Beals Yard

Alison was a wonderful host, very friendly, helpful and kind.

She left us an assortment of goodies and treats for our dog Maggie. The accommodation was very comfortable and beautiful too. It was very quiet, although very close to all amenities, including great pubs, restaurants and shops. You did not have to go far for wonderful coastal and countryside walks. Mick and kate

Lovely stay in a great property.

Beautifully presented, really comfortable and a great location. Super friendly and thoughtful owner. Really great place to stay

Our host made us very welcome and went out of her way to make us feel at home.

We were very comfortable and enjoyed the hung pictures, ornaments, decor and the courtyard garden.

Beal's Yard is a great place to stay, this is the 3rd time we have stayed here.

Its cosy, comfortable, clean and has everything thing you need. It is right in the middle of Alnwick but very quiet. The owner, Alison lives next door and is very helpful, checking everything is ok.

Great accomodation,loved the dressing of the place made it feel a more homely environment than the usual sterile holiday let, the owner obviously cares,and because she lives next door is on hand for any unforseen problems.

It was perfectly situated right in the middle of town but because it's in a private yard with a locked gate it feels like you're in a country cottage. I would suggest you would be hard pressed to find better accommodation for a couple in Alnwick.

Beals Yard was comfortable and clean.

A charming accommodation full of character. The generous owner living next door was helpful but not intrusive. The accommodation is conveniently placed for local points of interest. Alnwick gardens and the Castle are within easy walking distance. We also found it a good base for travelling to surrounding areas. After a day of walking the coastline at Craster, it was great to have such a stylish apartment to return to.

Beal’s Yard is a lovely quiet holiday cottage in the town centre with everything you could possibly want to make your stay enjoyable.

There was free goodies left by the thoughtful owner which were much appreciated. We would definitely stay there again and would not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.

Lovely stay, super welcome pack.

Great location and friendly, helpful host next door.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Beals Yard.

The cottage is full of character and tastefully presented and Alison, the owner, was very welcoming and helpful. We liked the location, tucked away through an alleyway, with a pretty courtyard garden, but still very central to all the shops, pubs and restaurants. Parking was easier than we imagined, with overnight parking outside the property and a free car park around the corner as an alternative. Alnwick was a good base to explore the the area with its beautiful beaches and countryside.

Beal's Yard provides ideal accommodation for two people (and a dog) in a perfect location.

Slap-bang in the centre of Alnwick, it is perfectly situated for the Northumberland coast, countryside, and of course all the history that the area has to offer. It is a cosy duplex flat with en-suite bedroom downstairs and the living area above. The lounge is very comfortable, but the kitchen area is small, but fine for simple meal preparation. With many eateries just a short walk away, this was never a problem anyway. There is even a tiny outdoor space in the enclosed yard for those warm evenings, and a coat of paint to the tables and chairs would make it even more welcoming! Alison was an excellent and generous host who was always available for recommendations and advice on parking etc.

We had a great week at Beals Yard, good location near everything but hidden away.

Alison our host was lovely, thank you Alison for our welcome gifts. Hopefully we will return

Another fantastic stay.

Alison was a great host, lovely welcome gift. Checked in on to make sure we had everything we needed. As previously stayed here, would absolutely recommend. Great location centrally and private.

The property was lovely - a peaceful, comfortable property, a world away from the bustle of the High Street, yet only a 30 second walk to the Main Street, hidden behind a secret door!

Because we are lazy, I would have liked a dishwasher, but other than that it was well equipped, although a small kitchen, with limited storage. The property is perfectly located for accessing the main street of Alnwick, for the shops, pubs & restaurants etc. Parking required attention; it is free in and around the area, but we needed to move the car regularly if we didn’t go out for the day. We had a couple of lovely walks directly from the house, and Alnwick is perfectly situated for exploring the Northumberland area. Owner lives next door so any issues you can ask. We would recommend it!

We have stayed 3 times now here and find it very comfortable.

Alison is very helpful and welcoming.

Comfortable, clean property ideally situated for exploring Alnwick & the local area.

Any issues we had were efficiently addressed by Alison the owner. Would thoroughly recommend.

The shared courtyard in front of the property was very nice.

Inside the property was quirky and clean. I would recommend people use earbuds to sleep as the metal bed is noisy and the attached living accommodation is above the bedroom meaning every footstep could be heard. The living room is comfortable and the kitchen has the basics. There is a door which separates Beal's Yard living room with Alison's living room next door. Unfortunately the door is so thin you can hear every word on the other side, so privacy for both parties is an issue. Alison is lovely though and for this reason I give a 4 star review.

This is a great holiday home.

Perfect for a couple. In a quiet location tucked away in the centre of Alnwick. We had everything we needed. Great shower and comfortable bed. Highly recommend!

