Experience both the market town of Alnwick and wider Northumberland from this contemporary apartment set within a fascinating historic brewery building. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat is set on the second floor and includes a balcony where you can relax with a glass of fizz and survey your surroundings.

Wander inside and make your way up to the second floor via the lift or stairs. Enter your own private quarters to hang your jackets and leave your footwear in the hall. Head on through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to make yourselves at home. Set up a board game at the table by the balcony doors or choose a comfortable seat, then flick through the channels on the Smart TV. Discover you have everything you need to help you cater for yourselves in the modern kitchen area on those occasions you choose not to dine out in one of Alnwick’s array of eateries. Decide whether to dine inside or out on the balcony, depending on the weather. When you are ready to rest your head on your pillow, make your way through to either the inviting king-size bedroom or the double. The king-size has doors to the balcony so you can step out into the warm air on summer mornings. The family bathroom encompasses both a bath and a shower. Share a bottle of wine out on the balcony on balmy evenings. The beautiful Alnwick Garden, with its green, open space, is less than 0.5 miles away. There is private parking here for one car.
