“Beautiful accommodation, comfy, clean, and a great location.”

Particularly like the Red Lion pub & their pizza. The Post Office is like the Tardis - you can get booze, shampoo, tin foil, and fresh veg. Some constructive feedback: 1. Another chair in the living room would be good as we four adults sized humans felt like the Royle Family squeezed on the sofa. 2. While the arrival parcel included washing up liquid, dish washer tabs (nice touch) and UHT milk sachets; a loaf, butter pats and a pint of fresh milk and perhaps 1/2 dzn eggs, would have ...

Loo roll. A spare in each loo please - counting the sheets is not fun! I actually left some spare for the following guests. Overall a great little spot - we had a lovely time and these little tweeks would make it superb! Thanks

“We stayed here last year and enjoyed our time in Alnmouth so much we came back.”

The property its self is excellent and well looked after. We have no issues so we will be booking next years visit shortly. What more could you ask for, Alnmouth is lovely, the beach is beautiful and the local people are vey friendly. Go ahead and book it and see for yourselves and I'm sure you will enjoy it too. Not to mention how good Sykes are too so we will be booking The Old Concert room again for 2027.

“Whilst the property was well equipped, incredibly comfortable, in a great location and had a parking space, it was impacted for us by the fact that it was above a pub.”

This was not mentioned in the listing (other than in a small note about accessibility being up outside steps) or in the reviews of the property. Our first night was ruined by the fact that there was a huge amount of noise from below until after 11pm with sport on TV and conversations and shouting. Most other nights were quieter but all were impacted. We left a night early to avoid the Friday night. If you were happy with this then it’s a fab property but felt dishonest that this wasn’t mentioned in the property listing for people to make an informed decision.

“Lovely place in beautiful Alnmouth.”

All is as listed, and those who have commented previously on the decking will be glad to know it’s been replaced and looks absolutely pristine!

“Overall a very positive experience.”

An excellent location. The basics- cleanliness, bed linen, towels shower kitchen equipment etc etc were excellent. Comfortable and cosy and good value for money. Easy booking system instructions for access etc very efficient. A few things. The decking is pretty worn but this has been mentioned before on reviews. The warning description of the stairs accessing the property was accurate, so we were aware. However, we did find them a bit challenging as we had two dogs to take up and down . We managed. The shower is splendid but the flex a little worn near the shower head end. Ok for us but may need checking out. Also, we did need our torch, as advised, when we arrived in fading light and pouring rain so maybe the security light coming on would have helped. Only small things. Overall we would recommend the Old Concert room as a well equipped flat in a great location for people and dogs. The stairs were the only drawback for the two of us - aged 75 and 80!

“We enjoyed staying in the property - it was clean, spacious and had most of what we wanted.”

Having the parking space was also really handy We'd stay again but the odd niggles were: - the listing stated that there was a dvd player present - it wasn't but the owner provided it (but not the remote!). - there were only 4 toilet rolls for the 2 week stay (not a lot for 2 people) - no mid stay refresh was done (cleaners didn't ask for key to be placed in key lock and didn't let us know when the refresh was going to be done. Having missed it, no alternative was offered)

“Very spacious and well equipped.”

Well located in the village. Own parking space. Patio to let the dogs out on. Patio needs a little work.

“Nice holiday apartment in Alnmouth.”

We stayed there for two weeks as a family of four. Kitchen is well equipped. We will likely come back.

Louise June 2025

“We spent a very relaxing week in this very comfortable apartment.”

Interior is very well maintained but the exterior decking is in desperate need of attention.

“The property was excellent without a doubt but is being let down by the tired decking.”

This will not put us off booking for next year but may disappoint others. We would like to know if the owner would consider a 10 day stay and if so what would be the cost. Thank you.

“Love Alnmouth and love the Old Concert Room, however we did think the apartment was not quite as well looked after than when we stayed in June.”

There were no cleaning cloths, so I had to use a duster for the sinks and shower. No small cardboard box containing washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, sponge for pots and spare bin bags. No oven gloves (although we did not cook in) and again no toiletries, as are provided in much cheaper accommodations. A lot of the pots were dirty, so we just washed and used a few. We do understand this could be the previous occupiers, however perhaps a quick check would be good. Kitchen cupboard fronts were dirty. The decking was broken in a few places and weeds were growing up through it and the outside table and chairs could do with updating. I know this all sounds a bit petty, but we know what the apartment can be like and we were a little disappointed this time. It will not stop us returning, but for the price charged, we feel it needs a bit more attention to detail. Please get a sign made for the parking place, as we had to ask a couple of times for vehicles to be moved.

Steven June 2024

“We had a great holiday one of the cleanest properties we have stayed in.”

Everything that we needed in the apartment. However the patio area was lacking and Spartan compared to the next property next door. Allocated parking was not clearly identified and the rear of the service men’s club could have done with some TLC to make it more appealing to guests.

“Lovely accommodation and will definitely come back if at all possible.”