This property was perfect for us & our dog, right in the centre of Town with amenities on our doorstep yet quiet, very comfortable & the host living next door was on hand should we need anything or advice on restaurants places to visit ie best beaches

The cottage is in a great location within walking distance to shops, restaurants and bars and situated in a beautiful secluded, quiet courtyard full of mature plants and shrubs.

The cottage itself is small but cosy and comfortable, well appointed and clean. There was a generous welcome pack which was very much appreciated and the owner was very friendly and approachable, and if we needed help we were just to ask, however not necessary. I would definitely recommend this cottage for a couple or someone on their own,

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend, Beals yard is an excellent place to stay and we will be returning.

It was lovely to meet Alison also. The property is in an excellent position for all amenities and you are made to feel extremely welcome with some lovely personal touches.

Very pleased with our accommodation which was clean, comfortable and was equipped with everything we needed and required for our stay.

A nice quiet and secluded spot in the heart of the town; with access to parking close by which was a good feature to have. No complaints at all and we would recommend this to people we know. We hope to be back at some time in the future which reveals how much we rate this particular holiday cottage.

Brilliant cottage!

Cosy, characterful, clean. Equipped with all we could need and more, including attention to lots of little details. And of course the welcome hamper! Above and beyond with fresh bread, scones, wine etc., etc. Oh, and fresh flowers! Alison was welcoming and available but not intrusive. Cottage is conveniently in the centre of town, but secluded and quiet in it's pretty courtyard.

Beals Yard is a secluded cottage in the centre of Alnwick and steeped in history, which was exactly what we wanted for our visit.

The cottage is private, cosy, warm and comfortable and thoughtful touches such as a welcome hamper and a comprehensive guide to the local area with recommendations of how we could spend our time. We really enjoyed spending time in the cottage and would recommend Beals Yard to anyone who wants to use Alnwick as a base if exploring Northumberland.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful little cottage.

It was very warm, clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Everything needed was there and the owner kindly provided us with a welcome pack for us and our dog as well as other little extras. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into this rental.

Alison the owner was very helpful and the welcome package for us and our dog was very generous .

Very much appreciated after a long journey

Fantastic cottage in the centre of Alnwick.

Lovely warm and comfortable with everything we needed. The welcome basket was a real treat. We will definitely use it again

Beals Yard is a very lovely bit of secluded sanctuary and a wonderful peace of history.

My family are from Alnwick so I have come for holidays all my life. Staying at Beals yard was fantastic as it had family connections, so amazing to be able to stay here. I couldn't think of anywhere better to stay if travelling by yourself or a couple. Alison was amazing, a fantastic host and couldn't do enough and the welcome hamper was very much appreciated. Beals yard is a great location, central to everything in Alnwick and great base to explore beautiful Northumberland. It has everything you could need. Thank you Alison again!

Our second stay in 2023, again lovely location in Alnwick for all facilities cottage welcome pack for us and the dog was very good .

Cottage was cosy and owner couldn't be more helpful.

Fabulously quiet and extremely comfortable stay.

Amazing welcome pack for ourselves and one for our dog! Alison is a great host and very helpful too. Situated in a great spot in centre of Alnwick and easy access to the rest of Northumberland. Only thing that could be improved on are the directions for the free parking, which is literally tucked away around the corner but the lovely friendly people of Alnwick pointed us in the right direction. Would definitely stay at Beals Yard again

A hidden gem.

A beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings hidden away in the centre of Alnwick. The owner was very welcoming and gave us lots of useful information to get the most of our stay. The cottage was very clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and felt like a real home. Fabulous area with lots to see and do. Lots of dog friendly places to eat and visit. Ideal for a couple and a dog. There were so many good places to eat and takeaways on the doorstep that we did not feel the need to cook. One of the best cottages we have stayed in. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The cottage was lovely, clean and in a quiet location.

The welcome pack both for us and the dog was excellent. We would certainly like to return.

Excellent location - lovely accommodation

This beautiful cottage is perfectly placed for exporing all Alnwick has to offer.

Short walk to the castle, gardens and fabulous Barters Books. The cottage itself is lovely, clean, well equipped, stylish and extremely comfortable, a real find. A thoughtful welcoming hamper on arrival was much appreciated (especially the Prosecco), thank you Alison (cottage owner). We will definitely be booking again in the near future

Lovely ,comfortable property perfect for the 2 of us plus our dog.

Centrally located so very convenient . Was slightly concerned about the parking arrangements but that didn’t prove to be a problem. Alison was a lovely generous host. We hope to return sometime.

The property hit all the right spots.

It was positioned perfectly in the centre of town, but the courtyard aspect gave you the privacy we loved. Add the lovely touches within the property & Alisons warm welcome we will definitely be back.

