Coquet Cottages

Established in 1998, Coquet Cottages is a family-run holiday letting agency with over 140 unique privately owned luxury holiday properties in Northumberland, all located in the very best locations to maximise your experience of beautiful Northumberland.

Coast and countryside, all of our cottages are centrally placed for exploring the whole of Northumberland, including the Heritage Coast, the Cheviot Hills and Coquet Valley, the Borders and the National Park, as well as Newcastle and Gateshead, Durham and in fact, the whole of the North East of England, or ‘Northumbria’ as it is more correctly known.

Of the self-catering cottages you will find on our website, we own some of them ourselves, with others belonging to friends and associates who share the same ethos and values as ourselves and have extremely high standards in both the interior design and the overall quality and presentation of their luxury cottages.

Established for 25 years, our reputation has been built on providing exceptionally high quality, immaculately clean and luxurious self-catering cottages to create holidays that are truly memorable. We know how important it is for your accommodation to be perfect – otherwise how can you possibly have a good holiday? We pay great attention to detail and provide many special touches that you won’t find in the majority of self-catering cottages.

We’re very proud to have the highest proportion of Gold Awards of all agencies in the UK, granted by VisitEngland and Quality in Tourism for the exceptional quality of our cottages and the impeccable service we provide.Coquet Cottages are also proud to have been awarded Best UK Self-catering Cottage Holiday Company by the prestigious British Travel Awards 3 the last 3 years running, in 2018, 2019 and 2020 (paused in 2021 due to Covid) and the accolade of ‘Accommodation of the Year’ by Living North.

Dogs
We also pride ourselves and have an excellent reputation for welcoming dogs to our luxury holiday homes! We believe you shouldn’t compromise on quality just because you have a dog.  We want our luxury holiday cottages to stay that way, so we do have house rules for dogs including not allowing them on the furniture, but if your own home is respected then we welcome you and your dog to respect ours in the same way.

Our properties are extremely well-maintained, each having either its own dedicated housekeeper or housekeeping team, or lovingly cared for by its owner. The majority of our staff and our owners have been with us for many years and every one of them takes great pride in the cleanliness and presentation of their cottage, with their aim being for you to have a relaxing and memorable holiday.

Dog Sitting
We don’t permit dogs to be left unattended in our cottages but we do offer a personal dog-sitting service where your dog can be looked after in the cottage for anything from a few hours to all day – however long you need to visit those places where they can’t go, such as stately homes and castles, or perhaps to dine out at a local restaurant.

Our dog sitters are usually our staff and have a life-time experience of caring for dogs. We can walk dogs if you would like although we have a strict policy of not letting them off the lead and we will not walk them close to other dogs.
