Host & Stay - Harbour Holm

Great central location. Very well equipped and comfortable. Two large social areas so brilliant for a family or small groups. Free parking on street outside. Nice patio although we couldn't use as weather was dreadful. Only time we could have used was Sunday morning when the sun did make an appearance but we were told we had to leave at 10.

Far too many up selling messages from the company who manages the property. Repeated warnings about charges if things got broken and encouraged a number of times to take out insurance. Not relaxing feel. Asked if any flex to stay a little later on check out as 10 on a Sunday feels so early. Told no as cleaners were due then when we actually returned to collect our car at 11.20 the house was still as we left it with no cleaners. That was a bit frustrating really.

Very clean and very pleasant. Excellent location for walking the coastal path.

Our 2nd stay this year.Such a warm and cosy cottage,twinkly christmas light on made it even more welcoming.Clean spacious everything you could want.Close to harbour and nice eating places.Just feels so welcoming and homely.Look forward to going again.

The house was in a great location, near to restaurants, shops and the coast. The town is also great for accessing nearby attractions and walks. The property was spacious, clean and cosy. It had everything we needed for our stay. There was plenty of seating, an outside area and a large kitchen. The area was quiet, apart from the very regular chimes of the bells, and parking was easy. The property was easy to access and detailed instructions were given.

The constant emails from the hosts - especially trying to sell us extras e.g. a personal chef, gin experience, check in early for an extra cost (not welcoming at all, we've never experienced this before at a rental property) and damage insurance. The realisation that as part of paying for the property we were liable for any damage (understandable), but they could automatically take money from us to pay for the damage. We had over the top messages about damage to the property and I felt stressed during the stay in case we accidently damaged something or that we might be blamed for some mark or previous breakage. I appreciate that some people don't treat properties with care but we are 2 couples in our 60's and 70's wanting a quiet stay. Made us feel unwelcome and wouldn't book again with this company as a result, despite the property being very suitable.

Beautiful little cottage, right in the centre of Amble.

Nothing I didn't like ,had a fantastic few days away

Amazing house it was very clean,warm and cosy even though downstairs was huge.Liked how you got morning sun in kitchen and evening sun in room.Such a lovely welcoming feel to it Everything in there that you could wish for and more.We just loved it.Very central to everything and parking as well.Felt really chilled out.

Spacious, light and well-equiped, comfortabele furniture. The children loved the many available games and dvd’s. We liked the big kitchen and coffee on the patio. Well situated with harbour/seasight from the first floor. The harbour of Amble is nice, we saw seals, puffins, sterns, and beautiful skies above river and Warwick castle.

Although it was generally very clean and nice, there were a few details that can be improved. The shower was a bit weird, an electrical installation of which buttons and showerhead were not cleansed well (in sharp contrast to everything else!) - no problem: we used the handshower for of the bad instead, which was fine.

We have stayed in this property most years for the last 12 years. We love Amble, and this house is ideally located for everything.

The kitchen set-up has always seemed odd. The pans are cheap and thin. There isn't enough basic cutlery, but there are too many other things, like plates and cheap pans. Also the shower is really poor.
