Host & Stay | Cheviot View — Guest Reviews

Lovely stay in Seahouses. Just a short walk to the Main Street and short drive to Bamborugh Castle. Although the house was at the end of a cup de sac and near other houses it was a corner pot looking on to fields so felt quiet and peaceful. The large conservatory was warm and cosy and meant the adults had a place to convene as the children watched movies in another room.

Very enjoyable stay, despite the issues with the heating. Would recommend to families or groups. Positive: Great location and lovely house for our group of 8. Fantatstic place to look up at the Stars after dark. Negative: Problems with the Heating on arrival around 18.20. Reported this to the Management Company who were not very good at keeping us informed. They said they would report the issue and try to get someone out to the House the following morning. As we had a 4 year old and an 86 year old in our party, I informed them that this was not acceptable. Had to chase up a further 2 times due to no feedback. There was also a smell of oil in the house as we were told that the Boiler issue had been addressed and sorted out in the morning. Eventually the Owner contacted us, and whilst we had to use portable radiators in the evening, an engineer visited the next morning. Further issue: we returned home on Monday and I received a call on Tuesday afternoon from the management company to inform me that an engineer would be coming on Wednesday !!

Family weekend We had a good weekend in Seahouses. The property was fine for our requirements, and Seahouses is a great place to visit.

What a beautiful home and surroundings . The beds were comfy . There were some toys and games which my son loved. Only thing I would really change would be the amount of pictures on the wall. They were not only very dated but a little too much as there was so many . The children were a little scared of some of them but this is just a preference. We felt at home and comfortable

Very nice property for families with a lovely location overlooking fields and Bamburgh through the trees. Looks just like the pictures. We felt the £200 cleaning fee on top just pushed this out of the ‘good for money’ bracket without this we felt good value. Beds and linen were clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed staying here, particularly the kids, and felt the location was perfect for accessing locations such as Bamburgh, Craster, Embleton and Alnwick.

Family holiday We were 6 adults & 4 children ages 5-11 yrs The property was ideal for us & easy distance to lots of places to visit. In a lovely quiet neighbourhood & country field views. It was clean, & had everything we needed for the week. Everyone loved it. Loved the area & hope to visit again in the future. Thank you all! 😍👍

We had a great few days at Cheviot View. The house is spacious and looks over the countryside from two aspects. It is an easy 20 mins walk to the beach, with pavements all the way. Plenty of room for a family of six. Whilst in the area, don’t miss Alnwick Castle. The ticket allows for repeat entry for a year - usually a gimmick, but with all the activities we easily filled two days making it excellent value for money.

A lovely house to stay in. Plenty of room (we were a party of 4 adults and 5 children). Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils/crockery/glasses etc. Bed linen and towels were provided. We loved our stay and would stay at this property again.

Fantastic stay with extended family in this spacious , comfortable house in a excellent location.

Lovely property, decor could do with modernising. Positive: lovely sun room, lovely master bedroom, stunning views. good base for exploring the area. Great that a couple of buckets and spades were int he garage to take to the beach. Negative: The kitchen was dark and old fashioned, the living room decor is also a old fashioned. The glass doors hadn’t been cleaned and it looked a bit grotty. The bins were overflowing outside and the birds had made a mess all over the front garden.

It was ok, Negative: No ovenglove, 4 wine glasses for 10 people, decking inf a poor state of repair dangerous . Water feature got stagnant green water in it No tea towels Next to No outside seating.mai fridge in a sorry state been numerous repairs on it Curtain hanging off and house could be cleaner Needs new frying pan its disgusting Had to wash all the cutlery in drawer not clean

Lovely house and great location. 9 of us stayed and plenty of space and great views. Was surprised as expected an older house due to decor, however it was a modern house decorated in older style. Would stay there again

A very comfortable, roomy and well appointed house on a very quiet and pleasant location Positive: Well appointed rooms with provision of shower gel/ toiletries in bathrooms a bonus . Excellent location - very quiet at end of cul de sac and conservatory ideal place to relax Negative: Only problem I experienced was that the electric hob seemed difficult to work and required some pretty solid pressure to start it. Would have appreciated guidance what to do with glass bottles as there appears to be no kerbside collection (leave them in garage/kitchen? I found a bottle bank in Seahouses but not everyone would bother! Would have appreciated two keys for the front door - as a party of nine doing varied activities it was a bind checking who would be out last !

A really comfortable and relaxing break. Positive: It was a lovely location, very easy to get to places of interest. We saw hares and deer from the window which the young children with us loved. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Great location on the edge of the countryside. Nice and spacious. Clean bathrooms and bedrooms. Nice big garage space for toddlers to play with scooters/bikes. Main street walkable distance.

We loved being in the sun room - great views out over the fields. Felt spacious and a good number of bathrooms to cater for a large group. Good base for exploring the Northumberland coast!!

Positive: The conservatory was lovely Lovely views Not far to seahouses Able to store bikes in garage Washing machine Negative: Few minor repairs needed. Lack of bedside lights in some bedrooms.

The previous guests left a terrible mess. The owner was lovely, but the cleaner was reluctant to put things right. Ultimately someone else came to sort it out, but it wasn’t the start to the holiday we had hoped for. We found previous guests dirty towels in a bedside table. It seems that the property only gets a superficial clean between guests.

Excellent location, very nice house. Had an amazing couple of days.

Perfect spot just at the edge of Seahouses. Loads of space; sunroom was terrific for large groups. Really appreciate an excellent stay with our big family. Lovely.

