  We have stayed at the Coach House numerous times over the years and it's a firm favourite to keep coming back to.
  
  It provides a warm, comfortable and spacious base to explore Kielder water, the observatory, local villages such as Falstone and Bellingham along with places further afield such as Cragside, Hexham and Alnwick.
  
  We have gotten to know the owners over the years and they are welcoming, friendly and passionate about ensuring their guests have a wonderful stay.

• Sue & David, June 2025

  The Coach House offers immense character, comfort and a beautiful location, a few miles from Kielder Water and Forest in what for the UK, is a remote corner of Northumberland. The lovely owners are close by, supportive but not intrusive and the house provides space for up to 6 people. Huge walled garden ideal for the most active of dogs. The nearest shops and eateries are a couple of miles, although we went further afield to eat. Bouchon Bistro in Hexham is a must and Bewicks in Rothbury if you venture to Cragside (NT). Walking/cycling locally, sailing on Kielder Water and within easy reach of Hadrian's Wall and a little longer to the coast - Bamburgh is a must, fabulous beach and castle... or you can just chill with a wide range of books and games and the internet works well. The road can be a little noisy but isn't intrusive.

• Jo, Norwich, June 2025

  We found the house was easy to make our home for a week. We all slept well, lovely bed linen and comfortable beds.
  We especially appreciated the laundry room with drying rack and warmed clothing area.
  The kitchen was well equipped.
  The area was full of wonderful meadows and sights, a fantastic county.

  We had a short 2 night stay at the Coach House in September. I have had an extremely busy year and needed somewhere comfortable where I could rest, get away from it all, and get some fresh air. We found somewhere which ticks all of those boxes, but we hadn't expected it to be quite so homely. From the moment we arrived we could feel a sense of peace and relaxation, and it didn't take us long to settle in. Rather than do our normal thing of setting off somewhere and exploring, we settled in for the day, had dinner, and curled up on the sofa in front of the log fire. Everything you need is here, from a well equipped kitchen, plenty of logs, Netflix on the TV, and a walled garden for the dog. We can see ourselves coming back.

• Euan, Newcastle upon Tyne, July 2024

  I cannot speak highly enough of this property. We booked The Coach House, along with The Old Church, for a weekend of birthday celebrations for the family. The Coach House itself was fantastic, a great house with plenty of space for the people staying there and a really well equipped set up for eating, relaxing, cooking and activities.
  
  The kids enjoyed the garden in particular - a huge area to the rear of the property where we were able to enjoy a morning playing games and then relaxing in a very idyllic setting. The location of the property is also great - remote enough to feel private and removed from the general hustle and bustle, but close enough to home that we didn't have to drive for hours and close to smaller villages/towns for supplies. We were also able to find some nice walks for people to do while we were there.
  
  The bedrooms were very comfortable - good storage and space - and with a good balance of bedrooms and bathrooms that there wasn't ever a queue. There is a great array of books and DVDs in the communal areas which would be great if the weather wasn't great or if we had booked at a different time of year.
  
  The fit out looks high quality and it's clear that there has been a lot of thought put into the look and feel and design of the space to make it feel like a home from home. Highly recommended and we will be back

• Sheila, June 2024

  The Coach House proved to be the perfect base for a Northumberland break. The scenery all around is beautiful and the house offers wonderful views across the fields and towards the nearby hills. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, bright and cheerful even on cloudy days. Every comfort has been carefully considered and the house is perfect for relaxing after a busy day walking or exploring the beautiful area. There are good nearby restaurants and the garden would be perfect for eating outdoors on sunny days. Perfect for families, couples and friends - we took grandchildren. We will definitely be returning.

• Martha Findlay, December 2025

  We had a wonderful stay at Greystead Old Church. The hosts left us a very thoughtful welcome package and had decorated the house for Christmas. The property had been beautifully converted and made for a really special getaway which was perfect for all the family. We would highly recommend.

• Luke Parkinson, October 2025

  Lovely holiday home in a beautiful location, the house is has everything you need including plenty of books, board games.

