Château by the Sea - Hotel style 3 bed optional hot tub

Very spacious and beautiful house. We found everything that we needed for our short stay, dishes and utensils in the kitchen, towels in the bathroom, and some extras in the living room. We were also surprised by the bar area,it was well located,funny equipped. Hot tub worked with no issues in the private back garden,it was easy to use. TV worked perfectly, lightning all worked,we had extra towels although brought our ones specifically for hot tub. Spacious bathroom with big bath. We also found some ice cubes left by previous hires,it would be handy if we didn't bring our own ones. The sea was just round the corner, beautiful and colourful, along with pubs and restaurants that we enjoyed also. We had a lovelly Sunday walk along the beach, taking a hundred pictures to remember the place :) There were free car park on site and slow chargers just round the corner (it was very handy for my EV car)

I would advise the owner to talk to the cleaner to clean the place with respect. It was dust and dirt behind the bathroom sink,rubbish in the bar bucket, and some old letters left in the bin (data protection),also loads of dust,hair and flufs under the beds. It didn't bother us much,but the cleaner gets paid for proper housekeeping. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay and would definitely come back :)

Fab property, well done in design and utilising the space. Great family home

Great location, very clean and spacious. Perfect for us

Having a washing line would be better to have for drying stuff/swim stuff. Nowhere to hang it after being in hot tub 2 double bed frames very noisy. Not ideal at all for light sleepers.

Very quiet location, mini supermarket 1 min walk away and chemist 1 minute away. Beach 5 mins walk. 10 min walk into Newbiggin main area. Heating was good, facilities were good just tired looking.

There are no coat hooks anywhere. If would be good to have a couple of hooks over the radiator by the front door for coats The stair carpet joint is opening and is a trip hazard. The beds are creeky, a nest of small tables in the living room for a cup/ glass to sit on would be good. Get rid of the neon light and bar. It's looking tired and could do with the skirting boards and other woodwork cleaned or tidied up. How does the fire work? Whats the small remote control for? Get rid of the Chanel and other irrelevant books about some french fashion designer. It's a family accomodation not targeting the footballers wives brigade. The floor in the dining area is split and lifting, looks like a leak at some time in the past. Replace the non stick pans and get some half decent cutlery, the knives and forks are children's size and cheap.

It’s beautifully decorated downstairs. We’ve spent most of the time at the dinner table as it was the most pleasant spot in the house

It was dirty. Every blanket was filthy with dog hair and sand, we had dog and human hair in our beds, bathroom floor was dirty and sticky, bathroom mirror was dirty with toothpaste spatters, smell of damp in the house and plaster coming off the walls in many places, dirty dishes and kitchen units and generally lack of attention to detail. We had to request change of bedding as it looked like it hasn’t been changed after previous guests. The owners were very apologetic and reacted quickly and changed the bedding the next day. They also have been very responsive and nice so it’s a shame I have to leave this bad review.

Location and size, no complaints at all superb

Nothing

it was clean in general , kitchen utensils and crockery needed washing before using them needs new dinner set and some large glass tumblers but ok otherwise , no grill pan ,

beds were very noisy and stairs were very creaky