I left Alison feedback

Excellent cottage in a perfect location.

Comfortable with good tv,fridge and cooker. Lovely welcome hamper.

A beautiful clean and comfortable cottage ideal for a couple and a pooch.

The kitchen is only small giving you the ideal excuse to try all of the wonderful pubs, restaurants and takeaways but you can cook meals if you wish. The cottage is a little hidden treasure slap bang in the middle of the main road of Alnwick yet so peaceful. We enjoyed our stay so much we are looking to book again next year.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beal’s Yard.

Alison was very welcoming and helpful. Scones/milk and Prosecco were very gratefully received. Our spaniel had treats too! Comfortable and peaceful. Highly recommend

just lovely as is the owner.

would recommend to friends.

We had a lovely stay last week in Beals Yard cottage.

The accommodation was in a central location with easy access to shops , restaurants and bars. Alison the owner was very informative and provided plenty of useful information of places to visit in the surrounding areas. Will definitely be going back!!!

Lovely week spent at Beals Yard.

Good location for getting to coastal areas. Plenty of local places to eat and drink without having to drive . Owner was very welcoming and left a much appreciated welcome pack which included Presseco and a local beer. Would book again if we came back to the area.

Beals Yard is ideally placed and a really comfortable accommodation for exploring the places of interest in Alnwick and the Northumbrian coast.

As a car owner I fell into a routine of parking outside the property for a maximum of two hours before 6pm when arriving back from a day out and then driving to a 24 hour free carpark before 8am the following morning. The welcome provided by Alison was really good and the few gifts in the kitchen appreciated. I strongly recommend this property.

Very clean and comfortable.

Location good. Host very helpful with info. Small improvements would help: bathroom door squeaky and clearer info on parking disc. Very good value for money.

Lovely cottage, ideally situated for shops and restaurants.

Alison left a really great welcome hamper, it made the star of the holiday more memorable. Great place to visit all the local castles and beaches

We enjoyed our stay in Beals Yard, from the picture we didn’t expect it to be so close to the main street but it was very quiet and convenient.

Lovely cosy cottage, the welcome pack from the owner was a very nice touch. Above the usual holiday home standard.

A thoroughly enjoyable week in an extremely well positioned and very comfortable cottage.

A couple of tiny improvements which could be easily accomplished ….. The cups, though attractive, are awkward to hold and to carry downstairs, particularly without a tray. A couple of mugs would be useful. Perhaps a foldable washing-up drainer would also be advantageous. These are minor points which in no way detracted from our overall enjoyment and satisfaction with Alison's cottage.

Visiting Alnwick and staying in Alison’s flat has been a pleasure this week , I would defiantly recommend staying there , Alison has thought of everything you may need and leaves some lovely treats for you on arrival .

I would love to stay there again and to continue our travels around Northumberland .

An unusual, charming cottage which was very well appointed, clean and comfortable.

It’s central location was very convenient and Alison, the owner, couldn’t have been more welcoming and attentive. When next we decide to spend some time in beautiful Northumberland we will definitely be trying to book Beal’s Yard.

Alison made us feel very welcome.

The complimentary basket was lovely on arrival. The cottage is so well situated right in the centre of town. Would definitely book again

A lovely property - very comfortable and really convenient for exploring Alnwick and the beautiful coastline.

This was a lovely little holiday property – very well appointed and with a lot of attention to detail.

We particularly liked the fact that the rooms were spacious, and we very much appreciated the generous welcome basket. In the evenings, it was good to have a much larger than average TV to watch, complete with Netflix. We have been to Alnwick on a number of occasions, but Beals Yard is by far the best cottage we have stayed in.

This was a lovely place to stay for a break in Northumbria.

The facilities were excellent, with nothing forgotten. The bed was comfortable, the living room was cozy and the welcome pack very generous. Alison was a great host with lots of good ideas about things to do. We will definitely be back! Thank you

It was one of the loveliest cottage we have stayed in.

Eveything thing you needed was they its very clean and very comfortable. Would highly recommend

Perfect location and lovely cottage.

We couldn't have asked for more. Alison was very welcoming and helpful.

Great place to stay in a lovely centre.

We enjoyed staying at Beals Yard very much and the property was clean and welcoming.

A slight problem for me in that the bed was a little too soft for my bad back. Alnwick is a good base for getting to very interesting places within a short drive. We visited Bamburgh, Cragside, Holy Island and of course Alnwick castle and gardens. For anyone visiting in the next few weeks, be aware that the area is very busy, especially with regards to eating. We tried 8 venues one evening all of which were fully booked. So my advice is to book early in your stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Alison is an excellent host and provided a very generous ‘starter pack’
