“Beautiful, unique property-incredible views,but more transparency needed on the listing”
+Really lovely location and the accommodation was cosy and clean. The views were lovely!
−There really needs to be something on the listing re. The main gate that closes at night. We had been at a wedding and arrived back at 11:30 to find the main gate closed. I had to scale the style and make the 20 + mins walk back to the tower (in heels!) up the very, very dark country lane. This was obviously less than ideal and for anyone less able this would have been a considerable issue. It is also concerning that emergency services would not have been able to get through should anyone need them during their stay. The gate either needs to stay open or you need to be totally transparent on the listing so that people can judge this circumstance. The walk to the beach was also longer than stated.

“Lovely relaxing break with excellent views. Would stay again.”
+We loved the location and the view. It was just what we needed. Peace and quiet and beautiful sea views. And of course the horses. Plenty of walks nearby and the sunrise was lovely. Bed was very comfortable.

“Superb”
+Great elevated sea views, spacious open plan livingroom and kitchen. Lovely to relax on the 2 sofas in the evening with the double doors open. Dining table and chairs. Fridge, washing machine, kettle, toaster, no microwave. Plenty of work surface. Surrounded by the wonderful horses from the local livery yard. Don't expect a deep soak from the bath, but it does its job. Leave enough hot water for the next person if refilling the bath again soon. Access the beach via the Dene. Just a few minutes' drive into Seaham, where there are cafés, supermarkets, and of course the beaches. Good parking. Outside seating to enjoy sunrise and sunset, watch the sea traffic, mainly tankers, the odd ferry, and the horses and ponies. Would stay again. Thank you.

“Beautiful property and setting, requires a clean in areas”
+Building and setting. The tower was well equipped and cosy.
−Windows, mirror in bathroom and some crockery and cutlery were not clean. The natural stonework in the kitchen is covered in dust and cobwebs. The starry skies were spectacular but we had to clean a window to make the most of the view.
