Trish April 2024

“What a gem!”

This quirky and comfortable flat right in the heart of Alnwick not only lived up to the description and photos on the website, but exceeded them. It has everything you could need (if you don't need a garden) - plus. Being able to walk to all the amenities, including one of the best castle in the country, can't be bad, plus the owners really do "go the extra mile" and seem really intent on you having everything you need. Definitely a 10 out of 10 property!

- Trish, April 2024

Thanks so much Trish for the lovely feedback, it’s very much appreciated. Property Owner

“A beautiful place, unusual and interesting.”

Very comfortable, plenty for adults and children to amuse themselves. Great location within 5 minutes walk of everywhere in Alnwick, and right next door to the Adam and Eve restaurant which does fantastic food.

Claire October 2023

“Just back from a lovely stay at Pringles Yard.”

What a quirky little place, the hosts have done an amazing job. Good size rooms, plenty of space for everyone. The little single room made my 6 yr olds day, complete with books, lego, cars, drawing stuff and a desk! Everything we needed was in the house and access to some games and movies was a bonus. So central, everything on your doorstep. Parking to unload waa a bit of a challenge but as long as you don't mind carrying things we had no trouble parking further up the road. No issues with noise from the road for us using the rooms in the upper part of the house. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

- Claire, October 2023

Thanks so much for the lovely feedback Claire, come back anytime! Property Owner
Kate August 2023

“Had a brilliant stay at Pringles Yard.”

The apartment itself is lovely with plenty of room and full of character and lots of quirky things to look at. The rooms are spacious and clean and the beds are so comfortable! Things like the pool table, games & the smart tv are great too especially if it's a bit too rainy to venture out. The owners are only a call away if needed and there are helpful leaflets and there is plenty of information about the local area. There's plenty of free parking locally and loads of places to eat out. The apartment is perfectly positioned in Alnwick town centre for easy walking distance to shops, cafes and local attractions like Alnwick Castle, Alnwick Castle and Barters books. It's also easy driving distance to castles as Dunstanburgh and Warkworth and some lovely beaches and it's a great base for the North East generally.

- Kate, August 2023

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback Kate, it’s very much appreciated! Property Owner
Helen August 2023

“Location, location, location!”

Our first visit to this part of the country and we definitely hit the bull’s eye with the location! Alnwick itself if a fabulous, friendly and full of loads of wonderful, independent shops (including the amazing Barter Books) and a castle within easy walking distance. The apartment is also in a great location, 2 minutes walk from a supermarket, shops, restaurants etc. A couple of reviews mentioned night time noise but honestly I think we heard maybe two people on the Friday and Saturday night and that was it. Nothing to worry about or to spoil a holiday. The apartment is full of lovely, quirky touches. Our teenagers would say it was perfect for great Instagram posts! No hesitation in recommending both Alnwick & Pringles Yard.

- Helen, August 2023

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback Helen, we really appreciate it! Property Owner
Oliver July 2023

“We couldn’t recommend a stay at Pringles Yard high enough.”

The owners were great with communication before, during and after our visit and had thought of everything down to kids board games. The quirky decor and location were spot on: close to both Northumberland’s coast and inland attractions. We’d love to come back and visit again at some point in the future!

- Oliver, July 2023

Thanks so much for the lovely feedback Ollie! Property Owner
Cindy June 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at Pringles Yard.”

The location in the centre of town was excellent. There was a bit of ‘late night’ noise on the Saturday night but this wasn’t a problem. The flat was well situated for visiting all the attractions in Northumberland that we wanted to visit and is not far from the coast. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable and I would highly recommend it. So much so that we are just deciding when we can visit again! 10 out of 10.

- Cindy, June 2023

Thanks so much for the lovely feedback Cindy! Property Owner
Virginia April 2023

“Cozy and quirky, 1 Pringles Yard is a lovely well thought out space, brimming with character.”

It’s a really central location so great to walk to just about anywhere in Alnwick, we had no problem parking on a nearby street in fact we got the same space each time. We had wine and chocolates left for us and enjoyed a great week at a really special location. The owners are easy to get hold of and proactive. A great stay,

- Virginia, April 2023

Thanks so much for taking the time to feedback! Property Owner
Andrea March 2023

“We had a really lovely week at Pringles Yard.”

The accommodation is beautifully presented, lots of interesting features and design touches. We had everything we needed for our stay and Kris the owner was easy to contact with any queries. The position of the flat was excellent for exploring the stunning beaches of Northumberland and the surrounding countryside. Alnwick itself was lovely and we really enjoyed eating out and shopping on our doorstep I would highly recommend both the flat and the area and we will definitely be visiting again.

- Andrea, March 2023

Thanks so much for the lovely feedback Andrea, it really means a lot to us that you enjoyed your stay so much! Thanks for being such a lovely guest. Property Owner
Wendy November 2022

“We had a lovely week at Pringles yard.”

