We had a wonderful stay in The Coach House. The property is perfect for a large group. We loved the fridge/freezer and the water dispenser. Very comfy beds and great showers. You do need to go out on your car quite a bit to see the sights but the games barn made up for that. Please try Carnabys Cafe, which is very near, as it’s amazing!!

We had a wonderful time at the Coach House. Lovely house, well maintained. Lovely surroundings. We had not explored this area before. Loved visiting Alnwick Castle, Bamburgh Castle, Cragside National Trust and Holy Island were the highlights. Definitely coming back to the area and staying at this house. 5 star!!
