“My family and I had a lovely stay at The Old Sweetshop which is very spacious with large rooms and is very comfortable having enough seating for a large family.”

The kitchen has everything you need for meal preparation and we loved the large range. Children are well catered for with plenty of games and even our dog had a bed and blanket! We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket which was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this property for a stay in Alnwick.

Rosamund September 2024

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

Location ideal, cottage had everything we needed for 4 adults and 1 dog. We also had to contact the owner for a couple of things, nothing was too much trouble at all. Would highly recommend, thanks for an enjoyable week.

Roz September 2024

“This is a lovely house - great location, perfectly clean, well equipped & would comfortably accommodate 8 people.”

(Just 4 of us). Unfortunately only one of the three showers was fully usable - top floor is “out of order” & middle floor shower-head doesn’t stay in place so needed to be handheld. Ground floor shower is very good. We’d all stay again & recommend the Old Sweeetshop as a very good holiday home from which to explore the amazing Northumberland coast.

- Roz, September 2024

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and your kind words. I'm sorry that you found the showers were not useable- I was unaware of this. I always provide my mobile number in the welcome pack for guests to contact me regarding problems like this. I will arrange for a new holder for the shower to keep the head in position and investigate fully the problem you had with the top floor. Apologies about this and thank you for bringing it to my attention. Best wishes. Alison Property Owner
Rebecca August 2024

“We loved this holiday.”

Booking with Sykes was really easy, communication with Alison was great and The Old Sweet Shop is very comfortable - huge yet cosy and welcoming. Lots of space to spread out in and the selection of board games was brilliant. Street parking was easy, we parked in the lane behind the house with no problems. The welcome basket was such a lovey touch and the two local shops are so handy. The August evenings were surprisingly chilly so we thoroughly enjoyed the stove in the lounge (entirely unnecessary, the heating was great but there is a special comfort in a real fire). Alnwick is a lovely place to visit, so much to see and do within walking distance and then the beach and countryside are really close. We didn't use it but the hop on/off local attractions bus seemed like a great idea, especially if you're not used to the hills. Our family are planning their return visit!

- Rebecca, August 2024

Thank you for your very kind feedback. I'm so glad you had a great holiday and enjoyed everything Northumberland has to offer. We are planning to bring even more board games to the house soon and also some new toys/books for our younger guests to play with on the rainier days Alnwick sometimes gets. Thanks again. Alison Property Owner
Simon August 2024

“My family and I have spent many holidays in the UK.”

.. This property is one of the nicest we have stayed in. It really is a home from home and there was not one thing that was missing. The house is roomy and comfortable and the location of the property is a 10 minutes walk into the town and attraction. Communication from Alison was great and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. Off road parking was lovely and having a shop next door was handy. The road noise was not an issue and was not noticed. Lastly the beds were comfy and we slept well. Thank you for a lovely property and making a good holiday great ❤️

- Simon, August 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback and also flexibility when our handyman had to pay a visit! I'm so glad you had a good time in Alnwick and found everything you needed at the house. Good luck with your plans for the future and thanks again for staying at The Old Sweet Shop. Property Owner
Joanne June 2024

“This was a great house for a group of friends.”

We were on a cycling weekend and there are lots of routes from Alnwick into beautiful surroundings places. The house is so roomy and we loved the comfy living room and separate dining room with huge table. The owner warned us about the water pressure not being great on the top floor but there are two other showers that work perfectly and an enormous bath on the top floor. The mattress on one of the double beds was a little thin and not as comfortable as the other beds ( all the others were great) . We had a wonderful stay at the old sweet shop and would definitely book again. We felt a little chased out by cleaners on Monday morning. They parked up in the alley as we were packing at 9.30. We were not due out until 10. They were knocking on the door bang on 10. We were done but felt a little hassled. This did not spoil our stay in this fabulous house. We really enjoyed it.

- Joanne, June 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback and also for the points you mentioned that could have made your stay better; I will be addressing all of them in the hope that all future guests find everything comfortable and more relaxed. I hope your cycling went well and you enjoyed some of the delicious food Alnwick has to offer guilt free. Best wishes. Alison Property Owner
Sarah April 2024

“The cottage was lovely, very spacious and one of the best equipped we’ve ever stayed in!”

there was even a bed & blanket for the dog. In one room there was a huge selection of toys which was greatly appreciated. It was very clean with plenty of available cleaning products for us to use along with spare dishwasher tablets. There were other essentials like tea & coffee, salt & pepper etc left for us too. Communication & instructions from the owner before had were both very clear & good which enabled us to get to and into the house with no problems.

- Sarah, April 2024

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback and your kind words. I'm glad you had a good stay and found all the things necessary in the house. We've found the games are quite handy for rainy days/ when kids need distracted! Property Owner

“The property exceeded expectations !”

