Absolute wonderful home to stay at. Everything is so comfortable and the beds are just great to sleep in for a good night sleep before walking. Very close to the town to go out for meals only 10 minute drive to the beach. We have stirred here twice now and have booked again for October.

My husband and I (plus two young kids and a dog) stayed for a week at Sunflower House in Alnwick, and we really loved it. The house is lovely top to bottom, and so comfortable, with pretty much every mod con you could want.

We actually walkeRead mored to Alnwick Castle, and the fantastic Lilidorei in about 10 minutes, which was much easier than using our car. Barter books was only a 5 minutes walk away, as was a great local park for the kids, and our dog. Loads of amazing beaches were a short drive away. We found Alnwick to be an excellent base to explore Northumberland. We loved the fantastic kitchen, as well as chilling out in the sitting room in front of the large TV, and wood fired stove. Beds really comfy, nice shower, loads of plates, cutlery glasses etc. All very well thought out. We'll be back! Hide
