Fourth visit, which should be enough to recommend it.
Fourth visit, which should be enough to recommend it. Great for 2 people, but very tight for 4. Got what most people need, for a holiday home. The facilities are good but the TV needs an upgrade as the sound is poor. Parking is on street, but never had trouble finding a spot outside. This time, we felt the standard of cleaning wasn't as high as previously, but was still good. I think the property will get a redecoration soon, especially the upstairs ceilings
Very nice property. Has obviously been well maintained. Positioned about 5 minutes away from Barter Books. Great location for local amenities and for our first exploration of Northumberland in general. Highly recommended.

A perfect base for exploring Alnwick and this part of Northumberland. We had everything we needed and we loved sitting in the little court yard and the sun room. A very happy house!

This is a delightful cottage.
This is a delightful cottage. It really feels like home from home with many many little touches that create this feeling. It is extremely well equipped and you could easily cook for a dinner party (if you wanted to, of course!). It's location is most convenient for all town amenities and attractions without needing the car every time. There is also much to see and do in the area and we would highly recommend coastal walks, Cragside and trips to the Farne Islands.
