The apartment was a perfect place to stay in a beautiful location for a couple of nights. Lots of places to eat, super convenient for the co-op, Indian restaurant, pubs, amusements, bakery… and more. It was very easy to find, easy to park and no trouble entering as described with the lock box.
Everything was clean, and we even had a view of Bamburgh castle through the lounge window!
If I had one complaint it would be the bed - springs and noisy but it’s such a small thing and we got used to it after one night.
I will definitely consider using this apartment again when visiting Seahouses in the future… if it’s available!

Photos were of a different flat. Flat didn't have the listed bathtub (only a shower). Bed was uncomfortable (very hard with spring core). Otherwise good kitchen, compfy couch etc, good heaters
Location is great, but might be loud in summer. Easy to get to all local shops/restaurants/the beach. Great to make day trips to Northumberland sights.
Host uses bot for responses, when communicating with a human, they only seemed to be an employee unable to deal with complaints without an extra complaints form.

Seahouses is a great location and very handy to have an allocated parking space below the flat. Seahouses is a great base to explore Northumberland from and is a lovely village to stay in. The ‘Seafarers’ flat had the basics and was tidy. The property guidebook was useful.

Very uncomfortable bed - at first I thought it was just a firm mattress (and that’s a matter of preference) but when it came time to go to bed, I could not only feel but also hear every spring in the mattress. The popping and tinging of the springs woke me up every night and it was just lumpy, tough and uncomfortable. I would recommend that the mattress and pillows are replaced soon. I didn’t sleep well once during my stay.

The ‘Seafarers’ property info on Host and Stay website is not current and doesn’t all apply to this flat. The photos are also different as it has clearly been redecorated since they were taken. It is mostly the same, however, the photos and list of amenities both feature a bathtub and now there is just a walk-in shower, which was disappointing.

I was not impressed that shortly before my stay I was informed that I needed to pay an additional damage waiver/insurance before I arrived. This meant that I paid more than quoted on the property listing, despite having already booked and paid. It was not made clear a time of booking.

Views only of car parks from front and rear of property but on a clear day you could see the distant outline of Bamburgh Castle, though the window was very dirty to look through.

The apartment is clean, well-furnished and very central, we were lucky to get parking in the back courtyard. The bakery below the apartment did get late deliveries. I knew this in advance from other reviews and took earplugs. The bedrooms were large though could do with a small set of drawers for clothes, there was plenty of room. Kitchen/Diner was well stocked but Seahouses has plenty of places to eat out, we only had breakfast and snacks there.

I didn't like the fact we had to pay an extra damage insurance amount on top of the rental amount quoted by Booking.com This is not made clear when you viewed and subsequently booked the property. I feel this is sneaky and should be made clear at the time of viewing/booking. Some of the reviews we read about Ironside did not apply to the property we rented. This was very confusing.

Lovely apartment, with everything you needed supplied for your stay.
Very spacious and clean, loved the size of the bathroom! (they're normally quite tight for space!) Plenty of storage and a good size hanging rail for clothes!
Very comfortable overall. (apart from the bed!)

(a) The steps to get into the apartment are like fire escape ones. I always was a bit wary of going up and down them, especially if it was a bit damp.
(b) The bed! The mattress was so springy!! You only had to touch it and you could feel the springs. Once in it, it squeaked with every move and when one person moved the other got bounced about!
Didn't have a good night's sleep all week. (we actually came home a day early to our own bed!!)

Being forced to pay extra hidden charges for insurance Left me feeling cheated. Should have been included in price. It was like a ryanair add on. Property extremely noisy at night with deliveries for bakery below curtains completely Inadequate not lined So was too light in the mornings No hairdryer. Dishwasher would be more useful than a washing machine for a holiday break. No visitor book for recommendations. No helpful leaflets for local businesses - I felt the information guide a little lazy not everybody wants to use the phone all the time. What if? if you don’t have an iPhone. Need Window pole to shut windows As they are are so high. Felt foolish for only reading reviews after I had arrived. I see that most of the issues I am informing you are have already been raised.

Not much to say. The only thing I would have liked that wasn't available was a hairdryer.

Like Seahouses so went for three days.

This property insisted on cover me insurance despite other cleaning and hosting costs . Host & Stay insisted we take this out prior to giving us the key safe code. The system was down and I had to call them repeatedly before I was helped wasting my time and causing me anxiety on holiday. We were given the choice of paying a non refundable £25 or paying £250 with £240 being returned to us two weeks later . Unexpected costs for a short break which were excessive.
The apartment was a bit spartan and located in a car park at the rear of a curry house.
Will stay in a hotel next time.

