The property

St Aidans is a charming retreat nestled in the heart of Alnwick, Northumberland, where families, couples, and their four-legged companions are welcomed with open arms.

This inviting home offers not only off-road parking and easy access to the town’s delightful shops and eateries but also a range of indulgent features, like a steamy hot tub, perfect for those looking to unwind in style.

Step inside, and you'll find the hub of the home, the welcoming kitchen/diner, where laughter and conversations flow as effortlessly as the meals you’ll create.

Fully equipped and designed for convenience, this space is perfect for cooking up hearty family feasts or a romantic dinner for two.

And when it comes to keeping your furry friends pampered, the utility room’s doggy shower is a thoughtful touch, offering a space to clean muddy paws after a day of exploring, with the added bonus of a heated towel rail to dry off in comfort.

The living/dining room is the ultimate retreat, with its plush sofas, woodburning stove, and a large Smart TV, perfect for settling in on cooler nights.

The large dining table seats 10, making it an ideal spot for gathering with loved ones and creating lasting memories over shared meals.

For a quieter moment, the airy conservatory provides the perfect space to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening tipple, offering additional dining space and a peaceful view of the garden.

Outside, the enclosed garden is your private oasis.

Sink into the bubbling hot tub with a glass of something special as you let your cares drift away, or enjoy alfresco dining on the patio, surrounded by the serenity of this peaceful setting.

With five beautifully presented bedrooms, there’s no shortage of space or comfort here.

The property is perfectly suited to golfers, particularly as all four super-king-size rooms can be converted to twin beds upon request.

Each room boasts their own TVs, and three enjoy the added luxury of en-suite shower facilities while another comes equipped with en-suite toilet facilities.

The inviting twin room is perfect for guests of all ages, while the sleek family bathroom ensures everyone has ample space to prepare for the day's adventures.

St Aidans also offers a perfect base for exploring Alnwick’s many treasures aside from the many restaurants, pubs and shops Alnwick has on offer.

A short stroll will lead you to the historic Alnwick Castle, famed for its appearance in the Harry Potter films, and the stunning Alnwick Garden with its unique water features and enchanting Lilidorei play village.

Be sure to capture the stunning views from the Grade I listed Lions Bridge, a scenic spot where the castle reflects beautifully in the River Alnwick or visit the many beautiful sandy Northumberland beaches and historic castles a short drive away.

Whether it’s indulgence in the hot tub, the luxurious rooms, or simply the tranquil surroundings, St. Aidans promises an unforgettable getaway where relaxation meets adventure.

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, 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; for even more excitement, the enchanted world of Lilidorei is also available at Alnwick Gardens, offering seasonal events and plenty of fun for little ones of your group. 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.
