Guests commend the quality of beds, the warmth of the house, and the welcome pack, highlighting the property's suitability for family gatherings and the attentive nature of the host, Darren.

There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.

The location is frequently praised for its good access to local attractions, the coast, and nearby dining options. The convenience for exploring Northumberland and the ease of visiting nearby towns like Berwick and Kelso contribute to a high score.

Guests consistently mention the comfort of the property, noting the quality of the beds and the warmth of the house. The spaciousness and suitability for large groups and families also indicate a high level of comfort.

The facilities are well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen, ample space, and good heating. However, a minor issue with a kitchen tap and a suggestion for more glasses indicate room for improvement.

The welcome pack is mentioned positively in several reviews, reflecting the host's thoughtfulness. While such gifts are appreciated, it is important to note that they are a kind gesture and may not be a standard offering for every stay.

About this property

Cornhill-on-Tweed 3.8 miles. Nestled in Northumberland’s countryside in the charming village of Crookham near Cornhill-on-Tweed is The Coach House. Recognised as the oldest unfortified building in Northumberland, this wonderful holiday home benefits from an array of characterful features paying homage to its vivid history, including original stone flooring, gothic windows, Grade II listed staircase and doors and exposed beams and a wonderful setting close to Northumberland National Park and the Scottish Borders; the perfect setting for families or friends looking to explore the North with three of their beloved canine companions. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and unwind on the plush sofas in the sitting room while the gentle crackle of the open fire warms the room. Later, head into the fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up tasty meals for the whole family that can be enjoyed as a group around the dining table. Step outside to admire the last of the sun on the patio or to burn off the last of your dog's energy in the two acres of paddocks. When the evening draws to a close head inside to wash off the day in either the ground-floor shower room or the first-floor bathroom before retiring to one of five well-appointed bedrooms; choose from a king-size with en-suite, two king-sizes and two ground-floor king-sizes. Whisk away your loved ones for an unforgettable getaway at The Coach House.

Northumberland's northernmost village, Cornhill-on-Tweed, is situated close to the coastal cities of Coldstream and Berwick-upon-Tweed and the Scottish border. The tranquilly and breath-taking beauty of the surrounding countryside make it a popular destination for hikers, bikers, and golfers, while the River Tweed draws many anglers. The Collingwood Arms, a country inn renowned for its excellent beer and food, and a post office/shop that stocks most essentials, characterise the town. The Heritage Coast of Northumberland is easily accessible from Cornhill and features historic castles, miles of beautiful sandy beaches with views of the North Sea, and an abundance of flora and fauna in the dunes. Visitors can easily explore the area's rich history by driving to Alnwick to see the Norman Castle, garden, and unique poison garden. From Cornhill-on-Tweed, you can travel to the Scottish Borders and Northumberland with ease.

    Warm and comfortable great kitchen and comfortable beds. The property is very well furnished and everything is provided. Is in a great location with Coldstream minutes away. Thoroughly recommend the place.

  • Hannah

    Beautiful presented, well equipped & slept 10 very comfortably. Plenty of hot water, comfy beds, super location for exploring Northumberland & we even popped into Scotland! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

  • Paul

    The house suited all our needs as we had 3 generations staying and Darren was very helpful when we asked about specific needs as the oldest was 90. Great location for seeing the area. Welcome pack was really appreciated. We would definitely recommend and are looking at rebooking shortly. Paul
