"Our stay in the Coach House at Powburn. We had a wonderful self catering week staying at The Coach House. It was very comfortable, home from home. Looking out from the lounge area we could see deer, hares and birdlife in their natural habitat. Richard, the host, was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. All in all, we would score it 11 out of 10, it was so good."

"After returning from our 2 week trip to England and Scotland I would have to say that our 7 days at Richard and Fiona's cottage were the highlight of the trip. From our warm welcome on arrival to the quick response to all our needs (Richard even dropped off some binoculars when we mentioned that we saw some wild hares in the field behind our rental), we were impressed with the service. I would hesitate to even call this a short term rental, it seemed more like a home to us while we were there. The location is a little slice of heaven! We had lazy mornings watching the wildlife out our backdoor, and quiet evenings watching the sunset. Between those hours we explored many castles and villages in the area and put in a lot of steps exploring the beautiful countryside. This was not our first trip to the area, and it won't be our last, but now we know we have a 'home' while we are there. Thank you Richard and Fiona!"

"Modern, quiet and spacious. The Coach House is a large, modern self-contained cottage that is even better in the flesh than the pictures. Upstairs living is spacious and has everything you could need during a stay. They had provided little extras like coffee and milk and some buns and local produce which was a nice touch. The view never ever stopped being fabulous, even in the grey. The downstairs has three super clean modern bedrooms with enormous beds, two ensuites and one family bath. The cottage was super quiet and dark and, apart from some clammy radiators which are being looked at, it was a great place to sleep. The communication with Richard was superb. The location, as a base to see Northumberland, was much easier to get to and from than it looks on a map. It was easy to get around and nice to have the national park on your doorstep inland, as well as all the seaside attractions so close too. The pub was fab. Shame it doesn’t do evening food. But maybe one day. I’d definitely consider booking again. Pretty much faultless. "

"The accommodation is gorgeous and the hosts are warm, very welcoming and helpful. The views are incredible. We stayed over Christmas and the accommodation was decorated with lovely festive trees and lights. There is a very generous welcome basket. The hosts are on hand for any questions, but equally give you privacy. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and had everything provided. It is fresh and beautifully set out and decorated."

"A Gorgeous Place To Stay In Beautiful Northumberland. We were six women on a weekend away for a 50th Birthday celebration. The Coach House was perfect for us as all the rooms could be made with twin beds, which were extremely comfortable and great for sharing. The accommodation was immaculately clean and sparkly throughout and the lovely, well-sourced kitchen had everything we needed to make a celebratory evening meal as soon as we arrived. It was a really kind and lovely touch that the very friendly property owners, Fiona and Richard, had set up the dining table beautifully for our arrival after I just happened to mention on the phone that we would be celebrating with an evening meal the night we arrived. The views from the property were absolutely stunning and as it snowed the day after we arrived we were more than happy to get cosy under the blankets provided on the sofas and admire the beautiful scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed the stunning location of the property, with the walk to the Ingram Cafe a particularly beautiful walk from the doorstep. The well-stocked garage shop is just a few minutes walk from the property and very handy - perfect when we ran out of some essentials. Also, the pub (The Plough) at the bottom of the drive looked very cosy and atmospheric - we’ll definitely try that out next time, especially as we were told that a Running Fox bakery and restaurant is soon to open in the same location. All six of us are in agreement that the Coach House was a fantastic property and we will return. We had no issues whatsoever and thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay from start to finish. Thank you.

"An amazing location and a beautiful property. We stayed in the Coach House. The views were great from the open plan living room and kitchen upstairs. The house has everything you need and the beds were very comfortable. They can be made up as doubles or twin beds which is useful. Everything has been done to a very high standard and the hosts, Richard and Fiona were very helpful. There's plenty to do nearby with some lovely walks from the house. We walked to the Ingram Valley and cafe. There's a quirky antiques shop in Powburn we visited too. Overall a great place to stay and visit this beautiful part of the world."

