Aln Cottage (Alnmouth)

The property was lovely and very well presented.

My sister & I were very pleased & have stayed in several properties over the years and this was one of the best.

We had a lovely stay at Aln cottage.

It had everything we needed for our stay. We really loved lots of the little, thoughtful touches that you don't often find in holiday accommodation, for example there were plenty of hooks for hanging towels to dry, plenty of shelf space to put things on in the shower, a sewing kit in the bathroom drawer etc. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The cottage is also perfectly positioned for enjoying and exploring all that Northumberland has to offer. I think we will be back!

This is a lovely space to spend a week in.

We enjoyed the comfort, appreciated the calm decor and loved having a good size kitchen. We loved it so much, we have already booked it again for Easter next year!

Beautiful cottage, fully equipped with everything we needed.

Great location, loved it! Would definately book again.

A really great cosy cottage, very smart,well presented and looked after.

Clearly much loved by the owners .A very good position in the town with a stunning beach just down the road. We completely loved it. I highly recommend it. Sykes very well organised too..A very happy customer..

Lovely clean and comfortable cottage - highly recommended!

A beautiful little cottage, finished really nicely with modern decor and furnishings.

This is tucked away, so it's a very quiet place to stay, while still being within minutes of everything you'd need in Alnmouth. I particularly loved the very comfortable beds with sockets by the bed (a rarity in holiday lets!), the great shower, and the beautiful working shutters downstairs. The TV is too high, but I'm not sure where else you could put it! I would also have liked a note on where to find the dustbins, and ideally the possibility to separate out recycling.

We have just stayed at Aln Cottage for a week and enjoyed it very much!

We received a lovely welcome card along with some treats for us. All information needed was easy to find in the hand book and the highchair left out for our baby was a bonus! Location was fab and in the centre of Alnmouth. The Cottage had everything you need with a real home from home feel to it. We stay in Alnmouth many times a year and would return ☺️ Thank you

We have been saying in Aln Cottage for over 10 years as we love it.

..great position...very clean and comfy...log burner is a treat when cold...the new windows are great but the main new feature is the brilliant new bathroom. Highly recommend staying here.

Lovely little cottage within a very short walk to excellent restaurants and the beach.

The only slight downside is the lack of a dedicated parking space, although the only time this was an issue was over the bank holiday weekend.

An amazing cottage in a beautiful village.

Very well equipped with everything you would need for a break. Fantastic shower, comfy bed etc etc. Would definitely book again! (Any chance of a bench outside in future upgrades?)

A lovely place to stay and we enjoyed the welcome treats and postcard welcoming us back!

Lovely clean and beautifully decorated cottage.

Well equipped. Superb shower room.We found the beds a little too soft but maybe to the liking of others.The television needs to be repositioned as it’s too small and high to watch comfortably. Alnmouth is a beautiful village with many good places to eat and drink. We had difficulty parking on the nearby roads as many require a parking permit and our stay was in high the season.The only carpark is the beach car park and you cannot park there overnight.This did not stop our enjoyment of the area as once we parked we left the car and used the local buses which run to many nearby places

Really nice little cottage that was comfortable and clean.

I thought the TV was a bit small considering it was set quite high up over the fireplace but that’s just a minor point. Couldn’t use the hob as we couldn’t work out how to use the controls and couldn’t find an instruction booklet

The cottage is immaculately decorated, clean and comfortable.

The owner left us some welcoming items in the kitchen which were much appreciated. Downstairs there is plenty of room in the kitchen which is well stocked with appliances, crockery and cutlery, along with a few condiments in the cupboards. Upstairs the bedrooms are large enough with plenty of storage, my only problem was the double bed was too soft for my liking, it will suit others though. The bathroom is well tiled and modern, as for the shower, I could stand under that all day it was brilliant! The location of the cottage makes it very quiet and it is just a five minute walk to the beach. The down side is parking. Alnmouth is a popular location and it is nigh on impossible to get a parking spot close to the cottage if you go out for the day in the car. I had to drive round several times each evening to find a parking spot which ended up to be on Riverside Road. Although it was only a five minute walk back to the cottage, if there were tired children in tow it could be an issue. Alnmouth has several places to eat on Northumberland Street, most of which do takeaways, I can thoroughly recommend Fish & Chips from the Hope & Anchor! All in all though we had a great week and we have no complaints whatsoever about Aln Cottage

A delightful cottage right at the heart of this lovely village.

Clean, well equipped, comfortable and quiet. It's just a shame that Aln Cottage is no longer 'dog friendly'.

Cosy cottage good use of space.

Would have liked more plug socket’s.

Lovely cottage which was very clean, cosy and well kept with all the amenities, bed was a little hard for us but it’s difficult to know which one to get !

only other slight problem was that no smart tv which would have been great as the house had internet - would have no problem highly recommending for a couple with a dog.

This is a pretty cottage but it is NOT dog friendly .

If the owners do not want dogs upstairs then don't have an open plan layout. We have stated I dozens of cottages and we have never felt so tense and unwelcome. Would be perfect for a dog free couple . We felt so worried that we drove home after a few hours wasting our money

Beds were awful not one decent night sleep, cheap mattress.

Bathroom need up date plus an extract fan to prevent black mould. shower head had black deposits of mould, and could do with a detachable shower head for the Mrs to wash her hair separately. Otherwise neat little place.

Cottage - recommendations to improve the experience for others: 1) more electrical socket plugs in the main bedroom.

The existing extension lead couldn't reach the other beside lamp, or to the mirror area when using the hairdryer 2) small fixed extendable mirror in the bathroom as the wall mirror is set to far back to be of use 3) additional blankets for use both downstairs (when the evenings were chilly) and/or use for in the bedrooms Information booklet headed up "NorthumberlandCoast and Cottages" made references to 1) use of discounts for local attractions. I contacted and subseqeuntly advised these are only available off season. I suggest (and have emailed but no response) to add a footnote to this information sheet within the property. 2) a garden and a parasol - but we didn't see this and confused us as this was not listed in the booking details. Please ensure inforrmation aligns

Perfect cottage in a perfect village.

Aln cottage is as cute as a button with everything you could need, though maybe bring a sharp kitchen knife. Beds are comfortable, the shower is good and hot water is plentiful for deep bubble baths. We really enjoyed hanging out in the light and characterful lounge/kitchen, though we spent most of the day out on beaches or coastal paths. It is a few minutes stroll to the immaculate, golden, sandy beach, which is very popular yet has plenty of room, even at high tide. I recommend a sunrise/sunset paddle when the birds on the estuary and sand banks are calling. Most atmospheric. Parking is a pain, but the X18 bus is frequent from the village and the nearby train station is on the main line to London, Edinburgh and more. Brilliant cottage in a brilliant location.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location.
