  What a beautiful cottage – so clean & beautifully appointed. The delicious goodies in the welcome pack were quickly enjoyed, so thoughtful. It was so peaceful sitting out in the walled garden & wandering up the road. Gazing at the Milky Way, crystal clear. Running the gauntlet with the pheasants & grouse. Enjoying clucking to the friendly chickens. We recommend Bamburgh castle & beach. The Potted Lobster where we had the seafood platter. If you want to have this then don’t eat for at least 8 hours before! The whole coastline is stunning – wandering on pristine almost deserted beaches, cute villages, imposing castles. Lindisfarne a gem with its tidal causeway. Cragside was a lovely find – National Trust. Reserve a full day for its fascinating house (another residence of the Armstrongs – also of Bamburgh Castle fame) and beautiful grounds full of hidden treasures. It was so lovely knowing we would come home to Holburn Mill Cottage each day. Build a fire and cosy in with the thoughtful & fun games provided. Thanks also for the maps and guidebooks. We’ll be back!

  First of all, thank you so much for the huge welcome pack – delicious! Furthermore, your cottage is absolutely wonderful, so warm, cosy and clean. It will be hard to leave. I loved the sound of the nearby stream and the sky on clear nights. We even saw two shooting stars. New Year’s Eve was calm and relaxed, just what we wanted. Of course, I have to mention the weather as we had a variety of it; our week started with mild temperatures, hard winds and some rain, to be continued with degrees below zero and a lot of sunshine. In the end there was snow all around us. As the area offers a large amount of things to do it was a bit difficult to decide what to do. We did go to the beautiful coast, went hiking in the Cheviot Hills, covered in snow and had incredible views and did some walks from the doorstep including St. Cuthbert’s Cave. Again, thank you very much for this amazing week. We intend to come back soon in order to complete our hiking plans and sightseeing tour.

  We’ve had a lovely week and have been so fortunate with the weather. We have loved every minute here especially being greeted by ‘the girls’ on our arrival & every time we went to hang out the washing. Even sitting in the garden they kept us company & provided us with the freshest most delicious eggs. Our first visit to Northumberland, we’ve loved discovering its history, it’s wonderful sandy beaches, its castles, Holy Island of Lindisfarne and sampling the local food especially on the veranda of The Jolly Fisherman at Craster. A special mention and thank you to our hosts Alan and Christine for their genuine friendliness & concern for our comfort & happiness.

  A lovely cottage in a peaceful setting. We were particularly impressed with COVID precautions and general cleanliness of the cottage. Excellent welcome pack on arrival. Location was the key factor since this was an area of Northumberland with which we were not familiar and it was excellent. It was also important to be all on one level and to be pet (dog) free. The cottage was lovely in all aspects. The generous local produce in the welcome pack provided for all our needs. Excellent. The owner was most helpful and friendly. We have used Coquet Cottages previously and have always found the company to be trustworthy and relaiable.

  Very comfortable. Thank you for a lovely stay in your beautifully renovated cottage. You have provided all we needed for a comfortable break in very peaceful surroundings. We appreciated the little extra touches, such as the welcome pack, door hooks, Wi-Fi and well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed visiting Lindisfarne and Bamburgh Castle despite rather cool weather and some rain on the Sunday. If we come back in warmer weather we will enjoy sitting in the lovely secluded garden! It was nice to meet you both and have a chat about the mill and surrounding area.
