Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention the property's cleanliness, with reports of clean towels, beds, and a well-maintained environment. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The cottage's location is frequently highlighted as ideal, with its proximity to beaches, local shops, restaurants, and attractions like Bamburgh Castle. The ease of access to Seahouses' amenities is a clear advantage.
Comfort is a strong point for Dinguardi, with guests finding the beds super comfy and the property cosy and warm. However, one mention of a bed sagging in the middle suggests a potential area for improvement.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and quality accessories. However, some guests noted the absence of wood for the fire and a suggestion for a clothes airer, indicating room for minor enhancements.
The property owners are commended for their thoughtfulness, providing a well-equipped cottage and responding to feedback about providing an airer. While a welcome hamper was missed by a repeat guest, it's understood that such gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed.

Everything you could possibly need for long or short stay. Location is fantastic a few minutes from the harbour. Excellent selection of family games to entertain children in the evening. I would highly recommend and wouldnât hesitate to return.

Property is spacious with well equipped and quality accessories in the kitchen. Great location, with easy access to the centre of Seahouses and the bus stop at the top of the road. Only negative would be the lack of onsite parking.
