Goldenhill Retreats

Everything I needed

The owner was very pleasant, kind and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable with tea/coffee-making facilities. It's a good quiet location convenient for Bamburgh, Seahouses and Lindisfarne and I liked the sound of sheep, cows and hens in the morning. There was a hot tub (free) and a sauna (pay extra). Wifi was excellent.

The room descriptions said "Flat screen TV" - this was not in the rooms but in a communal dining/seating area. The bathroom and toilet were described as shared and this was understood to mean shared between the two rooms - however the bathroom was also used by at least one workman/builder on the site and could have been used by other guests/visitors. The facilities for preparing food were inadequate although it was kind of the owner to provide a microwave and some cutlery and plates. This meant realistically having three meals outside. The locks on the doors were annoyingly very hard to lock over 3 days and needed attention (WD40?) Taking all this into account I wasn't satisfied with the cost of the accommodation.

How peaceful it was and relaxing and interaction with host very nice

Nothing

Very nicely done Good light in the Room Very friendly and helpful host also replying quickly when you have a question

No breakfast (no surprise, we knew, but a small breakfast would be nice) Water power in shower very poor No Shampoo/bath gel provided

We loved that it was out of the way, loved that it was peaceful. Caroline made us feel super welcome, the packs that are provided in the room with so information that you don’t have to try and Google.

I don’t think there wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
