Garden Cottage Reviews

A lovely little cottage, perfect for humans and dogs. Its ideally situated on a working farm not far from Alnmouth, Alnwick, and lots of other little villages and towns. Garden Cottage is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing, peaceful holiday. The cottage is also close to walking paths which lead to the beautiful, golden beaches at Alnmouth and towards Amble. The little garden attached to the cottage is enclosed by stone walls or by fencing. However, we recommend you supervise your dog even in this area, and keep them on a lead at all times. When we attempted a tiny bit of freedom within the garden, one of our rascals jumped onto the low wall, whilst the other two tried to burrow under a gap at the bottom of the gate!
Claire
A beautiful, cosy little gem. Garden Cottage was spotlessly clean and really comfortable. A perfect weekend getaway close to lots of the stunning beaches of Northumberland. We loved the chocolates and the starter pack of logs. The beds were very comfortable and the decor was really tasteful. Fabulous and would highly recommend
What we needed after a hectic year of work was a quiet and relaxing break over the festive period. That was exactly what we got. A very comfortable single storey cottage with all the amenities of home with the added bonus of views to Coquet Island and Alnmouth. Countryside walks for the pooches straight from the front door. Plus it was only a short distance to those ever so crowded Northumberland beaches too. Far enough away from civilisation for the seclusion but also close enough to Amble or Alnwick for shopping. Unfortunately, like all good things, it had to come to an end though. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend to friends. .
Had an amazing stay cottage was lovely would definitely book again people very nice and friendly
Christine
The cottage was great for me and my daughter, with plenty of room for her two dogs. The wood burner was a welcome addition for cozy nights in, and the living room and bedrooms were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped we obviously had to get everything to cook with. We had to take the dogs outside and round to the garden we couldnt just let them out the door but this is obvious from the photos of the property and wasnt an issue. Its a fabulous base for exploring the Northumbrian coastline.
Rachael
Great location with lots of lovely walks from the door.
Jacqueline
We had a lovely week the cottage was in the perfect place for all nearby towns, the only thing I would have like would be patio doors to out onto the garden.
Our family had a fantastic holiday, the cottage was spacious and very well equipped with everything you would expect in a home. The bedrooms were large and the beds comfortable. Central to all attractions. My only observation of my daughters with dogs was that you do not walk directly out to the back garden, you have to walk round to the side of the house. 10 out of 10
We really enjoyed our stay at Garden Cottage its very peaceful and relaxing. You need to make sure you have the essentials with you when you arrive as there is only a small shop in Alnmouth, although there are a few supermarkets in Alnwick . We walked into Alnmouth which takes an 40 minutes the beach is lovely and our dogs loved it.
Phillip
Peaceful and happy place to stay. Close to some lovely beaches and places worth visiting. Would be happy to stay again
The cottage is in a lovely location near to beaches in Alnmouth and Warkworth which are fab for the dogs. The cottage is quite comfy we stayed a couple of times before so knew what to expect. The owners checked in on arrival day which was nice. We even had good weather so lots of walking. My only negative would be that some of the crockery and glassware were marked down to clients not washing stuff property but may be a wee check by cleaning staff would overcome that. Otherwise a restful and pleasant stay.
Lovely place to stay
Steven
Enjoyed a relaxing week in your comfortable well equipped cottage. Situated in peaceful surroundings but close to all amenities.
Richard
A lovely cottage in a fabulous location. Well equipped and ideal location for exploring the surrounding area. Will definitely visit again in the future.
Rebecca
Lovely cottage in a great location. Clean and comfortable, with everything needed for a enjoyable stay. The kitchen is well equipped with all the necessities. Fantastic garden with lovely views all around. Owners leaving a box of chocolates was a lovely touch.
The property has been renovated to a high standard. The internal fixtures and fittings are nice, modern and of good quality. I have rated the property as 4 not 5 star to reflect relative ratings. I have awarded smiley for the individual elements as it is a high quality 4 star rated property.
Gaynor
Garden Cottage is perfect for a short break or week away. Walkable in just under 3 miles to Alnmouth, and fabulously quiet in the evenings. We had a wonderful time, the cottage was spotless and so cosy. We would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a break in the beautiful Northumberland Countryside.
Robert
A beautiful accommodationvery comfortable with all that we required. Wood burnet available that we used as cold for two days. Easy to get wood either at Sainsbury Homebase of local shop in Lesbury Quiet locality with easy access to Alnmouth and Amble. The cocks and hens in the farm were entertaining. Lovely views across to Coquet island
Teresa
Garden Cottage exceeded our expectations. The cottage was beautifully decorated, well equipped and maintained, cosy, comfortable and quiet, a real home from home feel. The garden and walks from the Cottage door were perfect for our two Labradors. The walk to Alnmouth via the cycle path around 40 minutes. Our hosts were on hand if we needed anything and made us very welcome. The chocolates and Prosecco on arrival a real treat. The chickens, ducks, cockerels and Guinea Fowl all very friendly and very entertaining. Well definitely stay again thank you for having us. Kind regards
Angela
Lovely cottage clean well equipped and pleasant
Elaine
Loved the cottage, spotless and everything we needed in the kitchen. Tastefully furnished and decorated. As other guests have mentioned. It was problematic taking the dogs out late at night with no direct access to the garden and no outside security lighting. The chickens and cockerels kept us entertained. Cottage lovely and warm with plenty of hot water. Have already recommended to friends who will be going to garden cottage in a couple of weeks.
