Coal Drops Reviews

Patricia
We had a lovely time at Coal Drops. It was very clean and spacious with everything we needed on hand. Debbie was very helpful and made a big fuss of our dogs who loved it. Looking out of the big windows and barking at the pheasant, other birds, rabbit and sheep but not disturbing any other people. We found some lovely beaches for dog walks. Alnwick is a lovely town and the countryside is spectacular.
Had a wonderfull 2 weeks perfect relaxing the owner very friendly the views are ... Had a wonderfull 2 weeks perfect relaxing the owner very friendly the views are breathtaking would i book again in a heartbeat 10stars all day long
Michelle
We had a very comfortable stay at Coal Drops. The property was in a peaceful location, had everything we required and was super warm and cosy. Debbie and John were very friendly hosts and so welcoming to us and our 2 springies, nothing to much trouble. A great base for all the beauty Northumberland has to offer. Already booked to return in 2027. Michelle and Bill
While this cottage is not advertised as suitable for people with disabilities the photos suggest it is. Cottage is Very clean, comfortable and warm.. Looks from photos as suitable for ambulant wheelchair users. Would be useful to include the two steep steps from the dive to the patio may present some difficulty for ambulant people with disabilities.. A handrail would help. Wheelchair access is possible but difficult as it includes crossing grass which is bumpy to access patio. A smooth concrete path would make a real difference. Once inside the space is fully accessible. People with disabilities need to be able to stand and take a few steps to use bathroom, shower room and toilets which do not have any handrails. One room has bath with shower over, the a floor level shower with small lip bathrooms do not have any handrails and is not wheelchair accessible. Both myself and daughter have disabilities and managed well. Hosts very welcoming and helpful. Bring your own oven gloves. Wonderful views and lots of places of interest nearby.
Michael
It was our third visit to Coaldrops and we really enjoyed it again and will be coming back soon. The only two improvement we could think of to improve our stay would be a larger smart tv in the lounge and a tv on the wall in the bedroom. Not a lot on free view tv to watch. An additional large frying pan would also be welcomed.
Beautiful location. Owner very friendly and keen to make sure you have everything you need. It snowed while we were there and temperature dropped to freezing but was lovely and toasty in the lodge. Would definitely return.
Damian
We stayed for 1 week with our 2 dogs. This is the second time we have stayed . The area is wonderful. The most beautiful huge beaches lovely walks ,castles and of course Barters books with the railway running round the shop which my husband loves. The house is open plan with a bedroom and bathroom at each end . Immaculately clean and im fussy with cleanliness. Everything you need in the kitchen . Well decorated , comfortable not over cluttered with things you dont need . A beautiful large garden to take the dogs into and the owners are friendly welcoming and helpful. The only 1 suggestion is maybe have a king size bed in 1 of the bedrooms . The double was very comfortable but my husband is a big guy and we couldnt fit in the small bed so he slept in the other bedroom . Thank you for a lovely holiday
Coal Drops is a wonderful cottage with everything needed for a comfortable, quiet and relaxing holiday. The owner Debbie, was absolutely delightful. We would definitely recommend Coal Drops to anyone and we look forward to returning as soon as possible.
The comfortable property is in a beautiful rural location a short distance from the owners house but feels secluded with a large secure garden , ideal if you have a dog. It is also ideally situated near Alnwick and the coast and also the equally beautiful countryside to the west. Debbie and John are most welcoming but unobtrusive and on hand should you need advice or help.
We have been going to Coal Drops since it opened in 2019 and always look forward to our time there. This is our second visit this year and we have booked again for next year
Tracey
What a wonderful holiday cottage, clean and well equipped. Hosts Debbie and John were very welcoming, offering advice on places to visit and eat. Great location 5 min drive to Alnwick, 30 mins to a wonderful beach in Alnmouth and loads more,50 to Hadrians wall and the gap and about the same to Bamburgh. Highly recommend and would love to come back
Andrea
This has been our second visit to Coaldrops. The owners Debbie & John are so welcoming supportive and available to answer any questions and make your stay both comfortable and enjoyable. Our dog loves it too. The grounds are beautiful and so private. 10 out of 10.
Patrica
This is the best property we have stayed in. The views from the cottage are picturesque. Debbie and John take great pleasure making sure you have everything you need
Teresa
Very comfortable and well positioned property with fantastic views and central to visiting all over Northumberland. Thoughtful welcome package and lovely hosts made our stay complete. Would 100 recommend and we look forward to a return visit. Thanks again. Teresa, Mike, Beryl & Julie
Rebecca
Lovely property with fantastic views. Debbie is a charming host.. so much to do in the vicinity
Darrill
We had a lovely week at coal drops. The owner was on site and welcomed us with information. The lovely welcome pack was very welcome too. Also the dog was not forgotten with some biscuits. She also offered to have our dog if we needed to go somewhere on our own which was lovely of her. The place was very welcoming and clean and had everything you wanted. Luckily we were blessed with some lovely weather so was made even better. We will be back in the future for another lovely stay. Thankyou to the owners again for a great week.
Great property in a really nice area,lovely views from every room a quiet and relaxing cottage to chill out in or explore the wonderful county of Northumberland. Debbie is a kind and helpful host who made us and Zac our dog most welcome,we are looking forward to visiting again!
