Host & Stay - Eden Cottage

Plenty of room in a good location

Fantastic location

Bed was very comfy and the whole of the house was welcoming.

We loved the house and location, it was magical to stay on Lindisfarne. Gorgeous decoration, and we loved having the board games and smart TV! Beds were insanely comfortable, would love to stay again.

We booked the stay somewhat spontaneously while on our honeymoon and were out of wifi range. Having never stayed with Host & Stay before we didn't realise any paperwork had been sent over so by the time we realised, we were on Lindisfarne with no data and 1 bar of signal. We rang Host & Stay to try and figure it out, who told us to drive to Alnwick for reliable signal (and didn't seem to realise Lindisfarne was tidal so would be impassable in an hour and kept texting us links we could not access due to no data). It took two phone calls and 45 minutes to sort out how to find the keys and lockbox code when it was freezing outside, and 1 of us was immunosuppressed. When we finally got the lockbox location, it wasn't even locked. A lot of faff for no reason, which slightly spoiled the arrival. Also we could not get the main bedroom blind to stay shut for love nor money but we didn't mind too much as the days were quite dark, but I imagine it would be more of a problem on lighter days.

Eden Cottage was the perfect place for a few days downtime after our wedding. We wanted somewhere comfortable with a log burner within 100 yards of a pub. Eden Cottage absolutely delivered.

There was nothing not to like. Two showers (one en suite, one in a downstairs wet room) arguably meant we were missing a bath, but we couldn't see where you'd get one in.

Loved the downstairs layout and the really roomy sitting room with the gorgeous log burner. And that is is excluded so no traffic.the beds are super comfy

Only that we struggled to find it but I rang the helpline number and they were fantastic

Beautiful cottage, very comfortable and clean. Great location, everything within walking distance. We were there at the beginning of December and it was fairly quiet, which suited us. It was cold outside but very cosy indoors. An added bonus was that my sister and I got most of our Christmas shopping done in the lovely gift shops on the island - much better than rushing about in a crowded town centre!

I honestly can't think of any way the cottage could have been better.

Good location, heating good, we didn’t light the fire as warm enough. Cottage as a stand alone let is very good.

Take a torch as outside is very dark at the time of year we stayed, mid Nov. I can’t recommend anyone book any accommodation with Host and Stay due to their current requirement, which are: you provide a third party with your personal details including photographic evidence, you allow the third party to take from your credit card £250 upfront plus a £10 admin. You will, if no damage is reported, only get back £250 but not the £10 admin charge. On booking.com the damage waiver is mentioned in the important information, only in the very small print is the admin charge mentioned but not how much it is, there is also no mention of the requirement to sign up to a third party organisation(Superhog). See reviews of Superhog online to make an informed decision on this organisation.

The accommodation was just perfect. Idyllic setting, beautifully decorated and superbly equipped.

The property was in one of the best locations on the island and had lovely walks from the door step. It was also a short distance from the local attractions and land marks, cafes and pubs and beaches. The property had a comfortable lounge and the bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. The shared garden was very pretty and had a large table for dining outside.

The garden furniture was in need of a good wipe down before we could use it and there was a water hose left out , which was a trip hazard. The kitchen is in need of an update and some TLC as some of the cupboard doors were chipped and this was slightly off putting when preparing food. Also we could only find one wooden chopping board, which is quite unhygienic. When the sun was shining, we noticed that the downstairs windows were very dirty on the outside, which spoilt the view to the garden.
