“This is a well located property in a lovely village by the sea.”

The village is just off the A1 so it is easy to get wherever you want to visit. The property has plenty of space and has all mod cons you need. Excellent value for money.

Marion May 2024

“A lovely comfortable ground floor apartment with plenty of space, well equipped kitchen, very nice bathroom with bath and large walk in shower, and location ideal for a beach holiday.”

A bonus was a parking permit.

- Marion, May 2024

Thankyou Marion. That is most appreciated. Please come back soon. Property Owner
Barry May 2024

“One problem at an otherwise perfect stay.”

I chose to use the bath, unfortunately on completion I could not get out I was stuck. Shouting to my wife who came to my rescue. Im 83 my wife is 82 the bath is deep and wide witch prevented me getting purchase power. Whilst at the time it was laughable it could have turned into a situation.

- Barry, May 2024

We are so very sorry to hear your unfortunate bath experience that is most unfortunate. We know that a bath is a lovely luxury but maybe the large walk in shower would have been a safer bet. We will consider adding grab handles. kind regards. Property Owner
Greg April 2024

“The flat was a great size for our family.”

Really well set out and really comfortable. Brilliant location, 50 metres from the beach (for great dog walks) and just around the corner from the some nice shops, cafes and pubs. We had a great time and would return.

- Greg, April 2024

Hi Mr Hall, many thanks for your positive review. We hope to see you again very soon. Best Regards, Steve and Jo Property Owner
Lisa March 2024

“We had a wonderful week and Alnbank is a lovely property.”

Very clean, well equipped, amazing amount of games! Our only complaints would be the beds, they are extremely uncomfortable and all 4 of us had minimal sleep. The sofas also are clearly in need of an upgrade, very soft/well used.

- Lisa, March 2024

Hello Mrs Jenson, thankyou for your positive feedback. Please note that all of the matresses have now been replaced with brand new high quality new ones! We always listen and act on your feedback. many thanks for this. Steve and Jo Property Owner
Annette February 2024

“This is our 2nd stay at Alnbank and we l9ved it just as much this time as the 1st.”

The closeness to the beach fir our aging Labrador was perfect he found a new spring in his step which was fabulous to see. The house its self is spacious, warm and cosy and has everything you need you make you comfortable. As with other reviews and from staying at the property previously, I really think it's time to purchase a new oven, although there are instructions I found them difficult to translate to the actual dials on the oven. The 1st night after a few changes on the dials we got the oven working fine, 2nd night I just couldn't get the right combination and it ran cold for a long time until I twiddle a bit more. That is my only complaint once again we had a great stay and will visit again in the not too distant future. Mrs A. Macdonald

- Annette, February 2024

Dear Mrs MacDonald, a new oven is on order and will be installed by the end of April. The issue was that the setting dials had been worn off, so we decided to just replace it with a good quality unit. We appreciate your feedback and will always act of this information. kind regards, Steve and Jo. Property Owner
Simon January 2024

“We stayed at Alnbank for a week, with the dog, It is in a perfect location just off the main street and only a very short walk to the beach.”

It was very clean, all the mod cons you could ask for. The kitchen was a lot bigger than we expected and the bathroom heated floor was very nice. Will definitely look to stay again in up in that area again.

- Simon, January 2024
Angela November 2023

“We enjoyed our stay at Alnbank, which was nice and clean.”

The kitchen would benefit from a few more utensils, e.g. tongs, additional frying pans, baking trays and a new oven as the dials were worn off and the oven linings were very loose. The double bed was very creaky and the mattresses were very thin on all the beds. Overall we enjoyed our stay and with a few improvements it would be great.

- Angela, November 2023
Julie October 2023

“Fantastic holiday accommodation in beautiful Alnmouth.”

Only two minutes walk to the beach and local pubs. The accommodation is spotless and has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We will definitely be back next year.

