The Old Coach House Reviews

Loved the property , there were a couple of dead wasps and flies which I thought would of been hoovered up before our arrival The garden could definitely do with a bit of care , which I felt let the property down because it really is beautiful Also felt the downstairs shower was a real let down compared to other amenities in the cottage
Catherine
Lovely cottage, easy to find & fantastic location. Well equipped, tidy & roomy accommodation, relaxing after a busy day sightseeing! Definitely recommend the local pub for food, although booking is recommended.
Louise
Our second visit to The Old Coach House and it was just as amazing the second time. Wonderfully comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The garden is excellent and very dog friendly. The location is brilliant for getting to all of the popular places to visit. We will definitely be back.
Lovely cottage in Eglingham about 15 mins drive to Alnwick , not a lot happens in the village one pub and very quiet . Dog walks we tended to drive for better walks away from livestock . We visited lots of National Trust properties and beaches all possible from the Cottage . Slept well, comfy beds . We had travelled a long way from the south , I did feel a welcome parcel should be left as no local shops no soap in bathrooms or cleaning cloths which is odd just one j cloth in kitchen a small detail but should be addressed .
We were really pleased that we picked The Old Coach House for our recent holiday in Northumberland. The property was very comfortable, tastefully furnished, and really well equipped. We liked the secure garden area, which is ideal for visitors with children or dogs. The location of the cottage in the quiet village of Eglingham was perfect for visiting Alnwick and exploring the Northumbrian coast.
Anthony
Very comfortable and enjoyable.
Sigurd
Staying at The Old Coach House has really made our week's holiday in Northumberland. Perfectly located for exploring all the many attractions and scenic wonders the area has to offer, it was spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished throughout. Whatever you need was there, right at your fingertips. Wherever we went each day, we always looked forward to coming home. Always the sign of a good rental. The only disappointment was that the weather wasn't always kind enough for us to enjoy the wonderful garden and patio. But on the occasional sunny day, sitting outside with a glass of wine or cup of tea and admiring the glorious array of plants was absolute heaven. In conclusion, we couldn't fault it. 5 stars in every respect.
The Old Coach House has been beautifully done out and is very comfortable. The village itself is lovely and has an excellent bistro pub. We would very much like to return.
Heather
May 2026 We had a great week in this lovely house in Eglingham, near Alnwick, blessed with fine weather. The house was both comfortable and stylish most thoughtfully practical and beautifully designed.In addition, a restful and enclosed garden for all, humans and dogs. We enjoyed the peaceful village location which was so helpfully near to many coastal walks, lovely beaches, varied attractions of castles, N.T. properties and interesting towns and villages including dog friendly places to eat. We we would certainly love to re visit.
A very lovely and stylish house, conveniently situated 100m from a great pub with good hearty food. Very comfy beds, comfy sofas, lovely enclosed garden for our dog. Great dog walks straight across the road from the house. Only minor issue was that it would have been nice to have some basics such as cooking oil, kitchen foil, bin bags, sugar etc. We had to go shopping in Alnwick on the morning after we arrived for these dull essentials. However that didnt detract from one of the best houses we have rented for a holiday!
Rachael
Gorgeous cottage lovely interiors and pretty cottage garden. Great spot by a good pub and in easy reach of key attractions Alnwick, Alnmouth, Bamburgh, etc.
Judith
What a gem! The cottage is wonderfully quirky, furnished and fitted with style and flair. It is very well equipped, warm and cosy so we were extremely comfortable.Even the dogs were well catered for and daily romps along miles of local beaches wore them out. We would definitely recommend this cottage to all our family and friends.
Richard
A wonderful property with great facilities in a beautiful village. We were so looking forward to visiting this characterful property and it didnt disappoint with lovingly restored features and all up to date amenities. We love Northumberland and we were well placed to visit the surrounding area. Lovely, welcoming, dog friendly pub. A well deserved 5 Stars. A Christmas Tree would have been more than welcome over the festive period but that is just our own preference.
Magnificent old coachouse packed with history and character. Everything we needed for a peaceful break in a lovely old village. The coachouse has all mod cons facilities wise but maintains it's charm. When we sat enjoying the peace it really felt there was noone around for miles. We enjoyed our visits to the local pub to meet some of the locals. Looking forward to a return visit. Book with confidence you won't be disappointed.
Lovely cottage and location with everything you need for a perfect stay.
I visited the Coach House with a friend as we both needed an escape. Lovely property, quirky decor and a very well equipped kitchen. Great location to explore this part of Northumbria. Sadly too late in the year to make use of the garden which was particularly autumnal. The visiting bird life provided lots of entertainment for us while sitting in the sun room. We would happily stay there again.
Louise
A wonderful cottage that is very clean and comfortable. It has everything you need for an amazing holiday. The garden is very dog friendly. The local pub is a 5 minute walk and does great food. The cottage is very centrally located to visit all of the local tourist attractions. We will be back.
Daniel
A beautiful house and a great location, convenient to many of the beaches and sights near Alnwick. Back garden was lovely and having an enclosed yard was great for the dog. All the rooms were wonderfully decorated. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a amazing holiday.
Thanks to Mark and Helen for sharing their wonderful Old Coach House. Their attention to detail and impeccable furnishings made it difficult to leave. We especially loved the nods to the property's history and county. The kitchen was equipped to a very high standard, the best we have experienced in years. The location is perfect, within an short drive of key places to visit. Although we looked forward to getting back to sit in the garden each day, listening to the evening birdsong and watching the nightly bat show.
The Old Coach House is really lovely, Eglingham is quiet and idyllic, situated equally between the hills and countryside and the coast, making days out different and interesting. We loved the house, it was extremely comfortable especially the beds, which wore the loveliest bedding. The kitchen had everything you needed and more to produce home cooked meals, it was extremely clean and well looked after. We were accompanied by our dogs, Charlie and Penny, we always worry about the garden being secure for them as Penny is tiny and can sneak through small holes, this garden was completely secure, we could relax knowing the dogs were safe. The owners, Mark and Helen, are easy to speak to if necessary, although we only wanted to contact them to tell them that we were having a good time. We would recommend this house 100 and look forward to returning at some point later in the year.
The property is perfect, has everything needed for a relaxing stay. Beautiful garden which is so quiet and peaceful for chilling in the late afternoon sun after days spent out adventuring. The garden is great for dogs with full height fencing and walls surrounding the property. The house itself is lovely, maintaining many of the original features, lots of space and great touches giving it the luxurious country living vibe. The location is perfect for exploring the Northumberland National Park and the gorgeous coast, as well as plenty local walks from the doorstep. There is a lovely traditional pub just along the road that serves food and it's only a short 15 minute drive to the bustling town of Alnwick.
The cottage was amazing. Highly highly recommend.better than we imagined . Love all the decor and detail .Thankyou
