Thank you so much for being a brilliant holiday company to book with! From start to finish your service was professional, helpful and friendly. The accommodation was superb and the welcome hamper was extraordinary. It was the first visit to Northumberland for us and our friends and my goodness what a fantastic county. Everyone we came into contact with was so friendly and welcoming – not something you find in all areas! We shall definitely be coming up again and have already been looking at possible cottages on your site. Congratulations and well done.

Lovely stay – the only problem was our stay wasn’t long enough! Beautiful accommodation and lovely scones waiting for us. Very close to many of the attractions and Bamburgh is a must! We would definitely stay again.

An amazing cottage, large, spacious and fully equipped with everything we needed. We were delighted by the welcome pack of local food and our dog Jessie loved the venison sausage treats that were provided! Alnwick is a very nice little town. We had a lovely meal at the Mumbai. The Playhouse is great too for theatre and cinema showings. The surrounding area is lovely. All the beaches are amazing and dog-friendly too! Holy Island, Alnwick and Bamburgh Castles are well worth a visit as is Hadrian’s Wall. We even collected sea glass at Seaham! We had a great holiday and love to stay with Coquet Cottages again! Thank you.
