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.

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.

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.

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.
