The property is pet-friendly and with plenty of walks from the doorstep is an ideal location for families, couples and walkers. With the nearest beach only 10 miles away, it's also ideal for those wanting the mix of a coastal and country retreat. The cottage is open-plan which maximises the space and light throughout. Guests arrive in to the large kitchen-living area with the dining table around to the side. The kitchen comes equipped with all the amenities required for a comforrtable self-catering stay away while the log burner in the living room adds to the ambience during the cooler autumn and winter evenings. There is underfloor heating throughout. The master bedroom has a double bed with an en suite with a bath with shower over and an electric towel heater. The second bedroom is a twin room, also with its own en suite with a stunning walk-in shower and electric towel heater. ​ Inside the rear entrance is a very handy utility room with a washing machine, ironing board and clothes dryer which is ideal for stripping off the wet & muddy clothes after a day in the country or on the beach. Outside, the stunning views from the terrace and outdoor furniture make it a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset of an evening. The garden is enclosed which makes it ideal for those with pets and/or small children. There is private off-road parking for 2 cars. Edlingham is a small hamlet approximately six miles southwest of the popular tourist town of Alnwick. Despite it's small size, there is plenty of historical interest and plenty of footpaths dotted around. The medieval church of St John the Baptist is well worth a visit while beside the church is the striking ruin of 13th-century Edlingham Castle. Much of it is in ruin, but the striking solar tower still rises to a considerable height. Just behind the castle runs an imposing Victorian-era viaduct, which dominates the green valley. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation -

Can’t think of anything! ##### Rosemary This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Prue Mar 22, 2025 #### A beautiful modern cottage Quails Nest is in a lovely position with stunning views across the valley to the hills. It is well equipped and beautifully maintained. The village is tiny and very quiet and the night sky full of stars .. a perfect location. Our host, Rosie, is welcoming and extremely helpful and left us a delicious cake! We were very warm and comfortable after our days out with the two dogs. The beds are not very supportive of bad backs, but fine for a few days/nights away… limited hot water at night, not quite enough for two baths! Neither of these things would put us off returning though, as it is such a lovely place to stay. ##### Prue This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo Ann Jul 30, 2024 #### Book early This relatively new cottage with all modern conveniences is located in a very small village up in the moors that provides a unique experience with a gorgeous view from your living room and bedroom. Your hosts are next door and very helpful: Rosie responds via email immediately. But they value your privacy and do not intrude. It is also well located for accessing all the major Northumberland places you will want to visit. Highly recommended. ##### Jo Ann ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie T.

It is very well situated for accessing places of interest and there are plenty of options for eating out. The owners Rosie and John are extremely welcoming and are on hand to give advice on where to go and what to see and also provide the best cake!We ran out of time to do everything we would like to and would love to go back. ##### Julie T.

The cottage is a new build and was exceptionally clean and spacious and contained all the furniture, fittings and cooking utensils you will ever need. The views from the lounge, overlooking the valley with rolling hills and forests, were just stunning and the cottage was ideally located for hill walking. The cottage is near the town of Alnwick, with its great castle and renowned gardens. The Northumberland coast, with its famous castles, was easily accessible. The hosts Rosemary and John were very inviting and we would like to thank them for making our stay so comforting and relaxing. We would certainly stay at Quails Nest again. ##### Phil This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Toni Oct 30, 2020 #### Quail's Nest Cottage is a cosy cottage... Quail's Nest Cottage is a cosy cottage with all the mod cons of a new build property. The cottage was clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. Some lovely touches make this property a premium stay including a log burner (not that you need it as the underfloor heating makes it very toasty), gorgeous walk in shower, a large kitchen and a handy utility area. Rosie the owner was very welcoming and was happy to answer any questions and provide local knowledge. This is a dog friendly property and my dog was well catered for with towels, bowl etc. The property is set in a very peaceful hamlet with lovely views and access to walks. It is conveniently situated for beach walks along the Northumberland coast and is only 10 mins drive from Alnwick. There are also some lovely forest walks nearby at Thrunton Woods. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for quality accommodation in a peaceful setting with convenient access to outdoor activities and local towns. ##### Toni ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen B.
