  The chalet is sweet and could be made so much better.

  The furniture is all odd and could be arranged better and may be decluttered. The kitchen is tidy and has been tidied up. I took my air fryer and used that 99% of the time apart from the kettle, toaster and microwave. Lots of mugs but you need to pick through as some don’t look like they have been washed too well. The bathroom is great and the shower works perfectly. The main bedroom the bed is a small double and it is very soft and low. It has bedside cabinets which are add but does the job. There is a big built in wardrobe that has the Emerson tank and the main electric switch. Now, this is where I found a problem and also in the 2nd bedroom. There is no electrical sockets at all in the bedrooms. So no charging of phones or iwatches or even a bedside lamp. I like to read but the big ceiling light to read with isn’t very cosy and relaxing. The second bedroom, no sockets and this was a pain with kids and their iPads in the evenings. Again, no where to plug in night lights. I really think money needs to be spent to get sockets put into these rooms. The cleaning does seem to be done. However, the mop that was left should we need to use it or at the end of the stay I like to clean, well the mop was disgusting and I wouldn’t and didn’t use it. I have taken a picture but not sure I can upload it. The chalet cost over £600 for a week and I do think some money should be spent on the property to bring it up to more modern times with the use of devices. Now, WIFI !!!! This is provided by the caravan park and not the owners of the chalets. It is Meant to be 5g WiFi. The signal is really poor. You have to keep putting in the code as it drops out so easily. It cost over £8 for 7 days and you can only use one code per device. So we had 4 iPhones. 2 iPads and this was a real pain. The kids will play games on the iPad in the evening but like to FaceTime their friends and play and talk about the game and help each other. We had some rain so in the evenings when cooking etc having showers etc it was good for the kids to have their devices but I got fed up of the moaning about wifi. The site facilities wasn’t at all pleasing either. The restaurant/bar closed Sunday afternoon and didn’t open until Thursday. There was a swimming pool, that was meant to heated but I am unsure how it is heated as on the really sunny day we did have I was told it was very cold to get in. There isn’t a shop on site. So make sure if you are going in the evening like we did you take milk, bread etc. otherwise it is a drive to the nearest village to get to the co-op before it closed. We did have fun as we went out most days. But home from home it wasn’t. It could be really cosy and an ideal base for exploring. It just needs some work and if allowed I would get my own wifi installed and maybe a smart tv etc.

  Beautiful, comfortable, spotless property in a superb location. The welcome hamper was fantastic. The dog welcome hamper was a great extra touch too! We’ve been to Northumberland many times on holiday, usually staying in the countryside, but we really enjoyed being in Alnwick itself for ease of access to everything. We can really recommend Turnbull’s in town for lunch foods and the one on the outskirts of town for meat and other dining goodies. We had very good fish and chips and gelato from Carlo’s too. We had trips to the seaside at Longhoughton, Beadnell and Warkworth. A walk we have never missed on any visit is from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle – recommend parking in the “field parking” before the main carpark – more space and friendlier! We also enjoyed walking in the national park at Simonside.For people with a dog, there’s a nice park about 5mins away from the property, turn right out of the front door and right up past the police station – the park is near Swansfield Primary School – the park is called Swansfield park. The dog also enjoyed a run off the lead in the landscape below the castle near to the river. And of course we also paid several visit to Barter Books! Our son enjoyed having his own “suite” on the mezzanine! A great holiday – didn’t want to leave! – Many thanks.

  We have had a wonderful stay at The Old Library. We loved the décor and the furnishings. The whole place was way beyond expectations. We have stayed at quite a few cottages around the UK and this is the best by far! We had quite a lot of day trips whilst here but we would really recommend visiting Bamburgh Castle (with some time at the beautiful beach) and a visit to Seahouses to get the boat to The Farne Islands. Alnwick is a lovely little town, with plenty of places to eat, shop and drink. We would recommend The Tanners Arms for a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, a good pint and a place to take your dog. It’s also a stones through away from the cottage. We are going to recommend the cottage to all of our friends as we’ve absolutely loved it!

  An amazing cottage, large, spacious and fully equipped with everything we needed. We were delighted by the welcome pack of local food and our dog Jessie loved the venison sausage treats that were provided! Alnwick is a very nice little town. We had a lovely meal at the Mumbai. The Playhouse is great too for theatre and cinema showings. The surrounding area is lovely. All the beaches are amazing and dog-friendly too! Holy Island, Alnwick and Bamburgh Castles are well worth a visit as is Hadrian’s Wall. We even collected sea glass at Seaham! We had a great holiday and love to stay with Coquet Cottages again! Thank you.

  What a lovely place to stay !

  The thought that has gone into the development of this site on which the lodges are found is superb. So nice to walk around the place with our dog and look at the old buildings which remain from the sites former life many years ago whilst being surrounded by nature and the sound of running water from the nearby river The lodge itself had everything we needed and was absolutely immaculate. Ideally placed for exploring the lakes All in all a great place to stay and we will definitely look to book again on our next visit to the Lake District Jon Bridget and Nelly the springer spaniel
