    “Once again thank you for a wonderful holiday.”

    The Old Watchtower has stunning views. The property is well equipped for a comfortable stay, and has excellent WIFI connection. We stayed for 3 weeks again, and each week we had fresh linen delivered to the door. The heating kept us warm especially when the snow and ice arrived. When it was time to leave, we popped into the office to ask if we could vacate a little later due to the weather and driving conditions, Nikki, the owner was very kind and accommodating in allowing us to vacate by ...

    The Old Watchtower has stunning views. The property is well equipped for a comfortable stay, and has excellent WIFI connection. We stayed for 3 weeks again, and each week we had fresh linen delivered to the door. The heating kept us warm especially when the snow and ice arrived. When it was time to leave, we popped into the office to ask if we could vacate a little later due to the weather and driving conditions, Nikki, the owner was very kind and accommodating in allowing us to vacate by 10.30am. Excellent customer services promptly dealing with our request. Thank you for the complimentary bottle of wine and crisps which was much appreciated. The property was very clean and tidy upon arrival. The screen that has been taken down around the patio area, we found to be positive as we could see the views clearer and was able to take photographs. The property is just a few minutes away from the beach and golf course. Thank you once again.

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: This property does not accept short breaks.