• Douglas Cooper, October 2025

  Greystead Church is an absolutely unique and beautiful place to stay. The roomy lounge with the searing arched window frames and stained glass windows, along with the three sofas and log burner is such a comfortable room to relax in. There was plenty of wood provided to allow a few days worth of fires! The kitchen on the upper floor is extremely spacious, with ample surfaces and all the ammenities needed for an extended stay, plus the two secluded lounging areas in the two back corners are wonderful for some quiet time. The bell tower, with the metal spiral staircase leading you up two levels to the cosy room at the top is an exciting area to chill out in, and enjoy the daytime views, or the night sky. Each of the four bedrooms (3 doubles and 1 twin) were spacious, with The Vestry (that also has a door that opens into the Graveyard) being the most unique bedroom of them all. The Wifi was solid, which was also useful because the phone signal in that area was unreliable, and contact with Sam was most helpful, as well as a personal call from the owners to check that the minor questions I had were promptly resolved. The location itself is great, with a 20 minute drive to most things in Kielder, including our night at the Observatory, and visit to the Birds of Prey. Easy access to the locations on Hadrians Wall, and also only 1.5 hours to Lindisfarne/Holy Island and the stunning Bamburgh Castle, as well as Dunstanburgh and Warkworth castles.

• Robert John Yates, July 2025

  lovely setting, good for families. open plan practical

• Vit Krajicek, November 2024

  This was one of our the best stays ever! The church is so magical and the entire living space so comfy!

• Steven Ratcliffe, October 2024

  A beautiful holiday home in a beautiful location and we wanted for nothing just perfect

• Paul Paton, October 2024

  An amazing place, so well done and a great back story. Glad we have been lucky enough to find it and have a chance to stay there.

• Helen Sheehan,September 2024

  It was an excellent property with so much charm. My wife and I both agree that it's the best property we have ever stayed in. We will be going back as we enjoyed our stay so much!

• Lisa Foster, August 2024

  Amazing place to stay. Lovely and welcoming we were really impressed. Fantastic features and everything you could possibly need was there. A great time was had.

• Michael Richardson, July 2024

  An absolutely gorgeous place to stay, a wonderfully designed space that succeeds in being both modern and fascinatingly historic. Beautifully maintained and impeccably clean, with lovely facilities. We had an amazing time and would love to return.

• Mrs Caron Shearman - September 2023

  The Old Coach House is a beautiful and much loved holiday home. In fact, it’s a home from home! Stunning views with an abundance of wildlife. Every room was furnished to a very high standard and with wonderful antique furniture. Plenty of wood to make a fire which added to the ambiance of the house. Amazingly comfortable beds, pillows and duvet’s which ensured a good night’s sleep. So important after a long day walking along Hadrians Wall. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything that you needed. All spotless and clean. Plenty of room for your own things and the bonus of an awesome utility room. The hosts, Anne and Bill were lovely and the welcome food package was a real treat. Anne was always there if you needed anything and gave lots of advice on things to do and places to visit. The Pheasant Inn at Stannesburn (5 minutes up the road) is a must for a fabulous meal. We couldn’t fault anything here and highly recommend The Old Coach House for a great family holiday.

• Mrs Sarah Hare - October 2023

  Perfect

• Mr Mark Johnston-smith - September 2023

  We had a wonderful stay at the Coach House it was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated and furnished. It was obvious that much thought had gone into the creation of this lovely place to stay. It exudes elegance and comfort. There was a lovely welcome pack, which really helpfully had essentials of milk, tea, coffee and wine ! The large garden was wonderful for relaxing and perfect for our dog to race around! It is close to a road which can be busy at times but the delights of the property far outweighed this. Being a Dark Sky area meant we had some fabulous star gazing and appreciated the sounds of owls and night animals. While you do need to walk on the road to join a footpath, the road has good visibility and mostly wide verges. You can also access the river directly onto a private stretch through the wood opposite and down the bank. The host’s welcome was second to none. It feels like Anne takes pleasure in your enjoyment of the Coach House and any issue however minor was sorted immediately. We loved our stay, would definitely stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

• Miss Louise Fletcher - September 2023

  Wow

• Mr George Potts - June 2023

  The house is beautiful, practical and comfortable and the owner was helpful and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for having us.

