Host & Stay | Ocean Pearl — Guest Reviews

Unfortunately my husband was ill, we spent a day in A&E and then went home early. Positive: Nice clean accommodation in the centre of town Negative: the property needed more seating. 1 settee and 2 wooden stools is not adequate, even for 2. We had a friend drop in. We either sat in a row on the settee or two sat on the settee and one on a hard wood stool. There was room for another arm chair in the living room and chairs in the bedroom to put clothes on at nght.

Just right for short break for two The apartment is tucked away beheind a row of shops but we found it very quiet. It is convenient to walk to all the shops and restaurants in town which are very close by. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. I've found self-catering accomodation for two people hard to come by outside cities so this was a find.

Centre of the town, everything on the doorstep literally! Easy parking and access. We're regular visitors to this town and the area, generally twice a year. For this trip, due to a temporary disability, being on the ground floor was ideal, the size and facilities were perfect. Good value for the price

Lovely, clean flat with a spacious bathroom and plenty of living space for us and baby. Great location in that it is very easy to get out and about into Seahouses.

Beautiful little apartment centrally located for lovely shops and restaurants. The Indian brasserie is well worth a visit as the food was delicious but for lunch and dinner our favourite was the swan inn. Our only moan would be that it would probably be a good idea to have a safety mat in the shower as the base was quite sloppy and a shower shelf for shampoo etc would have been handy. All in all a fab stay in a beautiful little fishing village and highly recommended

Good value for Positive: Good location in centre - with parking Negative: No issues

Excellent and clean accommodation. Ideal location for exploring Northumbrian coastline. Very comfy sofa and bed. Had everything we needed for our stay at a reasonable price. Although there was no sea view, this didn’t bother us as it was such a short walk to the coastline anyway. We would definitely come back.

Great little bolthole! Clean, tidy & compact - perfect for my needs. Centrally located in Seahouses so really handy too. Kitchen was well equipped, bed was comfy - very happy with my choice. Would definitely book again

Great property, clean and good facilities. Perfect for couples, well situated to visit and explore Northumberland.We arrived after dark and found it a bit tricky to locate the actual property. We called and received help immediately although the incorrect photo was held of the front door. A more accurate description of the outside would help if arriving when dark.Enjoyed our stay and perfect for the time we were there. The parking space was ideally situated immediately.Seahouses is a lovely place to stay.

Could do with curtains in the bedroom as lights coming in from lights outside ruins your sleep.

Perfect for a relaxing time away Positive: Everything. It is based right in the middle of seahouses which is perfect if you want to have a stroll around at any time of the day or even pop to the shop. My family and i live 20 minutes away from seahouses however my boyfriend was staying so it was a choice to stay at these apartments. They were so clean and cosy, got everything you need for even a long stay and the staff were so kind our whole visit. Negative: Nothing, it was absolutely spectacular

Great place to stay. Would recommend

Very comfortable and great location Positive: We had a great stay in Ocean Pearl and have enjoyed exploring the area - we absolutely need to come back to this area and will definitely look at for future visits Negative: Indian restaurant across the parking area is a bit noisy so ear plugs might be a good idea

The property was well situated in Seahouses convenient for every amenity. It was well kept and clean and we will certainly stay again in the future

Property was very clean, kitchen had all relevant equipment. Bathroom was clean and modern. Central for Seahouses and coast.On the downside the showe was slippy and a mat would have been appreciated.

Positive: All good would stay again

Bed mattress needs replacing immediately, very very uncomfortable, sags so much you feel as if you are falling out and no springs are left. Host has not installed bedroom curtains despite other visitor complaints - security light in car park shines through the blinds. Missing bedside lamp bulb in one of the two lamps. No front door mat inside or out so when rains nowhere to wipe your shoes. There is room to add a bistro table and chairs but as pics show there isn't one. Should add a table lamp or freestanding lamp so don't have to sit in the dark or under glaring spot lights. Frying pan has seen better days as is peeling. Bring all your own cooking condiments, no cooking oils, only salt and pepper provided. No sponges or dishes stand on the draining board, so have to use the dishwasher regardless of amount of washing up. Adding a small TV in the bedroom would be a nice touch. Car parking OK, have a big car and no problems once you start using.

