Beachcomber's Rest

This is a great spot. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect location without the need to drive. Beds very comfy. All amenities you need were provided. <br/>Despite being at the end of season the house was still looking welcoming all the ornaments made you feel at home.

One of the main surprises about this booking was that after booking and paying the balance, we were contacted and informed we had to pay an additional £25 accidental damage cover or we had to pay a deposit which we could claim back afterwards minus a £10 admin fee. This was disappointing as this should have been included in the price and made very clear before booking is confirmed.<br/>The house was in a great location, was clean, tidy and warm, however you can tell this is run by a management company as it was lacking in some of the little personal touches that we have experienced in other air bnbs run by individual hosts.

Location was excellent and house has all the amenities needed.

its location we used it as a stop over on the way to scotland. it was easy to find, very close to restaurants cafe's and shops not to mention pubs, didn't use the kitchen except to unwrap the takeaway.<br/><br/>I Don't know whether my fault or theirs but, we had to sort out the insurance for our stay on the doorstep (to get the Key box code) not the easiest company to call. and i think they could have let me know at time of booking.

No cleaning supplies, unable to clean sink, counters, stove or floor as there were no supplies. Also needed more washing up liquid and paper towel. Took us ages to find plug for sink.

Nice little house, quiet area, comfortable beds, tea, coffee sugar, and milk on arrival.<br/>Someone parked in drive when we arrived but sorted a bit later before we headed out. One criticism i have is that you book on a non refundsble basis, then find out they require a bond and then they deduct an admin fee, which is a bit naughty.

Location<br/><br/>Bathroom shower needs a shower head.

Very lovely place, close to the town and the beach. Host was great no complaints at all 10/10 would stay again .

The location was excellent, shops and restaurants pubs not far to walk.<br/><br/>The property did smell of smoke In the hall as you walked In, could to with a paint all round, the front and back garden need a good weed. Apart from they have a gem of a place.

Lovely holiday home, really good location a few minutes walk from the beach. Thank you!

Lovely property to be able to explore the Northumberland coast. Only a 5 minute walk and you are into Seahouses centre. Well decorated property. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Knus huis, leuke aankleding.<br/>3 toiletten en 2 badkamers.<br/>Op loopafstand van de zee, echt uniek. Voldoende speelgelegenheid om te badmintonnen of frisbeeën.<br/><br/>De 'eetkamer' is functioneel, maar erg klein. <br/>Ik voelde me er thuis.<br/>De tuin heeft wat aandacht nodig.

Location<br/><br/>There was an unusual smell which we could not get rid of and floors were dirty and cups dirty as well

A great find and perfect location. Everything we needed, comfortable beds, pleasant lounge and well equipped kitchen. We hope to return. Thank you

The location was beautiful ? plenty to do in surrounding areas also.<br/><br/>The floors were very dirty in the property with no mop and bucket to wash them. Pillows very flat and needed extra for a good night's sleep.

Location was brilliant<br/><br/>The property could do with a little TLC, 2 of the 3 toilets were broken and would not flush on arrival, the owners did manage to get a plumber to repair during our visit.

We enjoyed a clean and comfortable stay at the Beachcombers Rest. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook, eat and clean. Great, quiet location with easy walking to the centre of Seahouses which has several restaurants, pubs and takeaways. A short drive to many attractions, including Bamburgh and the Holy Isle, as well as beautiful beaches.<br/>The patio/garden area was a bit of a let down, especially as we had lovely weather for sitting out. It was minimal but could be lovely with a bit of care.<br/>Expect to pay at least another £10 for "admin" to get your deposit back, or £25 for an indemnity policy! Airbnb are trying to be transparent at the booking stage for total cost but this is a cheeky little add on by Host and Stay.

The property is really well presented, well equipped and in a lovely part of the country.

Nice place to stay, next to beach, lovely area.

Location<br/><br/>Toilet was not working patio doors could not open ( fire hazard) shower very very low pressure report toilet and patio ( patio had been reported by other people did get advise how to fix we are not there to fix faults

The house itself is lovely and in the perfect location for places like Alnwick, Bamborough, Lindisfarne etc. The beaches in this area are stunning and you can walk for miles. <br/>The house was comfy, especially the beds and its in a lovely quiet street, with easy access straight onto the coastal path and just a few mins walk to seahouses harbour, meaning you can leave the car at the house if you are going to the Farnes or into the village or for a walk on the beach.<br/>There were a few issues, mainly in terms of the cleaning of the kitchen, but the patio door was also stuck. This meant we couldnt use the garden, which was disappointing as the weather was perfect to enjoy breakfast or an evening drink in the garden, but sadly that couldnt happen. <br/>All issues reported to Host and Stay so hopefully they will be fixed as it really is a lovely place to stay. <br/>It does seem strange that you book through airbnb, but then host and stay offer you discounts to book directly with them next time.

Shower, couldn’t get it warm enough. Sofa uncomfortable, seats too wide for shorter people

The location, the open land access at the end of the culd de sac, was fab for a quick dog walk and also access to the coastline so you could be at the harbour in 10 minutes. The bed was very comfy and bags of hot water.<br/><br/>Nothing

Modern house a short coastal walk into town about 10 mins away. 2 bath/shower rooms and downstairs loo makes it good choice for 2 couples<br/><br/>2nd twin bedroom did not have a bedside cabinet or light but we managed to sort from items in the property

Great location easy walk into town.