• Mrs Christine Goult - August 2023

  Beautifully converted church, mixing the splendour of the past and the comfort of the modern. The church was spotlessly clean and well equipped with quality products and we wanted for nothing.

• Mrs Linda Irwin - May 2023

  Had a lovely relaxing stay at this property The owners are very welcoming and helpful The coach house is very spacious and our grandchildren loved the large enclosed garden . Ideal for visiting Keilder and the surrounding countryside. Bird of prey Centre at Keilder was amazing, well worth a trip. Would recommend the Cheviot and the Fountain cottage cafe in Bellingham. Linda & Colin

• Mr Mick Healey - July 2023

  This is a gorgeous renovation of a beautiful old church set in a lovely landscape. The accommodation suited us perfectly - six adults, two children and three golden retrievers. The weather wasn't great but there is plenty of space for family activities when the rain closes in! The area offers a lot of activities for children, lots of short/long walks with or without dogs in a beautiful landscape, much history and many pretty villages/small towns. We loved it.

• Mr David Simpson - April 2023

  Charming house, everything you could need and very comfortable. Beautiful area, lovely and quiet, access to lots of nice places. Great place to stay.

• Mrs Diane Dennis - June 2023

  Greystead Old Church has to be one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in. Our family found it not only spacious and well designed but also a most relaxing and comfortable environment in what is a superb conversion of this most splendid Church. Well equipped with every home comfort and the space for all ages of the family to relax and enjoy this most unique setting. Thoroughly recommended as a unique stay.

• Mr Jack Edis - April 2023

  Extremely high quality premises, very well-equipped and furnished to a high standard. Received a very warm welcome from the property owners who live adjacent. Good central location with easy access (with sat-nav) to Roman forts/museums, castles and the coast eg Lindisfarne. Set in the rolling hills of Northumberland, an area not sufficient known about.

• Mrs Leticia Wiemer - March 2023

  Greystead Old Church has been done beautifully! The owners have kept the beauty of the old church features and added all comfort of modern life. The bedrooms are comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, the living room is the best reading spot one could possibly dream of, the kitchen…just superb, every item you need is there, thoughtfully designed, a dream kitchen! Our family of 5, with 3 young children and 2 dogs have had a sublime time in Northumberland and cannot wait to visit the Greystead Old Church in the near future, when the tower will be open and amazing views of rolling countryside will be at the doorsteps!

• Mrs Kellie Daniels - January 2023

  Amazing space, incredible part of the world!! We will absolutely be visiting again soon. Thank you!

• Mrs Charlotte Jones - February 2023

  A fantastic property, excellent garden, lovely decor and a relaxing atmosphere. This is our second visit and I am sure we will be back again.

• Mrs Rosie Gregson - December 2022

  Amazing we think it's the best place we have ever stayed. The church is beautiful and area stunning. It can't be faulted.

• Ms Marie Logan - January 2023

  A gorgeous house, big rooms lovely decor, and a huge walled garden our Border terrier was in heaven. Perfect location for all the major Roman sights, but also just for a night in enjoying the log fire.

• Ms Karen Callingham - November 2022

  This is a fabulous spacious property, beautifully converted, with everything you need. We have been with friends three times now and loved it every time. The surrounding area is stunning with lots of lovely walks to enjoy either around Kielder Water or across the moors.

• Mrs Jayne Moxon - November 2022

  Our family & our 2 dogs enjoyed a week at the Coach House in November. A lovely cosy break. The house is beautiful, warm & spotlessly clean. The setting is stunning with a safe walled garden for the dogs to play, all set in the beautiful Northumberland national park. Close to facilities in Bellingham & near to all the many visitor sites. Hosts are friendly & the welcome pack was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend a stay here & i’m sure we will return.

• Mr Steve Welton - September 2022

  This was a great property for three couples it had all that we needed.

• Mrs Marijke Stiggelbout V D Berg - September 2022

  We have had a great time and the owner gave us a very very warm welcome. The place was excellent, the beds, the furniture, the kitchen equipment, it was all top!

• Mrs Carole Bennett - October 2022

  This is the second time we have stayed in this beautiful house. It has absolutely everything you could need. Very clean and beautifully furnished. The area is great for walking and cycling. Will definitely return.

