Unprofessional and disappointing!…read more After a busy few months of exams and all the usual family chaos I finally got dates free from my family, including our two teenage sons and two of their friends, to visit Grandparents in Beadnell. Our eldest son is then off to University so close proximity to my parents was imperative for a quality visit with them. I spent, as we all know, a great deal of valuable time searching, short notice and a bank holiday in the mix meant for a difficult search as many places were understandably all booked up. Then I came across the perfect property offering a short break with GRACE DARLING HOLIDAYS(based in Seahouses). I first tried to phone them but despite having a shop in town their reservation lines are closed out of office hours. I therefore made the booking online, I completed a booking form with all personal details and paid in full £600 plus a ridiculous £25 booking fee. I received an email back with booking reference number and text reading "This booking secures the accommodation that you have chosen for the dates you have specified". I told my sons and their friends, breathed a sigh of relief that that was all done and booked and got excited! Then on the Monday morning I received an email from GRACE DARLING HOLIDAYS cancelling our holiday. No apology just that the owner had taken a booking of his own on Friday evening. They could find an alternative or refund us. I emailed back my disappointment and pointed out that their email confirming my booking and terms and conditions stated that we had entered into a binding contract upon the company issuing the holiday confirmation form as agent for the property owner. I think I can be forgiven with the wording of the email I received and no mention of the need to confirm the booking with the owner, that my booking was just that ...booked! Apparently not, on speaking to 'Helen' at GRACE DARLING HOLIDAYS, I was clearly going no where. She made no apology at all, she would not convey our disappointment to the owner or make a request that the other booking be cancelled. She refused to assist us at all other than to re-book us somewhere else. As we needed to be in Beadnell she said there was no other availability. She then went on to repeatedly say she couldn't book something out of thin air and asked for our bank details for a refund. At this point another more personable member of staff 'Margaret' mysteriously took over after I sent them back my booking email and their terms and conditions, asking for an explanation as to how this could not be confirmation? I also politely suggested that this email should contain wording such as 'this booking is reserved pending confirmation by the owner'. By this time some research showed that this was not a one off incident and that other people had also had the same problem as us as long as twelve months back but they were still operating the same system. One poor family say they had turned up for their holiday and unpacked their car before finding that their accommodation was double booked. Why would a holiday company close over a weekend? Margaret did accept the point and claimed she would speak to their IT department with a view to changing the wording. Most importantly she apologised for our disappointment. Only time will tell for all future custom if this actually made a difference and if it does then fair enough. In the meantime we are left without any accommodation and although the terms and conditions state that in the unlikely event the holiday maker has any complaint, the agent will endeavour to resolve the matter to the cottage owner. Helen point blank refused to do this. I can only guess that the owner is unaware of how the agent is acting on his behalf, souring customer relations for his property/new business venture. --

They are extremely knowledgable, helpful, cheery, accommodating and polite. A small walk takes you to the beach, or into the town centre. The town centre is a charming mish-mash of shops with a great bi-weekly market. Berwick itself is picturesque and steeped in history. HIGHLY recommended.

I love it here, myself and my boyfriend ussually go for a weekend around April/May time every year…read more There is plenty to do in the park itself and I would imagine it to be fantastic for kids as you get use of the swimming pool and sports facilities free of chanrge! The entertainment in the evening is what I would call so cheesey you have to love it! Always a bit of good fun, always bands and singers on a bit later in the evening. The surrounding area is great too, there is a golf course on the lead upto the park and on a saturday there is a market in the town centre which is a 5 min drive at most from the park. There are plenty of nice towns and villages around berwick for you to visit, and as always with small towns the fish and chips are amazing!

I think all have a log fire. We've stayed in Coley Law and latterly Honeymug, both have central heating and a log burner for cosy nights in. There's also a nice leisure centre on-site with pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and a fitness room all to the same standards as the accommodation. So if you love tranquility away from the madding crowd this is just the dab!!
