Samphire Cottage

Reviews

Overall our stay was lovely. Not really ideal for a dogs as shared outdoor area with no grass. The pub opposite was a little noisy. The cottage is very well equiped but armchairs very uncomfortable. The area is stunning with plenty of walks. Most cafes and pubs dog friendly.

Lovely cottage in excellent location a few steps away from harbour and pub (can be some noise on weekends, but didn’t bother us in January) and short walk to local Co-op and shops. Cottage is well equipped but not many basic provisions for cooking (tea, decaf coffee, sugar, salt and pepper provided).

Beautiful cottage. Loved everything especially the wood burner. Beds were very comfortable and clean. Loved the reclining chairs and all the wall art throughout the property. Location perfect and got parked outside address no bother.

Pretty cottage, very conveniently situated.

Lovely cottage right in the middle of Seahouses. On street parking may be an issue but we parked outside 90% of the time. Pub across the road but this wasn’t any bother.Cottage is tastefully decorated with a homely feel. Good facilities within. We were a family with a dog and this was a good choice for us and we would stay again.

Pros Really spacious & beautifully presented cottage Very clean & tidy & very close to the harbour & town centre Wood burner very useful, despite going in July! Very comfy bed in main bedroom Cons Parking is restricted & is on a first come first served basis. We managed to park our car on arrival, but there seems to be a lot of competition for spaces on this quiet road, with some people finding no spaces when returning from a day out There appeared to be no outside seating area designated to the property as advertised & indeed the outside area was very small & untidy. No basics like hand soap, shower gel, dishcloths were provided, so you need to bring these with you

Lovely well decorated cottage and great that some logs are supplied but there are no instructions re the house so s bins not put out also no instructions on the hob which is difficult to work out if you are not used to convection hobs. The water pressure in the property is incredibly low and just dribbles out

Excellent cottage, with excellent facilities, in a wonderful seaside village. Extremely clean, absolutely spotless. Superb beds, and the biggest bath I’ve ever seen. Olympic sized in fact! We wouldn’t hesitate to return, and cannot recommend highly enough.

Nothing to say here

This is genuinely a lovely cottage which I'm sad to see is up for sale; this is our second stay here. There are a few improvements I'd make, such as more cutlery and a better selection of glasses and oven dishes, but these are really minor details, and if not heeded would not spoil your stay. The location is FABULOUS but comes with a draw back over the parking, some of which was most, most inconsiderate from others who were also on holiday. I think a "please leave space for residents of Samphire Cottage" sign, in the window, would not go a miss, although equally that would not be mandatory to abide by, but it really has been quite tricky at times. Would I stay here again? Yes, in a heartbeat. Is there room for improvement? I do think so. I do hope that any sale of this property still allows for a holiday let. It's genuinely lovely, and superbly placed, and we would absolutely go back. The communication from Original Cottages was also very good, but please allow for a 10:30 vacation of the property?

Lovely cottage. Great location. Good places for food around to take dogs. Just to note there is no where to let dog out for toilet without going with them on lead to just bear in mind, it is enclosed yard but it is shared and signs of no dogs in some areas of it. The pub next to the property can be a little noisy till midnight at a weekend but not dreadful. Good value for money. Tasteful decor which is homely and well equipped. Beds are amazingly comfortable!!

Samphire Cottage is a beautiful little place and is well placed a stones throw from the harbour and town village centre. It is opposite 2 pubs whose patrons parked outside the cottage at times whilst we were there and I feel that this could be an issue in the high season so definitely something to be aware of. There is no coffee machine which I know is not essential however would be a nice addition for those coffee snobs amongst us. The kitchen is otherwise lovely and well equipped with everything you would need. Dog owners need to be aware that the shared courtyard is not really dog friendly. You cannot just let them out to do their deeds as there are signs that other cottage owners have placed. This had a negative impact on us and we would not have booked had we known this. The two leather recliners were great and we channelled our inner Chandler & Joey on a couple of occasions which was a source of great amusement!! Best beach is Beadnell a couple of miles away it's great for the woofs too!

We stayed for a long weekend and had the most enjoyable stay. The cottage was very cosy, we loved the wood fire. It’s in a fantastic location with lots of walks along the beach and dog friendly restaurants and pubs within five minutes. We will definitely be back!
