The location is fantastic, the house was clean but could do with updating of some furniture and fittings. Kitchen needs a significant update of equipment for a house that size, and for the price consumables like plenty of dishwasher tabs, salt pepper oil etc should be a given. There was no large saucepan so we had to cook spaghetti for our group of 5 in two separate lots in the small saucepan provided. Regarding communication, it’s a personal preference but I prefer to communicate with the host and not a chat bot style service, including getting a call from a call centre abroad to ask me to provide more information for „check-in“. All that being said , the house is great for a small group but bring all of your own equipment.

A nice, spacious house in Upper Newton. A short walk to the beach at Lower Newton with a great pub (Ship Inn) which had several events the week we were there and served great food and beer.

Excellent location in a peaceful village setting with easy walkable access to a fabulous beach, lots of coastal footpaths and 2 pubs plus many places of interest within a short car journey. House was clean and very comfortable for 6 adults and a baby, although some areas are starting to show signs of wear & tear the facilities overall were good. Parking was a bit tight for 2 cars but very close to the free village car park so only an issue on arrival & departure. It would be helpful to supply more handtowels - 2 for a party of 6 adults wasn't really adequate. Oven gloves would also be a great addition to the kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily book again.

Well-appointed house with lots of space, perfect for multi-generation holiday in the gorgeously peaceful Newton! I dream of a boot room like this one! Lovely pub just over the road, and only a half a mile walk to the most perfect beach! If you’re intending to cook a lot, you might need to take anything critical to planned meals (roasting tins etc). Only one tea towel, and two handtowels for 6 of us were provided - so pack a couple of extras, but Host and Stay were so lovely, I'm sure they'll respond to the feedback. A lovely holiday had by all.

Lovely location and comfortable property. Very communicative host prior to arrival answered questions promptly. Bedding and towels very clean and ample provided. We appreciated the access to streaming services for guests. Small snags - only 1 tea towel provided caused us inconvenience, and very few saucepans and no large ones meant dinner plans were rendered complex. Windows could do with a thorough clean, some unpleasant black buildup. Unclear where to put recycling as the online guidebook stated to look at the book at the property, but could not find any up to date info. Finally, PAT test stickers in kitchen suggest items need a retest.

We really enjoyed our family stay in this property. It was spacious enough to have 6 and two dogs without feeling like we crammed in together. The courtyard area was a good secure space to allow the dogs to play outside whilst we were in the property. The location was great, being a 20 minute walk from the beach at Low Newton and we highly recommend booking in for a meal at the Joiners Arms which is just across the road.

We are just back from a lovely 2 night stay at Doray House. The house was beautifully decorated with loads of space. Beach was only a 10 minute walk away with the pub literally right across the road. There were a couple of things to mention - upon arrival we found a tooth flossing tool on the floor beside the bed in one of the bedrooms and the upstairs bathroom mirrors were really dirty (toothpaste marks on one of them), so I don’t know if these were missed by cleaners. Also, there was a few bits of litter outside at seating area (muffin wrappers and a few lens wipe packets). Secondly, a suggestion was maybe to include salt/pepper and oil in the kitchen? It says oil was included so we didn’t bring any and had to ask pub for some. Overall a lovely house and would definitely be back, just a shame re a couple of points above! Thanks.

The house was great & was exactly as we had hoped. Lots of air fresheners around which made it smell lovely. The location was also very good especially having a pub across the road!

Beautiful cottage and village, ten minutes easy walk to the beach. Great coastal walks, pub is a stone’s throw but drinks was very expensive so we only had one there! The cottage is very spacious and plenty of room for six people, the bedrooms was lovely and the photos are true to the house! Down falls was - we was only left one dish tablet for 3 days for 6 people! Only one tea town and one toilet roll on each toilet! No kitchen spray to clean Down. The bathroom downstairs wasn’t very clean and so wasn’t the utility room. There was no board games or playing cards etc which would have made a nice touch to say how much we paid! Even though I would stay again!

Good place for our family reunion over Christmas. Found the oven on the small side and dirty but we managed with the use of our own slow cooker and the microwave. Also needed a larger frying pan or a wok and more than the one tea towel provided. The driveway had a fee loose paving slabs which posed a trip hazard. The pub just a few steps away is cosy and friendly with good food. Nice 15 minute walk down to the beach. Look into the tin church, St Marys, as you pass, so pretty. Plenty of local places to enjoy.

Very spacious house with a downstairs bedroom and bathroom perfect for my parents with 2 large upstairs bedrooms and another bathroom, beds very comfy, TVs in every room which the kids loved, open plan kitchen living room and a huge conservatory at the back with utility room. The pub over the road serves really tasty food and is open all day every day but gets very busy so booking is recommended. 15min walk to low newton beach which is lovely and has many coastal paths to enjoy. Fab time had all round

Doray house is a lovely 3 bed place with easy access to the coast across the road from the Joiners Arms. Some of the amenities were disappointing including the pillows and mattresses, and we had some minor problems which were resolved with the help of the owner.

Beautiful house in a beautiful area. We were attending a family wedding in a nearby venue and we couldn’t have wished for a nicer place to get ready and then spend a couple of day afterwards. Really near the beach and great walks from the front door. Kippers at The Ship in Low Newton after a walk along the coast made for a perfect day. The house was very clean and spacious with really comfy beds and nice bedding. I would recommend.

This was a great place to stay with our extended family (grandparents, children and a dog). The house is welcoming and comfortable with great places to relax and good facilities for everyone. Having the pub over the road was great for dinner (booking recommended it was busy!) The beach is walkable and is beautiful. Our queries pre arrival were responded to quickly and check in went without a hitch. Great place to stay for our trip to Northumberland and well placed for local attractions like Alnwick and Holy Island. Thank you!

Comfortable and spacious accommodation. All three bedrooms were beautifully decorated and beds were very comfy, with ample wardrobe space and hangers. Lounge and conservatory areas were cosy with plenty of space to grab some quiet time for reading etc. Outdoor space which could be utilised in warmer weather and a couple of pub/ restaurants within easy walking distance. We would definitely return.

Although the house has no view, it’s location in High Newton is excellent for exploring north or south. It’s also right on the excellent 418 bus route. Across the road The Joiners Arms serves fine food with a smile. And the property itself is warm, comfortable and extremely well-equipped.

Really loved our stay at Doray House. Location was perfect for exploring Seahouses, Bamburgh and surrounding. A great pub with good food literally across the road which was a delight. House was clean, tidy and as described. Comfortable beds, good sized bathrooms. Plenty of space for a party of 6 including two small dogs. Good communication leading up to and during our stay. Would highly recommend.

A great property in a perfect location. We had a great couple of nights. It’s a very easy walk down to Low-Newton and the stunning beach, with views of Dunstanburgh Castle. The Joiners Arms is just across the road and the renowned Ship Inn is 15 minutes walk. The house is really well equipped and Host&Stay were good with communications before and during our stay. We would definitely book again.
