We will definitely recommend Thornbrae Cottage to family and friendsit is lovely, cosy and comfortable also loved the hot tub! The location is excellent. Short walk into Alnwick, near to Alnwick Castle and the fabulous Gardens. Also the railway station Barter Books. Great pub at the top of the road, The Oak, serving good food. Supermarkets close byRead more, the closest one being Lidleoh and the little market, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays deserves a visit. We had a wonderful time Hide

Spacious and comfortable bungalow that would easily accommodate 4 adults . There is some traffic noise from the adjacent road but you feel it rather than hear it. The town centre is not too far to walk into and Alnwick makes a good base for visiting the area.

Excellent property, very high spec and very well appointed. You have everything you need. The hot tub was brilliant after a long day hiking. Alnwick is only a 15 minute walk away and is full of nice cafes and pubs with meals, try the Dirty Dog and Melvins cafe, make sure you book the pub though especially at week ends.
