What our customers say about their holidays

  We were in the area earlier than the 4pm check in and we called Danielle to see if we could arrive a little bit early, She checked with the cleaner and then called us back to say it was ready early for us, which was a nice start to our break.

  When we arrived we were greeted by Danielle and her two lovely dogs and she told us about the hot tub, walks in the area and places to eat nearby, all extremely helpful. The cottage was spotless! You could see it had been deep cleaned ready for us, we found a lovely bottle of prosecco and some home made rocky road brownies waiting for us in the kitchen which was a nice touch by the owners. The cottage was warm, cosy and right next to the river Esk. The hot tub was huge and great to relax in on a night with a glass of bubbles ! We had a newly built viewing area down some steps over looking the river, this would be lovely on a warm morning/evening to sit and watch the wild life. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of wardrobe space, could have done with more hangers in the wardrobe and one of the roller blinds was broken, no pully to open/shut the blind. Bathroom was light and airy and has a very good shower, plenty of towels (even though we took our own too), the shower glass door is very loose and can open so water can go on the floor, this needs attention. Kitchen was a great size and had plenty of cupboards but few glasses, only 1 wine glass and no prosecco glasses. It has two plastic glasses for out side but not great to drink out of while chilling in the living room, and needs a blind at the front door window. Outside area was relaxing and plenty of wood and matches for the chimenea, it does have a small two seater wicker sofa but the cushions had been left out so they were wet and mouldy, not sure why these weren't brought into the cottage ? so we couldn't use that seating area. We are been a little picky with these issues but they are so small and could be easily remedied to make the cottage even better than it is, we will definitely be going back, such a relaxing spot away from everything, just what's needed if you want a chilled out break!

  A truly beautiful holiday at Snettisham Mill. Idyllic, peaceful and relaxing setting. The back garden - Wow! What a gorgeous tranquil view, especially watching the ducks on "Golden Pond" as we nicknamed it, although believe it's fed by the river Ingle. We even met the owner of the property, John, who had come to check on some ground works that had been done, made him a cuppa and had a good chat. Everything was here that we needed including a lovely welcome pack. Very comfy bed in the main bedroom, also very quiet on a night time. Our 4th time in Norfolk but first on this coastline, such a lot to see - beautiful, massive beaches. We have left a little free booklet that we picked up 'The Guide' which contains loads of info on the area inc tide times and bus times. For a special meal try 'The Old Bank' if you can get booked - food just amazing - not cheap but worth every penny, food cooked to perfection, friendly atmosphere. Rose and Crown - Sunday lunch great! Was interesting at Wells-next-the-Sea - lovely place, sat on barge having a fab fresh crab salad. Burnham Market worth a visit as is everywhere on this beautiful coastline. Thanks to all involved in making this a great holiday stay!!

  Our stay at Carwinley Mill House Cottage was absolutely wonderful, and we were greeted with a very warm welcome by the owners, then shown around as soon as we arrived.

  The cottage had recently been refurbished and we were completely taken aback by how lovely it looked, by the work that had been done to it, and it's history. It was clean, roomy, and absolutely gorgeous! There was plenty of space for two, and outside, the cottage's position created a perfect sun trap at the top sitting area, which was great for relaxing, plus jacuzzi sessions were made even more enjoyable by the nature that was hiding in and around the trees, and the sound of the river. The second sitting area was a few steps below and opened up onto a lovely decked balcony, overhanging the river. It really couldn't get more tranquil. Longtown is perfect for travelling to Scotland, the Lakes, the border, or exploring further south, and my husband and I stayed at Carwinley Mill House Cottage for a week, which for us, wasn't enough, but we had to come home (although we honestly didn't want to leave!) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we will be booking to stay again. Danielle, Jed, Trevor and Danielle's mum were all so warm and friendly, it really topped off our stay. A huge thank you to you all! We'll be back.

  Lost Lobster Cottage is absolutely gorgeous, I especially loved all of the lobster themed decorations and mugs! I have historically looked for properties in the Warkworth area but wanted to find a new location for exploring a different part of the coast. Lost Lobster has all the character and charm of what I have come to love about booking with Coquet Cottages. It really is such a lovely cottage, so warm and well equipped. It felt like a family home rather than a holiday home. The kitchen is amazing, even down to the recipe books. The shower and bath are just such a luxury and I made the most of a good deep bath to soothe my tired legs after long beach walks. The beds are super comfortable and it was so nice to sleep in bedding like the ones I have at home. The front and back porches made it so easy make sure our dogs were clean and not bringing sand and muck into the rest of house. Coquet Cottages will always be my go to company for my trips to Northumberland because the standard and attention to detail of all your cottages is beyond brilliant.

  Lovely peaceful surroundings, hot tub was good when it worked properly.

  WiFi was very poor and worked intermittently. Some maintenance required in the grounds as the trees and bushes are taken over with the banister not available for the full duration of the steep steps down to the decked area at waterside due to brambles and nettles over growing. I would recommend to the owner the installation of some netting at the doors with a magnetic closure in middle, this would allow the freedom of having the French doors open without the worry of allowing too many flies inside, as it is nice to allow the fresh air in. The couch in the livingroom lacks a little support so when you wish to relax inside in the evening it can be difficult without constantly moving cushions around to assist. Although there is room for improvement, this is a lovely place that is only a short drive from the motorway but far away enough away for peace and quiet.
