The Coach House at Crookham was just as wonderful as I remembered. You can see from my new mosaic the little changes that have been made to my favourite room. It was a lovely place to sit and relax with a pre dinner Sherry before making the way to the dining room for interesting conversation with the other guests.
The delicious home cooked evening meals were always followed by coffee or tea in the residents lounge which was conveniently placed next to my favorite room. The lounge has an honesty bar which is very well stocked so there is no need to go searching for anywhere to have a drink after dinner. Probably just as well because the nearest pub went bankrupt and closed about 18 months ago.
There was also the option for afternoon tea with cakes, but I was good and resisted the temptation most days.
Leona was as welcoming as ever and I think she was as sorry to see us go as we were to leave.
Oh yes I forgot to mention what a wonderful location it is situated in. There is so much to see and do and the area is steeped with history, I left with so many things still on my to do list. Oh well there is always next time 
Mmm, Cherie, definitely approve the changes in decor! Looks gorgeous, as is the surrounding countryside. Have always wanted to visit Berwick; but only managed to pass through on train. Did you get that far, or were the delights of your immediate area enough? Glad you had a great time, anyway.
It is such a wonderful place to stay, I can’t wait to go back again.
I stayed in Berwick when I was a youngster and visited the barracks and town walls in 2007, this visit I just had a quick look around the main town.
I visited lots of places on my recent visit but still was left wanting to do more.
The Caernarfon coach house is just a couple of doors down from me. It just looks like a small house now though. No stables.
I think I have found the one you mean, it looks quite quaint
The top left pic in my mosaic is the main house of the property where I stayed. The old stables around the courtyard have been converted into more guest bedrooms and the residents lounge.
Superb – especially the second last.
It is a lovely place James
Do you meant the patio shot?

That looks a lovely place to stay Cherie, I’m definitely putting it on my hit list fo one of our British holidays. The garden room looks suitable for me as it’s ground floor, so obviously no stairs to deal with….This is something I can’t manage anymore.
My husband has always had a hankering to go to Northumberland, but I’ve been reluctant, after having had a miserable holiday there, many moons ago!
After reading your article you have changed my mind.
I remember visiting Berwick on Tweed, that was rather lovely, sadly I can’t remember much else about the place…

All the rooms around the courtyard are wheelchair friendly although the one we stayed in isn’t. The lounge and the dining area are also suitable for wheelchairs. You will have to let me know if you do decide to go