Lovely place and will be back. Nice quiet estate and away from the busy little high street. Walks straight into the beach paths. Comfortable and quiet. <br/>Will be back as we live the Northumberland coast

Lovely cottage and location was perfect for walking the dogs to the beach!

we absolutely loved our stay here. All the amenities where superb (the lining especially ?) the place has a lovely homely vibe. Close to shops and pubs walking distant. <br/>The only issue I have with host & stay, is they put another 10£ service charge on. Which you have to pay after you have booked unknowingly.

we had a short stay in the seahouse area. would love to visit again. there are lots of good restaurants i wanted to try.

Location<br/><br/>Property was a freezing cold when we arrived . Light on the stairs wasn’t working and the property smelled of dog or cigarette smoke, not sure what is was

Lovely location, great for walks on the beach, nice house.

Great location, easy walk into town. Loved our stay here.

Had a fantastic stay! Will book again

Immediately felt uneasy about the stay when we were hit with a large cleaning fee & an unexpected request for a deposit after the booking had been accepted. <br/>We decided to go ahead & the place was easy enough to find. But when we opened the door there was a strong smell of stale cigarette smoke throughout the entire house. <br/>As the sun set, we searched for the light switch & flicked it on. But there was no power! We tried the fuse box, normal. So we phoned the management company who directed us to a meter outside which read ‘emergency credit’. We pushed the button & fortunately, the meter got topped up for the remainder of our stay. <br/>Anyway, the house needs proper maintenance. The downstairs toilet runs. The upstairs toilet handle is very loose. The dripping & clicking from the bathroom kept me from sleeping & there was dog poo in the back garden. <br/>All in all, a disappointing stay made worse by the cleaners arriving 20 minutes early, waiting on the drive & making us feel awks AF.

Beachcombers is indeed a clean, comfortable, well-equipped house in a lovely position where you can easily walk into town and to the shore. The owners have furnished the house very thoughtfully. 10/10.<br/><br/>We were greatly disappointed by the pervasive smell of cigarette smoke in the house. We did complain but no one came to call. Also, the thermostat on the shower did not work and the water ran too hot. <br/>And surely the Housekeeping team should notice that the toilet flush in the bathroom was not functioning - when cleaning the place? A shame the house is not well maintained. <br/>The rubbish outside was overflowing. <br/>In addition, it was a shock to have paid and then be presented with a bill of 25 pounds for extra insurance or a deposit of 250 pounds!! Booking.com used to say the charges were up front. Later, I did see this deposit mentioned in the last paragraph for the description of the property. Not to be repeated by us.

All the little touches, especially the doggy accents.<br/><br/>Nothing.

The bedrooms were very nice, kitchen and lounge fine, location fine.<br/><br/>We were looking forward to using the bath, but the water in the bathroom was not hot enough, water in the shower fine. <br/>The heating seemed only to come on at certain intervals and was not on in the evenings, the front panel on the boiler was off , looked like someone had been working on it. Did not like having to pay an amount to avoid leaving a deposit to in case there were damages "Damage waiver £25" surely your insurance covers this ?We never have paid this before with Bookings.com.

Fabulous location. Two minutes walk from the beach. <br/>House has everything you need in it and parking outside. Quiet location

Great house well equipped and very clean and tidy and comfortable. Recommended.

Excellent location, great house very well kept & immaculate in all ways except one!<br/><br/>From the moment we opened the front door we could smell cigarette smoke even after leaving windows & doors open it remained. Every item of our clothing smelt of smoke by the time we left totally unacceptable. I have to admit to a mistake I missed the details around damage wavers & felt frustrated when I realised I had to pay an additional £260, refundable minus £10 in 14 days or £25 total for a 2 nt stay & provide my personal information to a company I've never heard of subject to an inspection after my stay I was disappointed to be put in this position when I booked with booking.com I expect their T&Cs not host & stay whom I had never heard of & frankly I will never stay with again!

Glorious part of the world for a weekend break A very comfortable house located only a short scenic walk from the harbour shops and several charming pubs We enjoyed our stay very much We had everything we needed including TV a super big fridge a washing machine and Alexa ! One thing though watch out for very hot water in the shower Maybe the temperature control is not working properly ? Also a difficult to open sliding door into the nice out door garden space Overall a great house in a very lovely part of the world no doubt of that<br/><br/>just as above mad I know but the shower water was a bit too hot with no means of control and the difficult sliding door Or was that just us ? ?

Very good, lovely area. Hose very nice, comfortable and clean. Just a couple of points: mirror would be helpful in second bedroom and lamp. Also lamp in main sitting room. Otherwise very good . Thankyou

Beautiful location. Walkable to beach, town, restaurants, shops etc. House itself is lovely, perfect for our family, restful, spacious.<br/>Would definitely return. Thank you

Good location. Nice little house. Not far from Banbrough Castle, Lindisfarne, etc.<br/><br/>The house smelt of smoke, even after airing. Not sure if this is cleaners smoking, previous visitors or owners. But it wasn't very pleasant.

Great location, well equipped house with private parking and outdoor space

Fantastic location to walk to Beadnell and Bamburgh. Lovely and peaceful. Really enjoyed the boat trip to see puffins and seals on the Farne islands.

Nice place, a few minutes walk from the harbour, shops and pubs. Can reach other destinations such as Alnwick, Bamborough etc easily by car or bus. Good beaches and walking nearby.