• Mrs Tina Howells - August 2022

  Beautiful property in a beautiful area. The property was full of character and maintained its original peaceful qualities. Everything was catered for and the owners were nearby, friendly and not intrusive. Would love to come again.

• Mr Ian Drever - July 2022

  Great place to stay. Particularly as we have a few ancestors in the graveyard and my Great Uncle was the Rector just over a hundred years ago. We had also left a few things behind, which were sent on to us. Thanks again

• Mrs Lesley Groves - October 2022

  This well presented Coach House is truly deserving of its five star rating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, comfortable property. The area was new to us but Anne and Bill provided us with information which we used to plan our outings. After a long day out, we really appreciated the log fire and so did our two dogs. There is so much we did not have time to see and do that we know we will be back!

• Mrs Alison Neilson - June 2022

  A very unique holiday home. An exquisitely renovated old church keeping original features. Extremely dog friendly, our doggy companions enjoyed the use of the outdoor space.

• Mrs Alex Bailey - July 2022

  We loved staying in this stunning area. As hoped, we were able to walk a section of Hadrian’s wall, cycle at Kielder, visit Vindolanda, Hexham and Alnwick, and go to the coast. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The garden is lovely too and a longer stay would have allowed us to make more use of it. We were grateful for the detailed notes provided.

• Mr Philip Curran - March 2022

  Great property, beautiful clean and well appointed. The surrounding area is stunning. We had a great time and would highly recommend to others.

• Mrs C Argent - July 2022

  Beautiful property, so much room and the garden is fantastic and very large. A very comfortable stay.

• Mrs Thompson - May 2022

  All enjoyed stay in Greystead church and sad to leave. Particularly impressed by size and furnishing of kitchen area. A good ‘together ‘space. The owner was very helpful. The churchyard was lovely and we often walked in it - also had barbecues in our own field .

• Mr Brian White - May 2022

  Accommodation was spacious ,comfortable and clean. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Would certainly like to go back one day.

• Mr Burns - October 2021

  The old church is a lovely place to stay. It as been thoughtfully and carefully restored to provide an ideal place to stay. It is set within a lovely part of Northumbria with Kielder Forest just a 10 minutes drive away. There are numerous walks and places to visit in this area and the Old Church is a great base to explore from. Anne (the owner) is always happy to answer any queries that you might have and a wealth of knowledge about the local area. There is a separate enclosed garden which is safe for pets and young children and a ‘dark skies’ base for star gazing. This is by far the best rental property that I (and the family) have stayed in and I highly recommend it.

• Mr Mark Palmer - May 2022

  Really well equipped and comfortable holiday cottage in a beautiful location. Would highly recommend.

• Mrs J Batstone - May 2022

  Set in a fabulous walled garden and with amazing views of surrounding countryside, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer holiday venue. The Coach House is so warm and welcoming with all the facilities one could hope for. The lounge has big comfy sofas and a wood-burning stove. The dining room is a delight and gives access to the garden. The kitchen/diner is fully provided with all services incl a range cooker. The utility room is fabulous with a washer, dryer, lovely old fashioned airier. The downstairs shower room/wc and the upstairs bathroom (with shower over the bath) are ideal. Our hostess was very welcoming and kindly shared the Dark Skies viewing platform in the Rectory garden. We had two great clear nights for observations and photography. We also found it a great base for days out at Kielder, Rothbury and the Woodhorn Colliery museum. Highly recommended!

• Mr & Mrs Elliot - April 2022

  The Coach House is a fantastic property with a very welcoming owner. Great facilities and the most comfy bed I’ve ever slept in! Had some great days out at Alnwick Castle, Hexham, Corbridge and Wellington National Trust is definitely worth a visit.

• Mr Price - January 2020

  We have just returned from having a absolutely fantastic week at Greystead Church Bill and Ann are absolutely fantastic hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them the conversion of the church has been done to the highest quality The stain glass window in the lounge is truly amazing it’s a warm clean and welcoming place I can’t thank Bill and Ann enough for sharing this fantastic place with us and our two dogs Barney and Alfie they had the time of their life running up and down the corridor and walking in Kielder Forest which is just a short ride away I would highly recommend this converted church to anyone who just wants to drop out of the rat race and recharge their batteries many thanks.

