A few things needed here, better lighting in the kitchen, need a torch to set the oven temp. Only enough hot water for one person to shower but the toilet flushes with hot water?? The heating system ( which you cannot control in the lounge) is ridiculously loud. Not enough kitchen equipment, pointless dish washer. Needs a visitors book. Not enough sockets in kitchen area, and what are there are hidden behind the microwave. Good luck with the toaster. No instructions for any of the appliances.

Unfortunately we had a few issues with the Coach House, the shower was not working so had to get that fixed by the owner, the bathroom door wouldn't close and no lock on the door, the welcome pack had out of date pop corn packets, the beds were awful, my daughter couldn't sleep in her bed as the mattress was so hard and the top bunk was not much better, so slept on the sofa which was not ideal. The main bed was so soft that you sank in it so no support, didnt sleep well, so overall it wasn't brilliant. There was no shaver point in bathroom and no shelf to put items on either. The location was excellent but no amenities other than one pub. Overall we did enjoy our holiday but would probably stay somewhere else if we came back to northumberland. Hope this info helps future guests.
