October 2020
We we’re really impressed with the location of this property and the standard of the property and facilities.. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us which was a lovely touch. The owner sent us a message to advise when our property was ready as she knew we were having a food delivery. This is a property we will definitively go back to

We had one of the best doggie holidays staying in Coquet.. The chalet/bungalow was brilliant. The fully enclosed garden was a bonus and the field to the side ideal for a quick walk before going out. Coquet was immaculate and had everything you needed. Information leaflets on coffee table and a QR Code for Track and Trace.

A home from home in a quiet setting.. Dog friendly with an enclosed garden and safe field to run in to. Very high standard of cleanliness, felt very safe in thses strange times. Local shops very welcoming but strict with Covid rules. Don't miss the fish and chip van on Tuesdays in the Playing Field!
Mrs Coulson, September 2020

Coquet chalet was in an excellent location.. The views were lovely and being able to walk our dogs on the field next door was great. The village of Longframlington was great and we enjoyed a meal in the local pub on Friday evening and even better dogs are welcome. Really friendly location. A good base to travel around Northumberland.
Mrs Howard, August 2020

Everything as expected.. Nice view and very quiet. Good pubs and friendly people. Food at anglers arms especially good. Only minus lack of instructions on cooker and washing machine but not owners fault as I presume covid problem.

The property is perfect for a holiday with a dog.. The enclosed garden allowed our puppy to roam contentedly. Stunning views. Worth the early rising for a spectacular sunrise. We would recommend the Running Fox bakery and the mobile fish and chip van.

This was our second year at the property.. Great location and facilities are just what is needed for a base.
Mr Williams, July 2020

This was our second visit to Coquet and unfortunately it did not meet the first trip.. Due to the high winds sleep was not possible at night due to the howling wind which was lifting the seat on the veranda. This also caused our two dogs to be on edge throughout the first two nights. On the third day there was a power cut in the village which was when we decided to cut our stay short. Although we did receive a text about the power cut from the owners they never came to see us to check how we had got on due to the bad weather. A shame really but it has put us off returning.

We thought this property was absolutely stunning.. Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed themselves and every effort had been made to make sure that they could enjoy the fully enclosed garden. The accommodation is suitable for anyone who hasn’t got dogs and it was definitely a property that wasn’t a typical property of that type. As a dog owner we sometimes feel a bit like second class citizens. The property was absolutely spotless and much more spacious than we expected. It was warm and comfortable. The setting is fantastic with stunning views. I would definitely return and also have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family.

We have not visited Northumberland before & when looking for somewhere to stay with 2 dogs w came across Aln Cottages Sykes website.. The cottage, open views & village location appealed to us & has proven to be a very enjoyable stay. We have visited many local landmarks during each day, returning to our cosy cottage for relaxing evenings. Would highly recommend Aln Cottages for anyone holidaying with dogs or looking to enjoy all Nirthumber has to offer, we will definitely be back, Gill & Ian xx

Lovely cabin in a beautiful area.. Our cocker spaniels loved the enclosed garden. Weather not great but not too bad for this time of the year. We shall hopefully return next year maybe a wee bit earlier so we can sit out on the decked area and out in the garden. We go to a number of holiday cottages every year and Coquet is now high on our list.

The cottage was amazing and contributed largely to our most wonderful holiday it was spotless, beautifully decorated, warm and such lovely attention to detail.. The views were wonderful and it was so well placed in Northumberland to access easily all that we wanted to see. The garden was a delight particularly loved by our German Shepherd . When we come back next we would most definitely book to stay in this cottage. We absolutely loved it

Upon arrival it was very clean, I found it spacious and the views were amazing.. Very quiet location which is just what we were looking for, nice maintained garden ideal getaway for my family and the dogs. Plenty of places to walk the dogs. The village nearby is very friendly, good little village shop, with an amazing cafe, and nice pubs you could use for meals. Would definitely recommend this chalet and area for a holiday, definitely considering re booking.

