Grey Heron at Heather Cottages Reviews

Not the same to show on site, cant see around as they have put up new lodges around and blocked the view, very noisy with building work going on. We were very unhappy as cant relaxed.
Katherine
Lovely lodge in the perfect setting very close to the beach. We were very lucky as had great weather and lots of interesting places to visit close by.
Lovely lodge, but needs shelves in bathroom and ensuite for toiletries, etc. . The patio door packed in on us, but we cant blame anyone for that. Kitchen very well equipped. Easy access to idyllic bay and beach.
The accommodation was warm and comfortable. There are a couple of things which would make a stay here even better. 1. The welcome pack was good, but there was no means of cooking oil, salt, pepper just the basics would be good, especially as you're a long way from a shop. The kitchen knives were beyond blunt please either sharpen or replace! 2. A shelf in the en suite would be useful there's nowhere to put products apart from the floor not ideal. 3. We stripped the bed linen as requested, and some of the pillow protectors were grubby and stained yellow.
Robert
We have stayed a few times in the area so knew where we had booked but obviously not been inside the property so were looking forward to being so close to the bay itself. Whilst the position of the property was excellent there is clearly a lack of maintenance both inside and outside the surrounding area of the lodge which is a shame. Cleanliness was lacking somewhat with dirty pans in the cupboard, mould in the bathrooms and generally needing a decent deep clean. Pans needed replacing and cutlery all mismatched and really blunt knives in the block with no sharpener provided so whilst we enjoyed our stay we would not necessarily revisit the specific lodge however with a little time and effort by the owners this could all be easily rectified.
Excellent accommodation situated metres away from beautiful beach. We stayed in Godwit cottage last year and brought the family this year to experience a holiday in Budle Bay. They loved it!
Great location and the lodge was very comfortable and warm . All the facilities were very adequate and the owners had thought of everything and that included a lovely Christmas hamper We didn&rsquot want to come home.
Lovely lodge and location with stunning views. Well worth exploring beyond the local area.
Lovely cosy cabin great place to unwind.
A warm and cosy log cabin on a quiet site. A short walk through the dunes to a beautiful white sandy beach. The cabin is well equipped and to a good standard. We had four lovely nights there and felt safe and relaxed.
