Riverside Cottage is a period self catering holiday property overlooking the River Coquet. Built by the Duke of Northumberland around 1895, it is set in the attractive Village of West Thirston in the heart of rural Northumberland and just 8 miles from unspoilt beaches. The Cottage has been lovingly renovated to a high standard whilst keeping all its original character. This lovely period Cottage is situated in an idyllic rural village and offers views over the River Coquet, perfect for a relaxing, enjoyable stay. Just yards from the front door is the riverbank, with miles of beautiful riverside walks leading into the stunning countryside.

The Cottage is accessed through a state of the art keyless entry system leading into the Entrance Hall. This simple system means you have the freedom to not worry about carrying keys with you during your stay. In the entrance hall you will find a corner storage unit and towels provided for you to dry down your pets, should you wish to bring them with you. The Cottage has full gas central heating and is fully equipped and includes high speed fibre broadband (Wi-Fi). The Entrance Hall leads into the comfortable and stylish Lounge. It has a beautiful traditional cast iron open fireplace with slate hearth with an original oil painting above it. A lovely three piece suite, oak flooring and traditional window shutters. There is a 50 inch Samsung QLED SMART TV and a collection of books, games and DVD's.

The Dining Room has an original open grate fireplace with bread oven, wood surround and marble hearth. It comfortably seats four people and is complete with a drinks cabinet full of cut crystal glasses and a wine rack. The room benefits from a beamed ceiling and oak flooring, which adds to the character feeling. The Dining Room also has access to the outdoor seating area with BBQ facilities. The attractive modern Kitchen is fitted with a range of white wall and base units with wooden work surfaces. It has integrated appliances including an electric oven with gas hob and extractor hood, microwave, fridge and freezer, washing machine and family sized dishwasher. The kitchen leads to the downstairs cloakroom/WC.

Upstairs the Master Bedroom has a lovely wooden double bed with matching bed side tables, a built in storage cupboard with hanging space and chandelier lighting. The room has two windows with traditional panelled shutters and window seats offering beautiful views over the River Coquet and the attractive bridges in West Thirston and Felton. There is also a chest of drawers/dressing table and wall mounted 40 inch Samsung QLED Smart TV. The Second Bedroom has twin beds and a cast iron open grate fireplace and surround, a built in cupboard offering hanging space and a chest of drawers. Our bed linen is exceptional - the finest 100% Egyptian Cotton, all from the White Company. The modern Bathroom has a panelled bath with hand held mixer shower head plus electric shower over, shower screen, wash hand basin, low level WC, tiled walls and flooring, vanity mirror and heated towel radiator.

    A lovely clean and well equipped cottage on a relatively quiet road and central for exploring the Northumbrian coastal towns & footpaths.Excellent set up with the host, their little website (didn't need to use their app), and the coded front door unlock/lock.I've knocked a star off purely because: yes, it's a character cottage; but, apart from the fancy door lock & the bed linen, the word luxury doesn't fit. I would better describe it as a rustic character cottage.I still highly recommend it.I highly recommend both the Running Fox for breakfast in the village and the Fish Shack in Amble, too.

    Great communication with owner. Clean, cosy cottage with everything we needed.The setting is so pretty. Dog walks on river on your doorstep. Pub food was delicious, as was the breakfast at the cafe. Will definitely be back.

    Situated on the banks of the River Coquet this is a charming, cosy and snug little cottage with every facility you need. Warmly lit with fairy lights to welcome you, there’s a superbly generous welcome hamper from the nearby Running Fox cafe, thoughtfully catering for dietary needs. The village is quiet and peaceful, with nearby parking easily sought. Close to the A1 it is easy to reach most places along the coastline. Book a boat trip to the Farnes and Holy Island for a sure highlight. Directly on the St Oswald’s Way straight from the door, there are plenty of Northumbrian walking destinations for all abilities and an abundance of stunning beaches and castles for those scenic days out. The upmarket Northumberland Arms along from the cottage serves quality food in stylish surroundings and only a little further afield in nearby Shilbottle, the Lal Khazana will easily satisfy every Indian food lover. Or try the Fish Shack in Amble for a quayside fresh fish menu. There are so many things to see and do you wouldn’t hesitate to book another stay. An excellent choice all round, thank you to the host Andrew for a very comfortable week.

    It was a lovely place and we enjoyed our stay. Sadly, there was no return communication from the host at any time, hence the 4 and not the desired 5 star rating. The place could do with a coffee machine but that did not spoil it as the coffee shop was across the bridge.

    We really enjoyed our stay at riverside cottage. It is very well equipped, we appreciated the baby gate and highchair. The kitchen has everything you need to make dinner in the evening. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch. The village itself is quiet, there is a nice pub a few doors down from the cottage where we enjoyed a nice lunch.
