Seal Bay Reviews

Richard
Great apartment, one of the best we have stayed in only issue was we could not get the key code to work ok the viewing area.
Alan
We paid a lot of money for the cottage holiday only to be let down by the quality of the furniture ie table chairs leather was peeling of, the window didn't close in the double bedroom, no light on the staircase, we requested a travel cot and high chair which was not there when we arrived it was 3 hours before it was sorted by this time my baby was distressed as we could not put him to bed, the cot arrived about 9.30 pm. We will not be booking future holidays with your company.
Philip
A really comfortable and nicely decorated apartment, in a lovely location on Budle Bay.
Elizabeth
It was a really lovely accommodation in a beautiful location. My nephew loved the fact that there was a Xbox to play on as he doesn't have one at home. The welcome pack was lovely too. You need to activate WiFi calling as mobile signal is very poor.
Helen
Lovely spacious well equipped cottage in a perfect location, great for relaxing after a day of exploring. We explored Holly Island, Berwick on Tweed (and walked the Union Chain bridge into Scotland), Bamburgh, Seahouses and walked part of Hadrianâ??s Wall. Itâ??s so nice to find such a dog friendly property and Northumberland is so dog friendly. Would 100% recommend and will definitely come back here in future
Laura
Stunning location, nice welcome pack and well equipped cottage in general. Great position for accessing the area. Loved Lindisfarne , Bamburgh castle and boat trip to see puffins and seals is exceptional. We struggled with access as was not made clear to use back entrance. Views from upper windows were beautiful but restricted views were restricted by fence. As mentioned in previous review was surprised to be asked to strip beds and vacuum on last day as have never had to do this for any other property before.
Andrew
Excellent value for money wasn't expecting a little welcome pack but lovely views from the windows and out side great location
Keith
The house was in a perfect location, quiet, well equipped and very comfortable. The TV lounge/snug was perfect for cosy nights in. A little more attention to the cleaning of the place but all in all 10/10 would certainly look at booking again
Fay
A fabulous apartment, very comfortable and well equipped. Thank you
Julie
Very comfortable well equipped house. Yes the lounge is dark as no windows but we found it cosy for evenings in front of the TV. It was a Great base for touring the Northumberland coast.
Heather
We had a lovely time in the cottage, very comfortable accommodation, transport essential.
Barbara
Warren Mill is an interesting conversion of the old grain mill, in a beautiful location with stunning views of Budle Bay
Jane
Good area, 5 Minute drive to Bamburgh Castle