Superb position in Alnmouth, was a lovely place to return to after days out. Felt like home from home. By far the best accommodation we have stayed in during our many stays in Alnmouth. Perfect to open the doors and let the sun (and wind) in and the dogs out onto the decking. The decking could do with a bit of care and the small bistro table and chairs have seen better days. Was a tad disappointed that no toiletries whatsoever were provided. There was a virtually empty liquid soap bottle in the downstairs toilet, but fortunately we had a small bar in wash bag, so didn't have to rush out and get anything. Please also have a look at the bathroom door, as it does not shut properly. Thank you for a lovely stay.

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

It was spacious, comfortable, clean and perfectly situated in Alnmouth village. We would definitely come again.

“The Old Concert Room provides an ideally situated, well equiped and comfortable base from which to explore the beautiful village of Alnmouth and the surrounding area.”

Nick December 2023

“Really lovely indoor space, very traditional and cosy and most of all warm and extremely clean.”

We have a dog and to find such excelent accomodation is unusual and we treated it accordingly. Outdoor space was a little unkempt, broken storage box and a little poor;y maintained. Also, the parking space NEEDS IDENTIFICATION. We will return!

“A great location, once we got used to the parking as there seemed to be different cars at the back each night.”

Apartment was spotless and kitchen very well equipped. Quite a bit of noise from the Servicemen below/next door on the evening of our arrival - though it was Remembrance Day and probably to be expected. Range of IR sensor for outside light not quite wide enough so that small step on decking wasn’t illuminated when returning in the dark. 2 of the 3 bulbs in the bathroom not working. Also one of the bedside lamps, plus the table lamp on the windowsill to the right of the door in the main room.

“Lovely property with an ideal location.”

Well equipped kitchen and good sized bedrooms. Parking a little confusing as the instructions say to park in the marked bay but it wasn’t marked? The neighbouring property decked out was marked so we took a guess but could maybe do with a sign. The book inside also said there was a parking permit you needed to put in the car but there wasn’t one. Had a great week with some good weather- would definitely go back

“Absolutely lovely property, very clean,comfortable and well equiped.”

Very close to the village centre and access to the beach and convenient for travelling to other places of interest to us. Thank you.

Judith July 2023

“Lovely large property.”

Comfortable lounge with furniture to suit the ages of the property . The kitchen was really well equipped with just about every utensil and crockery you might need. The welcome packs for cleaning and provisions were very different but an excellent touch . Spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds. The shower room is perfect and the water power and immediate hot water much appreciated . Only small negative is that the outside decking may need to be replaced before too long but still very usable along with the outside furniture. All in all highly recommended.

“We had a good fortnight here although the weather could have been kinder.”

The location is excellent & the on-site parking a godsend. The apartment is over a pub but there was no problem with noise even over the Coronation weekend. The apartment is well appointed on the whole. Excellent shower, appreciated having 2 toilets, a very efficient washer /dryer, lots of cupboard & hanging space & we would enjoyed making use of the patio area if the weather had been better. Only a couple of gripes; the double bed sags a little in the middle & the slope on the bedroom ceiling made it difficult to read comfortably in bed; a few more pots/pans in the kitchen would have been helpful as would a long-handled brush and/or a dustpan & brush. I don't know who sets the prices (Sykes? the owner?) but we felt the apartment was expensive compared to others in the same location & our plans to return next year were cancelled when we saw the increase in prices for 2024. How do you justify a 20% increase for the equivalent dates?

Clare April 2023

“We had a lovely stay.”

Property was airy and spacious. Comfy beds and generally well stocked. Hoover would be handy. Ideal for us as a family of four. Good information leaflets - particularly the booklet of local walks. Very little noise from pub below and never disruptive at all. We probably caused more noise to them clattering about!! Also no noise from street. Very close to beach and facilities. Beautiful setting with amazing beach. Walk to Warworth brilliant.

“This is the first time we have stayed in this property.”

It certainly won't be the last. We absolutely loved it, everything was perfect. It would probably not be suitable for young children or people with a disability due to the steps up to the property. Beautiful place and would highly recommend. Jayne, Mick and Buddy (the dog)

“A great property overall.”

Really clean, very central, lovely outdoor area. Had everything we needed and we very much enjoyed our stay. Very little noise from the club heard in lounge and absolutely none whatsoever in the bedrooms. Overall, we didn’t want to come home. An amazing holiday in our favourite area of the country!

Alnwick 4 miles.

Situated just 4 miles east of Alnwick, Alnmouth is a charming resort popular with golfers and those seeking a peaceful holiday.

Nowadays the area has returned to its unspoilt origins and offers a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as an excellent “links” golf course and some great rivers for fishing, as well as boasting miles and miles of splendid beaches and sand dunes to explore which afford stunning views of the North Sea. A short drive will bring you to Alnwick with its famous historic castle, The Alnwick Garden housing the Poison Garden which runs guided tours through dangerous botanicals and a variety of pubs and restaurants. Alnmouth is well situated for exploring Northumberland.
