We loved staying here...Vanessa was lovely, the clever way she did breakfast so we could choose when we had it, the comfy room and bed...the great taxi service to Seahouses, the fact the we were left alone to enjoy our few days...all combined to make the 3 nights we stayed wonderful, and we will definitly be back!

Not a great smell

We didn't have an issue with the cleanliness. Our biggest issue was the horrible smell in the house. This was especially true in the downstairs hall area. We found it very off-putting.

Shambles

Est House is a shambles. Skirting Boards, Window Sills, shelves were in need of a good scrub.Ingrained dirt in all the corners..The shower was not fit to use.. The only redeeming feature was, the bed was clean...Not to be recommended.

Farm House

Owner Venessa is very welcoming and accomadating. I am a solo traveller and this time brought my bicycle along. Previously had been staying in Beadnell and with one phone call away I was able to check in with my bike and bags. Farmhouse is on direct route from Beadnell or Chathill and easy to access. Check out Low Newton by the sea..a short ride or drive away. Beautiful clear water and white soft sands. Seahouses nearby for shopping eating drinking out lets and Farne island trips! Room was comfortable and homely. As no one else was staying at the time I was , I was given access to the upstairs landing and bathroom. Highlight a bath too! Guest area is clean and comfortable guests are given everything needed. Clean bedding and towels. Cereal for the morning and fridge to keep items in. One of the house rules. No eating in the room and to eat in the sunroom provided.

Excellent place just outside Beadnell.

East House is a lovely old property. We had a large room with a great view across farm fields (there were cows!), and the sea, you could also see Dunstanburgh castle in the distance. The host was really welcoming and friendly. Despite what it says in the description the beds are fully made up and there is a good supply of towels in the bathroom so you don’t need to bring sheets etc. nice touches in the room included a kettle, coffee, fresh milk, cereals, biscuits, shampoo, hair conditioner, soap etc. There is also a small fridge on the landing where you can store drinks and snacks. Definitely recommend this place, intend to stay again.

Golf trip stay over.

Nice and quiet location with lovely countryside views (sea in the distance). Breakfast is basically some cereal left outside your door. Shower is a mixer tap in the bath. Little headroom fir anyone talker than 5ft. Generally a bit tatty around the edges. Dirty porch and messy garden. Car parking awkward. Owners dogs do bark at times.

Requires improvement

Nice area and close by to popular site seeing areas. However, there was no heating at all throughout the property so it was extremely cold, especially during the night. Could improve on the cleaning, no service of rooms during the day to replenish anything used. Only breakfast available is cereal outside the rooms but no dining area to eat it. Could not see any smoke alarms upstairs or in the room which is worrying.

Take note ! After booking the room we read in the additional information from Booking that bedlinen and towels were not included, which caused us extral cost in purchasing these before arrival at East House. However, on arrival we were informed by the landlady that it was a mistake in the description, and towels and bedlinen were indeed included. Please update the Booking description to avoid additional costs and inconvenience for other guests. OK restaurant in the village about a mile away.
