Wamses Retreat Reviews

Jill
Superb location and views. The flat is clean and well equipped. It is quiet despite being within easy walk of the town, shops, restaurants. If you like walking this is a perfect base for many beautiful walks. The car park permit is an important inclusion. We found the flat too cool at times and needed to raise this with the owner as customers cannot control the heating.
Jan
Excellent location. Professional host. Good comms. We had a great time in Seahouses. However we think value for money is a lot worse than in all other places we've stayed in over the past few years, so for that reason alone we do not recommend / are not planning to return. Reply from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed your time at the property and appreciate your comment regarding the property pricing.
Linda
The apartment was immaculate and the view spectacular. Location was ideal. Well equipped.
Diana
Great accommodation, brilliant views and if you have a car, a good starting point for places like Cragside and Bamburgh. I don't have my own transport but hired a taxi for a day who took me to all the places I wanted to see.
Ian
Superbly comfortable and practical flat, with amazing views over the harbour. Loved having breakfast on the balcony in the sun ! The parking permit was really useful all week in various places. Great location to stay to get to many beautiful places in Northumberland
David
What a find. This is a beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean with beautiful views over the harbour. We absolutely loved our stay here and would certainly return and recommend it to other guests.
Jennifer
This place is fantastic. Well designed and very comfortable. Good quality furnishings and equipment. Extremely clean. The view is stunning. The only problem was parking. The car parks are very busy, had to keep circling to find a spot on several occasions. Would have loved to rebook for next July but it has doubled in price and out of our budget.
Rob
Lovely cottage in a great location, very well equipped with everything you need and the view WOW need we say more many thanks - Rob and Jan.
Yvonne Dawn
The apartment was very good nice and comfortable. Very good location good parking didnâ??t need to get in the car only one day when we went to Berwick which we enjoyed, lovely places to eat and drink and some nice shops. We are going to see if we can get there by train because itâ??s a long trip

Perfect place for a relaxing holiday. Every detail has been thought of. The view is the best in Seahouses in our opinion and a pub with great food on the doorstep. What more could you want.
