    “Beautiful, really well equipped cottage in a quiet location but within easy reach of the coast and wonderful beaches.”

    It's worth noting that the bedroom upstairs has no door so is open to the stairs and corridor to the kitchen/living area downstairs. It also has a shower cubicle with a sliding door in the ensuite so it can be tight to get into if you're larger. The beds are very comfortable and all the furniture is lovely quality. Everything is supplied and the kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need including a Nespresso machine and a large freezer. The welcome pack has tea, coffee, milk ...

    It's worth noting that the bedroom upstairs has no door so is open to the stairs and corridor to the kitchen/living area downstairs. It also has a shower cubicle with a sliding door in the ensuite so it can be tight to get into if you're larger. The beds are very comfortable and all the furniture is lovely quality. Everything is supplied and the kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need including a Nespresso machine and a large freezer. The welcome pack has tea, coffee, milk and biscuits along with a sponge, a cloth, some dishwasher tablets, bin bags and a small washing up liquid. Garden perfect for a dog, fully enclosed with a hosepipe. Loads of DVDs and books, some games and local info. Would have been nice to have an initial supply of logs for the log burner. Heating easy to adjust and cottage was lovely and warm. Easy parking for two cars in the courtyard outside and easily got a supermarket grocery delivery. So peaceful and on a clear night the stars are incredible. Dog friendly pubs to recommend The Coach Inn, locally, The Masons Arms, Warkworth and The Northumberland Arms, Felton. Highly recommend Birsley Cottage and hope to return.

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. 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.

Note: The bed in bedroom 1 is a king-size zip-link as standard, if you require this to be twin beds, please contact us.
