  We were unfortunately let down on a cottage booking we had made on line with another provider. We contacted Coquet and they couldn’t have been more helpful, all the staff I’ve spoken to had been so friendly and helpful. We booked Seaview in Craster as it was just were we wanted to go, booked on the Sunday and arrived on the Monday so very short notice. Arrived at Seaview and what a lovely surprise to have a welcome box for us and the dog waiting along with fresh flowers! In the box there is bottled water, bottle of wine, beer, tea, coffee, chocolate, biscuits, fresh loaf, conserves as well as fresh milk and butter in the fridge! The Dog bag had towels, treat and poop bags. Just an illustration of the effort they go to and the thought put in. Seaview is a fantastic cottage set over 3 floors and finished to a very high standard. Lovely big conservatory, great kitchen with all you need (including a big range cooker). Lovely living room with log burner. 1st floor a double and a twin bedroom, a huge family bathroom with large bath and a wet room shower, sink and toilet. Up to the 2nd floor in the converted loft, there is a big double with en-suite, shower wet room with sink and toilet. Parking for 2 cars outside with a couple of outside places to sit and enjoy the peace and quite. The Ship Inn bar/restaurant is 2 minutes walk and Craster village with its bar and restaurants is about 10 minutes walk. Loads to do in the area and the people are very welcoming. Will definitely be using Coquet gain to book and would highly recommend them.

  Great location and apartment - loved being able to open the curtains on a morning and see the sea, with Bamburgh Castle to the north and Dunstanburgh to the south.

  The balcony was sheltered enough so that even on relatively chilly mornings we could still sit out on a morning and get the warmth from the sun. Great location for a base to explore all around Northumberland. Fantastic having the swimming pool on site too! Good idea having the key safe so you don't have to go and find a key holder when you arrive and leave. Only other things I would mention are (i) some cubes of broken glass on the balcony that were swept away to the edge but why not removed? (ii) Strange positioning of the fridge freezer and waste bin meant if you wanted to use them you had to walk round from the kitchen into the living room then back to the kitchen OR move the 3 seater sofa. But would still recommend the apartment and facilities! Can highly recommend The Rolling Pin cafe and Turnbulls food hall both in Alnwick, for a great range of local produce. The Fish Shack on the pier in Amble do a fantastic range of seafood dishes and Kielder Observatory is worth a visit (although it's extremely remote) - needs to be booked in advance though. Barter Books in Alnwick is well worth a visit - you could lose yourself for hours in there and the little cafe is superb.

  A very well equipped and comfortable cottage in a beautiful place: We have had a wonderful holiday! I think that the lounge has everything you could possibly need – thank you! We were out for a lot of the time, but found the conservatory to be a lovely light, airy and comfortable place to sit when we came back. We enjoyed the walk to Craster and excellent food in the Jolly Fisherman. The fish and chips in the pub next to the cottage were also very good. We walked to Howick Hall; highly recommend a visit to the gardens. And the cliff and coastal path back to Craster was stunning. Equally beautiful the other way to Dunstanburgh Castle and beyond to Embleton beach (had a fantastic round of golf!). I’ve had a day up on the moors of the Linhope Estate – Six hours walking and met no one! Simply stunning, although in parts quite challenging. Worth driving to the Breamish Valley even if not a walker. All in all, another wonderful week in Beautiful Northumberland. Thank you!

  Very comfortable cottage in a great location. Everything we needed locally was available. This was the most comprehensive welcome basket we have ever had in any cottage. We loved it! There was high quality provisions, and the doggy welcome basket was wonderful! The conservatory was a gorgeous room, which we used a lot. We loved the fabulous easy walk from the doorstep down into Craster. The high quality furnishings were appreciated. There was a superb laundry room and outside storage, as well as the outside loo! There was also several different places to sit outside. This was our first stay in a Coquet Holidays cottage. We will most certainly be looking at your website first the next time we want to book a holiday in the area.

  No long mirror provided, no table on patio despite being advertised and commented by previous guests.

  Large bed but could do with a memory foam topper as was very firm and uncomfortable. Worst and most serious disappointment was being kept awake for 2 nights until after 12 midnight by the owners and some of his friends who were camping and having a party right below our bedroom windows. Despite us having to ask them to be quiet on the 1st night and other guests commenting on the 2nd night the owners thought it was OK to party and disturb paying guests wanting a peaceful holiday with noisy children and adults until well after midnight. This was totally unacceptable behaviour and was more like Butlins for 2 nights than peaceful luxury self catering. Do not go on holiday to have disturbed sleep. Very disappointing.
