A lovely clean and well equipped cottage on a relatively quiet road and central for exploring the Northumbrian coastal towns & footpaths.Excellent set up with the host, their little website (didn't need to use their app), and the coded front door unlock/lock.I've knocked a star off purely because: yes, it's a character cottage; but, apart from the fancy door lock & the bed linen, the word luxury doesn't fit. I would better describe it as a rustic character cottage.I still highly recommend it.I highly recommend both the Running Fox for breakfast in the village and the Fish Shack in Amble, too.

Great communication with owner. Clean, cosy cottage with everything we needed.The setting is so pretty. Dog walks on river on your doorstep. Pub food was delicious, as was the breakfast at the cafe. Will definitely be back.

Situated on the banks of the River Coquet this is a charming, cosy and snug little cottage with every facility you need. Warmly lit with fairy lights to welcome you, there’s a superbly generous welcome hamper from the nearby Running Fox cafe, thoughtfully catering for dietary needs. The village is quiet and peaceful, with nearby parking easily sought. Close to the A1 it is easy to reach most places along the coastline. Book a boat trip to the Farnes and Holy Island for a sure highlight. Directly on the St Oswald’s Way straight from the door, there are plenty of Northumbrian walking destinations for all abilities and an abundance of stunning beaches and castles for those scenic days out. The upmarket Northumberland Arms along from the cottage serves quality food in stylish surroundings and only a little further afield in nearby Shilbottle, the Lal Khazana will easily satisfy every Indian food lover. Or try the Fish Shack in Amble for a quayside fresh fish menu. There are so many things to see and do you wouldn’t hesitate to book another stay. An excellent choice all round, thank you to the host Andrew for a very comfortable week.

It was a lovely place and we enjoyed our stay. Sadly, there was no return communication from the host at any time, hence the 4 and not the desired 5 star rating. The place could do with a coffee machine but that did not spoil it as the coffee shop was across the bridge.
