The Secret Cottage - Morpeth

1. Central location in Morpeth town with car parking badge for guests

1. The rooms are much smaller than what is shown on the photographs. Really the term “wide angle” should be used. Somewhat misleading. 2. Given the high price, would like to see fire logs and welcome basket provided. Often the case for other stays at the price point. Feels a little tight there. 3. The downstairs living room and kitchen lights did not work because the fuse board kept tripping out. Needs looking into given that this is a fire hazard.

The location was perfect for our interests: near good restaurants, and easy access to area attractions. It is a quiet place considering it is just off the centre of town.

Great space and in a perfect location. The owner is very helpful and understanding.

It was centrally located in Morpeth town centre but was quiet and tucked away

Nothing

Central location

Second bedroom is too small with no room to dress, no mirror, no facilities to dry hair etc. We were attending a wedding which meant we had to share the other bedroom with our friends. Also the bath in the bedroom on the raised plinth was a trip hazard

Clean and homely

Nothing

Location perfect for our needs: quiet, excellent access to town centre shops, cafes & restaurants (all within walking distance). Perfect base for touring. Easy parking. Accommodation spotless well-equipped and comfortable.

Small second bedroom. Bunk bed with double-size lower bunk perhaps fine for short stay but might be a bit cramped for any more than two or three nights, especially if all three beds occupied.

Location was perfect, as it was on top of everything. We were able to walk to everywhere, get to restaurants without needing to drive. The wood bruner was a nice touch and God send on the first night, as the boiler was not working. Although the owner was quick to respond especially with the huge time difference, it was a huge inconvenience and spoilt our stay. The owner was lovely and was made aware of the feedback we would give.

Boiler was not working when we arrived and had outdoor temperatures of 4 degrees. This was not fixed until around 9:30am. It did not help that the cleaner informed us that this was apparently the norm. If the property had been cleaned and checked this would have avoided such a situation. Property was not cleaned properly as the carpet was filthy and there were remnants of fatty oil on the hob and the shower leaked onto the bathroom floor. Although the cottage was nicely decorated, these issues took away its appeal for us. It did not help that the cleaner aired her frustrations about the place to us, as all we wanted was a nice place to stay!