The management company. Lied about the mandatory deposit, and only sent me that information teh day that my free cncallation had expired. I was backed into a corner to pay either a bond or make a deposit payment by card which is not fully refundable - even though the listing says it is. This is sharp practice - even the worst budget airline tell you they are going to shaft you in advance, not wait unti you can't do anything about it. If these are unavoidable costs, incude them in the headline pricing. Booking.com should take them to taks over this.

Lovely bright apartment, good size rooms with high ceilings. We had everything we needed. Located on the High Street, a short walk to the harbour. Lots of restaurants and tourist shops near by and a Coop for grocery shopping directly across the road.

Parking is in the courtyard behind the building and initialy there was a problem, as the space behind the flat has a 'no parking' notice on the wall. We still parked there as that is what our instructions said, but then someone started putting notes of 'no parking' on our windscreen. With help from the company and the bakery underneath the flat we were given a different place to park the next day.
The curtains in the bedroom are very thin, so if you are a light sleeper and wake up when the room gets light (4.30AM) take an eye mask.

Not happy with the access to the apartment. It states there is stairs but doesn't tell you they are external metal fire escape type staircase., that gets slippy when wet. Miss advertising. I am a 76 year old lady who has difficulty walking but can manage internal staircases but really struggled with theses steps. Wouldn't have gone to the property if I'd known about the access situation . I feel that in future it should clearly state on the accommodation that tge steps are external and not suitable for everyone.

Location very convenient and central.
Living area and main bedroom were spacious, clean, bright and airy.
The bathroom was clean and large. Good shower.
The bed was very comfy.

We were very surprised to be asked to pay an additional (non refundable) fee of either £10 or £25, prior to travel, for damage waiver. This should be clearly advertised, or included in the original cost of the booking.
The information for both parking and rubbish disposal were very unclear and unhelpful. We messaged for clarification re parking on arrival. Our second text message was ignored. We were advised to park in the designated parking area. There wasn't one.
The kitchen area was tiny, with no usable work surface. Many plates, dishes etc were still in original shop packaging, the mugs still had Ikea stickers attatched. Plates and glasses were stored in a pantry type cupboard along, with the mop and vacuum!
There was no dishwasher, one was advertised.
Both bedrooms really need a minimum of an additional chest of drawers and / or dressing table. The only storage for clothes was a clothes rail. We lived out of our bags for a week. There was no hairdryer.
The appartment appeared to have been very recently decorated, and stocked / furnished. (It smelt of paint initially).
I really hope these issues are just teething problems, but this apartment really didn't feel anything like fully prepared for guests, or particularly welcoming.

I honestly could not fault anything with the property, great central location and Seahouses is very close to many different places. The apartment was in perfect condition and decorated brilliantly, it made us feel very at home and comfortable here. The hosts provided many additional facilities that we did not expect, and communication was great leading up to our stay. Very spacious shower, water pressure wasn't the best but this was not an issue at all for us. If you have mobility issues the upstairs apartment would not be suitable due to the fire escape entry, but this was no issue for us and was stated in the booking. We didn't want to leave and would absolutely be back again to stay! ! Couldn't recommend enough :)

Apartment was in a good location. Clean and tidy yet a bit dated!

The apartment access was an outside metal staircase, with a dangerous top step with no lights. So I had to use a torch! The walkway that leads to the apartment had restricted access due to a seat partially blocking path approximately 12 inches to squeeze past ,( bearing in mind the access is on upper floor looking down 15ft) also the decking that was on staircase walkway was a tad slippery when wet . In my opinion an accident waiting to happen. Apartment not suitable for people with mobility issues!

Apartment lovely although smaller than anticipated and lacking comfort. OK for use as a base. Location although already aware of it it was very disappointing. Two views , the back of shops & a restaurant from kitchen window. The sights outside the back of the restaurant were an eyeopener. The second view , the main car park in Seahouses was the view from the lounge area. A high pitched humming could be heard in the bedroom at night ? from a generator affected my ears . I wore ear buds & played music to block it . Excess noise from the flat above at night and early morning a problem , sounded like furniture being moved around. Seahouses is one of our favourite places and this year we were recuperating and not traveling to other places like we normally would so the apartment was very convenient for all the places we wanted to be near to and handy for bobbing back to during the day. We made good use of the shops, restaurants and takeaways as they were literally on the doorstep.We also frequented the spa across the car park.

