“Alwinton Lodge is a comfortable welcoming home from home.”
The kitchen especially is very well equipped. Cooking with a set of three saucepans, a large sauté pan and a full set of tools was a pleasure. Dogs are catered for with their own doggy box. We did not use this however, because our mini-Schnauzer, Archie, has his own holiday kit. He did enjoy the treats that were left though.
Northumberland is very dog friendly. Archie visited Cragside and Bamburgh Castle with us and enjoyed all their outdoor spaces.
The road adjoining Fram Park does not have a pavement, but there is a grass verge up to the pavement further up the road. Archie had full days out with us, so did not need very long early morning walks.
While is it is essential to have a car to get around, there is free parking in Alnwick. We enjoyed a bus ride on the X18 with Archie to Morpeth. This is an interesting town to visit with pleasant river walks through their park.
In Alnwick, the Information Centre is part of the Playhouse/Library complex. There are no signs outside and even the locals do not know where the I.C. is. All staff were very helpful and gave lots of useful and interesting information.
This was an extremely relaxing week, enjoying sunny autumn days in the natural beauty of Northumberland countryside. I would highly recommend this lodge if you like peace, tranquillity and dark starry skies.
We look forward to staying here again at a different time of year.
Thank you so much for your very positive feedback. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay and felt that Alwinton Lodge was like a home from home. This is our first season of owning Alwinton Lodge and we've tried very hard to achieve this for all our guests. We look forward to welcoming you all back again in the future.
