The Boat House Reviews

The Boat house is the best location in Bamburgh. Steps from the beach and everything else within a short walk. The house is very comfortable if a little tired although it was the end of the season. We would be very happy to stay here again.

This is a fabulous location, possibly the best in Bamburgh and that is why we booked. Unfortunately we had not understood "shower over bath" for one bathroom - you cannot shower in this room so eight people were sharing the only stand up shower upstairs in an unventilated room. We devised a rota, like on a campsite. The reviews we read before visiting were critical of the standard of cutlery, crockery and glassware. We shared these views. Our main issue was, however, that the cottage simply was not clean. Poor show.

We had a lovely Weekend in Bamburgh. The location of the property was fantastic with Direct Access to the Beach & Bamburgh only a short walk. However we thought that the property itself was starting to look a little tired & was generally in need of a spruce upâ?¦ We understand that we are getting towards the end of the main season. We feel at this price point we expected a little more. The walls & carpets in places were quite dirty & stained not to mention the cobwebs. Additionally we thought that the check in & out times In 1600 & Out 1000 could be better ie 1500 / 1100 minimum.

A wonderful location and the property is homely and satisfies all our needs.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

This property is in a great location, within v easy walking distance to beach, castle and village with great local walks which is why I think it has a 5* rating. The property itself is certainly not 5*. Kitchen equipment is old and in poor condition- not enough cooking knives and those that are available are so blunt that cutting vegetable is very difficult. Cooking tins, with non stick finish, were flaking and not very user friendly. The cooker dials are so worn that reading temperatures is almost impossible. Curtain hooks were missing making opening and closing curtains difficult, the kitchen blind fell down and we were unable to put it back, cleaning was sub par, we found cobwebs and a t shirt under a bed. All in all this was not a 5* property. It is tired and feels uncared for. We did let the company know all this when we first arrived before posting a review but have had no response.

The location of this property is absolutely knockout. Good sized rooms and facilities. While we have fed back one or two items to the owners that would further enhance guests' stay, this is a rather special holiday let!

Perfect location

Amazing location and nice property. We had fabulous weather so really enjoyed our stay.

The Boathouse at Bamburgh is a great place to stay. The location is perfect - nestled into the sand dunes next to Bamburgh Castle with rear access onto the the amazing Bamburgh Beach. There are four pubs/restaurants in village - we have eaten at three of them and were very happy. The bedrooms are all a nice size with two of them having outstanding views over the beach and to the castle! The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of pots/pans and crockery. The space worked well for our party of seven adults and two dogs - although an extra loo in addition to the ones in the main bathroom and en-suite would have made it perfect. We all had a fabulous week and will definitely be looking to come back again next year.

The location of property is fantastic and stayed here several times. However, this time some issues which detracted from holiday. We took elderly parents and they couldnâ??t watch main channels as tv was faulty, this wasnt fixed despite calling to report. Some of the smaller details like oven gloves, fire wood & glove were missing & issues with hob were disappointing which we havent experienced before.

Could not fault anything about the cottage, it was even better than we imagined, location, quality, comfort and cosiness was faultless. Our biggest compliment would be we would be more than happy to spend the rest of our days there :-) , we will return.

We had a very enjoyable family holiday. The location of the cottage is perfect for both the beach and the village,however property is showing signs of wear and tear and needs some TLC.

Location very good. However cleanliness in house poor in places which detracts from overall appeal

Enjoyed a great week in the property, absolutely everything we needed and in a perfect position for beach fun.

Location was fantastic it was great being able to nip back to the house. The enclosed courtyard meant the kids could be sand free before entering the house.

The cottage is in an amazing setting, nestled among the dunes at the foot of Bamburgh Castle so the location is perfect for the beach but is also only a short stroll to the excellent butchers, three pubs and delis in the village. The road on which the cottage is located is quiet at night although it is very near two beach car parks so there is some traffic during the day. The kitchen was well appointed and the sitting room ideal for us to watch the Euro final. The three double bedrooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable. There were only three of us staying so the cottage was fine for us but be aware that if all the bedrooms are occupied by two people per bedroom then as one bedroom is en suite, it means there will be only one loo available (in the family bathroom) for the remaining occupants of the other three bedrooms.

We love this cottage, it was our third time, we love Bamburgh and have happy family memories across the generations and hope to return.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location. Some things may be a little 'tired' or lacking in places but we managed fine and had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Fantastic location, comfortable house and well equipped.

The Boat House is in a superb location for access to the beach, some lovely walks and is also very handy for the village centre; there is excellent parking at the property. The king size bed downstairs was extremely comfortable, better than my own bed at home. However, I was very disappointed with the state of the barbecue, which was rusty and dirty, as were some of the chairs and the glass table.

A stunning location . We very much enjoyed our stay , though some of the equipment could do with an update

This is a lovely property, in the perfect location. The property is very spacious, warm and comfortable with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. There is easy parking for 3 cars. We will definitely return.

a brilliant position ... good parking ... the youngest member of the party enjoyed the ice and cold water coming from the fridge ... the dogs loved the quick access to the beach ...

Beautiful cottage in a fabulous location. However unfortunate issues with plumbing and lots of dirty cutlery/glasses/ crockery on arrival. Possibly due to same plumbing issues affecting dishwasher as well as kitchen sink

A lovely historic cottage located very close to the beach.

Spacious cottage, ideal location, great views of the beach and glorious Bamburgh castle, loved being so close to the beach.
