Description

This beautifully presented property is surrounded by charming countryside, making it the perfect base for outdoor-loving families and groups of friends with the dogs in tow. Set in the market town of Alnwick, guests are just a short walk away from a wide range of independent shops, bars, and restaurants. The Alnwick Playhouse is a cultural hub with art exhibitions, a cinema, and a theatre, while the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens (0.5 miles) offer a memorable and historic day out. For a group picnic, head to Alnmouth Beach (4.5 miles) where you’ll find a wide expanse of golden sand, and a choice of quaint village shops and eateries. Discover Howick Hall Gardens and tearoom (6.5 miles) and walk the coastal path from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle (7.5 miles).  

This welcoming property provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Walk through the front door into the open-plan kitchen/diner, well equipped with all you need to cook up a memorable meal for the group. When it’s time to eat, gather at the nearby dining table to reflect on the day’s adventure over a delicious dish. To unwind, walk past the utility/boot room to the inviting lounge, where you can relax on the comfortable sofas with your favourite shows playing on the Smart TV, all whilst the flame-effect fire warms your toes. When day turns to night, head upstairs to find four wonderful bedrooms, starting with a king-size room with an additional corner sofa and Smart TV, as well as an en-suite bathroom with a roll top bath. The twin room beckons with its cosy beds and Smart TV, while a double room and a bunk bedroom complete the sleeping arrangements. Serving the non-en-suite bedrooms is a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside awaits a large and lawned, wrap-around garden with mature shrubs, offering plenty of privacy and space to relax. On warmer days, find the garden furniture and enjoy a morning cuppa in the sun, or gather at the charcoal BBQ in the evening for a memorable al fresco meal.

Reviews

An excellent house for three of us and a dog. Plenty of space and all amenities plentiful and generous. We loved the location nearly opposite Barter Books and very near Alnwick town. Great access for beaches and other sightseeing. The area as a whole so beautiful and interesting with many castles to visit. Just would have liked a garden area sealed off to let my dog out briefly, but there are a couple of convenient walks nearby for first thing in the morning etc. All furnishings very comfortable. Had a lovely stay.

Mrs C,

Had a fantastic week, the location is perfect.

Mr D,

Very nice property with great walking access to the town and Gardens via Fisher Lane. The only thing I would ask for is a wardrobe or clothes rail ( there is one in the drying room).

Mr C,

Great location for accessing the town centre and attractions by foot but also for reaching the A1 to travel further afield. Spacious, comfortable property and we would stay again in the future.

Mrs B,

The house provided us with what we needed: excellent location near family, plenty of space for teenagers to chill out, a kitchen with plenty of storage space, and having two fridges was particularly useful.

Mrs N,