The location of the lodge was brilliant.. Wonderful views. A little disappointed with the selection of pots and pans - we could have done with a few more.

We happened upon this holiday rental by accident when booking a last minute summer holiday. We wanted to be close to Alnwick and Warkworth and this Longframlington property popped up in our search. It needed to be dog-friendly and the promise of a secure garden added to its appeal. When we first entered the property we were pleasantly surprised to find a bottle of wine on the table in the beautifully decorated open-plan living space. The bedrooms are large with lots of wardrobe space. The bathroom is a good size with large shower and bath. Plenty of towels were provided. The kitchen area was well equipped with more than enough crockery and cutlery. The fridge and freezer are family-sized so perfect for a week-long stay for 4. The washer-dryer was very handy too. The garden is a lovely size and the views over the countryside are beautiful. Even in the odd rain storm, it was lovely to sit on the bench on the veranda and enjoy the view. It’s a 20min walk into the main part of the village where the Running Fox cakery/bakery/cafe is well worth a visit. The village shop sells pretty much everything you’d need and the pub is lovely too. You’re 20mins from Alnmouth, 15/20mins from Alnwick and Rothbury is only 10/15mins away. We have already booked our return visit.

Accommodation was very clean and warm.. The large enclosed garden was particularly good for our 12 year old Westie who sadly is going blind. We have stayed at a number of sykes cottages over the years so have some experience of the standard we would expect. This accommodation was one of four on the site. Unfortunately it seemed like they had been kitted out with a job lot of sofas that were incredible uncomfortable to sit on.There was also limited utensils and pans ,so you couldn't cook your Sunday Roast if you wanted to. There was no cleaning equipment provided so you either left the hob dirty after a weeks of cooked breakfasts or as we did buy your own cleaner.Certainly the first time we have ever done that on holiday. So overall the location and peaceful surrounding was beautiful. On the whole the accommodation was good but spoilt by the lack of attention to some of the practical things needed.Perhaps we have been spoilt in past accommodation!!!!!

Just back from our third stay in Coquet and we're missing the views of the Cheviots already.. The lodge is in a beautiful, peaceful spot and we always enjoy our stay. Longframlington is a very friendly village and The Village Inn is dog friendly and does a lovely Sunday Carvery. The Running Fox is great for coffee and cake {dog friendly too} and the village shop is handy. The enclosed dog walking area in the village is useful even though there are lots of places to enjoy a walk. The garden is totally enclosed so no worries about letting our dog have free access to the garden. Great to sit on the garden bench and watch or listen to the curlews or skylarks. Cheviot is always exceptionally clean and provides us with all we need. The heating is very easy to operate so we're always warm and cosy even when the weather decides to be difficult! The only slight problem for us is the bed is a double not king as stated. This hasn't deterred us as we keep going back but it would make sleeping easier and the room is definitely big enough to accommodate a kingsize. Lovely to have a bottle of wine on arrival courtesy of the owners. Can't wait to go back.

Cabin was light, bright and very comfortable.. Excellent views across the surrounding area. Will definitely come back in the future.
Mrs Farnley
October 2018
Brilliant holiday , exceptionally clean and comfortable.. The one thing which we were disappointed with was the bed, stated it was kingsize, it was a double. This caused us sleep problems as my husband has health issues and we always have to have a kingsize. Perhaps this should be changed. But otherwise the place was just great. The bottle wine was well received after a long journey many thanks. Would highly recommend this cottage.
Mr Beck
September 2018
I asked if the property had a DVD and was told it did not.. This is incorrect as the TV had an integrated DVD. Surely the owners should know this as there were DVDs in the property! One bedroom was listed with a king size bed when it was just a standard double. Also the step in front of the patio was covered in bird droppings from a birds nest above the back door. I would have expected this to be cleaned before our arrival.

