Stay at this superb Alnmouth cottage to enjoy homely surroundings and period features with your group of eight loved ones. This delightful property enjoys an idyllic setting along the Aln Estuary, offering splendid balcony views and easy access to scenic walks and charming coastal spots.

Enter your private quarters of the Prudhoe Villas, and follow the impressive staircase to the first floor, which leads to a vast lounge with waterside vistas and an open fire. There’s plenty of room to congregate and watch the Smart TV together, while the modern kitchen/diner is kitted out to make cooking a stress-free affair. Perch at the breakfast bar with a freshly percolated coffee, or settle in around the dining table for board games that stretch late into the night. The balcony brings the outdoors in and, with a delightful table and chairs, offers a private space to sit and listen to the trickles of water flowing beside you. If you can tear yourself away, then four sumptuous bedrooms await, including a super-king-size bedroom with a Smart TV, Xbox and an en-suite shower room. Completing this wonderful home is the impressive bathroom, where you can soak off the day's adventures in the large, unique bathtub.

Each morning, venture a few minutes to the deli to pick up freshly baked pastries or potter around the gallery and boutique gift shops for something special for a loved one. Alnmouth’s picturesque streets offer pubs and restaurants too, in case you don't feel like cooking. Take advantage of your parking spot in Alnmouth (a rarity in the area!) to drive 3 miles to the town of Alnwick for a wander around its famous gardens and Harry Potter filming locations. The harbour village of Amble is 6.5 miles away, while the historic castle of Warkworth is just 4 miles south.

The cottage is in a great location. We experienced issues that the owner was slow and defensive in dealing with and holiday cottages were passive. We spent four days without a working oven until a small counter based over was installed in an already small kitchen. The cleanliness of carpets / dusting was not consistent with a property rated Read morein the way it is. Hide

Lovely location with fantastic views. Property very spacious and comfortable. The stairs could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. Mike the property manager was very helpful with an electrical issue and this didnt spoil our holiday.

This is a beautiful dog-friendly property in a stunning location! The property has been really thoughtfully refurbished and kitted out with some lovely touches, including some really nice artwork and furnishings.

This was one of the best properties we have stayed in. The villa was in an excellent location with stunning views. The villa was immaculate and everything you could need for a stay was provided. A lovely touch was the welcome basket too. Will definitely be back for another stay.

Just returned from a wonderful stay for my mothers 70th birthday. The house was perfect. Plenty of space for us all, the walks on our doorstep all weekend were perfect. The scenery changed every time we stepped out of the door. Simply stunning. Thank you.

We had a long weekend in Sandy Shores. Wonderful location, extremely comfortable house. Loved the balcony as we had amazing weather so sat there in the evenings watching the sun. There are many walks from this house that are worth doing.

This is a fabulous place to stay. It's very comfortable and has lovely views over the estuary. It's also very quiet at night so you can sleep well. Alnmouth itself is an attractive town with a surprising number of good places to eat and drink and lots of good walk along the coast in both directions.

Probably one of the best locations and views in Alnmouth. Very comfortable and well equipped house . Very convenient for shop and pub in Alnmouth and beach and local walks. There are a lot of stairs so not ideal for people with limited mobility. The beautiful balcony more than makes up for lack of outside space.

This property is situated in a great location. The rooms are located up a couple of flights of stairs, so the views of the estuary are amazing. The property is well appointed, nicely decorated and has lots of space to relax. The beds were comfy and each bedroom a decent size. The house was spotlessly clean too. Nice bathrooms, complete with toiletrRead moreies. Everything that you could need in a kitchen. A variety of books (both for adults and children) and lots of toys for the children. The village centre is a short walk away, the beach too. There is parking for 2 cars, it is tight but doable. Our third car was parked on the road near the house. We all enjoyed a really nice stay here. Hide