Elaine
Debbie the owner popped into see if everything was OK. She was very helpful. We absolutely loved our stay at Coal Drops. The cottage had everything in we needed. The beds and sofa were very comftable . In a beautiful location with lovely views. Our 2 little dogs loved their stay. Thank you Debbie. We will be back.
Lorraine
One of the best cottages we have stayed in through Sykes, everything available, absolutely lovely scenery from inside cottage so on these winter weeks was nice to be comfortable but still see the outside world.
Our third consecutive year at Coal Drop. That says everything really. Many thanks Debbie and John for making sure that all was perfect. John, Joff and Tess who was most appreciative of the octopus !!!
Shelagh
A great vacation property with excellent facilities and in a stunning locations. Owner friendly and helpful but not intrusive. We can thoroughly recommend Coal Drops and the surrounding Northumberland countryside.
We have been visiting Coal Drops at least once a year since 2019. Lovely quiet location and great for visits to both the coast and inland sights of Northumberland. Even though the weather wasn't always dry Coal Drops was lovely and warm to return to. We will be back again next month.
Geoffrey
Very comfortable accommodation in beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend and hope to return in the future.
Malcolm
Lovely time at Coaldrops, and beautiful scenery, lots to see in local areas. We will book again and vist places we missed out. Many thanks for a lovely holiday.
We had a fabulous holiday at Coal Drops. Debbie and John were very friendly and very helpful. The cottage was extremely comfortable, although a full length mirror by a socket for the bedrooms would have been very useful for drying or styling hair. Great location and the weather was very kind to us. Our little dog loved the large garden to run around in. Would definitely go back. Thank you for the goody bag
Joseph
We had an amazing stay and owner was very welcoming and helpful. Amazing views when having your morning cup of tea or a little drink at night. Plenty of fresh towels on arrival. A very thoughtful welcome pack for arrival including milk and tea bags, ideal for the journey getting there.
Nicola
Weve had a wonderful second stay here at Coal Drops and enjoyed it just as much as the last time. Ive put 1010 that I would recommend, as I always do recommend that people stay here and visit the area. Ive put 55 for rating the stay, as there is nothing not to like and Debbie and John are wonderful hosts. There are no issues at all and I would more than likely stay a third time. If I was to comment on anything, it would be the possibility of replacing the tired blinds and upgrading the tv to a smart tv. However these arent things that spoil the experience or put me off staying again, theyre only things to think about, especially now the price to stay for a week has increased. Also, the floor gets very slippy if you do not have shoes on, so if just in socks the floor is very slippy, something to just be mindful of with children like we have or if elderly. Thanks so much for letting us stay at your beautiful home a second time. Best wishes, The Gallagher Family.
Very comfortable holiday cottage with large garden and in a lovely setting.
Glynis
Stunning cottage with beautiful views of the Northumbrian countryside. So comfortable with everything you could wish for and much more! Very relaxing holiday with lovely welcome gifts from extremely pleasant and welcoming owners. We have stayed in lots of holiday cottages but I would rate this as one of the best. Our second visit and hopefully not our last.
The only things we lacked at the cottage were salt, pepper and a dishcloth. All things we could have brought with us or have easily acquired from the owner had we asked. The cottage was really nice, though the slatted bedroom blinds do not provide much darkness when the nights are short and light. The owners were very welcoming and offered to help with anything we needed. Such a lovely spot. Shame the weather didn't do it justice all week!!
Thankyou for a really enjoyable week at Coal Drops. The cottage has all the facilities you need and was spotlessly clean. The views from the picture windows were superb and there was always something to see even on a rainy day. We would especially like to thank the proprietors for their very warm welcome. They very much went the extra mile even providing some information regarding the history of the railway which passed through which was of great interest to us. We would thoroughly recommend Coal Drops to anyone wishing to visit the Northumberland area.
Coal drops is wonderful, very clean, cosy and everything you needed. The surroundings were beautiful, plenty of wildlife to watch. We would definitely recommend a holiday here, loved ours.
Coaldrops is a very clean,well equipped property. The owners very kindly allowed our dogs to enjoy the large garden.We had a good week despite the very stormy weather.The photos don't disappoint when it comes to the view either. We were disappointed not to find a smart TV despite the property having good WiFi.In the darker winter months this would be a good addition. The property does not have mains water & this can be a problem if there is powercut as the water pump ceases working. Debbie & John are very welcoming & do their best to ensure everyone has a good time in the cottage.
Very comfortable and well equipped property in a splendid location. The owner was kind to leave us many Christmas presents which were greatly appreciated.
An exceptional property in all respects. Together with very experienced, professional and caring owners, Coal Drop is an amazing property set in the heart of beautiful and rugged Northumbrian countryside. A fine base for adventure walks and attractions within a short range. Coal Drop is so sound that we have booked it for the third time even though we were still there.
Brenda
Lovely holiday cottage every thing you need, home from home. A sign at the top of the drive would help find the right turning. Nice to meet Debbie and John
We have been visiting Coal Drops at least twice a year since 2019. Debbie and John are very welcoming hosts and the large garden is great for our dog. Location is excellent for Rothbury and Alnwick as well as the beautiful Northumberland coast
Andrea
Coaldrops accommodation is the perfect stay in a perfect setting. The hosts are super accommodating, friendly and informative. They spoilt our dog who loved the vast grounds that were kept at a high standard and she was treated like one of the family. We would love to return at a later date and highly recommend it.