Well positioned stay in Seahouses Positive: The inside of the property is a great use of the space. Kitchen/living room a good size. With everything you need (although I would take your own corkscrew, as the one provided is cheap, flimsy and difficult to use). The bedroom is a good size with a large buit in wardrobe. The ensuite bathroom is huge with a large shower. The views are a large public car park (good for people watching) the front looks ove the rear of the Indian restaurant on Main Street. Surprisingly we weren't bothered by any smells from the restaurant kitchen. A big plus is the parking space outside the front door. The apartment is very quiet. The position is very good being in the middle of Seahouses so is within walking distance of everything. The bus stops toward Newcastle and Berwick (and stops in between) are just around the corner. Negative: No table lamp in the living room (there was a broken one in the cupboard). The knives in the knife block are all blunt.

Perfect location for everything you would want/need in Seahouses. Lovely little flat for a couple, very clean, excellent facilities and a parking space.

Great location Positive: Location great, comfy. Negative: Shower needed shower mat found it very slippy trying to get out. WiFi was very poor it was buffering all the time on TV and our phones, and being EE was surprised. Dirty pots and cutlery

Clean and modern Central location Easy access to property Lovely bathroom Well equipped Parking space

Very convenient for walking to Co-op (45 secs), The Old Ship and Fish & Chip emporia - Lewis's the best by far (2-4 mins), Billy Shiel's on the quay (5 mins) and centrally located for exploring Berwick, Bamburgh, Farne Islands, Lindisfarne, Warkworth, Alnwick, Alnmouth and the beaches.

The apartment was a good size and conveniently located. We were a bit disappointed in the performance of the washer/dryer unit (did not work well for us), but otherwise the place was tidy, roomy, and comfortable. I would recommend this to others needing a home base for a trip to the Farne Islands.

The acess to the property is by a rather narrow passageway but good to have a designated parking place. We were very lucky to have wonderful weather which helped with our enjoyment of our stay. The Netflix did not seem to be working. Good to have the Co_op across the road and we did have lovely Fish and Chips from shop around the corner.

Great place to stay in a perfect location in Seahouses. Ideal for a couple staying and had everything we needed for an enjoyable break. The parking was tight in a courtyard but was okay if you have a smaller car. It can be a bit noisy from the upstairs apartment i.e sometimes hearing footsteps but overall we would recommend

Good location, clean but some aspects need attention. Positive: Good size kitchen, good shower, and very clean and well presented apartment. Close to shops etc. Negative: Noice from the other apartments. Parking was blocked by others a few times. No dinning table. Blinds in bedroom do not keep out the bright security light which on all night in the parking area. This is needs attention as sleeping in this light is near impossible.

Overall please with a peaceful visit Positive: Nice quiet location fabulously close to the harbour for going on the boat trip which was the main reason for my visit Negative: Was lacking in finishing off touches- clock had stopped needing new battery. No Loo roll on holder. Pack of cleaning clothes left on microwave, plus other. Fairly minor details but paying a fair amount to stay here was disappointing that these things weren’t done but have mentioned to the letting company!

We had a lovely stay in Seahouses.

Perfect apartment in the middle of Seahouses. Parking White decor, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedroom. Easy to find

Beautifully clean, tastefully decorated & well equipped, ground floor apartment in a central location of Seahouses. Close to coast, harbour, town & EV charge point. The only downside was the views from all sides was onto car park & rear of shops. Apart from that it was a great place with everything we needed for a relaxing break on the Northumberland coast.

Immaculately clean apartment in a great location Positive: Immaculately clean apartment in a great location. Well equipped kitchen for eating in and super close to all of the pubs and restaurants in Seahouses. Negative: It was a little difficult to find the property because of the photo showing a building on Main Street when the property was actually behind. Unfortunately the bed was quite uncomfortable and the spotlights were very bright in the kitchen/living area, it would have been nice to have a lamp for some softer lighting in the evenings.

Brilliant Positive: Lovely little apartment. Location perfect Negative: View

In an ideal spot for shops, beach, harbour and restaurants, with parking right outside. The kitchen and bedroom windows look out onto the parking area which is behind the shops and the sitting room window looks out onto the pay and display car park so don’t expect lovely views! Trotters Bakery which sells a variety of delicious goods is just through the parking area where you will also find 2 Indian restaurants. There are a few fish and chip options. Bed was comfy and bathroom spacious.

