The Coach House

Do not stay at this hotel in low season as the place is basically shut down. We were there in late September and we were the only guests. The restaurant was shut and the only staff at the reception left for the night . We were told to enter by a side door which was kept open. It felt like being in a ghost hotel, especially since it faces an abandoned building with broken windows. To be fair , the room was clean but small and the attendant at the reception was nice and helpful.

My boyfriend and I were really impressed with the Coach House in Otterburn. It’s in a beautiful location and the inside of the hotel is very nicely decorated and was immaculately clean. We stayed in room 10 which was a very pleasant ground-floor room just off the main dining area. The bed was comfy, the bathroom spacious and most importantly, the room was kept lovely and clean. Food in the hotel was absolutely delicious and was to be commended. We both had leek & potato soup to start, followed by cod, and both were fresh-tasting and worthy of any fine dining restaurant anywhere. For breakfast the next day we had scrambled egg and smoked salmon on sourdough and this was just as nice, along with a good range of cereals and yoghurt that we helped ourselves to. Lastly, the service we received at check-in and while dining in the restaurant was brilliant. Amy was lovely and made us feel very welcome, as was the young man who was also serving whose name I unfortunately didn’t get. They are both an asset to the place. I’d highly recommend the Coach House and look forward to coming back sometime.

Lovely hotel, staff extremely welcoming and food delicious. Owner Paul, couldn't do enough to help us and waitress in bar was very cheerful and chatty. The room was comfortable and warm and we were located within easy access of outside door as we had a puppy with us.
