Host & Stay - The Chimneys

The house was just perfect! The downstairs space is excellent, with a fully equipped kitchen, comfy lounge and a lovely dining room too which we used as a room to play games in the evening. Upstairs had two good bedrooms and a bathroom with a great shower. We couldn’t have asked for any more. It also had a lovely outside space. The location was excellent. At the bottom of the steps you could turn left to walk the very short walk into town and onto the beach. If you turned right you could walk along the estuary and onto the beach. And the beach is just wonderful.

Nothing…apart from the fact we couldn’t stay for longer. We were both so sad that our holiday had to come to an end.

Amazing property Perfectly located close to Alnmouth beach and Alnmouth town. 15 minutes to Alnwick and half an hour to Bamburgh and Seahouses. House is stunning and perfect for a family

Nothing it was amazing

The parking and small bedrooms

The location and the downstairs space.

The low level cooker hood. Very sharp edges! Have to keep remembering to dodge The toilet door sticks. Got stuck inside 😵‍💫 The parking is awkward outside the property. Bathroom step. Quite difficult to manoeuvre and shower very low. We do have tall members of the family so it was a problem for showering.

The property was well equipped and very comfortable and in an excellent location

Only thing missing was a small freezer/freezer box in fridge but not a problem enough to affect our stay

+location +comfort and space on the ground floor + facilities such as washer, dryer, large fridge + outside space +comfortable beds +two toilets + fact that they have responded to other feedback such as leaving milk/tea/coffee/sugsr

- fact that although we used booking.com this was only a link to another agent not the actual owners - as a result of the above we have been bombarded with emails and texts throughout our stay …many of which were inaccurate - some of these emails were about the fact that we had to pay a £25 damage waiver - this seemed to be a term that was not alluded to at the time of booking although if you dig deep enough you can find it. You have no choice but to pay as they will not release the key code without it. - even then (after paying said waiver) we received emails about it which sounded a bit threatening.and prompting me to send a long email back which included, amongst other things m, a list of faults at the property

Large, lovely house in a great location. Close to village shop, beach, nice pubs & transport links. Very light and airy. Plenty of space for all. Kitchen was well stocked with pots and utensils. One issue that arose was sorted immediately.

The bathroom was poorly designed, making it really difficult to use the sink or mirror. The huge marble dining table was far too big for a family meal. The kitchen didn't have any basics like tea, coffee, salt & pepper. There were no beside tables & the main bed was really high which meant you couldn't just keep your book/ phone/ glasses on the floor beside you. There's an additional £25 insurance that they insist you take out, which was hidden in the small print.

Great location and the property had everything we needed for a lovely weekend stay. Well stocked kitchen with all the utensils you could need

Tight parking space for a big car and 10.00 am check out is a bit of a rush

Location was excellent for us as we were playing Alnmouth Golf Course.
