Perfect for the 2 of us as a base.

Such a cute cottage. We have been to Alnwick a few times before and always stayed in the town. When we arrived at Nenes Nest we had no idea where we were in relation to the town and castle and panicked a little however once we realised we were around 10 mins brisk walk to town it was fine. We are fit 60 year olds and found Nenes perfect for us but it could be a challenge if less able bodied due to no allocated parking(ample on street parking though). Steps down to cottage and the distance from town. All inside cottage stunning. Bedroom so comfy. Always hot water for showers. Kitchen facilities amazing. Great sitting out patio area. We wouldnt search for anywhere else on a return to Alnwick.

Very clean and comfortable, nicely furnished throughout with a lovely comfy bed.

Easy walking distance from the town centre, the castle and gardens. I had a great holiday, thank you.

Well appointed and everything seems pretty new.

Well equipped kitchen. The bed is very comfortable. Good size chest of drawers and a decent amount of hanging space in the bedroom. One observation regarding the bathroom - there's nowhere to hang clothes or a bathrobe or dressing gown. A hook on the back of the door wouldn't go amiss. In the kitchen area, there is little space to store food, just a small area of counter top but no cupboard space. A couple of minor matters, otherwise very good but for the suitability of the accommodation to our age group. We are in our seventies and, unfortunately, have to conclude that this place is not for us. The lovely wooden stairs are steep and the bathroom and toilet are on the upper floor. Positive side of that, you don't have to negotiate the stairs coming down in the middle of the night! The sofas are comfortable but quite low and difficult to get into and out of. I don't want to sound negative - the cottage is really nice, just a bit awkward for a couple of oldies.
