Jara Reviews

Richard
Although main bedroom window fixed, toaster replaced and lounge curtains replaced, on arrival no hand soap in both WC's Not very hygienic for when you first arrive before unpacking after 4pm checkin. No logscoal found for the wood burner and no welcome pack, last year it was very much appreciated. We rang both contact numbers but young lady was not helpful and referred us to the booking conditions. Bedding on both twin beds was stained and did not feel clean and fresh. In general house cleaning could be better, pity as cost of stay is not cheap due to it's location.
Jara is a lovely spacious cottage ideal for a family, with a large garden which is great for children and a dog. Fantastic location on the edge of the village with great access to the shops and beach.
Location was fantastic. Great views of Bamburgh and from the garden the countryside. Garden was beautiful. Fully enclosed and well maintained. One of the reasons we booked. Space in the bedrooms is a bit limited but more than made up for by the space downstairs. Television in one bedrooom an unexpected bonus. One of the best equipped kitchens I have come across. Also well stocked with cleaning materials. Dishwasher wasn't working but we were notified of repair date prior to arrival. A good policy. Tumble dryer had a fault half way through stay. This was dealt with promptly. Could do with a new fridge freezer. Should mention that there are adjoining properties not that this affected our stay at all. Would certainly come again.
Michael
Great cottage in perfect location. We plan to return each year now.
A couple of little niggles as per some previous reviews. No bin liners and no blue bin were findable so we had some trouble disposing of rubbish. A recommendation would be to leave one bag of logs on the hearth and a welcome bottle of wine. However the most important fact of any review is would you book it again?. YES,YES and a super resounding YES!!! The house had everything we needed and the location was exceptional. THE best location in the village. So quiet and peaceful.Highland cattle, a horse and sheep and their lambs all just off the very private and very secure, for our french bulldog garden with the spectacular back drop of Bamburgh castle. A 5mins walk to the village pubsrestaurant or the beach. We walked from the property along the beach to seahouses, about 3miles,did a pub crawl of 6 pubs and got a taxi back. A superb relaxing last day option as we had travelled about on 3 of our 5days in Bamburgh. One other message for the owner. If you ever think of selling up please give me a call. Id sell up down south and be up there in a whistle! What a beautiful spot. Im in my 50s and have been all over the UK in holiday cottages for over 30yrs. This and place in Tenby are the only 2 out of 70 or 80 properties Id buy and die in. Thank you for our stay. Chris H. Reading, Berks.
Suzanne
The property was fantastic. We were so pleased that the heating issue was resolved. We did have a very upsetting Boxing day when the agent told us there was an issue. We ended up just coming ourselves 2 of us as our parents are old and we could not risk the chance that the property would be cold. But my husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. It was just a shame that the notice was so close to our departure.
Andrew
Very nice property, extremely convenient for Bamburgh, beach and restaurantspubs. The house is very nicely appointed, ideal for a couple or 2 adults 2 children, I think the single bathroom limits more, unless youre happy sharing facilities. It does need a little tlc, the main bedroom window doesnt work so well needs adjustment , and some new curtain hooks in various locations would be good. Overall a nice stay.
Deborah
We loved the location of the cottage just beneath Bamburgh Castle walls However basic things like no soap in bathrooms or toilets had been highlighted by other guests and still not dealt with Having said that the lounge was very comfortable and the dining room was warm and light. The large garden was great and the patio. We loved walking to the amazing beach and into the village from the house
Richard
Issues reported to Seahouses office and HO during stay. Lovely quiet comfortable property with large private back garden. Sadly issues mentioned let down our holiday experience, but would stay again. The Large toaster STILL not working Previous guest reported and also the large oven grill also not working. Electrician arrived and confirmed both not working 20924. Attention to cleaning oven trays still thick with fat, cobwebs behind lounge curtains and repair many hooks. Blue recycle bin FULL on arrival, HO arranged to be emptied on Friday 20924. Would be very helpful if a luggage trolley or similar were available to carry luggage and provisions etc.. from our vehicles along the long path, through two gates into the rear sun lounge, especially when raining. Customers expect all amenities listed and provided for the cost of the stay to be working, and should be checked between bookings. Holiday stays are for relaxing, not worrying about having to report things not working.
Toaster was dead no hand soap no bread knife Some kitchen lights not working Cobwebs and dead spiders Dirty windows Smell of drains upstairs LOg stove not clean Mould in shower Loose toilet seat Good points. ..spacious, light and bright, great location
Lovely cottage, very well situated and excellent garden for dogs very secure. Fabulous view of the castle. The cottage is deceptively big downstairs and the kitchen is well equipped. A couple of minor points the floors were not very clean on our arrival, particularly around the ding table and cobwebsdust in corners of kitchen, lounge and diningroom. Also the window in main bedroom could not be properly closed. It should be a tiltopen window but would not close properly at bottom right corner. Would return to this cottage comfortable & great location.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for providing such a wonderful holiday property. Myself and my family had the best week away staying at your property, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way. The location is stunning, and the property itself is just beautiful and so wellequippedit truly felt like a home away from home. There were a couple of small issues and observations that I reported during our stay. I believe it's important to share feedback to ensure the owner is aware so they can address these matters as necessary. However, these minor points in no way detracted from our overall fantastic experience. Thank you again for such a memorable stay. We hope to return in the future!
Richard
A lovely large house with a large garden in a perfect location. We were a family of six visiting for two nights and we had way more space than we expected. Bamburgh is just a few minutes walk round the corner and the castle and sand dunes across the road. Highly recommended and we'll be back
A very comfortable, spacious and wellequipped property. Having a private, enclosed garden which is not overlooked is fabulous. The pubs and shops of Bamburgh are 2 minutes walk away. We have been visiting Northumberland for many years and this is our new favourite property.
We had a wonderful stay in the cottage. It was warm and cozy with comfortable beds and lovely fresh bedding. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you possibly need for cooking. We loved the private garden and the sun trap patio. Eating in the cosy conservatory with views of highland cows, rapeseed fields and a beautiful white horse was delightful. The location was perfect right next to Bamburgh Castle with the beach on our doorstep. We didnt want to leave!
Jara is a fantastic cottage in a wonderful location. It is ideally situated for the beach, Bamburgh Castle and the village itself. The garden is lovely and enclosed. The cottage itself is very well equipped and is a spacious cottage so their is room for all the family to spread out.
Lovely property ideally situated for beach and village. Perfect for families.
Lovely location. .....
We love Jara. It&39s in a fantastic location and the garden is lovely and perfect for a competitive game of boules! The cottage is spacious and very well equipped and has a lovely atmosphere.
Everything you could need was provided.
Bright large downstairs. Warm with a lovely garden nice cottage good attention to detail.
Jara is a superb property. It was our second visit and we had a lovely time. The cottage is very well equipped even down to kitchen foil, freezer bags and cling film all things you need but forget to take. Lovely a clean and the added extras like a vast DVD collection, games and a posh coffee machine what a treat!