The accommodation is clean comfortable and has a quirkiness about it which is very appealing. It’s central location in Alnwick was a real bonus as we were able to be out at shops, bars and the theatre within minutes. We did find it a bit noisy at night time at the weekends but this didn’t detract from our stay. Alnwick and the surrounding area were lovely to visit and overall we were very happy.

- Wendy, November 2022

Thank you for the lovely feedback Wendy, it's so appreciated and we are glad you had a lovely stay at PY. Come back soon! Property Owner

Jane September 2022

“Think you need to say that there are steep stairs to the apartment in your information as we managed them but our age group need to know about that before we arrive.”

It did not spoil our holiday but would like to have know before hand. We had a great time in the lovely but unusual accommodation which we found very interesting and added to our holiday. Loved the window that had no outlook and the door headboard. Well worth a visit and so very centrally situated with Morrisons our corner shop.

- Jane, September 2022

Thanks for the feedback Jane, apologies that the stairs were a surprise. We will definitely add something to the welcome pack. Thanks again! Property Owner
Tracy August 2022

“What an absolute treat Pringles Yard is!”

The decor is beyond cool. I actually took photos as inspiration for my next room revamp at home. The facilities were excellent and the little touches for the children were so appreciated. Especially the Lego and cars! Perfect location with SO much to do in walking distance or a short drive.

- Tracy, August 2022

Ah thanks so much Tracy, so lovely to hear that you loved your stay and the deco, we put a lot of hard-work and thought into it so really appreciate the feedback. Property Owner
Nick August 2022

“Fantastic accommodation in the highly recommended town of Alnwick!”

We visited with a family of 4, plenty of room and very well thought out interior with an excellent kitchen, lounge with a small pool/snooker table, plenty of games, and 3 bedrooms. Will certainly visit again when in the area. Alnwick is a great place to visit within easy reach of many beaches and lots of castles! Hosts were really helpful and communicative - highly recommended!

- Nick, August 2022

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide feedback, it's so very much appreciated. Property Owner

John June 2022

“Could not recommend this property more highly if you are staying in Northumbria.”

All of the county’s attractions are in easy reach. The property is slap, bang in the middle of town so ideal to explore Alnwick. The property itself is great. Spotlessly clean, 3 bedrooms, plenty of wardrobe space, good lounge and a good sized, well equipped kitchen. It does not have its own parking but we found no problem parking within 100 yards at any time with the provided permit. We found the mattresses a little soft for us but that is very subjective and others may feel differently. If you are not using all the bedrooms I suggest you use the bedrooms on the upper floor as they are a little quieter. One tip when you arrive - the owner gives very detailed instructions how to find the property but I’d suggest just driving into town and parking on Morrisons. Then go and get the keys, open up and bring your luggage through the gate on the main road. Afterwards, move your car and park using the permit provided. You can park on Morrisons for 2 hours. The owners themselves were very responsive, friendly and welcoming. They checked in with us when we arrived and when we left. We had no problems during our stay but I’m confident anything would have been dealt with very quickly. We had a lovely stay.

- John, June 2022

Thanks Richard, really appreciate the lovely feedback! Property Owner
Steve March 2022

“A lovely stay in an apartment which the owners had made attractive and interesting - slightly unconventional and a refreshing change from the usual.”

Plenty of space over 2 floors and centrally located. Particularly enjoyed the pool table. Would happily return.

- Steve, March 2022

Thanks so much Steve, the pool table is proving very popular! Property Owner
Ronnie November 2021

“The three of us really enjoyed our stay at PY, from the small little touches like having a welcome pack of goodies to enjoying a spacious, well kitted out holiday home in the middle of Alnwick with plenty of room for the little one to run around and somewhere for us to comfortably relax in the evenings.”

The surrounding areas are lovely too and we didn't have enough time to really take it all in, so hopefully it won't be too long before we're back.

- Ronnie, November 2021

Thanks for the feedback Ronnie, it's much appreciated and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Graham November 2021

Marieke October 2021

“Pringles yard is a wonderful, contemporary and quirky place.”

It’s wonderfully welcoming and cosy and has everything you need. It’s close to the beautiful castles of Alnwick and bamburgh and the scenery is just stunning. We were there with our three children and even on a rainy day the kids entertained themselves for hours playing hide and seek. We def recommend this gorgeous little cosy place.

- Marieke, October 2021

Wow thanks so much for the amazing feedback Marieke! Property Owner
Jane October 2021

“We have spent a fantastic, relaxing week at 1 Pringles Yard with our two teenagers.”

Loved the quirky, vintage style of the apartment. The owners have thought carefully and provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. The pool table was a hit with everyone! The location is fantastic with its proximity to the castle and gardens and a wide choice of pubs, restaurants and takeaways in the town. We followed the advice to visit Warkworth, Alnmouth, Craster and took the train to Newcastle. I think we have all fallen in love with Pringles Yard and Northumberland! Thank you

- Jane, October 2021

Thanks so much for taking the time to give such wonderful feedback Jane. We are so glad you loved your stay at PY! Property Owner

- Emma, August 2021
Rosemary July 2021

“The apartment is in a great location for visiting lots of different areas.”