Rachel
Loved the cottage, location and cleanliness. Would've loved a washing machine! Only downside.
No issues with property or location. Big issue was cockerels waking us up at 45 am. We live opposite a farm literally 100yds away so are used to all that noise but the cockerels really were a pain.
Michelle
The only reason this isn't a five star is because to get into the garden you have to go out of the front door, walk around to the back of the property onto the track and open a gate. This means no eating of breakfast in your pyjamas outside without putting a coat and shoes on, and quite majorly, letting the dog out to do her business in the night when needed involved a lot of faff too as we couldn't just open a back door, we had to get shoes and a coat on and go outside with her. We absolutely LOVED the cottage itself, it's beautifully decorated, there's a huge TV, the wifi and all other connections was the strongest signal you can get and there's always hot water for baths and showers. In fact, the bath is the most comfortable one we've ever found on holiday. The owners are really helpful, there are baby bunnies and hares bobbing about outside along with chickens, and the location is wonderfully hidden away whilst still being close to Alnmouth. You really can't go wrong so far as the cottage itself and its location. But we'd only go back if access to the garden from inside the cottage was sorted out. We appreciate that might not be financially possible though, and if you haven't got dogs and don't mind the detour to the picnic table you'd absolutely love it too.
Philip
We had a fabulous week at Garden Cottage, which was made perfect by glorious weather for the whole week. The cottage was very clean, tidy, and well presented, and the farm setting made it very peaceful indeed. The owners checked in with us by text during the week to make sure that everything was ok for us, which was very reassuring without any feeling of intrusion whatsoever. The location was perfect too very central to all the things we wanted to see whilst in Northumberland. All in all a lovely cottage and location no hesitation in recommending to friends and family.
Just had a lovely week at the Garden Cottage. It is a stones throw from the beach, despite being set in the countryside so you get the best of both worlds. The cottage setting is extremely peaceful and if you enjoy watching wildlife there is a lot to see. The cottage itself is very comfortable and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. My only concern was that the garden wall is quite low but I think my dogs were scared of the chickens so didn't really try getting over it! We would def visit again. Hosts were great and thank you for the wine and chocs.
Excellent facilities and the weather was good to us. Highly recommended
Delightful property. The cottage was in a quiet rural setting with stunning views of Alnmouth and close to many stunning beaches along the Northumbrian coastline. Lovely friendly owners who were on hand if you needed them. We will look forward to our next visit and were sorry to leave. Peter, Ella & Nellie
Philip
A lovely cottage on a working farm. Very spacious and nicely decorated. Owners on hand if you need them but they are not intrusive. Its a fair walk to the beach and any amenities, so own transport essential at this cottage. The cottage we stayed in had distant beautiful sea views. No wood provided for log fire but excellent central heating system should you need it. Loved listening to the cockerels. Such a peaceful place to stay. We certainly would go back to this cottage
This was a fantastic cottage which was cosy, clean and well equipped. The location was perfect and off the beaten track only a short walk to the village of Alnmouth. Would definitely recommend to friends and would stay again. I really liked the fact that the owners regularly checked by text that we were okay and we really felt that they just allowed us to enjoy a lovely quiet holiday. Thank you again.
Absolutely lovely, spotlessly clean and well equipped cottage on a working farm just outside Alnmouth. The cottage itself is in a great location about a 40 minute downhill walk into Alnmouth village itself and only about 250 metres from the Northumberland Coastal Path. The owners Lesley and Darren were friendly, helpful and welcoming hosts. My wife and I were greatly impressed with how well decorated, equipped and clean the cottage was and will definitely return.
Beautiful cottage, lovely farm setting. Interior decoration is excellent, furniture tastefully chosen and very comfortable. Good size enclosed garden for our dogs to run around safely. Owners very amenable, friendly and checked with us to ensure we had everything we required. Minor comment that access to the rear garden was not from inside the property, so we had to walk around the cottage with our dogs.
We had a very comfortable stay in the warm and comfortable Garden Cottage. The cottage is in a peaceful rural setting with a view of the sea in the distance across the fields. The drive up to the cottage was flanked by hundreds of daffodils welcoming us! The sea is a twenty minute walk down the hill and the network of brldle paths stretches along the stunning coast and inland too, which makes for great and accessible walking. Darren and Lesley were kind, warm, welcoming and responsive hosts.
Cant believe that there was no mirror in the bedroom. The property could do with a good clean, would I stay there again definitely not.
Overall a nice break , just what we needed. Just a couple of minor recommendations Mirror in the bedrooms The toilet system doesnt flush properly The double bed frame has a sharp edge that I kept banging my leg on at the end of the bed ! The bed itself was fine but I did manage to catch my knee on it every night , quite painful ! Everything else was great , so thanks for the break , we would love to return Jim & Jo
Samantha
The cottage was perfect for us. Bedrooms were a good size, sofas in the living room are so comfortable! Parking was ample for what we needed. Location was great, 2 minute drive to the beach, 510minutes into Alnwick. Cottage was immaculate and owners were contactable the whole time and very helpful. Hairdryer provided, plenty towels provided. Cot and highchair provided which was very handy for us. Kitchen well equipped. Would stay again and would recommend.
