“This is a wonderful cottage in a brilliant area.”

The facilities are great, it was presented in a very clean condition, with everything you would need, plus a glorious hot tub. There is a superb beach in walking distant and you are in the middle of some of the best of the Northumberland coast. You can get to Newcastle, Durham or Edinburgh by car or train if you want to. We had a brilliant holiday.

“Had a lovely week here with our family.”

Plenty of room for us all, hot tub was a lovely bonus, kids played in the garden area. The only thing we struggled with was the rubbish bin, the previous occupants had nearly filled the main bin, so we had to use separate bin bags and leave them at the side of the bin, but not sure if this was because bins are collected fortnightly in some areas, so hope it all got taken away the day we left as it was bin collection day. All in all a lovely quiet place to spend time, and very easy to get around and visit the surrounding area.

“Beautiful holiday home in a great location.”

10 minute drive from Alnwick, and a 20 minute walk down to the nearest beach. The house is well equipped, and the owner provides plenty of useful information before arrival, and is very responsive to queries. We'd definitely recommend The Croft for a peaceful stay.

“Really great property.”

Beautifully decorated, lovely comfortable lounges, everything we needed was there. Kitchen was stunning, so easy to use with quality kitchen appliances and cookware. Easy access once inside, two steps at front door quite easy to negotiate with walking sticks. Lovely quiet area, space for two cars on drive and within easy reach of lots of places to visit. It's hard to think of any improvements. Maybe a welcome pack of local products and info on local areas. ( Owner does send you information via WhatsApp and is very easy to reach). Really lovely stay ☺️

“Had a great holiday.”

The Croft is in an excellent location, and was comfortable, spacious, quiet and warm. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond. Enjoyed the garden. Picnic chairs to take on outings were a nice touch.

“This property is exactly as described, set in a quiet cul-de-sac and only a 20 minute walk to the beach through wonderful countryside.”

The kitchen is well equipped, beds were comfortable and the whole place is very spacious. Fantastic large hot tub which was cleaned in the middle of our week too. The owner was readily contactable and responded swiftly to any questions or queries .Wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Also the Running Fox cafe/ shop was a wonderful place to eat or purchase bread cake etc only 5 minute walk away

- Sharon, May 2024

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your kind feedback. I agree the running fox is definitely worth a visit. I hope to host you again in the future x Property Owner

“We had a lovely week staying at The Croft.”

The property was perfect and had everything we needed. Communication with the owner was brilliant before we arrived. Location is great, 20 minute walk to the beach, 10 minutes in the car to Alnwick and not far from other locations. The hot tub is an excellent addition, especially after long walks during the day. The sun room was beautiful to sit in and read. The area is quiet and is perfect for relaxing and having some time out. We would definitely book again at The Croft.

“The property was lovely and was a great base for our family holiday.”

The location is perfect - Longhoughton Beach is walkable, it's just a short drive to Alnwick, and also well placed for visits to all the other wonderful places along the Northumberland coast. The property itself was very comfortable - plenty of space for the whole family, very comfortable beds, and a great hot tub to help you relax at the end of the day. Communication from the owner before arrival was great - all info needed for the property and local area was provided. Overall, it was a great stay and we'd happily stay at The Croft again.

“The accommodation was brilliant.”

Immaculately clean and all the comforts of home. The walk to the beach is great - and not too far. We would love to return.

“Lovely spacious bungalow in a quiet cul-de-sac, close to the village amenities and the track to a lovely beach.”

Only a short drive to Alnwick and all it has to offer, and in easy range of Bamburgh and the beautiful Northumbrian coast and hills. A great base with lovely facilities to return to and relax at the end of the day.

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.