This was a large house with plenty of space for a family of 6. The house information could not down load and we realised it would have contained useful information that we just couldn’t access. No one was able to sort this out for us despite numerous contact from us. The decor is outdated and the fridge in the kitchen had no shelving which was frustrating. 2 of the wooden chairs at the table also needed fixing so we couldn’t use them. Overall, this house was fine as a base and we loved exploring Northumberland from here.

We were part of a group of eight golfers. Five staying at this accommodation and three at another. Very private estate - good garden - off street parking for two cars or a mini-bus in our case. We all had separate rooms - all roomy - all comfortable beds - the Master was huge with a balcony. Ticked all the boxes. Quiet location looking out onto fields as described. Easy access to Seahouses 3 mins / Bamburgh 7mins - good Restaurants. Golf- Good base for about six courses three within 10mins - Goswick just 20mins away - Alnmouth about 30 mins. Fabulous facilities for eating in. As we had great weather this could have been an option. Would recommend to a group or family. However a car is also recommended.

Lovely house and perfect location. Would book again if/when appliances are brought up to date. Positive: Perfect location and space for the whole family. Negative: Dated decor, furniture and appliances. No physical guide book and no clear message regarding waste and recycling.

Wonderful space for a big group. Positive: Fantastic layout. Lots of room for everyone and people could sit n different rooms for space and quiet. Negative: Oven did not work. One of our group was allergic to feathers and all the lounge seats had feather cushions unfortunately.

Had a very pleasurable stay here. Ideal location for what we had planned. The online house manual link wasn’t working but the host was available and responded in great time with all queries we had re WiFi, check out, bins etc. Would recommend this property if wanting a peaceful location. Also really reasonable distance if planning on visiting the Farne Islands / Holy Island and want a peaceful location just outside Seahouses

I wouldn’t say host and stay is an appropriate name for this place. The kitchen and set up isn’t suitable for hosting (not for 9 people anyway). It was a nice quiet house with lovely views but it didn’t feel it has been thought out properly to comfortably host 9 people (only tea and coffee for 4 people, no salt, pepper etc). If you wanted somewhere just to sleep within walking distance of Seahouses this is ideal but I wouldn’t book it if you’re planning to cook for lots of people like I’d hoped to. The house could be cleaner and the garage either needs emptied out or access blocked because it houses the fridge and freezer but also a load of stuff unrelated to the air bnb. The host responds quickly but it felt like there were teething issues (maybe it’s a new property/ they’re new to hosting?)

It’s nice place and nice location.really liked the pleasant view

Positive: There was ample room for us all. The view was lovely just farmers fields as far as we could see. Lots of sheep, lambs and rabbits at this time of the year. We could also see Bamburgh lit up from the conservatory in the evening. There was plenty of cooking untesils, pots and pans. Plenty of bathrooms and hot water so we could all use the showers.

Will never book with host and stay again Negative: Despite being charged £200 for cleaning the bathrooms were dirty the small fridge in the kitchen only had one shelf and there were no shelves in the door although there is another larger fridge/freezer in the garage. The two end chairs in the dining room are dangerous as the arms are loose. The bathroom downstairs does not have a shower curtain which means if you want a shower someone has to hold the shower hose as there is no hook for it.

The place was excellent house, surroundings etc no issues. We had problems with door to garage which wouldn't unlocl and all our food was in the fridge freezer in garage. Stay were not helpful and asked ys to go hunting for a spare key. We had to get it sorted ourselves which ruined nearly half a day of our weekend. Will not use stay again

The house was wide and tidy. It is located in a small town where there are several activities such as, taking a trip in the sea to number of islands. Also, there is a lovely centre there.

Enjoyed the views and the local beaches Positive: The sun-lounge room gave us a good comfortable space to be together and a great view of the local countryside. The rooms were clean and tidy Negative: They seem be a little stingy on things. One toilet room per bathroom only. One dish-clothe. One tea-towel. Bath towels - but no hand-towels. No oven-gloves.

Positive: Lovely views from the house. We were able to walk from the house and leave the cars behind. Beds were comfortable and really enjoyed the large sunroom.

Positive: Size of accommodation and the area

Lovely property, great location, very peaceful and quiet, lovely big home would book this place again. barry

We had a nice stay and loved the place. Lots of space, easy to park and well fitted kitchen. The only problem was that internet wasn't working when we arrived, but we contacted the host and they fixed it the following day.

Overall, the property was nice and set in a quiet location with lovely views. Although the kitchen isn’t great in terms of size compared to the number of people that it can host. It generally looked clean but could be cleaner, lots of dust and bits under furnishings. Our big issue when we arrived was it was freezing cold inside the house and soon discovered the heating was not working. Although someone came out that night, they couldn’t start the boiler. Fortunately someone came the following day and replaced a broken part enabling us to finally warm the house up. Why the heating had not been checked before our arrival we never got an answer to. This led to some appalling customer service and communication from Host and Stay as we tried to claim a partial refund for our disruption. A process that is still going on weeks after our stay. Even Airbnb who we booked it via. failed to get a response from them.

Great location short walk from town. Property is spacious with lovely outlook over fields. Decor could do with updating. Overall enjoyed our stay.

Positive: spacious house, good location, fabulous views.

had a great stay will definitely return Positive: spacious, local to seahouses and views Negative: nothing very happy with our stay

well positioned to tour north. Positive: everything we needed . comfortable Negative: need recycling bin for glas separate cleaning supplies for for bathrooms

Perfect house for gathering with friends! Well-equipped within walking distance of Seahouses with stunning views of surrounding fields and the Cheviots. Beautiful sun room. Would absolutely stay again.
