We had a lovely week at Riverside Cottage. The cottage is in a village with an excellent pub and cafe, both serving delicious food.
The cottage was spotless and is very well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. We arrived to an extremely generous welcome hamper with lots of delicious goodies. Good location to visit the beautiful coast and we were able to do lots of walking with our dog.
There are no facilities for recycling at the cottage and we struggled to find anywhere nearby to take recyclables so ended up bringing them home. The only garden space is a very tiny concreted area at the rear.

This is our 2nd stay at Riverside Cottage and it was lovely to be back, everything was just the same so we were able to get there and get straight on with our holiday, lovely little cottage in a fab village. The walk along the river is seconds away and The Running Fox over the bridge is as always amazing. We love coming to this cottage because it is very cosy and its close proximity to the A1 so we can visit all over Northumberland, would highly recommend.

"Best cottage ever" Kids booked this cottage as a Christmas present and their research certainly paid off. Everything was perfect from the location to the cottage itself. The thought that had gone into it by the owners was obvious including the lovely welcome hamper and an excellent guide handbook. Just off the A1 and minutes away by car to fantastic beaches. Our poodle loved it too with lovely walks just outside. Will definitely be returning.

"A marvellous base from which to explore the south of Northumberland" Riverside Cottage offers quality accommodation, perfect for a couple. All the amenities are there and especially helpful are the many laminated guidance notes for the electrical appliances, heating, TV etc. The location sits midway between coast and hill country, a mere 10 minute drive from the fine town of Alnwick. Directly outside the cottage is a most scenic bridge and stretch of the river Coquette. The most amazing artisan bakery and cafe is opposite.

"A little gem" Lovely cottage, well equipped and in a lovely position for the A1 making it easy to get out and about. Lots of lovely places to visit some with free parking, a rarity nowadays, beautiful beaches, good eating places, and a pleasure to drive around on the many somewhat empty roads, and if like us you did not want to drive every day there was an excellent bus service right on your doorstep. The cottage benefited from the Running Fox bakery across the road but we were thankful we only had a week otherwise we would have been a stone heavier than when we arrived, an amazing shop. All in all a lovely cottage in a lovely village surrounded by lovely countryside.
