What a lovely cosy cottage in a good location village shop and pub near by.
It's well stocked with everything you need very comfortable and warm also has a great log burner if you want a nice atmosphere. It's also dog friendly which is an added bonus. We had a really nice time there very relaxing. Would definitely recommend.

Throstle Cottage provided is on paper with what we needed for our week away with our dog. On arrival, it far exceeded expectations! The layout of the cottage on a single level was perfect for us and our rescue dog as she felt close to us throughout the stay and settled quickly. The cottage had everything needed in terms of equipment and added extra touches, like places to put jewellery, torches, and a lovely welcome basket. Appliances all worked beautifully. The gardens were fully enclosed & parking at the front of the property was easy. Lesbury is very pretty and a great base from which to visit Northumberland’s treasures.

The cottage was ideal for two people to relax in comfort in quiet surroundings. It is close to local amenities and in walking distance of Alnmouth.

Our second visit to Throstle Cottage which is in a perfect location for everything along the coast & 20min river walk into Alnmouth. A well stocked hamper for us and bowl, towel & treats for our dog. Highly recommend!

Cottage is beautifully equipped with quality fittings and equipment. Slight hiccup with the heating controls but the owner was very proactive and kept in touch.
Great location with plenty to see and do. Very quiet village makes for a peaceful break - we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending or returning for another break.

The cottage and front garden were very pretty and Lesbury is a quiet peaceful village.We slept like logs and enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was provided (apart for a coffee machine) and we brought our own.We had hoped that the village pub would be a gem but sadly it wasn’t.(unfathomable opening hours for pub and food) The lovely village shop was a joy.The welcome hamper was really great.

We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful stay at Throstle Cottage and slept so well! The Coach Inn has recently reopened and at the moment is just serving light bites throughout the summer. In the autumn the pub is closing temporarily to refit the kitchen and then will reopen with a full menu and opening hours. It will be a positive addition to the village and guests staying in Lesbury will have a lovely place to visit for an evening. I look forward to welcoming you back to Northumberland again in the future.

Our happy place

Comfortable, clean and in a fantastic location. Well equipped. The greeting basket with local food and drink is a thoughtful and welcome touch. Within a couple of hours of arriving, the owner, Sue, called and asked if everything was ok. Very helpful. First rate- we will return. No hesitation in giving the cottage and customer care 5 stars. If I could give more, I would!

This was our second stay at Throstle Cottage so it felt as if we were coming home. We immediately felt comfortable in the spacious cottage.
Lesbury is a lovely village, quiet with a local shop and pub, and within walking distance of Alnmouth.
Sue, our host, is most responsive to questions, so we always felt there was help at hand, if needed.
A wonderful base to explore the beaches and National Park in Northumberland.



Highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Throstle Cottage. Felt like home from home. Such attention to detail! There was a lovely welcome hamper. (The dog bowl and towel n treats were a lovely touch). The cottage has retained so much character but with a lovely modern kitchen n bathroom. The front garden is an absolute delight. Will definitely be back. Thank you to Sue, the owner, for her check in call to make sure all was well. Your cottage is a credit to you. Kind regards Audrey and John

Lovely country cottage. Cozy & clean. Had everything we needed for a weeks stay. In a perfect location. Great walks from the doorstep to Alnmouth & beyond.
Some road noise at busy times of day when sitting in the garden. But the sound of the birds & the scent of the roses made up for it.
Would definitely stay here again.

Throstle cottage with its easy on street parking and enclosed private garden was a superb base for a dog friendly holiday . The wealth of walks from the door and access to the coast as well as the delightful Alnmouth for deli coffee and refreshment choices was perfect.We were glad to support the recently reopened Coach Inn a few steps from the front door and the community run village shop.Further afield the Running Fox didn’t disappoint for breakfast and takeaways in various locations.A thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable holiday!

wonderful cottage, excellent poisition - nice easy walk into Alnmouth via the river - which the dog loved. (great pub for Sunday lunch (red Lion))
great welcomining atmosphere, welcome basket of goodies, and a phone call from the owner to check everything was okay.

Loads of books and a couple of games provided, along with the log burner made for cosy evenings.

The bed was really comfortable really squishy without being too soft.

Kitchen well equiped to cook up a storm (or reheat M & S finest, which was 5 minutes down the road).



A perfect cottage!

Beautiful Throstle cottage is perfect in every way. As soon as we walked through the door we felt at home. It is very well equipped, roomy, comfortable, warm and cosy, spotlessly clean and in a fantastic location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning coastal area.
There is so much to see and do, we wished we had booked a longer stay!
The extra touches of the welcome basket and fresh flowers were very much appreciated, also the phone call from Sue the friendly owner of the cottage making sure we were happy with everything who gave us tips on walks and recommendations on places to eat. All just perfect, Thank you!

I enjoyed my stay but found the lighting levels very low, particularly in the kitchen, & the lack of the advertised DVD player very annoying.

Classic village cottage located in the main street of Lesbury.
Parking on the road may cause concern for some but there is adequate space just beyond the old Post Office. Throstle cottage is an excellent base for exploring the Coastal area from Alnmouth to Berwick on Tweed.
Alnwick Gardens and Castle are a must.
If you like really good seafood go to Amble and dine at the Old Boat House.
Overall a well equipped and comfortable cottage.

We have stayed here twice now, and Throstle Cottage has everything, including a very thoughtful and helpful owner. The cottage is conveniently placed for exploring Northumberland. We particularly enjoyed the short walk to Alnmouth with its wonderful beach. Our dog is a big fan! The Cottage is extremely well equipped and has everything you could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We couldn't recommend it highly enough.

We stayed here for a week in July/August and all was as described. The cottage was very well equipped and spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable. Large bedroom and bathroom adjacent including a slipper bath and hot powerful shower. Plenty of useful information from Coquet Cottages prior to our stay. Friendly owner too. Parking on the road outside the cottage was never an issue.
Pleasant half hour walk in to Alnmouth for good pubs and restaurants and a superb beach. Would recommend the Red Lion pub and particularly Bistro 23 for superb food.
Overall a great location for exploring beautiful Northumberland.
We hope to return.

This is a great place to stay for 2 people. The location was ideal for coastal walks and just a 20-minute walk into Alnmouth. There is a bus stop just a minute's from the house which was handy for travelling to and from walks which meant we hardly needed to use the car during our stay.