The property was gulley equipped with everything you would expect and more. The furnishings and fittings were well maintained.

- Sarah, October 2023

We are always looking to improve our guest's experience when they stay at the Old Sweet Shop. Best wishes. Alison Property Owner
Mary October 2023

“This is one of the best holiday homes we've stayed in Its very spacious, ...”

This is one of the best holiday homes we've stayed in Its very spacious, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean, the photos don’t do it justice regarding the space available Very comfortable beds and quiet neighbourhood The position couldn’t be better to explore Alnwick and the surrounding area and there are shops very nearby for essentials Really good communication from the owner

- Mary, October 2023

Thank you so much for your very kind feedback. We are very fortunate to have a wonderful cleaner who has very high standards. I'm glad you found everything comfortable and made use of the local shops for essentials; we are very fortunate to have so being close by. Best wishes. Alison Property Owner
Wendy September 2023

“Just perfect, gorgeous warm house.”

Exceeded all expectations. Much larger than we thought which was brilliant for our family. Emails from Host/Sykes regarding the property were really helpful and accurate. Folder in the kitchen .. invaluable help. Host have thought of everything to make your holiday relaxing. Location is near all amenities/attractions and parking was easy.

- Wendy, September 2023

Thank you for your kind words; we really appreciate them and are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your holiday. We try to keep our information folder as up to date as possible so pleased to hear it is of good use. Best wishes. Alison and Neil Property Owner
Martin July 2023

“We had a wonderful time in spite of the awful weather.”

The property is fantastic in most respects and very comfortable. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Kitchen is very well equipped. The only thing I recommend here is a fruit/lemon squeezer. The fridge in the kitchen is far too small even for a stay of five nights - needs to be twice the size. We could not get any heating to come on and this was a major problem as the weather was so cold for July. We followed all the instructions but the boiler did not come on. There was not enough toilet paper for a family of 8 for five nights and the quality of the paper was very poor. These are fairly minor points but we believe they need to be addressed to make this property a truly five star experience. Finally, can we say a very big thanks from all the family. We would definitely recommend and would stay again.

- Martin, July 2023

Thank you for your kind words and constructive feedback. The weather was really rotten when you are visiting, but I'm glad you still managed to make the most of your time in Alnwick. We now have a larger American style fridge freezer in the property and I will look into getting a fruit/lemon squeeze. I have passed on to our cleaning team your feedback re. toilet paper. I'm sorry that you struggled to get the heating working. It is normally a case of pressing the up button on the thermostat in the hall to increase the temperature, without having to touch the boiler. I will review our instruction manual to make this as clear as possible, but please remember our contact numbers are included in the information folder for problems like this. Thanks again. Property Owner
Emma July 2023

“We were a group of friends staying for the weekend to do the Macmillan Mighty Hike.”

The property was ideally located in central Alnwick, very clean (it accepts pets but you would never know) and super comfortable. The owner communicated really well, (currently a broken shower on the top floor, but with two others in the house this did not bother us). I would definitely stay here again, thank you!

- Emma, July 2023
Julie July 2023

“It was an excellent property for 8 people to stay in without being on top of one another.”

The house was very clean, we all agreed the beds were comfortable and it was in a great location for walking to nearby pubs and restaurants and for generally exploring Alnwick.

- Julie, July 2023
Joseph June 2023

“The property owner warned us in advance of a problem with the top floor shower beyond her control, which we managed.”

“We loved this holiday home.”

Very comfortable and warm and suitable for family groups. Location is good for attractions in Alnwick so no need to drive. The owner advised us of the maintenance work that had not been completed before our visit. Some lovely local businesses to support too. Local people were all very friendly and chatty.

- Andy, March 2023

The “ welcome pack” was greatly received by us and the dog. The beds were extremely comfortable with lovely bed linen and fluffy towels. I celebrated a special birthday there with the family and it was just perfect. Can’t fault it at all.

- Kate, September 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I'm really pleased to hear that you were able to enjoy your birthday with family and that you had a great time. We have tried to make the house as comfy as possible so you can relax after a busy day and enjoy the company of the people you are with. Property Owner
Chelsea August 2022

“Wonderful! The property was fantastic and had everything you could possibly need.”

Alnwick itself is lovely, the castle and garden are a great day out for all the family and are only a stones throw away. The property was in a fantastic location to go off exploring Northumberland and then coke back for a good nights rest in a very comfortable bed!

- Chelsea, August 2022

Thank you for your kind words. We agree that Alnwick is lovely and we are so fortunate to have so much beauty close to us. We have worked hard to try to make the property like a 'home from home' so this feedback means a lot. Thank you again. Property Owner

Jacqui June 2022

“The house was perfect in every way!”

