Alnmouth Boathouse - luxury self catering cottages - Coastal Retreats Bamburgh Six - luxury self catering cottages - Coastal Retreats Beadnell Beach House - luxury self catering cottages - Coastal Retreats Bluegrass Apartment - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats The Bolthole - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats

' We could not fault anything  at the Boathouse and would  not hesitate to recommend  it to our friends. A real home  from home and the attention  to detail at the property is  truly stunning.'

'Top notch apartment with top notch views.'

‘The views from the Beadnell Beach House are truly spectacular. We could hardly believe how gorgeous the house was and how beautifully presented.’

‘The lack of chintz was refreshing.’

‘A little gem…The beds are comfy, the lounge cosy and the beach is much closer than we thought. We were on Smugglers beach every day - a 3 min walk!'

Budle Bay Loft - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats Coastguard's Cottage - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats Coral Cottage - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats Cowslip - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats Craster Retreat - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats

‘The Budle Bay Loft was a really different place to stay. We loved the sea views and got good use out of the telescope and the binoculars.’

‘Loved the quiet location, the characterful touches around the house and most of all, the hidden garden.'

'We really loved this little unpretentious retreat. Cosy, comfortable, quality but not flashy.'

'I love the eclectic feel to this cottage. It has a lovely warm feel and bags of personality.'

'The most beautiful self catering property we have ever stayed in.'
Craster Rocks - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats The Croft - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats Driftwood - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats Feathergrass - luxury self catering cottages - Coastal Retreats The Fold - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats

‘We loved the location, the uncluttered styling, the decent size TV and the lovely welcome touches offered by Coastal Retreats.’

'Amazing place to stay, even the gorgeous photos on your website don't do this place justice. It was full of wow features.’

‘We made a booking because your self catering cottages seemed so different to others, in that you were positively welcoming kids and babies. We were all delighted with the lovely touches like the cuddly toys in the children’s beds, the kiddies corner in the hallway and the chocolate lollies.'

‘Very chic, and no chintz either…’

‘Every possible comfort was provided - lovely kitchen, cosy sitting room with woodburner and oodles of toys, books and games for the children.’
Garden Cottage - luxury self catering cottage - Coastal Retreats The Grain Store - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats The Granary - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats Harbour Master's House - luxury self catering cottages - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats The Hemmel - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats

‘Every day, it was a joy to wake up here and to return here after a day! The children loved it all. Addressing the needs of children in so many ways (even nappies in the emergency box) was just wonderful.’

‘…exceptionally comfy beds…’

‘It was like staying in a five star country hotel, but much more cosy, intimate and practical…and not so expensive!’

‘The highlight of this cottage is of course the stunning sea and harbour view.’

‘We arrived in the dark to find Christmas tree lights twinkling in the lounge as we pulled onto the drive, it looked lovely and was even better as we went in. We stay regularly in a cottage in the Lake District which is lovely and so we tend to use it as a yardstick to measure other cottages against. The Hemmel surpassed even this!’
High Mill The Lodge @ Shirewater - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats The Lookout - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats Mariner's - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats The Mews House - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats

'So much space. The photos don't do the house justice.'

'We loved the peaceful location…’

‘We really appreciated the welcoming touches – cakes, milk, coffee, bottle of bubbly etc. For me it is those small touches and details around the house – the magazines, CDs etc that set Coastal Retreats apart.’

‘As one of the first guests our honeymoon felt very special. Loved the big bed, the log fire and the ability to walk to the Beadnell Towers for a drink in the evening.’

'Wow. It was like something from a magazine!'
Moo House - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats Nook End - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats Pampas Apartment - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats The Plaice - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats Sailor's Snug - luxury self catering cottage - Northumberland - Coastal Retreats

‘Self catering properties don’t always have the best reputation in terms of quality interiors and tip top specifications but our experience at Moo House was really too good to be true!’

‘Decorated Christmas trees, log fires, bowls of nuts and Christmas chocolates plus the huge table in Nook End to sit all nine of us, were ideal for our group. We felt really privileged to be spending Christmas in such a beautiful place.’

'We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Pampas and hope to return to this wonderful part of the country quite soon. I particularly appreciated free access to the excellent health club. It was like having our own private pool and gym!’

‘The views are just lovely and being able to watch the
activities of the harbour was fascinating. The Plaice was excellent 
and so well equipped with everything we needed, we have been truly
spoilt now!'

'My 3 year old daughter just loved her bedroom. Thanks for leaving out the thoughtful books and toys for her. She was delighted.'

‘We had such a great holiday last year at the Seafarer’s that we decided to come back to Northumberland this year and to try another Coastal Retreat.’

'We expected to be further away from the sea than we were. We could even see the sea. It was fabulous.’

'Impressive house, stunning sea views, exceptionally comfortable.’

'The Smugglers' is in a great location, the decor is fresh and unusual and our kids especially loved the spotty twin bedroom and the large flat screen TV.'

‘…a superb place to holiday. Very impressive.’
