Located within the town’s conservation area, this elegant Georgian home combines period charm with every modern must-have. Pet-friendly, it features two king-size bedrooms plus a full-of-light lounge with a wood burner. Unwind in the courtyard garden or wander into town – private parking means you can explore at leisure.

Just 100 metres from a cosy pub and within half a mile of Alnwick’s shops, tearooms and restaurants, this Grade II-listed cottage promises an authentic taste of local life. Step through the front door, and high ceilings and an elegant staircase confirm the heritage of this tastefully renovated home-from-home. To one side of the hall, the lounge is bright and welcoming, with dual-aspect sash windows and a choice of sofas arranged before the Smart TV and wood burner. Across the hall, the kitchen/diner has sleek units, a central island with bar-style seating and a suite where four can gather for good food and lively conversation. French doors open onto the courtyard garden. Head upstairs to find two generously sized rooms, one with its own TV and each with a king-size bed and Temple Spa toiletries. A few steps further up, a beautiful family bathroom serves both, and for ultra convenience, there’s a separate WC off the landing. Your living space extends into the courtyard garden, which is fully enclosed and accessed via the kitchen – take a seat on the bench and enjoy your favourite tipple.

Alnwick is famous for its Harry Potter-connected castle; further the fairytale experience with a walk around The Alnwick Garden – an extraordinary, contemporary creation – then immerse yourself in the literary world while toy trains chug above at the quirky Barter Books. Alnmouth (4.5 miles) has a tranquil beach and sand dunes offering a wealth of wildlife-watching opportunities, while at Craster (7 miles), you can shop for seaside-inspired arts and crafts, visit the kipper smokehouse or simply watch fishing boats in the harbour. It’s a 1.5-mile walk along the coastal path from here to iconic Dunstanburgh Castle.

The cottage was lovely. it is in a convenient location to walk into town and to all the attractions. There is only one allocated parking space and the lane is used for parking by people working in the area so we had to juggle the 2 cars when we went out to ensure we had somewhere to park on returning. The outside space off the kitchen is tiny so noRead moret suitable for sitting out on a summers evening. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the living space is great with 2 sink in sofas. We had a really nice holiday. Hide

Earl's cottage is superbly located and beautifully appointed. The owners have thought of everything to make guests welcome and the holiday a success.

When we arrived the House was cold and the heating control was set for 9C. We turned it up and went to light the fire to find there were only 4 small logs which would last around an hour. When we came to use the Dishwasher the next day there were only 3 tablets.

We highly recommend Earls cottage. We felt comfortable and looked after throughout. Everything about the cottage is perfect. It has a central location in Alnwick, located on a lovely quiet road. The online guidebook is very informative and helped us locate great places to eat and to visit. Our dog Aura loved her welcome basket as we did ours. X

We had a lovely week at Earl's Cottage Alnwick. We found Coquet Cottages helpful, pleasant and easy to deal with. The cottage was located within walking distance of Alnwick which was great as it enabled us to walk down to the town for a morning coffee, wander round the shops or restaurants in the evening without having to take the car. The cottage Read morewas clean, nicely furnished and had everything we needed. We ate out alot and found Alnwick and surrounding areas to be very dog friendly. We visited lots of Castles, Historic Houses and Places of Interest and went inside Bamburgh Castle and Cragside House. The beaches were just outstanding - and we had alot of fun with our dog on different beaches every day. We visited lots of local shops and 2 golf courses for food and golf. My husband thoroughly enjoyed playing the course at Alnmouth. The pride the local population has in their town and surrounding villages was very apparent - all the buildings were beautifully kept and everywhere was very clean. We still have plenty of places to visit and as we so enjoyed our stay, we plan to return. We wish we had known about Alnwick and surrounding areas years ago - our now grown up children would have loved all the area has to offer when they were small ! I would recommend Earl's Cottage - it is a lovely cottage with attentive owners - We were in regular touch with the cottage owner, mainly featuring photos of the adventures of our dog !! Hide
