Overview
Property code: OC-COQ61

Enjoy a taste of Northumbrian town life at this handsome stone cottage in the heart of Alnwick. Sleeping five guests in three bedrooms, this dog-friendly property is ideal for couples, families and small groups keen to mix town comforts with days out on the Northumberland coast. Spacious living areas, a pretty courtyard and a private sauna add to its appeal.

This two-storey property has been sympathetically restored, blending period features like sash windows, wooden floors and a stone fireplace, with modern comforts. Step straight into a light and airy kitchen/diner with wooden floors, light-coloured cabinets and a farmhouse-style dining table, ideal for relaxed and sociable mealtimes. Next door, the lounge invites relaxation at the end of each day, with plush seating, cosy rugs and throws, a stone fireplace housing a wood burner and a Smart TV. When it’s time to rest your head, go upstairs to find three comfortable bedrooms: a king-size bedroom, a versatile super-king-size that can be converted to a twin, and a single. They share use of a stunning family bathroom with exposed stonewalls and a striking copper bathtub, perfect for a soak after adventurous days. A south-facing courtyard offers bistro seating for a morning cuppa or evening drink, and across the patio, there’s a private sauna cabin along with a shower and WC that can be booked for an additional charge. Free, on-street parking is subject to availability.

Head out to explore Alnwick on foot, with the cobbled marketplace, Alnwick Castle, Alnwick Gardens and the overflowing bookshelves of Barter Books all within 0.5 miles. Beach lovers have plenty of options, including the sweeping sands of Alnmouth (5 miles), while keen walkers can admire the coastline from the Northumberland Coast Path. If you love observing nature, hop on a boat from Amble Harbour (9.5 miles) to see the puffins of Coquet Island or go to Seahouses Harbour (15 miles) to catch a boat to the Farne Islands.

Great property, liked it so much we have booked another stay. very well equipped should you wish to cook. Best bath I have ever had in a holiday home. Close to shops and restaurants. Parking was not an issue,there was plenty of space in surrounding streets.

We had a good stay at Orchard Cottage. We are familiar with Alnwick having stayed in a variety of other properties in the town over the last 10-15y. We booked late this time and it was a sensible price for the location and the summer, but there was not that much else available TBH. We were mum and dad and 2x teenagers. The internet was fine for whaRead moret we needed and the large TV and soundbar was great for evenings. The kitchen floor and table was spacious and had good equipment, we cooked a few nights to save on costs. The second downstairs toilet was a bit peculiar being through a small courtyard and it shared a wooden building with a sauna (which we didn't use). The courtyard wasn't much use since we had relatively cool weather. There was only one toilet upstairs so for a family of four this was the compromise. The beds were all comfy and the bathroom was fine upstairs. the main bedroom was very spacious. I found the fact that the front door opened almost directly onto the road a bit of a negative. And once or twice an hour, during daylight hours, a bus or two came past rattling the house. Since it was harvest time, this was accompanied by tractors thundering past occasionally. It didn't go on through the night but I did rather wish it was a slightly quieter location or on one of the side streets and the courtyard was a bit more inviting. If you are out and about all day i doubt this would be any concern for you. Clearly you can walk into Alnwick in about 2-3 minutes and get access to all sorts of nice restaurants and a morrisons so that convenience was a trade off. Hide

One of the best self catering places we have stayed in. Ideally placed for exploring the area and from booking to leaving the customer service was excellent. We would definitely recommend Pickwick House and would book again if we return to Northumberland.