• Mrs Sharkey - April 2022

  Gorgeous cottage. A real home from home with a massive garden for children and dogs. The hosts were super helpful and friendly.

• Mrs Poole - February 2020

  We so much room in the church to play games , entertain the children and never at any point felt over crowded . It was warm in the day and cosy at night . We had snow and our grandsons loved the experience of snow ball fighting. outside in the gardens they also loved the experience of staying in a converted church.

• Miss West - April 2022

  A beautiful home in extensive grounds, with the most wonderful kindly host - Anne is usually based on site should you need her, otherwise there is utter privacy and tranquility. Thank you for a truly glorious get-away-from-it-all.

• Mrs Lloyd - June 2021

  We’ve had an absolutely fabulous week. We adored the Old Church, Anne and Bill have done a really beautiful sympathetic restoration job. The Church is really well equipped, with plenty of space and every care had been made to make us feel COVID safe. Anne is delightful and was so helpful with our annoying deliveries. We packed masses into the week and the weather was so kind. Bamburgh, Alnwick Gardens, walked a chunk of Hadrian’s Wall, cycled Kielder water twice, once on eBikes just to try them out - such fun and we’ll never be rude about them again! Our son and his girlfriend even went to Edinburgh. Plus several lovely walks. Can highly recommend The Lounge on the Green at Houghton for a special evening out. The Pheasant was excellent, and Bouchon in Hexham is a lovely French bistro. Northumberland is a beautiful part of the country and without Covid restrictions I doubt we would have holidayed in the UK. I’m so pleased we did!

• Mrs Partridge - November 2018

  Greystead is a beautiful place to stay, the renovations have been done really well and to a very high standard. It had everything we needed and was lovely and warm. Bill and Anne were very welcoming and very helpful, we really enjoyed our stay.

• Mr Walton - March 2022

  We have had a wonderful week in this idyllic Northumbrian setting. The Coach House is probably the most luxurious, cosy and well equipped cottage we have stayed in and is a credit to the very friendly, helpful and welcoming owners. We couldn’t fault anything. There is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area and on the clear nights we had during our stay the stargazing was absolutely mesmerising especially with the resident owls hooting in the background! We would thoroughly recommend the Coach House to anyone who wants to visit this fabulous part of Britain.

• Mr Clarke - October 2018

  The Property was an amazing conversion and lived up to every expectation. It was to a great standard and was liked by us all. Plenty of room and warm and cosy. The owners of the property could not be more helpful. We all said we would love to stay again sometime.

• Mr Sadler - January 2022

  This is a very special property with charming hosts. It is extremely well appointed and managed and part of a beautiful group of buildings, including the former Church and Rectory, in a lovely location close to Kielder and Bellingham.

• Mrs F Holliday - May 2021

  We had a wonderful week. The Coach House is a peaceful retreat. We love the view and enjoyed lots of walks in Kielder and the local area. Thank you for your kind welcome with lots of goodies, and a memorable holiday in a beautiful house.

• Mrs Petchey - September 2018

  This beautiful old church has been given a new lease of life in the 21st century. The renovation has been done very sympathetically, retaining so many features of the original. This is a once in a lifetime find. I've never been anywhere like it.

• Mr Norris - March 2020

  Wow what a fantastic property! The cottage was ideal to get away from all the current stress. The owners have really thought of everything. The bed was massive & very comfortable. The decor & furnishing is of a high standard. The garden was perfect for our dog. We will definitely be back, thank you

• Mrs Deery - April 2018

  Unique property which has been converted to the highest standard. Great location for walkers or bikers and a comfortable base to come back to. Well equipped with everything you might need for a great holiday. We loved the fact that all the church features had been retained making this a special place. Well worth booking.

• Mrs Peace - December 2019

  Well equipped, tastefully presented and spacious. It was very comfortable and warm. The owners were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. We enjoyed exploring the local area which provided plenty of interest.

