“I have already sent feedback.”

I complained about the cost of the booking fee and additional costs which adds at least another £100 to the cottage fee. I think Alnmouth is pricing itself out of the market. Over the last 20 years since I have been visiting cottsge rentals have risen considerably. Also why did you allow Skye’s cottages take over rentals? Some answers would be appreciated. It’s up to you whether you publish this.

“We throughly enjoyed our stay in the comfortable and well-appointed Coach House in it’s lovely tranquil setting in lovely Alnmouth.”

The additional bonus of access to such a beautiful and well-provided secluded garden was an unexpected delight.

“Coach House is small, but had everything we needed.”

There is a parking space and a lovely private garden, both of which are difficult to get in Alnmouth and it was a two minute walk to the beautiful beach. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The only issue, which we left feedback for, was that the downstairs bedroom was quite cold and the storage heater was not effective. If an additional plug in radiator was provided, it would solve the problem. Otherwise, it is a perfect little cottage in a great location.

- Carol, July 2024

So pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. For info the heater in bedroom is a new panel heater and had been put on standby by mistake as normally it keeps the room at an ambient temperature. Property Owner

“This was such a wee hidden gem.”

Maybe more mats at entrance so shoes don't go on carpet, near washing machine? Otherwise all fab

“We had a super stay in the Coach House.”

Very comfortable beds. Good seating. Being able to have a parking space was essential to us and it was just outside the cottage so it was ideal. We loved Alnmouth itself, and we would like to stay again in the future. We would definitely book the Coach House again as it was so pleasant to stay in for a week with the living space planned just right.

Sally February 2024

“Great location just a short walk from shop, pubs and cafes, quiet and with the benefit of a parking space.”

Wonderful coastal walks right from the village with many fantastic places to visit close by. Beautiful shared garden for good weather days. Very comfortable bed and good quality linen. Spotlessly clean. However, we felt there was the feel of a place managed from a distance, the few leaflets/guides were out of date, instructions very out of date and kitchen while generally well equipped needs new frying pans and prep knives are cheap and bendy. Bathroom door needs attention, a bit shaving off? It sticks.

- Sally, February 2024

The Agency are in the process of replacing all the information leaflets and frying pans and new sharp knives have been replaced. Thank you for your feedback which enables us to keep the cottage maintained to a high standard. Property Owner

“A charming property, ideally situated just off the main street and - very important in Alnmouth - its own off-street parking space.”

Well equipped, comfortable bed in main bedroom. It was pleasant to have a bottle of wine awaiting us on arrival and to have milk in the fridge. We loved it.

“Beautiful cottage in the centre of Alnmouth, easy walk to all amenities but in a quiet position.”

Car parking easy. Has everything you require for a lovely holiday.

Theresa October 2023

“Coach House is a comfortable property, providing all the amenities needed for a week in Alnmouth.”

It's quirky style, with lounge and kitchen upstairs, and main bedroom downstairs, serves to add to it's appeal. All items needed for cooking are provided as are towels and tea towels. And what a welcome surprise in finding a bottle of wine and nibbles waiting for us! Thank you.

- Theresa, October 2023
Pamela September 2023

“The Coach House is a very nice, well maintained property.”

It is in a quiet location, just off the main road through Alnmouth, close to pubs, restaurants and a great beach. The village shop is very well stocked. I would definitely recommend this property.

- Pamela, September 2023
Carol July 2023

“This was a return visit to the Coach House as we loved the property last year.”

Although small, it had everything we needed including use of a beautiful private garden and a parking space (rare in Alnmouth). Very comfortable cottage, fully equipped, lovely hot shower and comfy beds. Already booked to return next year.

- Carol, July 2023
Louise June 2023

“Lovely property, great location in the centre of the village with parking.”

Alnmouth is a lovely village, ideal location for visiting Northumberland coast and country and to walk from the front door around the village or further on to Alnwick. We will definitely be back.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the coach house.”

