  This cottage has the potential to be exceptional.

  It's very dark and cosy, which for December was great. It's tucked away without a drive, but we found the on road parking to be absolutely fine. We really enjoyed reading about the property's history, which was included as part of the welcome information. We appreciated the firewood for the first fire, and the sparkling wine in the fridge was a nice touch. There is a well stocked Spar down the road, and it is very close to some stunning beach walks. Communication with the owner was great when we couldn't find the immersion switch for the hot water - friendly and very helpful. If you are considering this cottage, though, know that you will need to bring *everything* with you. There was one toilet roll, one tea towel, one bin liner for the small kitchen bin, no hand soap, no hair dryer (not great to discover that right before a brisk beach walk in December!), no heater in either of the bedrooms. The single tea towel quickly became smelly because there is no central heating so therefore no radiator to dry it on. Many holiday lets we have stayed in have everything you need to make it a home from home - this isn't one of those properties, so just bear that in mind. Finally, for dog owners: the garden is not connected to the cottage. It is totally separate, so letting your dog out for a wee before bed or in the middle of the night isn't an option - you'll need to put their lead on and take them out. Overall a very cosy cottage full of character and history, it just needs a bit more attention to detail.

  Really lovely pod, perfect for the two of us and our dog. We loved the hot tub and found the whole pod absolutely lovely to stay in. However there are some things that we were slightly disappointed with. The pod is dog friendly and we loved the little box of treats and dog bowls, however there is not security for the dog, no gate to the cabin area mean that the dog could very easily get out into the field and subsequently the road, we were lucky that we bought something to block the entry way, so might be something to note for future stays. We would have also liked some more information on arrival, there is an info pack, but it seemed to miss out things such as recycling, how to use the hot tub etc. We also arrived to some sort of meat item which was half frozen in the fridge, we were so unsure as to what this was to begin with, as it was just in a sandwich bag and we thought that it had just been left by previous guests. Although there were some negatives, the positives really outweighed them. The pod is beautiful, don’t up to a great standard, beautiful location and was just perfect for what we needed. We will thoroughly looking to book another trip here later in the year, and would recommend to anyone.

  Saltwater Cottage provided a relaxing holiday because it’s comfortable, very well equipped and situated in a convenient location. There is nothing negative to say about it. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others. The location and availability because we left booking a bit late! We booked Saltwater Cottage, even though there were no photos available and it didn’t have a star rating, because Coquet Cottages only offer excellent accommodation. Everything we needed was there in the cottage so our holiday began as soon as we walked through the door. We liked everything about it! The garage and off road parking are convenient and the patio area and garden are lovely. The TV is great! We were delighted by the toiletries provided and items in the kitchen that can easily be forgotten to bring. The scones were delicious too! Thank you- lovely accommodation.

  We were last here in Saltwater Cottage in October 2022 and this holiday has been just as enjoyable. The forecast for the week was terrible but luckily it was wrong and we’ve had lots of bright sunshine. The walk from Boulmer to Craster is stunning – beautiful bays and plenty of sea birds. The Cottage Inn at Dunstan has excellent food (at very reasonable prices). The Ship Inn has well kept bar. Elan continues to make delicious pizzas. The fish and chip van at Beadnell is a good stopping point (fri-sun) as is The Lazy Cow (farm) selling proper coffee and homemade cakes. High (or Low) Newton to Embleton is a good beach walk – then on to Dunstanburgh and Craster for a seafood lunch at the pub. We hope to be back soon!

  We have had a wonderful stay at Saltwater Cottage. We loved the cottage and thought it was the perfect accommodation for us. It was well equipped and had a beautiful garden. The weather has been perfect despite the bad forecast, warm and sunny. We loved Holy Island, especially the nature reserve, sand dunes, wildlife. Had great trip round the Farne Islands and have been amazed by the birds (Puffins are my favourite) but sadly we didn’t see any dolphins. Bamburgh castle was amazing. We also visited Berwick Upon Tweed which was a wonderful trip. We don’t know this northern park of Northumberland but we will be back to explore some more. Seahouses is also a great spot to explore Northumberland.
