Nice cottage clean and comfortable but could benefit from a refurbishment. Would also benefit from a separate toilet downstairs.

The property was great. Great location, lovely living room, bathroom and bedrooms. We really enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen was a little bit tired but considering the price for a weeks stay in July we were very happy overall

The fact that the property was up for sale told its own story, tired and in need of updating.

Good location and generally comfortable. It needs some improvements which should be easily rectified. Subject to those changes I would recommend the property to a friend.

We adore Lobster Cottage!! Its beautiful, the cottage is spotlessly clean. The decor is beautiful. My personal favourite was the master bedroom. Sat on one of the comfiest beds I have ever slept on, watching the sun shine through the fantastic sash window was heaven. The cottage is ideally situated for pottering around Alnwick and provides a perfecRead moret base for discovering Northumberland. We would stay here again!!! Thank you! Hide

Lovely, comfortable house in a quiet street minutes from Alnwick Castle and the town centre. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The owner was very pleasant and helpful. Can't fault it at all. I will definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Northumberland.
