The Coach House is a luxury two-person self catering holiday cottage beautifully located in Northumberland National Park, near Alnwick – Now redesigned and completed in an even more luxurious style ensuring our guests’ comfort on holiday.
This romantic and enchanting 18th century property is a top end luxury holiday cottage sympathetically converted to create a characterful hideaway perfectly suited to a couple.
Entering through the half-stable door into an entrance lobby, you are led into the light and airy kitchen / dining room which is well equipped with bespoke contemporary kitchen and dining area. The charming lounge features beautiful exposed polished beams and stripped antique pine floors, upholstered window seats, a wood-burning stove in a stone fireplace, two-seater settee and leather club armchair together with wall mounted flat-screen smart television, DVD and a new sound system complete with ceiling speakers throughout the cottage. Full oil fired central heating.
The working shuttered windows and upholstered window seats overlook the horse paddock and a regularly visited Red Squirrel feeder on a massive veteran Sycamore tree growing in the main drive. Outside the front door is a sheltered paved corner with table and two chairs facing west, plenty space to park your car and also use of a seating area on the rectory lawns with a backdrop of the Cheviot Hills.
A galleried bedroom on the first floor features quaint shuttered arched windows, north and south facing, full head height in the centre and sloping pine ceilings to the eaves. A choice of twin beds or a super-king-size bed is available together with a sound system and ceiling speaker. Fluffy white towels and bathrobes. Guest’s choose from a pillow menu to ensure comfort.
The fully tiled bathroom is at ground floor level and has a double ended jetted hydrotherapy bath and and walk-in wet-room incorporating a rain shower and power-shower hose.
Step out from the Coach House and explore our beautiful National Park surroundings on foot or by using the high-quality bicycles we provide with this cottage – a choice of either mountain or country lane hybrid bikes and now also complimentary electric bicycles. Quiet country lanes and tracks are plentiful with many walks or rides beginning directly from the cottage.
After exploring your beautiful new surroundings, return to your bespoke country cottage with its real log burner and all the thoughtful finishing touches like hot chocolat velvitiser, nespresso, wine cooler and bbq
Early arrival is available from 3.00 pm. You will be greeted by the smell of hot crusty bread and home-made soup, and the option to order a hot home cooked meal ready for your arrival.

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Coach House.....it was like home from home. Loved the Velvetiser and Bread Machine, we tried the bread mix and our loaf came out amazing and so privileged to be the first guests to try Henriettas eggs! Graham, Trysha and Sue were helpful and 5 star friendly, welcoming. Lovely hosts.

What a find! Beautiful place in a fabulous setting - can't wait to return. Graham was very welcoming and informative about the cottages and area. Farne Islands were a highlight - seeing nesting birds at our feet was such a treat - Puffins were as beautiful as ever. Wonderful bird life - Paul has seen 83 species whilst on this weeks' break - with over 50 during his walks from the cottage. Barn Owl hunting along the valley was exciting.

Thank you Trysha and Graham for your excellent hospitality. The little things - knowing our names on arrival; the card on the table; the fresh bread waiting for us; the flowers and chocolates; the helpful service (finding out about Cragside opening times) all made our time here very special. We will recommend you wholeheartedly and would love to return again.
