    “The cottage was lovely and ideal for 2 people.”

    The living room was spacious. The kitchen was galley style and had everything you could want. We struggled a bit with the gas ovens but managed it after some trial and error. Bed was very comfortable. Location in Alnwick was ideal. Not having a dedicated parking space could be an issue but we managed by moving the car between several long term parking sites.

    The living room was spacious. The kitchen was galley style and had everything you could want. We struggled a bit with the gas ovens but managed it after some trial and error. Bed was very comfortable. Location in Alnwick was ideal. Not having a dedicated parking space could be an issue but we managed by moving the car between several long term parking sites. Alnwick is a delightful town, with several good restaurants. It is an excellent base for exploring the nearby coast and countryside. Our main issue was the noise levels. The cottage was on more of a main road than we had thought and the traffic first thing in the morning was quite heavy. We are not used to that level of traffic. Also, on our first night there was a lot of noise till early in the morning from rge nearby pub, but then England was playing. The rest of the week the evenings were fine.

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.
