Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The bedroom was clean and warm.
The kitchen had all amenities, including a washing machine.
The location was quiet.
The other guest was polite, helpful, and courteous.
Clean & quiete, main prob was other guests left all dirty pots & pans all over the kitchen area & piled up in sink, not very considerate to other guests, also smoking weed.
Extremely disappointing and distressing experience at Somerset Cottages, Sunderland.
We booked and paid for accommodation but encountered numerous problems, including poor cleanliness, unfinished plaster and building residue, concerns about electrical socket fittings, and a shower that was unusable for approximately two days.
We also had serious fire-safety concerns, including doors that did not close properly and an apparent lack of smoke detectors.
We documented these issues with photographs and videos and submitted a complaint. Instead of resolving our concerns, the property operator accused us of deliberately damaging the kitchen, which we strongly deny.
The situation escalated when we were prevented from entering the accommodation late at night during our paid stay. We could not retrieve our belongings without assistance, and police attended the incident.
After speaking to customer service from 11pm-1an We were left without suitable accommodation because we couldnt afford £10 different while they rejected to cover this different and ultimately spent the night in our vehicle.
Following the dispute, we also experienced further concerning conduct from the property operator, including negative online publications relating to our business, despite our stay being entirely unrelated to our professional services.
This experience caused significant distress. We have retained supporting evidence and would not recommend this property.

I drove to the 1st postcode that I was sent but it turned out to be 4 miles from the actual property.
In short 2 different postcodes were sent in separate emails.
The emails did not state that the property would be shared. The young man in the other room was polite enough but I would’ve preferred to know it was shared when booking it.
The door to my bedroom didn’t sit flush to lock it with the code. It was really difficult locking the door when I was going out and used up valuable time.
The bed was unstable too.
I booked for 4 nights,stayed for the first then left,i think that says it all,the room stank of weed.when i got home i had to wash ALL of my clothes,including the ones i hadn't worn that where hanging in the wardrobe...dreadful experience
Felt as if the cottage needed a really good clean,there was a lot of black mould in the bathroom,it needs an extracter fan the,the shower had no pressure and the lights had a motion sensor so kept going out.Bins haven't been emptied and are overflowing. We had to fix the front door because it wouldn't lock.
For £30 a night it was okay but i wouldn't rush back. Sorry
Struggled to get into place. Details sent hours before arrival after I chased them up. Couldn’t find key lock cos it was on front door which was in total darkness. Local guy used his key to let me in. No heating working. Freezing cold in room. Lights not working in kitchen nor toilet/bathroom so couldn’t see to pee