I did not like communicating with three parties . Booking.com, Host and Stay and the link to Super hog to make payment for damage waiver cover. The humming from the generator . The views which are fleetingly mentioned in the details when advertised on all sites but although we know the area very well still came as a disappointment .

Me and my partner were a last minute tag along for a family holiday so were after a place in seahouses quite last minute, with central location for a good price. This ticked all those boxes.
We stayed Monday to Friday and from the get go the hosts were very responsive and helped with any questions I had. The address provided lead us straight there and the parking spot was a bonus for being in the centre of seahouses. Lock box for the key was also very straight forward.
The property was in perfect location and had everything we needed, with a co-op right across the road.
The only negative I could have for the property is the sofa had a few marks on- but this is me being picky and it didn’t bother us but may bother some clean freaks out there!
Other than that this property was very clean and I would recommend this stay for couples wanting to visit the area!

Location was ideal, situated in the centre of town with an allotted parking space. Everything we needed was in the apartment from cooking to cleaning. A very nice place to stay.

The mattress on the bed was the biggest issue for both me and my wife. We both said it was the worst mattress we had ever slept on it was so uncomfortable, this has been mentioned in previous posts. I also think if you have 2 cleaners coming in after your stay they could do a better job ie make sure all pots and pans are clean and the portable hoover is emptied of debris, just little touches I know. I also had to report damage to freezer door (broken )and worktop as I’d paid an insurance on the property.

The apartment was central and near all amenities.

The entrance to the apartment was through an alley way and into a back court. There was lots of litter lying about and the front door actually faces the rear of a bakers shop and an Indian restaurant. The stairs up to the apartment were fairly steep and an elderly or infirm person would struggle. Sofa could do with a good clean and the apartment itself could do with a freshen up. Also Wifi does not work.

Failed to answer any of our queries, their only responsive communications were to demand extra insurance fees, explain why these were legitimate, and that failure to pay would result in our booking being cancelled with no refund. Airbnb later confirmed that this is now allowed (!) by the platform via some obscure T and C about a ‘third party API’.
House is basic but fine, but bed, furniture and provided goods are all the cheapest, nastiest stuff they could possibly get their hands on. Very cheap and uncomfortable mattress, better off camping on that front. House also had distinct, strong stench of male cat spray in bathroom (to which I am allergic).
Airbnb seem to have chronically diluted the quality of their customer experience (and apparently their insurance guarantees to hosts). My partner is an airbnb super host of many years and we both agree after this that there are now plenty of better alternative rental platforms around. Utterly unrecommended.

Good commuincations leading up to the stay clear guidance for picking up the keys and lock box code

We have stayed at this property before
But this time we felt it was very tired not very clean not sure if the host is checking or who they are using to clean but the bedroom was very dusty the bathroom was not clean the shower head was filthy and the kitchen area had a 3 legged table and this lead to a smal bowl being broken as it fell off
The bathroom grouting is in poor condition which just makes it not feel like a nice clean place to stay
If it was charged at “budget” rates then you would overlook this but the cost at circa £120 per night we expected the place to be a lot cleaner

The flat itself was really lovely, clean and bright with everything we needed.

Unfortunately the bathroom had the worse smell ever. We opened the window and left fan on but it didn't make much difference. It was so bad i felt I couldnt stay in there too long, no showering. It was obvious there was a problem as there were several air fresheners all in one area. As we were only stopping 3 nights not showering wasn't really a problem, a week would of been different though.

Brilliant central location. Reserved parking right outside the apartment. Immaculately clean. Comfy bed. Great shower. Lots of space. Every facility. A few essentials were already on site, kitchen roll, toilet rolls, tea, coffee, sugar, etc.

To make the apartment perfect the bedroom needs a mirror. We took the console table (not needed in the kitchen) into the bedroom to use as a dressing table to the left of the radiator, but there was no mirror. Girls need to do makeup and hair.

It would have been useful to be told it was behind No38 and you needed to drive down the ally beside 38. Also it was Flat 1, the documents said Ocean Pearl which is fine but Flat 1 makes more sense.

A small dining table and 2 chairs would have been good for eating in, there's plenty of space for these.

The location of the flat was a bit disappointing but only because it was round the back of commercial properties which were a bit unattractive and perhaps a little smelly. Sort of surrounded by commercial waste skips!

