Church View Reviews

Very disappointing. Very overpriced.The property is manged by the external company. Coincidental furnitures, gathering of weird items objects. It is advertised as house but in fact it is a flat, moreover apparently dog friendly but no garden court yard. The flat is tired needs TLC and urgent investment. Building itself if of putting. Unpleasant smell downstairs shower head keeps dropping while showering, one toilet roll left for 7 days, no laundry liquid but dishwater tablets appreciated. No telly in the bedroom. Below average standards gives you the impression that people behind dont care. Otherwise Northumberland is a wonderful destination.
Generally an OK stay. Heating was on, which was great as cold weather expected in March. Everything neceessary, provided for a short or long stay. Good location for village facilities. However, parking would be an issue when busy. Furniture could be updated as settee covering disintegrating. Bath plug does not seal well.
Monica
A small bed side table in little bedroom would be useful. A bigger washing up liquid useful too. We had a great stay in comfortable and fantastic location for beach and castle.
Perfect location and bigger than expected. Seating in lounge not the most comfortable but sufficient. Loved the fully equipped kitchen with massive oven although took a while to work out how to switch it on! Welcome pack would have been nice even if just a pint of milk as shops are few and far between in Bamburgh. Couldnt find bin bays as per instructions and only ones we found were full so unable to take rubbish out before we left. Very enjoyable stay for new year.
Ideal location next to Potted Lobster and Bamburgh's other pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops. Plenty of parking on road or behind the property. Apartment very well maintained even allowing for small cobwebs behind the bathroom door!, and washing up tea and coffee provisions provided in the good sized, modern kitchen. Hand wash not provided in the bathroom, which would be the only area for improvement. Would definitely stay there again when looking for another short break in Bamburgh.

The flat was just like being home from home bed very comfortable it had every thing you would need and more also it was spotless we had a lovely time beautiful country side and Bamburgh castle was amazing and beautiful sandy beaches would definitely use the flat again
Denise
Great location and on road parking very easy, good instructions regarding the key box and lovely welcome pack with tea coffee biscuits & milk Couple of things dirty underwearsocks in top drawer in single bedroom Ceiling light in double bedroom didnt work and only one bedside lamp in room on which the plug was held together with tape ! ! Otherwise everything great. Thanks
William
My wife, daughter, Labrador and I had a terrific break at Church View in the week before Easter. The apartment was very well equipped with everything we needed, and everything worked exactly as it should. The weather was variable but we made the best of it including trips to the historic church, castle, Holy Island and Seahouses for a boat trip to the Farne Islands. The only challenge was the parking, especially on a sunny weekend when Bamburgh was incredibly busy, so a good tip for anyone planning a visit is to research days out that do not need a car so that you can leave your car parked up safely with no nightmare on your return if you use it to go somewhere. This could include walking south along the beach to Seahouses, walking northwest to Belford, catching the bus to Alnwick best second hand bookshop in the World with a wonderful caf or the bus up to Berwick lots of shopping and history. You can also get to Holy Island by bus but you do need to change so perhaps a car is preferable. Bamburgh beach is also stunning and walkable from the apartment. We dined one evening in the Victoria which we found to be friendly and not quite as expensive as the other hostelries within walking distance. If as is likely you are arriving by car, a good tip is to visit a big supermarket on the way because local options are few and far between there is a coop in Seahouses, but which also comes with awkward parking.

Had a wonderful stay and loved the flat and vicinity. Would definitely go back and have recommended it to other people. Kath and Alex
William
Our second stay at Church View and would definitely stay again. Two small areas to improve on would be new pans and sharper knives and the shower would definitely benefit from an increase in power. Everything else was perfect, its location is perfect for the village and beach access. Parking wasnt too much of an issue. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property.
Spacious cosy apartment. We had everything we needed and more for our stay. Perfectly located in the centre of the village with plenty of on street free parking opposite the property. Would highly recommend.
Stephen
Excellent flat, clean and tidy and right in the middle of Bamburgh
My friend and I were pleasantly surprised by this flat, being right in the village of Bamburgh. I appreciated being able to bring my dog and not being charged for him. It offered everything we needed. I had the single bed which had noisy springs and wasn't the best, but I slept so not complaining. We would go back if we had the chance. It had the best location for touring Northumbria. Thank you
Excellent, thoroughly enjoyed, had not planned to cook all week but with great kitchen facilities ended up cooking a few evenings! ! Only prob was leak under kitchen sink discovered on second morning and had to empty some putrid water. All in all would return. Thank you. Kevin Golden
Richard
Great location and facilities. Everything is well provided . The bath plug needs sorting though it doesn't retain the water in the bath Will be going back asap . ,
Great location apart from lack of parking which as many people have said is ok once you get used to using the road which is easy during off peak times. Nice clean apartment with good kitchen. Only slight niggle was the bath wouldn't hold water so could only use shower only.
This is a lovely well located apartment, walking distance to Bamburgh castle, good pubs and an amazing beach, the only thing letting it down is the shower, its not powerful enough! But immaculate, room enough for two people and a dog.
Well located, clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed in main bedroom but the bed in the second bedroom was anwful soft and lumpy mattress. Ended up sleeping on the sofa! Parking on street outside not a problem in mid November. Bathroom has some staining in one corner of the ceiling. The bath is basically useless you only get 10cm of water before the hot water runs out a bit pointless having a bath. The shower is also very feeble.
The property is really well located, very clean with a good selection of everything you need in the kitchen. Parking is easy to find outside on the street. We really enjoyed our stay. Couple of comments on the property condition The bathroom has a leak due to a blocked gutter and I think a couple of roof tiles that have lifted, this is causing water to penetrate, staining of the plasterwork and flaking paint. This problem is easily solved, if left it will cost the owner more. The bulb has gone in the fire in the living room, again easily fixed.
William
Lovely setting and everything we could have wished for in the cottage. WiFi doesnt work and although reported twice no one came to fix. Not a deal breaker but poor customer service on this occasion. In saying the above we will be rebooking for next year.
Lorraine
Great place to stay
Malcolm
We found the property to be as we expected. Clean, fresh and well maintained despite previous comments in the visitors book. Nicely situated for walking round Bamburgh and the castle. Parking was not a problem. We would certainly go there again.
Judith
A lovely property, very cosy and clean. Only downside was saying it had wifi when the wifi code didnt work. This has also been mentioned in previous reviews.
Jonathan
Nice apartment let down by no Internet, was promised it would be back on after one day but off all week.
We recently stayed two nights at Church View Paying what we felt was a premium price. Almost 500 While we can not doubt the location of the apartment There were a few disappointing aspects The WIFi did not work for the duration of our stay, despite three calls to the helpline and reassurances from the agent, it was not could not be reconnected. The decor is tired and shabby in places The parking is off street, across the road., my car was clipped overnight The loo was not as clean as it could be The sofa pleather is cracked and broken in places Such a shame Bamburgh is such a beautiful place and what a wonderful asset the owners have .
Perfect 1st floor flat to visit Bamburgh and around.
Stephen
The church view property was very clean and the facilities were adequate, on the down side the toilet seat didnt fit and moved when used. The parking situation was disappointing with the double yellow lines opposite the property, off road parking was a problem.
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and it didn&39t disappoint Very clean and cosy, home from home feel with everything we needed for a lovely holiday.
