“The flat was a great location in Alnwick and comfortable.”
The main issue was it felt damp the whole time.
It doesn’t get any direct sunshine, the small lobby at the front door smelt badly of damp, and the general feeling was chilly. We had the heating on during the whole stay.
The bathroom floor is sinking by the loo, the towel rail only heats half way up,

Hi Amanda - I'm pleased that you found the property was well located and comfortable. In relation to the comments you make about it feeling 'damp'
I can absolutely assure you that it is not. We have never had anyone mention this before in the weeks before your stay or indeed at any time, even during some pretty ferocious winters. in fact guests in winter months often report how quickly the property heats up and how comfortable and cosy it is..Maybe it felt that way to you because it's such an old property, in fact it's one of the oldest in Alnwick. This means that the property does have its quirks, thick walls and some exposed stonework in the small lobby area.
Direct sunshine is also difficult because the castle walls are directly opposite the property. Thanks for your feedback regarding the towel rail.. The one tile you refer to in the bathroom is loose, it's a recent issue but the floor certainly is not sinking. It's loose because it's in an area that people stand on often and it needs re-fixing to the boards. It's just unfortunate that we can't do this at the moment due to it being high season and there being no availability. As soon as we can though, this will be re-fixed properly to the boards.
