The Old Post Office served us very well. Three generations congregated from Gloucestershire, Leicestershire & Ireland for family holiday plus a Labrador. What a lovely spacious house with everything we could think of. The boot room was great for our February stay as lots of boots, coats & wellies. Plenty of room to spread out but also gather aroundRead more the dining table. Comfy beds, everyone slept really well. Right in the centre of Alnmouth, easy access to shop, beach, pubs etc. Hide