Locating the flat was difficult as directions indicated that we would be located on the Main Street, unfortunately after asking at a local shop we realised that the flat was actually in a block of flats behind the Main Street and situated behind a busy Indian restaurant.

There was an allocated parking space for the flat however the area was small so often got blocked by the delivery drivers to the Indian restaurant and was not easily accessible.

Flat it’s self was hard to access too as the neighbouring flat has a bench on the upper veranda used to enter the front door, leaving just over a foot between the bench and railings for you to squeeze through. This felt very unsafe balancing our luggage, pram and baby over this obstacle to gain entry.

The flat on the surface seemed clean and tidy, but upon further inspection areas where very unclean, the filter above the kitchen window was filled with dust and yellow grime and grease, the handles to the cupboards and doors where dirty, the fridge handle was dirty with food crumbs inside and cups and plates where sticky and greasy as if they had not been washed up correctly.

There was a really unfortunate mould / wet smell that we eventually worked out was coming from the bathroom and dissipated once we knew to keep the bathroom door closed. Still the bad smell meant we had to keep all the windows open to ensure a fresh air supply and had to purchase air fresheners from the local shop which put us off spending time in the flat.

We stayed for 2 nights a Saturday and Sunday night which meant that the Indian restaurant was busy so it was very noisy with cars coming and going for takeaways service and the back door to the kitchen is constantly open meaning you could hear everything inside.

The noise from the Indian calmed down between 10pm - 11pm at night, however this is when the noise from the neighbouring flats began. I am not sure if they are permanent let’s or more holiday let’s but they were at the time occupied by a group of young people who stayed up drinking on the verandas of the flats until around 5am being very noisy on the Saturday and on the Sunday night until a similar time trying to sing karaoke from what we could make out.

Overall I would say not a suitable accommodation for a young family or anyone wanting a quite retreat. Not what I would of expected from a super host.

The property is very well equipped and everything is immaculate. It is very well placed right in the centre of Seahouses, within a couple of minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and pubs.

There were large windows that only had roller blinds, so everyone walking past in the public car park or going into the adjoining properties could see right in.
The ceiling lights in the lounge/kitchen were very bright, a couple of lamps or an uplighter would have given a softer light.

The flat was just as described, with everything you could want during your stay. Parking was just outside. Communication and follow up was good. The location was really excellent. Right in the centre of Seahouses and an easy drive from many attractions. Seeing the Puffins at the Farne Islands has to be the highlight . I’d also definitely recommend a drive down to Amble and a visit to The Old Boathouse for a memorable fish meal.

Great location, communication with hosts was excellent, on the whole clean, comfortable apartment.

just a few minor details, light over shower was not working, no hooks in the bathroom to hang gowns etc on but nothing major.

Nicely positioned property right in the middle of the village. Very clean, with basic, but adequate, level of furnishings. Close to absolutely everything. It's a real benefit having parking available in the middle of Seahouses but it can be a bit tight getting in and out, particularly if like me you're not used to such spaces.

Lovely and clean, good location, everything that you would need.

View from kitchen, overflowing bins and black bags ripped open by birds etc at the Indian restaurant in the yard.

Clean and well equipped little apartment for two people, ideal for a long weekend. The location is great, just off the high street - supermarket across the road, restaurants a walk away and ideally placed for the harbour and boat trips. It is true that the apartment looks onto the back of the bakery and a restaurant on one side, and a car park on the other, but this didn't really bother us.

Light, clean, and airy with everything we needed. The central location was a bonus although noisy in the evening.

The property was close to shops and some nice eating places. It was well equipped and everything was clean and in good working order. There was plenty of wardrobe space. The shower room/toilet was roomy with a large shower cubicle and the bed was comfortable. Great places to visit in the area including Alnwick Castle, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island and our favourite, a Farne Islands Boat Trip.

It was a bit tight to get our large car into the parking area as there was scaffolding on the buildings either side of the entrance. There was one allocated parking space, once when we came back from a day out someone had parked in it but they did move it when asked. The view from the property is not great, a car park at the front and the back of shops where the entrance door was, there was rubbish and cigarette butts right outside the entrance door which didn't give a good first impression.

Great location in the heart of Seahouses. Everything is within walking distance. All appliances that you need are supplied and in good working order and clean. I would recommend this flat and would stay here again.