Beutiful cottage with patio doors leading into an enclosed garden, with some of the best panoramic views you will ever see. The cottage is immaculate and has everthing to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Complimentary bottle of wine went down a treat. Longframlington is a very friendly village with a fantastic cafe, newsagent, local store, butchers and 2 Inns serving food. Great area for walking dogs and central to Alnwick and Kielder. Big thank you to our hosts and their attention to detail making a truly memorable stay and see you next year.

The lodge was spacious & clean, with lovely views over the enclosed garden and adjoining fields and the bottle of wine made us feel welcome.. It was very peaceful with no noise or disturbance from the workers building two more lodges adjacent to ours. We enjoyed the walk-in shower but the towels were hard & scrubby. We were disappointed to find only half a roll of toilet paper & no spares. The weather turned very cold during our week’s stay but there were no instructions for the heating and no spare blankets for the beds. Would recommend the village shop, who seem to stock almost everything you might need!

Right from the start out experience was great, we needed to call the owner a couple of times as we were trying to navigate in the dark, but she was polite and patient and once we were in we were amazed with the cottage.. It's a beautiful, clean, well designed cottage with all the amenities you could want. Both bedrooms were comfortable, the lounge was cosy, the kitchen perfect for our needs and the bathroom was very spacious. Although it wasn't until the morning that we saw the most amazing views from every window! It's a shame we were only there for the weekend (a friends wedding nearby) because you could easily stay there for a week or two and be very settled and comfy. The games included also gave us a few hours of entertainment as the men rediscovered their love of Chess. I would definitely recommend this cottage and if I needed to stay in the area again I would definitely rebook myself. 10/10

When we booked the holiday as with any other we were a little apprehensive.. However when we finally got there we started to plan our next trip there! The lodge has everything we needed and such a peaceful night sleep. The beds a very comfortable and the layout of the lodge is very homely. The owners didn't intrude at all and left us to our own devices, they even left a bottle of wine on arrival of us! we knew if we needed them it would only take a short walk to their house. The location was everything we was looking for. Away from the chaos before Christmas. safe to say by the end of our short stay we had holiday blues! Would recommend for anyone who just wants to get away and have that little bit of quiet time. We will be back next year!

Lovely lodge in a great location.. Just a couple of niggles, the toilet seat is too small for the toilet and the shower didn’t work. The owner sorted us out very promptly with a couple of other issues, (tv remote not working and no dishwasher tablets) and also got the shower going but it didn’t work again the next day. We didn’t want to have to call the owners again and as there was a bath, it wasn’t a big deal.

Excellent accommodation in peaceful rural setting. The village of Longframlington is about 1-2 miles away with village shop, bakery/coffee shop, butchers and 2 pubs/restaurants. The lodge is modern, well equipped and spacious with ample parking for 2 cars. There are 2 lodges side by side built in an area to the rear and side of the owners house. We booked this lodge over many others because the description on the Sykes web site said it had an enclosed garden which was ideal as we have 2 dogs and I was recovering from foot surgery so had limited mobility. The garden is only partially enclosed with openings at both sides where young children and dogs could easily escape on to nearby farmland or country lane used by farm vehicles. This was disappointing and put limitations on our time there. The description has now been amended by Sykes after we sent our feedback to them. They do not inspect every property on their books and rely on the description of the property supplied by the owners. I would be very wary of booking with them again without verifying details in the descriptions provided on their web site.

WOW!!! What an amazing place this is. We stayed for 5 nights with our 4yr old daughter and our 2 labradors and have serious holiday blues being back home! The house is beautiful very modern but cosy and homely- real home from home with a fresh loaf and a pint of milk on arrival - perfect. The sunsets and views are amazing to watch sat snuggled under a blanket on the huge wooden bench on the beautiful veranda - such a peaceful location but close enough for trips out. The local town is extremely friendly especially to dogs - the most dog friendly place we have found with its own football pitch size enclosed dog exercise area with water and toys provided!!! There is a beautiful dog friendly deserted beach close by with miles of stunning coastline. There's also a stunning lake/woodland walks in the same location - just perfect for those autumn walks. We will definitely be booking another trip here - loved every minute of our stay.