- Julie, October 2023

Thankyou Julie for such lovely feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back again. Best Regards, Steve and Jo Property Owner
Trudi September 2023

“Alnbank is a home from home property.”

Very comfortable, everything provided that you could possibly need. Very comprehensive instructions for appliances etc. very close to the beach and local amenities. Close to station and bus stops. Would definitely stay here again.

- Trudi, September 2023

Hello Trudi, we very much appreciate your honest feedback. We hope to see again ery soon. Best Regards Steve and Jo Property Owner
Richard September 2023

“We generally really liked and enjoyed the property, especially as it was only two minutes from the beach, so handy for dog walking.”

It was pleasantly and comfortably decorated and furnished, and well equipped. Our only criticisms/suggestions, which were very minor, would be the re-decoration of the shared entrance hall, the provision of decorative garden lighting for the rear terrace, the provision of more than one loo roll, and perhaps the provision of a kitchen roll. And finally, we must mention the locals...Wonderfully friendly and approachable!

- Richard, September 2023
Helen June 2023

“Apartment had everything we needed, helpful owner and great location.”

Would recommend.

- Helen, June 2023

Thanks for your positive feedback and kind words. We do our best to please. We hope to see you again. Property Owner
Andy June 2023

“The Yard and garden furniture was dirty and unkempt.”

The kitchen was dated,needed a good clean and Makeover. The oven grill did not work and the set points on the controls were unreadable.Parking was quite tight and we did not get a permit from the owner.On a whole I not feel it was worth the money we spend staying there. We have payed less for a better standard of accommodation at peak times in Northumberland.

- Andy, June 2023

Thanks for your feedback. We are disappointed with your feedback but take on board your comments. Please understand that with such a tight changeover and the property being so popular and busy, trying to keep the back yard and furniture perfectly clean is a challenge! I hope you recall that I did call you and explained about the parking permit and about the grill. Most clients have commented that the kitchen is modern and well equipment and each year the property is updated and painted. Thanks Property Owner
Jacqueline May 2023

“An excellent property that more than met our needs.”

Very comfortable and cosy with a high degree of maintence evident. A phone call from the owner was greatly appreciated and welcomed as a problem had occured with a blind in the lounge.Highly recommended.

- Jacqueline, May 2023

Much appreciated. We hope to see you again. Property Owner
Jane February 2023

“Clean, comfy, well equipped apartment.”

Unfortunately there was a problem with the heating system so certain areas were very cold. The owner contacted us and arranged for a heating engineer to call and was clearly concerned and very apologetic about the problem. Extra fan heaters in the property so managed to heat the necessary areas. The open plan kitchen/living area was well equipped, good shower in the bathroom, parking permit for outside the property, close proximity to the beach and Main Street.

- Jane, February 2023

Thankyou for your support and understanding. We have solved the heating issue which was a blocked radiator pipe! Property Owner
Angela January 2023

“We had a lovely stay in your delightful apartment.”

The parking permit was very much appreciated. Lovely and clean. At times a little chilly especially in the sitting room. But then again it was January. The mattress on the double bed could be better, crisp white sheets and a choice of pillows would be perfect.. Perhaps a shaving point in the bathroom. All in all a very lovely apartment would definately stay again

- Angela, January 2023

Thankyou for your kind feedback. We have noted your feedback and all the linen has been upgraded with the best that John Lewis can supply! The heating has been serviced and all rooms are toasty warm! Thank you again. Property Owner

“The property is excellent with everything you need for a fantastic holiday.”

The location is superb, the beach and the village just being on the doorstep. The parking permit is an excellent plus as well as being able to take our dog. All on one floor so also excellent for people who have disabilities.

“Alnbank was in the perfect position for us in the heart of Alnmouth just two minutes from the beach for our twice daily walks (with scottie).”

It was very warm and welcoming and we very soon felt at home. It was well equipped and we appreciated both bath and excellent shower which also served as a drying area on the very wet day.