Very disappointed with accommodation Upon inquiring was told it was above bakers in Main Street - it isn’t You have a go down an alley at side of bakers and it’s in a separate block behind which means the view from kitchen and bedroom is the back of the shops and the bin area - not very scenic whilst on holiday.
The flat was clean but basic The kitchen and bathroom could do with some improvements (chipped Formica in kitchen and no dishwasher as stated in there information) There was no welcome pack with information about walks/restaurants in the area which would have been nice.
We used the deli/takeaway opposite (Spitting Feathers) for breakfast and lunch items which were lovely and we had a fantastic meal at the Joiners Arms in High Newton which we would definitely recommend Also took a boat trip (Serenity boats) to Farne Islands which was wonderful and walked along the beach to visit Bamburgh Castle
Enjoyed our time in Seahouses but definitely would not recommend Seafarers!

Just home from a comfortable stay. A equipped flat and everything needed for a 3 night stay. In a great central location in Seahouses but also very quiet.

This flat was clean and tidy, but other than that I'm afraid it was a bit disappointing in some ways. The quality of the decor and furnishings was poor, looked like it had been done very cheaply. No nice touches like some welcoming milk in the fridge for a cuppa after our seven-hour drive. It was far too basic for the price we paid, £460-ish for three nights, (maybe because it was Easter).
The town of Seahouses was bustling, and we did have a lovely few days, but I would say that was despite the accommodation rather than because of it.

very clean, excellent location, well equipped apartment

The bed was on castors and moved when you sat on it, a bit hazardous just needs some of those little circular castor stops underneath. I found the bed hard but my husband was ok with it.

Great cosy little apartment with everything we needed. The underfloor heating was very welcome as the weather was very chilly. Good location had everything on our doorstep from shops, lovely pubs and a good choice of restaurants. We came to walk and we weren’t disappointed as there is so many in this area. The area is so beautiful and we'll definitely be back.

Everything was perfect. Modern, lacked for nothing, spotlessly clean & great location. The owner went above & beyong to sort out an unexpected problem.

Small and quaint. Comfy sofa, lovely comfy bed and a sizeable bathroom.

The kitchen worktop hadn't been cleaned, the bathroom shelves were dirty, there were pubes in the shower! Definitely needed a better clean! The kitchen would have benefited from more bits and bobs ie - salt and pepper.

The location was central & there was plenty of hot water.

The apartment was behind shops that left there piles of rubbish out,the staircase leading up to the flat had rubbish,cigarette butts & large weeds one of which I had to move as it was prickly.There was also empty alcohol bottles lying from people hanging about.The flat itself was perfectly serviceable.However there was dust & fluff on the headboard top hair hairs from previous occupiers in the bath plughole.In times like this when hygiene is meant to be top priority I then started to think if the flat had been properly cleaned between letts! The bed was beyond uncomfortable it was a brick board I eventually got up & slept on the couch.My partner was suffering from a sore back due to how uncomfortable it was.

A warm and cosy little flat, very well situated in the heart of Seahouses. Easy walks to the coastal paths with stunning beaches. A good selection of lovely restaurants all within walking distance. Definitely try Insieme for Italian food, a real gem. Everything you could possibly need for a great stay in this beautiful region.

Lovely flat in great location. Thankful it comes with a parking space as there is no free street parking nearby. Not an issue for us but it does have a set of outdoor stairs to get to flat. Flat was clean and warm, had everything we needed for a lovely week. Would stay again.

This is clean and well arranged accommodation in a prime location in the heart of Seahouses, with its own dedicated parking spot. We found it perfect for a long weekend. We barely needed our car once we'd arrived, as the coastal bus service runs right by.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at this apartment. On arrival we found the place clean and tidy, with all the necessary equipment for self catering. We were very pleased with the internet and Netflix was an additional bonus! Shower was powerful and the bed was really comfy. There was even a hair dryer for use! The only only minor detail was lack of a full length mirror.

The location couldn’t have been better and it was great to have our own car parking space. It’s close to restaurants, the pubs and within walking distance to the beach and harbour.

We would definitely recommend a stay here and we will be looking at coming back for puffin season next year!

Great location for a short break exploring the Northumberland coast. It has all the facilities you’d need for a couple to base themselves from and return to in the evening to wind down.

The flat is very centrally located which is ideal for walking to the town. The flat also comes with 1 car parking space which was essential when Seahouses was so busy with full car parking elsewhere.
The flat has all the necessary amenities you would require and the shower is great.
We both found sleeping difficult as the blind lets the light right through and would recommend bringing an eye mask to block out the light.
For the price paid the flat is small but given it was peak season and Seahouses was so busy, it was to be expected.