Excellent location, good value for money - we are definitely coming back!! Positive: Excellent central location, lovely comfortable couch, good WiFi connection. All the facilities you could possibly need in the kitchen. Negative: We were staying for 4 nights and although we did bring our own toiletries etc., it might’ve been a good idea to top up things like shower gel and, particularly toilet roll for guest staying for longer periods of time.

Great wee base bang in the centre of town. Don't be put off by the outside as it is really well done inside. Very well equipped and very quiet. Tricky parking but once in it was fine!

Great location near the sea. Great for coastal walks and ice cream l. Accomodation itself was nice and comfortable smart Tele with all the apps required for when you're tired. local restaurants include Italian , Indian and fish and chips all of which were delicious (specially the Indian opposite) the only thing of note is the car parking is tight and can be slightly difficult to navigate if full

Very convenient and suited our needs this time. Super clean. Positive: It’s was very clean and surprisingly comfortable for our two night stay Negative: I didn’t realise the property was in the car park behind property on the high street (I thought it was above one of the retail shops). Not a big issue for this trip. No outdoor space which might be preferred in high season.

Had a fantastic 3 night stay. The apartment was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, as well as plenty of restaurants and shops. The host was excellent, responding quickly to any queries and providing clear, helpful information throughout our stay. Communication was smooth and hassle free. Parking right outside was a real bonus, and the area was lovely and quiet at night, making it easy to relax. We would definitely book again and highly recommend to others.

I stayed at Ocean Pearl in Seahouses for 7 nights. The property is lovely, tastefully and simply decorated! Comfortable bed, great bathroom with a large shower. The bedroom window has a blind but because the outside area is brightly lit, it never gets properly dark in there. Electric heating all over, easy to control and use. Useful kitchen with adequate accessories and quality appliances. The only (personal) negative is the bar stools at the breakfast bar, they are very hard and uncomfortable so having a relaxing meal is sadly not an option. Comfy sofa and smart TV.This property is centrally located so all shops, restaurants, etc are within a few steps walking distance.The property comes with 1 parking space but has no other outside space at all so it seems better suited to a winter getaway rather than during better weather.I would definitely stay there again for a winter getaway.

Had a wonderful stay would definitely stay again! lovely clean and warm, perfect location. Easy to get into and parking directly outside the front door so lovely and easy to unpack and pack again. Even the brief power cut to the area was mitigated with the motion light in the living room so we where perfectly safe from trips in the dark. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great place to stay, just off the high street so all the local restaurants and shops were right there

Our second stay at Ocean Pearl, perfect little spot to explore the Northumbrian Coast. Thank you again for letting us stay at one of your properties.

As described, but read reviews ref curtains in the bedroom and hangers

We loved our stay in this flat! It was spotlessly clean and in a central location so we could walk to the shops, restaurants and pubs in Seahouses. There's a Co-op just across the road so you can top up on essentials easily, plus there's a lovely little deli next door. It's also only a short drive to Bambourgh Castle and Holy Island. We will be back.

Warm, comfortable property, well equipped. A second hand towel would have been appreciated.Property situated behind a row of shops - not a great outlook, but very close to all amenities. Shower walk to beach - good place for a few days.

The apartment is comfortable and perfect for a weekend away. It's in the middle of town so close to everything you need.

About as great an airbnb as I've found. A better mattress would put it over the top, but that's the only negative in a long list of positives (huge bathroom/shower, great location, easy to access, nice kitchen, comfortable couch, laundry, quiet). Hope I can come back someday.

Clean & quiet

Very comfortable cosy studio apartment perfect for our short stay. Very clean and in an ideal spot. Only comment would be that the description states there is no hairdryer so I brought my own with me only to find one in the bedroom, so maybe this should now be added to the facilities. Would definitely stay here again.

ok Positive: High sr. accommodation

Overall a really good stay at ocean pearl apartment! Brilliant location, walking distance to multiple nice pubs and restaurants and close to plenty of Northumberland’s main attractions. The apartment was as pictured however there were a couple of drawbacks. The apartment wasn’t the cleanest and the ceilings are pretty thin so you can hear noise from the upstairs apartment. The amenities were brilliant though, the apartment has everything you could need for a few days stay! The hosts were brilliant as well, good communication and clear instructions on check in etc and gave local recommendations.

