House was lovely - as described. Very clean & well maintained. Excellent location. Parking on street outside was tight but we managed to park each day on return. Would recommend.

Lovely cottage! Four adults we spent three nights there.
Lovely cottage! Four adults we spent three nights there. It had everything we needed. There was a good feeling to this place. The sofas and beds were very comfortable. Very clean. We couldn't fault it. We would definitely recommend as we would go back and stay again ourselves. The only reason I gave the location a four and not a five was because the street sloped up to the house which my husband did struggle a bit with as he does have an health issue with his legs, but there is nothing the owner can do about that. There is so much to do around the area, Alnwick castle is just a short walk and very good. Holy Island 35 minutes drive.

A lovely place to stay and the small private courtyard is ideal for a cheeky BBQ.
A lovely place to stay and the small private courtyard is ideal for a cheeky BBQ. Well equipped and located just a few minutes troll from town centre, it's an ideal base for exploring beautiful Northumbria and its stunning coastline. Town was quiet during our stay and things were only just reopening post-lockdown, but that didn't spoil a lovely break.

This is our second stay at Rosehip Cottage.
This is our second stay at Rosehip Cottage. The lovely cottage is comfortable, warm & very well equipped.
A suggestion I would make is maybe a dark roller blind or darker curtains in the second bedroom to avoid early awakening in the light summer mornings.
We hope to stay again in the near future.
