Explore Alnwick from the doorstep of this contemporary, pet-friendly property. Boasting a stylish open-plan social space, two elegant en-suite bedrooms and a gorgeous garden, it has a wood burner and hot tub for all-weather appeal.

Driveway parking makes light work of unloading luggage – once inside, the open-plan living space has underfloor heating for comfort in any weather, while windows and French doors give a lovely view of the garden beyond. Stretch out on a choice of comfortable seating arranged before the Smart TV at one end; a modern wood burner adds ambience as you wind down. Behind, the kitchen houses all the must-haves of home, including a Nespresso coffee machine and dual air fryer; dine in style at the circular suite that’s close by. A cloakroom ensures convenience for all, while upstairs, the two bedrooms each have an en-suite shower room and Smart TV. Choose between a super-king-size zip-and-link – which can be made up as a twin on request – and a king-size room. Back at ground level, the French doors lead effortlessly into the garden where outdoor furniture sits on a decked area, there’s a BBQ for al fresco dining, and a luxury hot tub is positioned on the patio with a lawned area beyond. Bask in the bubbles as the night sky fills with stars and make memories to treasure.

Welcoming shops, boutiques, bars, and eateries serve up an authentic taste of Alnwick life. Visit the town’s Harry Potter-connected castle, then continue the fairy-tale experience with a walk around The Alnwick Garden before immersing yourself in the literary world at the quirky Barter Books store. 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 visit the 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.

Just returned from a weeks stay at this property as a couple with a small dog. We were welcomed with a lovely card and a delicious welcome pack of freshly made scones, sourdough bread, butter, jam & milk, plus some essentials for our dog. The property was very modern, comfortable and finished to a very high standard.

Its probably the most well equipped holiday home weve ever stayed in. The bed was super comfy and the quality of bed linen, towels and toiletries were also of high standard. The property is an annex of the main owners property and has a small, well presented garden which is fully enclosed for children or dogs. The owner is very friendly and on hand should you need anything but does not impose on your stay. The property is well situated for visiting the town centre of Alnwick, which has many shops/pubs/restaurants and big supermarkets should you need them. Its only a 7min drive to the beautiful beach of Alnmouth and only a 15-30min drive to other lovely coastal spots such as Embleton bay, seahouses, Bamburgh etc. Hide

The hosue was clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped, with the added bonus of the hot tub to relax in after a long day exploring Northumberland.

We stayed at Estelle's Rest for 7 nights and we can not fault the accommodation or it's location. The property has been thoroughly planned to meet the needs of everyone who stays here. The kitchen is superb and every utensil, crockery and all white goods are beyond expectation. Bedrooms and bathrooms are exceptional and comfortable with beautiful lRead moreinen's and restful pillows. Estelle is very knowledgeable, supportive, friendly and available if you should need anything, without being intrusive. We did not manage to use the hot tub but it is well maintained and easily accessible. You are able to walk into Alnwick and also park at Alnmouth Station for train services. There are parking discs available for town parking and easy parking at the cottage too. The welcome gift of delicious food was very helpful and kind. We hope to return one day and we wish everyone who stays at Estelle's Rest a wonderful and relaxing stay. Hide
