This is a very lovely cottage, well appointed with excellent facilities. Although situated on the road through the village it is vey quiet indeed.
Buses to Morpeth & Newcastle and Alnwick stop right outside.
Northumberland is a beautiful county with outstanding sites and beaches to visit.
Northumbrian people are so friendly and welcoming and there are lots of events in the Village Hall and the wonderful Gallery with crafts for sale and regular events and classes.

Felton is lovely, only 15 mins from beautiful beaches and nice restaurants nearby.
The property was well equipped and had comfortable beds and great TVs! We really enjoyed the welcome hamper, thanks. The communication with owner via email was quick and efficient and the digital guide was really helpful.

We loved our first visit so much we booked to stay over Christmas. Christmas at Riverside Cottage was a delight. When we arrived the cottage had been decorated with lovely and welcoming Christmas touches.
Riverside Cottage is very comfortable, homely and furnished as a befits a lovely old cottage - full of character and charm. The kitchen is a wonderful space and any keen cook will be delighted by how well equipped it is. The beds are super comfortable and the bed linen and towels pristine. The cottage is set on the riverside between two peaceful villages. The Welcome hamper was wonderful, with cakes, scones, quiche slices, and a large sourdough loaf. There was milk in the fridge. Northumberland is full of history and we particularly enjoyed our second visit to Hadrian's Wall. We did not eat out but food at the Northumberland Arms, close to the cottage, looked good. We cannot recommend this gorgeous cottage more highly.

Excellent quiet village accommodation, with both a pub, cafe/bakery and shop very handy. Very comfortable beds and an ideal central location for visiting the lovely Northumberland coast line, it’s many castles and gardens and only 1 mile from the A1. Highly recommended 5 stars all round.

There are so many reasons to recommend this cottage. Firstly it is very comfortable, everything has been thought of. The welcome hamper comes from the lovely bakery across the road called the Running Fox which is truly wonderful. The cottage has 2 bedrooms with very comfortable beds, pillows and sheets. The kitchen is well equipped and has microwave and dishwasher.
Secondly, it is well located, perfect for exploring Northumberland. It is located about 6 miles from the coast at Amble and is within easy reach of Seahouses, Warkworth, Alnwick and Hadrians wall. The cottage is set in a beautiful little village of West Thirston, with the pretty River Coquet just across the street. The roads are quiet and there are dog walks available right outsid the door along the river. Dog towels are provided to rub down your dogs.
Thirdly it has 2 lovely pubs within 50 yards. Firstly the highly rated Northumberland arms is just a few doors away serving high quality food, is dog friendly and has lovely friendly staff. Across the street is the Foxes Den underneath the Running Fox which is where the local gather and it is as friendly and jovial a place as you could wish for. Again dogs are most welcome.
When our dog fell ill, we had an excellent vet in Alnwick who saw her on a Sunday and made her well again.
(Morris and Plumley).
We had lovely meals out in Amble at the Harbour Inn (dog friendly) and the Hermitage in Warkworth (also very dog friendly) as well as the Northumberland Arms. There is a general store/post office in the village for emergency provisions and good supermarkets at Alnwick.
The afternoon teas at the Running Fox are a must do, but just sitting in the suntrap in the back courtyard of the cottage was a treat.
Altogether a pleasant stay, unbelievable weather 25C+ every day and unbroken sunshine made this a special holiday, but this is a lovely cottage with decent parking and good amenities. Highly recommended