Alnwick itself is lovely, walking distance to the castle from the apartment. The kids loved broomstick training! Do go early as it is popular. Alnwick also has great restaurants and the Tanners Arms is a fab little pub just down the road from the apartment. Do check it out!

- Rosemary, July 2021
Kimberley July 2021

“What a lovely holiday home!”

Really quirky, with such attention to detail. We were still finding new things at the end of our week at Pringles Yard. Ideal location to explore all that beautiful Northumberland has to offer and the many attractions of Alnwick are literally on the doorstep. We will definitely return and would highly recommend Pringles Yard to other holiday makers, especially families. Thank you for providing a really lovely space for us to relax after many busy sightseeing days.

- Kimberley, July 2021
Peter July 2021

“Beautiful apartment and absolutely fantastic location.”

Great information and facilities - absolutely would return in a heartbeat.

- Peter, July 2021
Wendy June 2021

“Lovely lovely maisonette in the town centre, clean, plenty of room and all the facilities you need.”

Parking was a doddle, discs just £1 but just opposite Morrison is 24hr free. Being in the middle of town allowed us to park up after a days outing and enjoy a walk around the town to find dinner. We would recommend Sherkhan if you like Indian just opposite PY and The Plough and The Market Tavern for delicious pub grub. It was a short drive to the amazing Bamburgh Castle (sadly just missed Harrison Ford filming here) Alnwick castle was temporarily closed but the gardens are amazing especially the waterfall and the poison garden. The treehouse in the gardens looked good but would suggest booking as they were full when we got there. We also did Lindisfarne easy journey and worth a visit.

- Wendy, June 2021
Sam June 2021

“We had an absolutely brilliant stay at Pringle’s Yard, and the facilities met all our needs and more.”

It’s especially convenient for the bus station and supermarket across the road, but all of Alnwick and Northumberland in general is easily accessible. It’s clear a lot of thought and love has gone into the house, and we would be delighted to come back in future.

- Sam, June 2021
Margaret April 2021

“The owners were obviously keen to ensure that we had a good holiday and checked everything was okay once we were in and again half way through the holiday.”

The flat was fun and quirky with eclectic decor which kept you looking around for more! The location was perfect for us and we wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

- Margaret, April 2021
George October 2020

“The apartment was a very pleasant place to stay due to its great facilities and interesting decor.”

Everything from the owner was well communicated and they made themselves available for any queries we had. Although there was no on-site parking, this was never an issue with an abundance of free parking including two big car parks less than 5 minutes walk away. The apartment was well equipped with good WiFi and a smart TV which allowed us to utilise our personal entertainment packages. We would definitely use the property again.

- George, October 2020
Mandy September 2020

“Just returned from a week in Alnwick.”

The property was very clean and spacious. Location great for all shops pubs and restaurants. These are places to visit as a must if you like to get out and about. Barters Books. Fantastic fir all book worms. Alnwick Castle and gardens. Bambrough Castle. Seahouses. Holy island. Lindesfarn. Berwick on tweed. Edinburgh is a 2 hour drive away. Newcastle 1 hour away. Hulme Park on the door step. Don't hesitate in booking because if covid19 as so long as you wear your mask and re book the restaurant one to two days in advance you will get in. Hope that this helps. We will go back.

- Mandy, September 2020
Marian September 2020

“The location was great.”

Convenient for local amenities and also for other areas we wanted to visit. The accommodation was fabulous - stylish, creative, engaging and very comfortable. It had all equipment we needed and more. Any query we had was responded to promptly by the owners. The impression given was that the owners cared about the property and our experience of it. We usually choose quiet, out of the way places for a holiday base and were a bit worried that we might not enjoy being in the centre of town. In fact we enjoyed being surrounded by the buzz and activity in the town. We would definitely recommend this property and use it again ourselves.

- Marian, September 2020
Georgie August 2020

“Pringles Yard was a fantastic base to explore Northumberland.”

The property was lovely and had everything we needed for our stay. Kris and Deborah were very helpful and excellent hosts. The property was very clean and much bigger than we expected.

Gemma August 2020

“Pringles Yard was super, just as it showed in the photos.”

Parking was easy to find & never an issue. For us all the extras the owners had left for the kids was amazing, toys, books, games, lego. We had a fantastic holiday and would definitely return to Pringles Yard again.

- Gemma, August 2020
Kyene July 2020

“The apartment is in an excellent location, with Alnwick castle and gardens pretty much on the doorstep!”

Pringles Yard also made a perfect base for exploring the Northumberland coast. The apartment itself is quirky and beautifully decorated with really thoughtful touches throughout. The beds were incredibly comfortable and made for a really restful week. Communication with the owners, before and during our stay, was outstanding, recommending places to eat and visit and checking that everything was fine. They left us some delicious local goodies which made us feel really welcome. We’d love to stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pringles Yard!

- Kyene, July 2020
Hannah July 2020

“We had a really great time staying at Pringles Yard.”

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.

Please note: No stag, hen, or similar parties
