place, booked for next year!
Beautiful cottage, well equipped and so relaxing. A few hiccups one with the blinds in the bathroom and one over change of bed linen mid stay but these were just minor issues. We love this cottage so much that we have booked again already for 2027. Might be useful to have a few more materials for cleaning the kitchen and bathroom as we were asked to leave the cottage clean.
Antony
Ideal position, initial problems with key quickly rectified. The bath is very high so a grab rail would be helpful. We will definitely visit again.
Beautiful cottage in the centre of Alnmouth but still felt very private as it was tucked in a side street . Parking space included and had all the amenities needed . We had a lovely relaxing break and would definitely go again .
William
Our 5th holiday at Martins cottage. It is always spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped.
Patricia
A small, clean and well equipped cottage, with instant access to Alnmouth high street for shops and restaurants and the sea is just near by, which makes us want to return. The were issues with the heating timing, a problem at this time of year.
We love this cottage. A few issues inasmuch as the water was never hot for showers or washing up, the bottom step outside is eroded and potentially dangerous , the overhead shower still drips constantly as it did a year previously and the fridge door makes a dreadful noise and needs adjustment. We will be booking again.
A lovely cottage for two people, this was our second time staying there. However, the heating and the hot water supply need attention we had problems with the heating on our first stay. The heating emitted a high pitched whistle as well as being erratic. The hot water, even on a low flow, never got hot enough. The silicone round the bath needed replacing.
Lovely cottage and in an ideal location. We would book again in the future if we were returning to Alnmouth.
Just excellent, see you next year!
William
This is our 4th visit to the cottage, it is very clean, warm, comfortable and very well equipped. The fresh milk etc was well recieved. We will return.
Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Located centrally in Alnmouth & we found it very quiet it was low season. Great to have off street parking a real bonus in Alnmouth. Thanks to Nikki and the team at Northumbria cottages who responded very quickly to the problem we had with the wood burner. Looking forward to a return visit to Alnmouth & Martins cottage.

We had to reduce the time we spent at Martins Cottage due to ill health. On arrival it was a cold night and though a starter pack for the fire was advertised the first thing we had to do was buy some logs. The mattress on the bed was just like those in the cottage next door where we have also stayed we zero support and like before would no doubt have ended with a bad back. Sofa wasnt very comfortable either. Overall the cottage is well equipped, clean and with freedom to have heating on as desired comfortable but the bed situation like next door means we wont be rebooking.
Excellent location, reserved parking a real advantage in this village.

This was our second visit to Alnmouth and like last year it was lovely! We love the cottage which is beautifully decorated and has everything we needed. The walled garden is superb. We will be returning next year!
Brilliant place, 8th time here, already booked for 2025.
Michael
Very nice cottage in excellent location.
Lovely little cotrage tucked away on a quiet private lane Thankyou for the bottle of red & crisps, not to mention the milk in the fridge. . All were very much appreciated.
Fantastic cottage. Cant wait to come back next year.
Perfect retreat
William
Well maintained very clean, and well equipped, comfortable cottage in a good location. The parking place is a bonus. Useful information provided, we would recommend Sunday lunch at the village golf club.
This was our 5th visit to Martins Cottage. We will be retuning in January 2024 and have also booked for January 2025. A lovely place to spend a week.
A lovely, well appointed property. It was warm and clean and was like a home from home. The owners are very friendly and having them live close by is an asset. We did struggle with the new door key however as it was very difficult to use until it was oiled and it was becoming more stiff as we left. We can't wait to return in March 2024 and May 2025!
We loved staying in Martins Cottage very smart and comfortable! We will be returning !
Stuart
We really enjoyed our stay in Martins Cottage as it is extremely comfortable, well maintained and beautifully furnished and equipped and the garden was delightful. It benefits from having parking nearby and is in an ideal location for exploring Alnmouth and the surrounding areas. I would strongly recommend Martins Cottage and can't wait to return.
Perfect holiday spot for us, lovely comfortable place and great company to deal with.
Michael
Off street parking, very quiet garden with seating. Martins cottage was perfect for us as on one level, clean, well equipped even a welcome gift. Close to restaurants, shops, and pubs. Easy walking to countryside and beach areas.
Malcolm
The only thing we could have done with was a small set of steps. Some shelving very high and a bit wobbly standing on one of the chairs. Otherwise everything good and we hope to stay again.
Carole
The cottage was pleasant, well equipped and in a good location. Good bath. Nice log burner but no logs on arrival which was disappointing. Also no salt and pepper which I would consider a standard requirement. Had to go out and buy a few basics, difficult to know in advance what will be there when you turn up. Info said shoe rack and slippers provided but they weren't there and although quite obvious where the very pretty garden was it would have been nice to have been told!
Shirley
Lovely comfortable,very well maintained and homely property in a very central position. The added bonus of parking and a delightful shared wall garden meant my holiday was perfect.I apologise for misreading the parking space ,as I thought I needed to park parallel to the other cars not the wall and I hope it did not create too many problems for others.Shirley Crook
Anthony
Our third visit to Martins' Cottage. Really enjoyed them all.
Pretty much our ideal way to visit Northumberland. Very comfortable and well equipped, parking is easy and Alnmouth's facilitiespubs, restaurants , shops, and its wonderful coast line are a short walk away.
This was our 4th stay in this cottage. We have already booked to return in November 2023. I think that says it all!
Martin's Cottage is a firstclass facility . . . highly recommended! The only shortcomings, as reported to the owner, were the wifi connection TV resolved, the operation of the wood burner and the insecure tap in the kitchen.