Thank you for the wine and Pringles! Fantastic location in the centre of the village. Very spacious for 2 people, maybe a bit tight for 4 adults. Good supply of crockery and cutlery in a well equipped kitchen. All perfect for the two of us really. Brilliant to have the parking space as it is a busy village and parking can be a challenge that we did not have to worry about. Also lovely to have access to the shared garden. Briefly met the owner who was lovely, thank you, we enjoyed our stay very much

“Again another lovely stay .”

So well positioned off the Main Street with a lovely garden. Light and airy living space and comfortable sitting area. We will be back , many thanks M Pateman

Richard April 2023

“Very comfortable property; too much crockery and cutlery: not enough room for our own packed food.”

Non stick frying pans in poor condition. Only one cleaning cloth in whole property. Lovely garden, but seats covered in bird droppings and no cushions. Were cushions available? Guidelines for the property were Covid based, out of date. Car parking adequate, but target of daily bird droppings!

- Richard, April 2023

We normally put the cushions out when weather is more settled (they were in a chest under pergola). The bird droppings get cleaned every week but we have a lot of wildlife in the garden - apologies for any inconvenience . Property Owner

The bathroom handbasin was extremely small and the centrally placed taps made it very difficult to use and the cabinet above the basin made it quite easy to hit your head

“No baking tray ?”

? I'm nitpicking as the kitchen was superbly stocked ( fairy liquid too) water tank doesn't hold enough to fill an entire bath but again. I'm nitpicking. overall superb.

“The description of the property, although accurate, didn't fully disclose where the property was.”

We didn't expect to to be looked over from every window - we thought it would be more isolated. At some point in the past this would have been a lovely holiday cottage, but it's in desperate need of a refurbishment and some TLC. Virtually all the heaters are faulty and need replacing, we were only kept warm with the temporary oil heaters that were provided. The bathroom was freezing cold - the radiator only heated a third of the way up and the fan heater didn't work at all. Although it looks like a new shower has been fitted, with decent pressure, you can never get it very hot, to much pressure and no easy to turn it down so that it warms up properly - a plumber should be able to get that sorted very quickly. Need some extension leads so that you can plug in your phones, etc in the bedroom - only single power points and all in use with lamps. We rented another cottage from you last year for roughly the same price (night for night) and was absolutely thrilled with that cottage. However, The Coach House was an utter disappointment, for the reasons above and we feel that we were significantly overcharged for this unloved cottage. Small things make you feel that it's a great property - we were there only 3 days, but we had to go out and buy bin bags, silver foil, toilet rolls, extension leads and even salt. It feels the owners are simply keeping their costs to the minimum and not making our expensive break something to remember (for the right reasons). We really wished we'd booked the same cottage as last time - we will never come back to the coach house or recommend it! What should have been a lovely break to Alnmouth was soured by the poor accommodation.

“In an increasingly busy and popular Alnmouth The Coach House has secluded privacy at the same time as being close to beach, shops and amenities.”

The garden is beautiful and a quiet and spectacular sitting out area. The dedicated parking space is a valued essential in a busy village where other options are very limited. The accommodation provides all comforts for a peaceful and restful holiday.

About the location

ALNMOUTH

Alnwick 4 miles.

Situated just 4 miles east of Alnwick, Alnmouth is a charming resort popular with golfers and those seeking a peaceful holiday. The village lies on a narrow spit of land between the River Aln and the North Sea and was originally the port for Alnwick. Nowadays the area has returned to its unspoilt origins and offers a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as an excellent “links” golf course and some great rivers for fishing, as well as boasting miles and miles of splendid beaches and sand dunes to explore which afford stunning views of the North Sea. A short drive will bring you to Alnwick with its famous historic castle, The Alnwick Garden housing the Poison Garden which runs guided tours through dangerous botanicals and a variety of pubs and restaurants. Alnmouth is well situated for exploring Northumberland.
