    “DFC was warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean.”

    There were lovely touches like the tea tray laid for our arrival with pot, tea and biscuits and milk in the fridge. Toiletries and slippers greeted us in the bedroom. Everything you could need had been thought of and provided from cooking pots the right size for two people to hot water bottles and woollen throws.

    There were lovely touches like the tea tray laid for our arrival with pot, tea and biscuits and milk in the fridge. Toiletries and slippers greeted us in the bedroom. Everything you could need had been thought of and provided from cooking pots the right size for two people to hot water bottles and woollen throws. The apartment is well situated by the castle and within minutes of shops, cafes and pubs. I heard back speedily when I enquired about putting out the wheelie bin though not when I advised about our slightly early departure to avoid bad weather conditions going home. My only niggle, and it's minor, is that I felt there were one or two instructions too many. Though we followed them all to the letter!

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: This property is a Friday arrival only.