"Fantastic stay. We stayed in the Coach House with our three little kids and it was absolutely lovely. The cottages are in a really beautiful setting, with a gorgeous view, and are in a great location. There was plenty for the kids to do at the cottage nearby, with Alnwick being a very short drive away. The cottage itself was really well fitted out, with everything you could need and very comfy beds! "

"From initial booking to arriving nothing was a bother and Richard was able to assist with all queries prior to arrival. He was on hand during our stay but did not intrude. Accommodation was exactly as described and photos did it justice with the added wow factor of a glorious sunset splitting the skies when we arrived to seal the deal. Well organised! 😁 Our first visit to Northumberland and certainly not our last, from beautiful fresh produce, castles, beaches, quiet rural roads with outstanding views it ticked our boxes and filled up our cups! Sign of a great holiday: we didn’t want to leave! Don’t hesitate, book now... well maybe don't as there might not be availability for our return 🤣"

"A perfect cottage in a wonderful location. Fabulous accommodation. The upside down arrangement was perfect for appreciating the stunning views from the lounge area. Clean and comfortable bedrooms, three bathrooms, which was ideal for our party of five. Well equipped kitchen and easy to use appliances. We saw a barn owl, buzzard, hares and roe deer from the windows, lots of different birds and a family of mallards. It's a perfect place for wildlife watching. Richard and Fiona were fantastic hosts, friendly and down to earth. They greeted us on arrival to show us round the property and tell us about the local area, and instantly made us feel welcome. They were also there to say farewell at the end of our stay. We would definitely love to stay here again."

"We have stayed in lots of Air BnB's in the States, Spain and in this country and this is by far the best one we have ever stayed in. The location was stunning with views to die for and peace and quiet oozing from every pore of the building. All the rooms were absolutely pristine and clean and furnished to a very high standard and clearly built by highly skilled professionals. A huge bonus for me was to watch the hares in the field through the picture window with binoculars kindly lent by Richard. Northumberland is a special county and to have a chunk of it outside you window was superb. Richard and Fiona were perfect hosts - extra friendly and approachable but not at all intrusive and were quick to respond to queries so thank you both for a cracking few days."

"Five Star Hosts & Accommodation. The Coach House is definitely worth more than 5 * it was simply superb. The setting and the views plus quality furnishings and accessories made this an outstanding place to stay. Richard and Fiona were excellent hosts, warm and friendly and full of useful information to make our stay memorable. Added touches like accepting our online shopping and putting it away for us so that when we arrived everything was in place were really appreciated. The views from the lounge window of Hares running and playing plus Oyster Catchers and Deer wandering around made a lasting impression. Location of the cottage is ideal for all the tourist sites in the area and Richard and Fiona are knowledgable enough to offer advice of unusual interesting places to visit. There are plenty of good eating places a short drive away but the coach house also has everything needed to cook if preferred. A highly recommended place to stay."

Genuinely some of the kindest people we've had the pleasure of meeting. The setting was incredible, the home and views breathtaking, however what stood out above all else was just how wonderful our hosts were, genuinely great people. We would go back in a heart beat, and would highly, highly reccomend visiting. From 1st booking, through to checking out the hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had a great holiday. Lots of good reccomendations, local knowledge, and friendly chat. They genuinely thought of everything and made our time away, celebrating my Dad's birthday, a very happy one. Thanks to you both, you went above and beyond. We will hopefully have a chance to visit again in the future."

"The cottage that we stayed in was absolutely immaculate and nothing has been left to chance in terms of information, facilities and just an effort to make sure that while we were there we didn't have to worry about anything other than relaxing. As for that the area and the views are absolutely spectacular, the wildlife even in the short time we were there is breathtaking with even a possibility of spotting an otter in the brook below the window. What made it extra special however were our hosts Fiona and Richard who were amazing. Absolutely nothing is too much trouble and we will certainly be back."

From the moment we arrived we were beyond impressed with how immaculate everything was and this combined with the stunning views and top-quality interior set us up for the perfect stay. Situated in a private and quiet location yet easily accessible, the tranquility of the surroundings was balanced by its close proximity to civilisation. Despite not being their first guests, their hospitality and the flawless presentation of the property made us feel just that. Our stay was truly one to remember thanks to them both and we highly recommended. We look forward to returning."

"Lovely Stay at The Coach House. Everything was perfect and we are already planning a return trip. Could never get tired of the amazing views, not just from the living area panoramic window but the front bedroom and cosy outdoor sitting spot too, all designed to take in the beautiful scenery and skies. So much attention to detail not just in the amazing build and decor but also in the welcome pack and thoughtfulness of the hosts. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend either as a base to explore all the area has to offer or to relax and chill like we did with family."

When we got there, our online shopping had arrived and they had put everything away. They are very adaptable and considerate hosts. Richard is ever-ready to help if help is needed. The accommodation is excellent, perfect for a family gathering and the location is great - the coast is a short drive away through beautiful countryside. The star of the show though is the view from the lounge. Absolutely stunning and one which I would never tire of. On a clear night, the night skies are amazing. We stayed in August and saw shooting stars. Fabulous memories. We don't often return to places but we would definitely come back here for all the above reasons, and especially for the peace and quiet."
