Stayed here for three nights during a windy cold spell of weather and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was a surprise present to us from our family and was perfect. The cottage was spotless, and just right for our needs, peaceful, cosy and easy to run. We were out all day on the coast but returned in late afternoons, relaxed, then walked into the village for a meal. The stove was a good extra back up to the central heating, and everything was provided in terms of crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipment. The upstairs bedroom with the bath in it was spacious and airy. It was good having a morning bath whilst watching the sunrise!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a superb stay at Tickle cottage the first four nights in September. When we arrived the cottage exceeded our expectations. It was extremely welcoming and clean and smelt very fresh. The master bedroom is stunning and the roll top bath is great for relaxing after a day of walking/sight seeing. The cottage has everything you need with a well equipped utility room across the private courtyard. The courtyard is great for a bbq and enjoying drinks in the sunshine. Although we were lucky enough to have warm sunny weather we couldn't resist using the log burning stove for a cosy night in also. The location is brilliant as it is less than a minute walk to two pubs/restraunts, 5 minute walk to beadnell beach and just a short drive from Bamburgh, Seahouses, Alnwick etc. We would highly recommend this lovely cottage and intend to stay again sometime soon.

Had a really lovely week in this cosy little cottage, it has everything you need to spend a relaxing holiday. Had meal at Craster Arms and also in the Towers Hotel, the latter was our favorite a delicious meal of scallops cooked to perfection & trout for my partner, I would highly recommend it. Tracy emailed us very useful info on things to do in the area which we found most helpful.
The only niggle we had was the neighbor in Number 19 who would put out parking cones or plastic crates on the road outside to prevent visitors from parking which is a bit over the top,we never did park in front of his house but found it a bit off to say the least.
That aside we would certainly return to this lovely cottage.
Regarding not parking outside our elderly neighbours house, I like to think that our guests are understanding, our elderly neighbours opposite are a lovely couple and will do anthing to help our guests- holding spare keys if you get locked out, watering our window baskets, always there if emergency occured etc We inform our guests not to park outside their house in the confirmation letter as the view is important to them- yes I know they do not own the road but we have to be understanding. Sometimes cars- people carriers can be very large, they are in their eighties so just a little understanding is all we ask. There is plenty of spaces to park just passed their house, directly outside our cottage or even round the back. Good old fashioned neighbours are hard to find these days so our guests understanding is appreciated. They like to look over the village green especially now spending more time indoors and some cars can be very big these days.
Kindest regards Tracy Owner

We stayed for a week in July. The cottage is lovely, two bedrooms, one on the ground floor which we were able to use as a "dressing room". The main bathroom was lovely with a roll top bath and TV it was perfect to relax in after a day walking. It was easy to walk to Seahouses or just as easy to drive to some other attractions such as Alnwick. The village is a lot quieter than seahouses which suited us down to the ground. The cottage provides everything you could need, plenty of plates, cups and glasses etc. The outside utility had a big fridge freezer and even had a cool bag to take to the beach. There really isn't much the owner hasn't thought of and because of that we were able to slip into to relax mode straight away. It was also spotless. Its an easy walk to the beach and a pretty perfect location. I would definitely recommend it.

We do like to maintain our property if things are broken and we do ask guests to be honest and as such a good house keeping bond is held in case of damages. The shower tray is an integral part of the shower and something has to replace it as we feel it can be unsafe for people bending down in the shower. Payment was taken of £25 with the guests permission to buy another and pay workman to install. We like our little cottage very much and hope you will too, kindest regards Tracy
