Property code: OC-80618

This traditional, pretty, two-bedroom stone cottage is located in the centre of Alnmouth village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just 0.5 miles from the beach, it boasts period features and is the perfect base for a couple or small family plus one dog looking to experience village life plus beach and coastal walks. This cottage is bursting with charm and character, and it offers a serene, calming atmosphere so you can really unwind between adventures along the Northumberland coast.

Exposed stone walls, wood-beamed ceilings, and comfortable decor make this a welcoming retreat. The ground-floor lounge is a cheerful spot with a window that floods the room with natural light. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with its plump sofas and armchair while a wood burner keeps things cosy on cooler nights. A compact dining table overlooks the lounge. For informal meals, step through to the galley kitchen to eat at the breakfast bar. If you’re not in the mood to cook, you’ll find plenty of restaurants and cafes just 400 metres from the door. When night falls, climb the staircase up to the first floor and choose between two double bedrooms. Both bedrooms feature calming, neutral tones while one has a pretty window seat where you can people-watch. In the morning, enjoy a coffee outside at the small patio table.

Alnmouth is a small village with a range of shops, restaurants, and a 9-hole golf course. Alnmouth Beach is situated behind the village (0.5 miles) and is a beautiful place for a dog walk. Alternatively, stroll along the Northumberland Coast Path, soak up the stunning scenery, and enjoy spotting the diverse range of wildlife. Other charming coastal villages nearby include Amble and Craster, while Dunstanburgh Castle and Howick Hall are lovely local attractions, all within 10 miles.

This cottage was sited in a lovely village and we did enjoy our stay. It would be interesting to know the origin of the building but we were comfortable and warm

This is a lovely cottage in probably the most dog-friendly place I've ever stayed. the location is great, the cottage is lovely, there are good pubs and restaurants in very close walking distance and having the sea so close by was an added bonus.

Had a pleasant week in this cottage, bedrooms were a bit small with limited access down side of beds, OK if you are reasonably agile , only minor niggle made up for location with easy walking access to beach and high street, parking for one car but access can be restricted when busy.

Lovely clean and well equipped property. It was conveniently located in the centre of Alnmouth. However the access could be difficult to manoeuvre a car in and out as it was very tight. The actual parking space was fine though. The outside area is very small and doesn't get any sun. Alnmouth is a lovely village by the sea and we had a great weRead moreek exploring the area. Hide

The cottage was wonderfully located in the village and the parking space provision was very welcome. It is a charming place to stay and has everything you need within in to really enjoy your stay. Kitchen facilities were great and the shower had good pressure. It's a small cottage but everything has been fitted to maximise the space you have. Our oRead morenly gripe were the beds, which I think has been raised previously. The bed in the main bedroom is incredibly soft and does not really allow for two adults as you end up sunk in the middle. The other bed is a sofa bed which is specified but again could do with an upgrade. In general a wonderful stay in a lovely village. Thanks. Hide

Lovely cottage but slightly disappointed with sitting area in communal access path but a minor issue. Access with car quite difficult so we used buses rather than trying to reverse round a very narrow dog leg access lane. Cottage was very clean and comfortable.

Cottage was clean, cosy and well equipped, if a bit tight for space in the bedrooms. Its well situated in the beautiful village of Alnmouth. The one downside is the vehicular access and parking - definitely not suitable for a large car.

We gave a score of 4 for comfort was the second bedroom would have been better with bunk beds. The shower was to big for the space. Apart from this every thing was perfect ?? Maggie
