Porthole Cottage Reviews

Elaine
This house is in an amazing location for walks- we did Seahouses, Bamburgh and the Newtons . Itâ??s also great for the beach, 2 mins walk , our dog loved the freedom of a good run round and in fact you can walk along the beach for miles. The front garden is also enclosed and has outdoor seating . The owners are lovely, so friendly and obliging. I messaged them about a hairdryer ( there is one) and to see if we could park if we arrived early. I wasnâ??t asking to get into the property early as that wouldnâ??t be fair. They were so kind and obliging, messaging back and even phoning about parking.
Roddie
Excellent location close to the beach and a very comfortable cottage off the main road.
Robin
Good, clean, well laid out property in a good location near the local beach
Fiona