This apartment was in a very good location, was very clean & tidy. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again. Just a couple of things i would say, there are no curtains on the windows so the light does shine through the blinds pretty early in the morning, there was only 4 coat hangers. They could do with putting some hooks up somewhere to hang your coat etc. Also they only left 1 dish washer tablet and 1 toilet roll. These are just small things that can soon be sorted out.

Lovely modern and clean aparment ideally situated to tour Northumberland - more tea and coffee would have been good.

We have stayed several times at Seahouses in other accommodation which we couldn’t access this time and found this new one which was excellent for everything we needed ideal situation in the middle of the town. We will definitely be rebooking hopefully next year

Nice apartment and good location

Fantastic stay and perfect location

Brilliant location, close to all amenities in Sea Houses and a great base for a stay in the wider Northumberland area for getting around. The apartment was well stocked and very clean and comfortable as described. It was a quiet location and very relaxing. The only issue we experienced was that there was no curtains in the bedroom, and the blind let light in from a very bright outdoor light in the parking area which made it difficult to sleep at times. Would suggest getting curtains in the bedroom to solve this issue.

Nice clean apartment in a great location.

Bewertung Ocean Pearl Danke für die gute und nette Kommunikation. Unser Aufenthalt in Seahouses war sehr schön. Auch die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Trotz Beschreibung war das finden der Unterkunft nicht ganz einfach. Ein Schwamm für den Abwasch war leider nicht vorhanden und auch einen Pfannenwender haben wir vermisst. Die Beschichtung der Bratpfanne lässt sich leider auch auf. Die Einrichtung hat uns ansonsten sehr gut gefallen.

Great place in the centre of seahouses. Clean and comfortable and I would certainly recommend.

Positive: The flat was ok, very central to the town, all the self catering facilities were great. Negative: Unfortunately the bed was poor, a good night sleep was very difficult to achieve. The bathroom could do with a little more attention to detail.

We enjoyed our stay. Positive: Location and having parking on site. Shower room and bedroom were well appointed and spacious. Kitchen had most of the utensils etc that we needed and had plenty of crockery for us. Negative: The stools at the breakfast bar were uncomfortable to use. To start with we couldn't find the entrance to the property as we were not aware it was behind shops.

very clean apartment with everything you could need for a weekend stay. right in the centre of seahouses with lovely coastal walks. definitely worth what we paid

War in Ordnung. Positive: Sehr zentrale Lage zwischen allen shops, aber im Hinterhof hinter einem Restaurant gelegen, also kein Verkehrslärm. Kurze Wege überallhin (Hafen, Strand). Parken direkt vor der Haustür, das gibts in Seahouses sonst kaum. Nette Nachbarn. Sehr klein aber ok. Alles da, Fön, Staubsauger usw. Negative: Die EG-Wohnung ist ein bisschen blöd: vorn gaffen die Restaurant-Mitarbeiter durchs Fenster, auf der andren Seite des Zimmers ist der öff. Parkplatz, d.h. die Parker gehen direkt am Fenster vorbei. Ein Sichtschutz für tagsüber (Store) wär gut. Lästig fand ich, dass der Anbieter mehrfach versuchte, mir telefonisch Zusätzliches zu verkaufen (1 Tag mehr; früheres Einchecken).

Beautiful apartment. Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean.Situated behind the restaurants and shops on the main street. We didn't hear much noise from the restaurant and it was great to be provided with a car parking space.Perfect location for a short stay, walking distance to the harbour, shops and restaurants. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Seahouses Great, central spot.

Great place to stay for exploring the Northumberland coast! It was super convenient and the parking space was right outside!

Really loved our stay :) host was always ready to message back if needed! Slept like a log 😂 many thanks!

Lovely apartment in the middle of Seahouses. It took us a little bit to find the access but only because a lorry delivering to a nearby shop had parked across the entrance. Facilities were great and we were provided with everything that we needed.

lovely stay in seahouses great location, just off main high street. Only complaint was that shower was broken and feel this should have been picked up during changeover. Had to wait for it to be fixed, no communication from maintenance team that the job had been completed.

Very nice property with everything you need. Positive: We loved the property, only downside was the telly wasn’t working via the aerial and Netflix, Prime etc due to poor internet. Had to connect the telly to my phones mobile hotspot for it to work.