• Miss M McGarg - March 2018

  Had a fantastic holiday in the Church. It is amazing!! Was recommended by a friend and knew it would be lovely, but renovation is outstanding. Church so comfortable and warm, facilities are amazing. Kitchen is out of this world. Felt like Mary Berry! Rooms are done to an exceptional standard. Has to be seen to be believed. What an experience.

• MRBA2015 - October 2017

  This place is absolutely stunning. Before you get inside the church is an amazing building but once inside it is just so impressive. Accommodation for eight people and still plenty of room so you are not falling over each other. It can be cold up here but the heating system is first class, we even had to turn down the thermostat. Ideally situated for various local attractions and great country walks. I am more than happy to give Greystead Church my highest recommendation and I would love to go back.

• Mrs Clarke - January 2019

  Just to say that we have holidayed at The Coach House several times over the years and we have never been disappointed. Great property and great location and very dog friendly. The owners who live in the adjacent house are genuinely lovely hosts.

• Chris W - January 2017

  You may think holidaying in an old church is odd. Within a few minutes of walking in you are so impressed with the conversion you forget it is an old church and just enjoy the space.

  Well equipped and very good heating system.

• Mr Van Delft - November 2018

  The cottage represented one of the best we have ever stayed in. The online information provided all the necessary information, and the follow-up emails informed us about our upcoming holiday and reminded us to make contact with the landlady. The initial contact with the landlady was warm and efficient, and she was present on arrival to show us the cottage and give us all the relevant information to fully enjoy the cottage. The cottage was fully equipped to a high standard leaving us with no recommendations to make it a better experience. We are definitely going back in the near future.

• Mrs Thurlbeck - February 2017

  What an amazing property, finished and furnished to a very high standard. The features of the Church were used effectively and with good taste. A warm and comfortable stay, highly recommended.

• Mr Dean - October 2018

  One word EXCELLENT.

• Mrs Brockley, December 2016

  Stunning, breathtaking, amazing place with so much character and warmth considering the age of the property - perfect in every way.

• Mrs Loftus - September 2018

  The description of the house was very good along with the pictures, we were not disappointed in our expectations, in fact, the house was better because the furnishings were of very high quality and we felt very privileged to be able to stay in such grandeur. The garden being fully enclosed with a stone wall, was superb with wonderful views of the fells, we saw stunning and varied skies with gorgeous dawn and sunsets. Our hosts were lovely and very welcoming and hospitable, nothing was too much trouble and we were encouraged to pick fruit from the many fruit trees in the garden which made bountiful fruit pies. Kielder Park was a wonderful place to visit to get the best fresh air, the lake looked stunning, the forest walks suitable for buggies and wheelchairs and the Visitor Centre offered a comfortable place to sit whilst enjoying freshly baked cakes with a pot of tea or coffee overlooking the lake. This was first time to this part of the COuntry and will definitely go back as a stargazer, spectacular. The only disappointment was only being there for one week.

• Mrs Brigham, December 2016

  A truly amazing conversion of a beautiful Old Church. The stained glass windows were stunning, as were the views. Attention to detail was very high and many original features were beautifully preserved for us all to see. The whole place just oozed history and it was fascinating to see the photographs in the hall showing various stages of its conversion. The property was very clean and well equipped and it was lovely to have quality bedding and towels. It was extremely spacious and designed to be very sociable for a group of family or friends. The owners were very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. I would certainly recommend this property.

• Ms Lucas - February 2018

  A beautiful cottage. Very comfortable rooms and bedrooms. Lovely and warm. Superb location near Kielder Water and Observatory.

• Mrs Rutherford, November 2016

  Fantastic conversion of Greystead Church to amazing holiday accommodation. The owners were super, the accommodation was beautiful and very luxurious. Would highly recommend a visit!!

• Mrs Mitchell - May 2018

  The owners who live at the property are very welcoming and helpful. They take a great interest in their properties which they are constantly updating and improving. The Coach House is charming and spacious with beautiful extensive grounds and views of the countryside. There is plenty of visitor information with ideas on places to visit and things to do.

• Mr Warburton, October 2016

  What an amazing place to stay! It is the most beautiful building and renovation, and the owners make it so special. Do some research too, the history of the place is fascinating and makes it even more special!

