    “Poor information about lack of on street parking would have been a real disappointment for less mobile guests.”

    However the beauty of the surrounding area and other locations made up for the initial annoyance.

    Thank you for your review and feedback. We have now added more information to the listing, adding that there is no parking with the cottage,which is at the end of a narrow road, 2 minutes walk from the main road. Neighbours are generally happy for a car to be driven down for loading and unloading if this is something you choose to do. Car parking is at a premium in Alnmouth as it becomes more popular and in the warmer months. We have recently applied for a parking permit but unfortunately the cottage does not qualify. I’m glad the area’s natural beauty made up in some way for your initial annoyance , all good wishes Heather Property Owner
