    “Fantastic house in a great location - town centre, gardens, castle are all within walking distance.”

    We also visited the beautiful Hulne Park. A great base for visiting places along the coast, we got to Bamburgh, Seahouses, Alnmouth easily. Photos of the house don’t do it justice. Spotlessly clean and spacious for a family of 4. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, including an air fryer. Shower is awesome! Super comfy beds. Host really made us feel welcome with a lovely welcome pack and the house was dressed for Halloween which our boys loved. Thank you

About the location

ALNWICK

Alnmouth 4 miles; Bamburgh 15 miles; Rothbury 10 miles.

The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike; for even more excitement, the enchanted world of Lilidorei is also available at Alnwick Gardens, offering seasonal events and plenty of fun for little ones of your group. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
