“Lovely spot - our second time and yes we would recommend it”

- Janet, November 2024
Janet October 2024

“A clean and comfortable holiday cottage that is well equipped and provided with thoughtful extras.”

Off street parking in Alnmouth is an additional bonus. I managed to lose the key one evening and both owner & the letting company were extremely helpful.

- Janet, October 2024
David September 2024

“It was a great location, very welcoming to come back to.”

Clean and well maintained. The welcome pack was well received and the voucher for the local pub/eatery was a lovely gesture and we enjoyed a lovely meal there. The building work seems to have stopped so it would be interesting to know when this will completed. Having your own parking space was a definite bonus as the parking in Alnmouth is at a premium.

- David, September 2024

Thank you for your review - we are glad you enjoyed your stay. The building work opposite is nearly complete; it is in the 'fitting out' stage plus some exterior paving work. Hopefully not long! Property Owner

“Alnmouth is set in a stunning location, and a place we return to year after year.”

Situated in a central position, with dedicated parking, Schooner Court provides exceptional quality accommodation that is both well-equipped and presented to a very high standard. We have stayed at Schooner Court No 1 on more than one occasion and the experience each time means we have no hesitation in highly recommending it to others. We will certainly be rebooking ourselves when visiting Alnmouth again.

- John, July 2024

Thank you for your lovely review - we are very happy that you enjoy staying at Schooner Court. Property Owner
Christopher June 2024

“The only downside of the holiday was the building works opposite and the state of the balcony overlooking the building site.”

The fake grass on the balcony was covered in moss balls and other rubbish and the chairs and tables were very scruffy, but facing the building site there was no temptation to sit out there. We appreciate that the building site opposite is not your direct responsibility but on windy days we had to clear loads of builders rubbish from around our car and had to remove rubbish before we could park in our allocated spot. It was clear that the builder or developer had run out of funds and that the site was closed down, so the problem is likely to persist for some considerable time.

- Christopher, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback and for the scores you gave for the apartment. We are glad that you had a good stay but disappointed that there were some issues. We will check the balcony furniture and replace it if necessary. Regarding the building work opposite, although it is nearly finished the work on it is beyond our control. However, it was included in the property description on the website and additionally we contacted all guests staying in June and gave an additional discount because although the work is not disruptive, it is a bit unsightly.

“1Schooner Court was very well furnished and fitted out with all matching furniture and joinery to a high standard.”

As stated in the property info the construction works being carried out are a bit unsightly at the moment but did not disturb us at all. If nitpicking I think some new cushions on the couches would match the high standard of the other furnishings.

- William, May 2024

Thank you for your great feedback. We're pleased that you weren't disturbed by the building work, which is nearing completion. Your comment about the cushions is noted - we'll action this as we like to keep everything to a high standard! Property Owner
Anne May 2024

“Betty the dog and I have just had a very comfortable week in Schooner Court No 1.”

It had everything you could possible need and was of a high standard. Yes, the building work was going on but I can't say it bothered me over much as I was out much of the day and they seemed to finish about 4 pm anyway and did not work at the weekend. It did not really detract from my stay. The apartment is very close to Alnmouth's beautiful beach, shops, cafes and coastal path from which we went on many lovely walks. I can highly recommend this property and location and would not hesitate to return.

- Anne, May 2024

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are very pleased that you had an enjoyable stay and that the apartment fulfilled all your needs and expectations. Property Owner

“An excellent flat, well equipped in a good location.”

John March 2024

“Very clean and light and fitted out to a high standard.”

Shame about the building site opposite.

- John, March 2024

Thank you for your positive comments about Schooner Court. We have kept upcoming guests informed about the work being carried out opposite (and it is on the property description), and have given a discount, so we hope that goes some way to offset any issues (the work is unsightly rather than disruptive). We hope it will be finished soon! Property Owner

“It was lovely - very comfortable and everything works and yes I would happily stay there again.”

- Janet, February 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you had a good stay. Property Owner
Rachel August 2023

“Good modern property.”

Well equipped and located. Parking space a plus. We’ve stayed here a couple of times and would look to again but concerns over the hosting company increased booking fees.

- Rachel, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback - we are glad the apartment met your requirements. Regarding the charges, these are set by NCCC/Sykes are are not within the control of the owners. Property Owner
Joanne August 2023

“Cleanliness could be improved, blinds, sofas and mats need cleaning as well as behind bedside cabinets/ beds full of dust.”

Noise from builders was far more than we had been advised, with it staring every day at 8am and even 7am on the Saturday, no chance of a lie in. Marketed as sea views which isn’t technically correct as it’s estuary views which are obscured by the building work/ other properties.

- Joanne, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We will look into the issue you raise about the cleaning - we rarely get comments about this so we will check with our cleaner. We did contact every guest to inform them of the building work and gave a substantial discount, however, work should not have taken place on the Saturday - we have contacted the builders about this. We have just checked the property description and sea views are not mentioned: it says '....a balcony where you can enjoy the view of the estuary', and this is shown in the accompanying pictures.

“We have visited Alnmouth for over 30 years.”

It is an ideal place from which to explore the many delights of Northumberland with its spectacular countryside, beautiful beaches and historical sites. There are good places to eat nearby, some good pubs and all are dog friendly. During our visits, we have stayed at a wide variety of properties in Alnmouth, but none have been better than Schooner Court. We had the the upstairs accommodation, which lived up to its online description and photos. We can highly recommend Schooner Court and intend to book a return there in 2024. At the moment there is some building work taking place opposite the property, but we had notification of this beforehand and we found it did not detract from our time there. This work we are told, will be fully completed in October and should if anything, make it more appealing to visitors in future.

- John, July 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the apartment (and have booked again!). We are also pleased that we were able to keep you informed about the building work opposite and that it didn't cause undue problems. Property Owner

This would suit families or friends wishing to holiday together. Building work has been taking place opposite Schooner Court 1 and 2.

We do not know when it will resume but when it does, there will be some activity on the remaining three properties (external paving to be laid plus internal fitting out to be done).

When the work is completed, the road will be resurfaced.

Neither the owners of Schooner Court 1 and 2 or Northumbria Coast & Country Cottages have any control over the neighbouring works, but at some time during the midweek (work is not permitted at the weekend) there may be some activity.

We will monitor the work and update this information as necessary.

About the location

ALNMOUTH

Alnwick 4 miles.

Situated just 4 miles east of Alnwick, Alnmouth is a charming resort popular with golfers and those seeking a peaceful holiday. The village lies on a narrow spit of land between the River Aln and the North Sea and was originally the port for Alnwick. Nowadays the area has returned to its unspoilt origins and offers a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as an excellent “links” golf course and some great rivers for fishing, as well as boasting miles and miles of splendid beaches and sand dunes to explore which afford stunning views of the North Sea. A short drive will bring you to Alnwick with its famous historic castle, The Alnwick Garden housing the Poison Garden which runs guided tours through dangerous botanicals and a variety of pubs and restaurants. Alnmouth is well situated for exploring Northumberland.

Note: Building work has been taking place opposite Schooner Court 1 and 2. This is nearing completion (four out of seven units are fully finished) but as of October 2024 work has temporarily ceased. We do not know when it will resume but when it does, there will be some activity on the remaining three properties (external paving to be laid plus internal fitting out to be done).
