  Was worried about small fence at end of garden .

  .its quite low and thank goodness our dog is not the type to jump fences cos road other side of fence. Storage heaters don't work but plug in heaters do. Rust on side of Bath. Stairs quite dodgy not wide enough for over 4 feet size feet.have to walk down 1 at a time and hold on. Back door a pain cos have to slam door more than once to close and lock it. Bad dust behind bedroom mirror. I took pictures. Bread crumbs left in breadbin. Fridge had a bad smell when we 1st opened door.freezer needs cleaning inside. 1spot light in kitchen not working but others ok. Cut grass left in garden..saw other visters in book complain cos grass comes into cottage when walked on.same with us. Cottage was freezing mostly due to cold weather. No slip mat in Bath. No coffee and tea and sugar left as a greeting only a packet of biscuits and a bottle of milk. We had to bag up dirty washing for them and hoover all round for our money we payed. A step upto kitchen from frontroom carpet not mark out as trip hazard. Locks on b.room wardrobe hard to turn same as cupboard in frontroom. If you have bad hands not good. Having said all this we did enjoy our stay because we make the most of it.but think this one not upto your usual standards for visters.but think you may need to look around cottage to check for yourselves.thank you very much.

  Our second year in a row here at Waleric House and just as excellent as last year. Next summer is already in the diary. The boys have loved the beach and we’ve ventured much further up this year as well as across the river at low tide. Watch out for Jelly Fish! Much less cooking this year – culinary delights include, The Potted Lobster @ Bamburgh, The Running Fox @ Longhoughton, pizzas from The Red Lion, dinner at The Hope & Anchor, toasties, Portuguese tarts and sausage rolls from Scotts up the road. Dinner at The Whittling House and sausage sarnies from the Geordie Banger Company in Amble Harbour Village. I nearly forgot the ice cream from Spurellis in Amble, a double scoop is huge. The weather has been unpredictable, but it hasn’t stopped us from enjoying the beach every day. This year we also found our way to Sugar Sands Beach near Longhoughton. Stunning. Many thanks, Joanna for providing this beautiful house in such a great setting. The little touches like the bread, scones and making sure there’s milk in the fridge all add to the feeling of being in a home from home. Can’t wait for next year!

  The property would have been perfect but for: 1.

  Work at No 5 made it impossible to enjoy the sunshine in the patio 2. The waste bin was full when we arrived. Unable to take the bin behind No 5 to join the other bins. We were recommended to take the bin out to the lane at the back. I cut two huge 1/2 inch thick briers which and one of the workmen very kindly took the bin out for us. The bin was not collected on Thursday. Contacted Jill on one of your supplied numbers and she arranged for the owner to contact the council. A special uplift was made - thank you Jill. 3. We met the cleaning team as we were leaving at 10am on Friday. Jill took photographs of the mess in the back. 4. The in house EE wifi varied from weak to ok. We have been regular visitors to Alnmouth over the last 30 years. This experience will not put us off the town which is wonderful but we will be asking for assurances that the above problems are not waiting for us when we ARRIVE NEXT TIME.

  We have stayed in Alnmouth many times but it was our first time here and it definitely was the wow factor! Love it! As usual with Coquet Cottages the standard was very high and the welcome pack was very generous. Reggie the dog loved his special dog biscuits thank you. The Red Lion is always good for a drink and they do nice pizza. The Hope and Anchor was good for take away. The harbour fish bar in Amble was excellent. The Fish Shack has great food, the Sun Inn in Warkworth was a sheltered but sunny spot for drinks. We did the walk round the estuary, which then leads to the golf course and back onto the vast beach for bird spotting, where did some rock pooling. The river walk around Warkworth and along to Amble was enjoyable. We visited Barter books in Alnwick on a rainy day. Cragside estate is worth a full day out. Another fab time in Alnmouth.

  Great little cottage tucked away near the coast and the little town of Alnmouth.

  Well equipped (bonus points for a good sized teapot!!) and clean with comfy beds, plenty of room downstairs and in the enclosed garden (great for the dog) the cottage was ideally situated to explore coastal and inland attractions as well as not being too far from amenities. The low beams could be an issue for some, although the signs were helpful reminders. The armchairs/settee are quite deep and perhaps the addition of some colourful cushions would make it more homely and comfy. The weather was a bit mixed and quite cool on arrival so sadly we needed some heating but once we'd worked out the storage heaters it was very cosy. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the area is beautiful.