Seahouses Positive: Lovely little 1 bedroomed apartment.clean and comfortable and right In the heart of Seahouses.Nice big bed and comfortable.Would return

Very clean, tidy comfortable accommodation in the middle of Seahouses. Good size bathroom with plenty of hot water.

Lovely apartment , filled with all you need for your stay. Unfortunately neighbours above weren’t very quiet but that is no fault of the apartment . Clean tidy and tastefully decorated .

A bit disappointed but the apartment was warm and gave us more room and independence than a hotel room. Positive: Kitchen well equipped. Contacting host quick and efficient. Negative: Although location was central the view from living are was of public car park. Over flowing drain outside property near parking space. Poor sliding door in bedroom.

Seahouses Bolthole Lovely little apartment right in centre of Seahouses. Had everything needed, close to pubs and restaurants plus long beach walks on doorstep.

We had a great stay here in Seahouses, the apartment was clean and modern and close to the beach/harbour and lots of great restaurants & takeaways! We found the apartment fine from the main road. Thanks for a great stay!

Nice and clean. Easy to find. Close to all amenities. Little bit of noise from upstairs neighbours. Ventilation noise from back of restaurant. Overall great stay though

Great location, clean and friendly host!

Had a wonderful stay, apartment was lovely and surroundings were beautiful! Would return!

lovely little find. The flat had everything we needed for a short stay and was in the town centre.

Lovely place to stay as a base. Everything you need is there and it’s clean and tidy and very comfortable with your own parking space right in front of the door. Great communication all the way through from booking to arrival to leaving. Thoroughly recommend if coming to this area.

The addres should include a few extra indications. The flat is inside the courtyard at no.1. We were confused on arrival (night time) with a sign on a door facing the main street. A key box with 4 digits was there but we received a code for the key with 3 digits. We had to call and ask the local restaurant before eventually finding the flat and it's corresponding key box with 3 digits.

We had a lovely week in Seahouses based at this accommodation. We had an issue initially finding the accommodation but the hosts were very helpful and once we had found it, got in easily. Accommodation was clean and tidy. We personally found some of the other reviews a little harsh towards the location. It is looking out over a car park (a large one but we didn’t feel like the world and his wife was over looking us) and yes on the other side of the parking area is an Indian takeaway and a bakery (both do lovely food) but it didn’t cause us any issues. Don’t go expecting a view, but you are in the heart of everything and the view is only a minute away. Because the accommodation was so good we did find we noticed some small things like a lack of oven glove and some cooking utensils were missing but this is only being picky. If you are staying in and around Seahouses the Bamburgh Castle Inn looks over the harbour and is the best for breakfast, lunch, dinner & a tipple. Enjoy!

Overall the place is nice and clean. Some of the walls are scratched and could do with a lock of paint. Check in instructions could have been clearer in terms of being on the main street and where it turn in the very tight turning to get behind the buildings. I did not enjoy the assumption that every guest will break something and has to be held accountable, I didn't see this initially before booking and had I known I would not have booked. You have to pay £25 extra for a waiver for cover up to £500 of damages - non refundable Or £250 credit card deposit which is refundable but you are charged an admin fee of £10 and you cannot get a refund if you cancel your booking. A lesson learnt from myself however it was hard to find on the information. Nice place but wouldn't stay again

Accessibility to beaches and castles. Positive: We’ll equipped kitchen. Comfortable lounge area. Large bathroom, walk-in shower. Negative: Overlooking 2 car parks. Shower hose very dirty.

the place was good as a base to explore the area. I was upset by the additionalbfees imposed by Stay and will avoid properties managed by them and advise all I talk to to do the same.

Positive: It was a nice little apartment with parking off road next to plenty of stores and restaurants to enjoy Negative: It was quite awkward to get to once in the village as it is down a back alley

Great location - good to have a parking space too. Very clean (just a bit of dust on the floor - unavoidable so take slippers). Just like the photos - quite minimal which we like for a holiday. Comfy bed and lots of storage space. Would recommend.

The main difficulty was the unclear address given so we spent some time trying to get into the wrong property. The accommodation itself was excellent and gave us a lovely short break exploring the Northumberland coast.. only one dishwasher tablet provided which is inadequate for 3 night stay

Positive: Great place in a great location Negative: Nothing!
