Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, this quirky period property is set in the heart of Alnwick village, within walking distance of Alnwick Castle and Gardens. It’s the ideal destination for history buffs, shoppers, and guests who love to mark special occasions in beautiful country settings. Children and canine companions can also join in the fun, five dogs are welcome to stay. You’ll find shops, pubs and eateries in the village, and it’s a short drive to Alnmouth Beach (5 miles). Park in the free public car park nearby (2 minutes’ walk). This cottage is set near the Northumberland Coast AONB, and to the west, you’ll find the hillside market town of Rothbury (12 miles), known as the capital of Coquetdale, and the Northumberland National Park (17.5 miles).

Step inside this charming townhouse with five storeys of bright and airy interiors with sunny hues and a retro feel. Family mealtimes are a breeze with the well-equipped kitchen and dining area on the ground floor where guests can also enjoy morning coffees at the breakfast bar before setting out for the day. Stairs lead to the lower ground floor where there’s a spacious TV snug with a feature fireplace and large squishy sofas for film nights, or you might opt for reading time in the snug’s alcove window seat. You’ll also find a convenient shower room here, and a boot room area, plus a flight of steps leading to the shared courtyard garden. When night falls, you’ll find four cosy bedrooms upstairs, two on the first floor, one on the second floor by a family bathroom, and (up cottage-style stairs) a fourth bedroom in the eaves with characterful timber vaults and a seating area. Outside, you’ll find the shared courtyard garden with two levels, seating and festoon lighting adding a party ambience to BBQ summer feasts.
