The kitchen comes complete with an electric hob and oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a microwave. There is a useful utility room which houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. Also on the ground-floor in the converted garage is a ‘cool’ games room with its own TV, games console and a ping-pong table for hours of unadulterated fun. Upstairs are three bedrooms, one king-size with an en-suite shower room with WC, one single, and one double. The main bathroom is nearby containing with a shower over the bath and WC.

We really enjoyed our stay here, it's a very nicely decorated house with great facilities. It's very easy to walk into Alnwick and drive to various beaches up and down the coast. The house has a great amount of space and we were very comfortable.

Just returned from a lovely week in Alnwick. The property is located on a quiet estate with off street parking for 1 car. Short walk to the local town and supermarket. Alnwick gardens also very close. It has two good sized double bedrooms and a smaller box room, all well equipped. TVs not quite as smart as they could be and TV reception was not greRead moreat probably due to the weather. We relied on our own Roku box. Would happily visit again. Hide

A lovely house, well furnished and a lot of attention to detail throughout. About a 20 minute walk into town, but you need to be aware that this starts with quite a steep climb. We did discover a path that runs parallel to the estate, which also takes you our onto the main road and is much more gradual.
