Our family (including Willow - our 3 year old doodle!) thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at theOyster Catcher which is ideally positioned to make a great holiday in Northumberland. Firstly, great credit and recognition to the owner for making this such a wonderful place to stay and for presenting with us with a stylish, spacious and well equipped Read moreproperty. Everything was clean, tidy and attention given to all the necessary details which meant we wanted for nothing. Our welcome gifts were also greatly appreciated to help set up our stay. Thanks also to the team at Coquet Cottages for all the advice and assistance given prior to our stay and for a high level of customer service throughout. We very much look forward to another opportunity at some point in the future to book again and wouldnt hesitate to recommend the Oyster Catcher to anyone considering this part of Northumberland.

Oystercatcher is a stunning cottage tucked away in a beautiful, tranquil area. The weather has been kind to us and we enjoyed trips to Bamburgh, Seahouses & Edinburgh just to name a few. The cottage is absolutely superb and is a real hidden gem, ideally situated! So comfortable with every luxury thought of and fabulous decor throughout & which makeRead mores this cottage very special, even down to the welcome basket, expensive toiletries & lovely flowers on arrival. We should have been sharing this holiday with our beloved Weimaraner George, who had sadly passed away before the holiday, but would have give five paws & a waggy tail, with having beautiful enclosed gardens, front & back. Special mention to Coquet cottages, weve booked many times with other companies but this company is second to none, from clear transparent emails & texts to a welcome telephone call on the day wishing us a happy stay & explained how to contact them if needed, fantastic customer service. We will most definitely be making a return to Oystercatcher & definitely booking through Coquet Cottages again. Hide

We have stayed in cottages in Northumberland for 10 years, and The Oystercatcher was the best one we have found. It was immaculately clean, with all the facilities that you could need and a front and a large secure back garden which was excellent for our dog and also for us to sit out in.