• purplepenguin81 - November 2017

  Beautiful and comfortable place to stay. All amenities you can ask for. Stunning grounds and friendly owners. Great welcoming and information. Great for nature watching and stargazers. Brilliant location for sightseeing.

• Anne2578 - September 2016

  Nothing really to say except, stunning and faultless accommodation.

  The conversion is great and very tasteful, felt very comfortable. The house is equipped with everything one needs for a holiday. Thank you to the owners.

• Amy M - October 2017

  The whole family had an absolutely incredible stay in this property, it had extremely comfy beds, each room was extremely spacious and lots of storage. There was everything we needed to cook each night and the house was lovely and cosy. Perfect location as lots of walks/biking and good restaurants in the area. Would highly recommend.

• Mr Mackenzie, July 2016

  Superb. Fabulous accommodation. Immaculate. Thank you. We will be back...

• Ms Mather - February 2017

  Had the most amazing week. Welcome from Anne and Bill was lovely. Home from Home plus more. Beautiful location. Would definately book again.

• Mr Buxton, December 2016

  The Coach House was fantastic as the owners were too, they were very helpful. In the Coach House is catered for everything you need, top class dining facilities, lots of towels and great comfort. We will be going back again, that is for sure.

• Mr Macmillan, February 2016

  Easily the best place that we have stayed in. Beautifully furnished and equipped to a very high spec. Very friendly owners (Anne and Bill) who are available if needed but everything is that well thought out and organised that we didn't need to contact them. We met the owners while walking the dogs and they were very friendly indeed.

• Williams Family, New Mills, Derbyshire, April 2014

  This is the most beautiful rental-everything is top rate from the towels to the crockery (all John Lewis!). The bathrooms are all beautiful decorated and the owners have thought of everything - sewing kits, spare bulbs, etc. the starter kit for the wood-burner kept us going all week in February!! There are many lovely walks from the doorstep and many more if you drive a little distance first. ..... If you're looking for a special place to stay...this is your place! There is enough space for families to stay together without living in each other's pockets! ....Thoroughly recommend staying here. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.”

• Mrs Williams, October 2016

  The house is fantastic, clean, well stocked, but also relaxing to be in. Near great places to visit and hosted by Mrs Monroe who can not do enough for you, always friendly and welcoming. Fab place to be for a week or two!!

• A Trip Advisor Member, Lancaster, May 2014

  We booked this cottage as a "surprise" get- together.. and what a surprise we got. This immaculate church conversion was in an idyllic setting and very near the lovely town of Bellingham and the Kielder National Park and facilities. We had an excellent time. The equipment was excellent and VERY modern, so much so that we old folk couldn't quite understand why the rings didn't heat up on the hob... we'd never come across the high spec induction hobs before!. We went as a group of 8 and there was more than enough room. There are different places within the living area for some people to watch TV, some to listen to the radio and others to watch a DVD. As a "Brucey-bonus" we could also take the dogs. Well worth booking - highly recommended.

• Mrs Mackenzie, October 2016

  5 luxury, this stunning cottage in a beautiful location. Ideal base for visiting Northumberland Coastline, National Trust and Heritage Sites.

• Jan G, Worthing, United Kingdom, May 2014

  This was a really quality experience. From the outside, this looks exactly like the country church it ever was (built in 1817) but once inside it is impossible not to be totally in awe of the magnificent conversion that has been undertaken. Bedrooms, (3 of the 4 are en suite) are now situated where once there were pews. At the altar there are steps up to the mezzanine floor where the main (huge) living space has been constructed, over the top of the aisle and the bedrooms. Everything is top quality here, and the view of the stained glass window from above is just magnificent.

• Mrs Carter, January 2016

  The Coach House was so well equipped and comfortable and it was the loveliest house we have stayed in so far and would definitely recommend it.

  Most self-catering properties are a bit of a disappointment compared to the photographs on the website (at least in my experience), but you certainly couldn't say that about Greystead Old Church. This is an exceptionally good conversion of a wonderful Gothic church, and although the property still has a churchy feel, it has been brought bang up to date with hotel-quality bathrooms, antique furniture, and a fabulously well equipped kitchen. All the furnishings are first class, with lovely white linen and fluffy towels.

