These are lovely little rooms for a couple of nights - really nicely decorated and feel really intimate and cosy. The parking is a short walk (pebbles, so roller cases are a bit of a pain) but convenient enough. Property is a short walk from an absolutely beautiful beach.

The best stay

We stayed for a friends wedding, the Garden Rooms are absolutely stunning and were a stones throw from the wedding venue (Newton Hall). The beds were so comfy, the grounds were immaculate and it was a short walk down to the most gorgeous beach! Breakfast was also delicious, we will be back!

Fantastic Hidden Gem

It was amazing, the garden rooms are a hidden gem! The design of the room and bathroom were beautiful huge room. The hot tub was a great added touch! I was very thankful for the soya / oat milk in the fridge for us too. The little path to the joiners arms could have been lite a little better from the road to the static caravans but the pub was great also, food was delicious and breakfast was fantastic, great options. The village and walk to Beach especially with the added sunshine and heat on the Sunday

Room was really comfortable and had everything that was needed. Only downside was cleanliness - there was a dirty coffee cup, dust in corners and lots of cobwebs, hot tub had lots of bits in it and windows were really dirty. Breakfast delivered to the room was a nice touch and we also visited the joiners which was a great pub and not to far away, a sign to the gate at the back of the static site would be useful.

Lovely room, felt very secluded and private despite there being other rooms nearby. Great meal at The Joiners and good breakfast at the hall. Only tiny quibble was that the pillow was far too hard for me. Will definitely book again

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were really disappointed with the quality of this property , having paid c£400 for a night. Internally it felt dated and cheap. There were also a few issues such as the bulb in the bathroom mirror light not working, tv didn't work (probably remote control as when unplugged and replugged in the morning it came on) and a health and safety issue in that an extension cable to the huge Tv placed unceremoniously at the end of the bed, had been run under the mattress. Whilst the area as a whole it obviously lovely the garden rooms are colocated with some really grubby old static caravans which just seemed odd. The best part of our stay was the breakfast at The Joiners which was lovely. All in all not somewhere I would visit again or recommend.

It was lovely place to spend our mini Christmas holiday . We have been surprised the rooms looked better then at the pictures. Was a small kitchen . We could have every night dinning, nice family table. Just missing in the room vase for flowers. The rooms was clean . Everything perfect ! Not far shops for food .

Amazing little getaway!🌟 The lodges are soo spacious, and comfortable. The facilities in them were fab! I loved the decor too. One thing the ad doesn’t mention is that the lodge does have a fridge! (we were worried it didn’t as we brought fridge food with us) Pre-booking the pub down the road is essential for your stay, be that breakfast or an evening meal. When we arrived they only had 9am availability for breakfast the following day and after 8pm for evening reservations.

It was a special treat for my 40th, arrived to a beautiful room and chocolate covered strawberries. Lots of space for a family of 4 and a dog. Beautiful room and added extra of the hot tub. Great coffee, breakfast in the room, comfy beds, all we needed in the room. Only couple of niggles and would've put us off going again but the bathroom smelt and muddy area out past the decking. But excellent stay and will definitely return.

Can’t wait for our next stay

Absolutely brilliant stay. Really can’t fault the cabins at all. Our room was spacious and clean with a lovely view out to Beadnell Bay. Room was fully equipped with fridge, microwave, kettle & toaster as well as lovely toiletries. Breakfast at the Joiners Arms the following morning was great, plenty of choice even for a fussy eater like me. We will be returning soon for another stay.

Magical!

We already can’t wait to go back! Our cabin was beautifully decorated with lots of extra little touches to enjoy. Our garden patio was a sun trap, so sitting outside watching the wild life as the sun went down with the fire and hot tub was a dream. The included breakfast at the Joiners Arms was also lovely, only a short scenic walk away. It felt like a magical, relaxing retreat.

Garden rooms were quirky but the decor is dark & drab. Concrete grey effect walls & ceilings ? Not sure about that Could be very good but needs more attention to detail. The hot tub’s water was minging !!! Reception in the car park for garden rooms is a bit odd. Staff were friendly. Breakfast at sister premises The Joiners Arms was excellent
