This is a lovely apartment in a great location for exploring the town and castle; we had such a good time there. It is perfect for being in the centre of things and getting a real feel for Alnwick, which is a lively and interesting place. A wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants are all just moments away; we particularly enjoyed Adam and Eve reRead morestaurant, which is open Wednesdays to Sundays - well worth a visit! You do hear the music from Harry's Bar down the road, but it stops promptly at bedtime and simply adds to the atmosphere; we did not find it disturbing at all. Sofas and beds were extremely comfortable and everything was very clean and well decorated. We were able to load and unload the car right outside and park it safely for up to 24 hours in one of several car parks nearby. We were also able to get to Lindisfarne easily from Alnwick, which was another highlight of the trip. Overall, this is an ideal apartment for a town-based holiday with excellent access to the countryside too! Hide

This apartment was clean and bright and had nice decor, particularly in the main room. The kitchen could be better equipped. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The location was rather off-putting and the streets on each side were noisy from early morning. The pub next door and the pub along the street were noisy at different times. The sRead morehared entrance hall and stairs were dark and narrow. It was not clear that there was a parking disc in the property. The instruction was to park on the cobbles, but there are restrictions on doing this. The property is not worth the price charged, but may be acceptable at a lower price as an urban apartment in a noisy location. Hide

This is well placed for visiting places in Northumberland. It is comfortable and full of charm. It is near to supermarkets and can recommend Carlos for its fish and chips. The weekend is slightly noisy at pub closing time but it is short lasting . The rest of the time it is really quiet. We loved staying here.

A very central apartment which unfortunately lead to be noisy in the evenings at the weekends. Music could be heard from Flowers bar until they closed.