  We had a fantastic week in this excellent property. Fabulous period features and furniture give the property a luxurious country feel. The house is well equipped and there was nothing that hadn't been thought of. Very clean and high quality fittings made the stay very comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome and at home. A brilliant base to get away from the world and enjoy the Northumbrian coountryside. A holiday we shall certainly remember.

• Mr Weaver, Leeds, July 2014

  Best self catering accommodation we have stayed in. Fantastic conversion.

• Mrs Rainbow, September 2015

  Beautiful property in a lovely location. Warm and well appointed. The quality of the fixtures and fittings was excellent. Stargazing from the garden was amazing and we saw some shooting stars. The owners are delightful and made us feel very welcome. We would certainly visit again.

• Mrs Roberts, Liverpool, March 2014

  The owners were very helpful and friendly, fabulous garden very safe for both children and dogs, we would recommend this beautiful property to anyone looking for peace in a beautiful place but within reach of walks, forests and lakes. You just can't go wrong.

• Mr Steward Norwich, June 2014

  This property is indisputably first class. Thoughtfully and beautifully restored with high quality fittings and furniture and a stunning mezzanine with a well equipped kitchen and dining area. This was absolutely ideal for our party. We spent our time walking, golfing, and visiting National Trust properties. Each evening we congregated for supper at this wonderful property. The owners were charming and helpful.

  A fantastic, impressive house beautifully furnished and very well equipped. The secure walled garden was lovely for us and our dog to enjoy. Owners were very welcoming, offering help should it be required and respected our privacy too! A wonderful house in a wonderful part of the world.

• Mrs Williams, High Peak, February 2014

  This property is outstanding, I can't think of anything that would improve the accommodation at all.

• A FlipKey Verified Reviewer, Lincolnshire, May 2013

  This cottage just oozed character. From the comfy lounge with log fire and bureau, the spacious formal dining room complete with suitably chunky furnishings, the scatter rugs and massive king size bed in the main room and the warm and inviting kitchen - this cottage wraps its arms around you from the start! The owners live next door - close enough to call on if you need anything (like local information) but not so close that you feel invaded. I will be back to this lovely part of the country and if this cottage is available I will certainly book it again.

• Tony, Sheffield, April 2010

  We could not fault this cottage. Everything about it from the location to the facilities to the owners exceeded all our expectations. Without doubt we will book this cottage again.

• Miss Bacon, Hove, February 2012

  The cottage was absolutely beautiful, very welcoming and cosy. It really felt like home rather than the usual holiday let. The beds were particularly sumptuous. The owners were also very helpful and friendly. I would recommend The Coach House as a place to stay in Northumberland, and would definitely stay again. Many thanks.

• Mrs Wootton, Sawbridgeworth, December 2011

  Warm welcome by the owners. Immaculate attention to detail throughout the house and general thoughtfulness for what a holiday maker needs in a home-from-home. It was the most enjoyable stay we've ever had in a holiday cottage.

• Mr Foster, Neston, December 2011

  The Coach House was all that it said, and more. We really can't stress how beautiful the house and location, and how helpful and pleasant the owners were. The house was full of charming features, was old world yet with modern facilities. No expense had been spared, from ultra modern shower room and Aga, to antique furniture and numerous paintings. The garden was a delight to behold, perfect for us to enjoy, yet totally enclosed to allow dogs and children to roam unattended. I could go on, but suffice to say that this cottage is perfect, warm, dry and welcoming.

• Sue, Sussex, December 2009

  From the moment we opened the door to this beautiful home to the time we closed it, we felt as though we were at home. The owner of the cottage had ensured it was warm and welcoming and was friendly and non intrusive throughout our stay. My sons who live in Newcastle and Scotland are unable to visit us at our home in Sussex very often and do not spend time together due to work commitments, this lovely house opened its doors to us all and we spent many evenings round the log fire together. Unlike many holiday homes, where it is obvious the owner has filled the rooms with utilitarian furniture and fittings, this lovely coach house had things that 'fitted'it was charming and we fell in love with it. Especially the Queen bed.We took some lovely photos from the kitchen window and now I want to go back.