From the quality of the bedding and towels to the decor. So many lovely little touches made it one of the best property's we have ever stayed in. As we were only there two nights we thought it so thoughtful that there was washing up liquid, dishwashing tabs and plenty of loo roll!!! There was a hamper with fresh bread, shortbread and tea/coffee and butter, fizz and milk in the fridge. The kitchen was so well equipped and had plenty of plates, cups, etc and an excellent selection of glasses and there was a brand new dog bed left for our family dog and the house was spotless. We cannot recommend this beautiful property highly enough. Outstanding in every way.

- Jacqui, June 2022

Thank you so much Jacqui for your wonderful feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. It would be lovely to welcome you back any time! Alison and Neil Property Owner

The property

Located in the heart of Alnwick, Northumberland, is this large three-storey Victorian terraced house; The Old Sweetshop.

Originally built as a shop and dwellinghouse in 1899, this was converted into one large family home and has been successfully modernised and updated.

With four bedrooms sleeping up to eight guests, this pet-friendly accommodation (downstairs only) has spacious living and sleeping areas and high-quality modern facilities, Alnwick has historic sites, luscious countryside, and the stunning coast all within easy reach.

The ground floor hosts a stylish kitchen/ diner, it is sure to please any budding chef with its spacious feel and electric range cooker (fan oven, conventional oven, top oven and grill), 5-burner gas hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and microwave (washing machine located in the cupboard in hall).

The separate dining room with seating for eight guests contains a small sitting area with TV, DVD player, books and selection of toys; ideal for little ones to play, whilst the adults enjoy a glass of something refreshing.

Find less formal seating in the main sitting room with sumptuous leather sofas, fabric winged armchairs and a coffee table, a 4K Smart TV and a selection of board games are available for entertainment, or alternatively snuggle up with a good book by the warmth of the woodburning stove for a quieter evening after a busy day.

Completing the ground floor is a compact shower room with WC and heated towel rail.

On the first floor you will find three well-appointed double bedrooms.

Bedroom 1 is a large room with superking size bed (can be converted into twin beds on request) and sofa, bedroom 2 contains a kingsize bed, and bedroom 3 has two single beds, a bathroom with a bath, shower over, and heated towel rail completes this floor.

A staircase leads you to the second floor landing with a handy desk for any office work that may be required and access to a bathroom containing free-standing bath, shower, WC and heated towel rail, the bedroom on this floor contains a king size bed with dressing area and comfortable poang chairs, for increased privacy there is the option to lock the bathroom door access from the landing and use this bathroom as an en-suite accessed from the dressing area.When you are ready to explore the area, a short stroll (5 minutes) leads you past the iconic Barter books (pop in to peruse the second-hand books) and onwards to the cobbled streets of Alnwick town centre, filled with independent shops, galleries, cafes, pubs, restaurants and a weekly market, here you will find the Alnwick Playhouse (arts centre, theatre, cinema and tourist information), Alnwick Castle (featured in many well-loved TV and movie series including Harry Potter, Downtown Abby and Transformers) and The Alnwick Garden (home to the world’s largest tai Haku cherry orchard, a grand cascade water feature, bamboo maze and poison garden).

For more active leisure, the Willowburn sports centre (15 minute walk) has a swimming pool (including separate shallow pool for younger guests), soft play, climbing wall and fitness gym, in addition to badminton courts and sports hall for hire.

Alnwick Castle golf course (non-members welcome) is situated 0.5 mile from the house, tennis and squash facilities are 0.3miles from the house.

If you're looking for a day by the sea, Alnmouth is a short drive away with a lovely sandy beach, teashops, restaurants and wonderful sea views, Carry on to Warkworth with its picturesque ruined castle or to Amble, proudly known as “the friendliest port in England”, other costal highlights in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are Bamburgh beach with its imposing castle, Lindisfarne (Holy Island), Seahouses (take a boat to the National trust Farne islands to watch grey seals and puffins) and Craster, where you can sample some traditional kippers before you walk to the iconic Dunstanburgh Castle.

If idyllic countryside is your preference, you'll have many beautiful walks on your doorstep, especially through Hulne park with landscape inspired by Capability Brown, slightly further afield, Northumberland National Park has 410 square miles of pristine rivers, waterfalls, hills and valleys to explore, in addition to some of darkest skies in the country, giving an opportunity for star gazing at the Kielder Observatory.

For a cultural day trip, we would recommend taking the train from Alnmouth Station to Edinburgh, Newcastle or Durham, all of which can be reached within approx 1hour.

However you spend your family-friendly holiday in Northumberland, you will find everything you need at the Old Sweet Shop.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.

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.

Please note we cannot accept check-ins on a Sunday.
