  Good spacious apartment located on first floor. Access is via central located door to stairwell. Well decorated and mostly clean. Furniture is very nice and comfortable. Kitchen fitted out with all appliances required for a self catering holiday. Bedroom is a good size with storage for clothes. Clean linen and enough towels. Cleaning products for your stay are supplied with enough to last your stay. Bathroom very nice with excellent shower cubicle. Really enjoyed our stay but for us the apartment had a few issues. * Unable to lock bathroom window as sash window does not go fully down in order to secure the catch. Although it’s located on the first floor it is still a security issue. * Shower drain needs a good clean and flush. Plug hole had black mould under the cover and water doesn’t drain quick enough leaving you standing in a puddle while it slowly drains. * No storage for vacuum cleaner so it’s kept in the bedroom wardrobe. This limits the amount of room to store clothes. Broken hanging bar in wardrobe needs repairing. Bottom of the wardrobe was covered in a layer of dust and the vacuum smelled . Didn’t appear to be emptied from previous use and filters had not been cleaned for some time. When the vacuum was used the smell was quite bad. * Although apartment was clean and tidy certain areas appear to have been ignored. The top of nearly all the sash windows were black from dust and mould and could do with a good clean. It appears that cleaning is a bit of a lick and promise and not properly checked before new arrivals. * Could only find one mug upon arrival but next day we found the dishwasher hadn’t been emptied and the other mugs/ cups/plates and glasses we still in there. * There are blinds in the bedroom as with the living area. The apartment could do with curtains especially the bedroom as the blinds alone don’t keep daylight out and it’s quite bright early mornings. * Although information was very good prior to arrival there is a lack of it actually in the apartment. Some literature regarding operation of appliances were found stuffed in a top cupboard. This should be placed in a folder that is clearly visible upon arrival. Also it would be helpful to include a small map of the area highlighting things like shops, restaurants, pubs, beach etc. Also, nearby facilities including takeaways and local attractions. Also, as the apartment is pet friendly the location and contact details of a nearest vet would be helpful. * Arrival and departure times are not very conducive in making it a relaxing experience . I cannot see why you have to vacate by 09.00 and not arrive before 17.00! Many other apartments in the village and elsewhere give you a more relaxed timeframe. I cannot see that it takes a window of 8 hours from people leaving to the new arrivals in order to prepare the apartment when visitors are asked to leave it clean and tidy upon departure! Overall we enjoyed our stay but were disappointed with minor issues that should not of been there if the apartment had been properly checked and things rectified before our arrival!

  The cottage (more of a house than a cottage) is tucked away down a quiet side street off the main road through Warkworth. You can drop a stone out of the hallway window into the River Coquet, that’s how close the river is. The property is finished to a very high standard with quality furniture and soft furnishings, and the welcome hamper is a cut above anything we’ve ever had at other holiday cottages. Great customer service too: we had a couple of issues that needed taken care of whilst we were there, both of which were dealt with promptly by the office (the owner of the cottage even came round and lent us an item from her own house to replace the broken one in the cottage). This is our first stay with Coquet Cottages but, based on this experience, it won’t be our last.

  Absolutely fantastic stay at an exceptionally beautiful house with quality furniture and finished to a very high standard. It is rated 4 star strangely… it is 5 star throughout. To sit by the river at the front of the house and watch swans, herons, baby ducklings and their parents swim past was delightful and we were lucky enough to have the river Coquet to ourselves as the pavement was shut for works. Went back home totally relaxed. We normally always stay at Castle Street cottage which is equally as beautiful. We had a text from Coquet Cottages on the first day to ensure everything was ok which was really nice and great to get a reminder to put the bin out as well. Highly recommended.

  Riverstone is a beautiful period cottage by the River Coquet in the gorgeous Northumberland town of Warkworth with artisan shops, pubs & a fabulous cafe (Bertram’s) a stones throw away. The beach is a leisurely 20 minute stroll & a gorgeous one it is too. The house is very spacious with 2 lounge areas, 3 bedrooms & a gorgeous bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower. We were super impressed by Coquet Cottages. Very communicative, checking in by phone to see if everything was OK & leaving a substantial hamper of treats/newspaper/milk/butter/coffee & tea as well as a vase of fresh roses. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return.

  Absolutely beautiful house, the location by the river is stunning. You could not have made the booking process easier and your service was impeccable. We found the location appealing, this house was so well equipped and provision for everything was so generous. Much appreciated. Loved it all, It was excellent to have basic provisions like milk, bread, butter etc and also all the little luxuries! The scones were delicious and the wine was most appreciated! It was most generous. Everything…..location, comfort, warmth, and the superlative degree of equipment. We wanted for nothing, It was perfect and lived up to expectation on all fronts.
