“We really appreciated the high level of maintenance in the cottage and especially the high spec bathrooms.”
Everything was very clean and comfortable. The welcome food gifts were excellent. If only all hosts were so thoughtful! These special touches make a lot of difference and we would definitely book again next time we holiday in the area.

Thank you for your review, and I do hope we can welcome you back next time you visit Northumberland. We take great care in maintaining our cottage’s as we appreciate your holiday experience is valuable. I agree a little thought goes a long way, the ability to pop the kettle on after a long journey isn’t really an unreasonable expectation, and of course you need something to dunk in your tea!!!

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.
Please note; This property only accepts bookings on a Friday or Monday between the months of Nov and March
