Riverside cottage is a lovely cottage in a wonderful little village, the owners have thought of everything you will need while away and cater especially for your four legged friends, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Ideally situated for walks down by the river and The Running Fox over the bridge does amazing breakfasts and deli food to take away, Thank you also for the welcome pack that was delicous, would definitely recommend and will hopefully book again in the future. - November 2018

We have just spent a superb week with our 2 Bedlington Terriers at Riverside Cottage. In the lovely village of West Thirston on the River Coquet. The cottage was cosy, clean and we were well catered for. No need to take the kitchen sink EVERYTHING is all ready there. Very comfortable double bed, small patio area and lovely welcome pack from the artisan bakery 5 minutes away called the Running Fox. Pub The Northumberland Arms only a few doors away, dog friendly, good food and friendly staff make Riverside Cottage the perfect base to explore Northumberland . Loads of walks and information in the Welcome file at the cottage. We would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing break. - October 2018

Riverside Cottage is beautifully restored to a very high standard and we have found West Thirston to be an ideal place from which to explore the North East. We would highly recommend the two local eating places - and also The Old Boat House at Amble. We loved Bamburgh Castle and Lindisfarne, and venturing into Newcastle was a day well spent. There's so much to see here, and Riverside Cottage is an ideally situated base and lovely to come "home" to. Highly recommended. - November 2018
