Dog Friendly Villas In Alnmouth

  The cottage was clean and tidy but was surprised the kitchen was so small.

  I was disappointed with the welcome pack, obviously bought from some supplier to hospitality - little sealed packs of coffee, tea, milk and biscuits as found in hotel bedrooms. My usual experience is cottages is lovely baskets of wine, crisps biscuits etc - something that looks like a bit of thought has been put into it. The same with the box of cleaning products - I didn’t know it was possible to get such a tiny bottle of washing up liquid ( probably contained a tablespoon of liquid). When you pay a lot of money for a cottage it is nice to have some effort put into the nice little extras that are the norm in most cottages. No visitors book in the cottage, which is always useful for recommendations on where to eat etc. Alnmouth itself was lovely- beautiful beach and nice dog friendly local eatery’s. However I wouldn’t consider returning to this cottage as I felt it was overpriced for what was actually provided.

  This is our 2nd stay at Alnbank and we l9ved it just as much this time as the 1st.

  The closeness to the beach fir our aging Labrador was perfect he found a new spring in his step which was fabulous to see. The house its self is spacious, warm and cosy and has everything you need you make you comfortable. As with other reviews and from staying at the property previously, I really think it's time to purchase a new oven, although there are instructions I found them difficult to translate to the actual dials on the oven. The 1st night after a few changes on the dials we got the oven working fine, 2nd night I just couldn't get the right combination and it ran cold for a long time until I twiddle a bit more. That is my only complaint once again we had a great stay and will visit again in the not too distant future. Mrs A. Macdonald

  Despite the lesser spotted sun, we have all enjoyed a family holiday in this lovely villa with such stunning views. Our 18-month old and 4 year old have loved watching the birds, boats, horses and train-spotting as well as treasure hunting and paddling at the beach. We’ve had a great time visiting Warkworth Castle, Alnwick Gardens (brilliant fun in the water features!), Lilidorei, Northumberland Zoo and White House Farm in Morpeth, with a fabulous potting barn, bird show, handling sessions, soft play and so much more. Our favourite meal was at The Whittling House in Alnmouth. Thank you for such a well presented and equipped villa with comfortable beds and immaculately clean. We really hope to return.

  We had a lovely week staying in Sandpiper.

  Just a few glitches. Parking … more detailed info on where to park or a parking permit would have been useful. I’d been to Alnmouth before so had a fair idea where to park. If one was a stranger it would have been more difficult at the end of a long drive. The cottage was clean and fresh, all but the oven which would benefit from some attention. Beds were super comfy. Although the cleaner was late coming we were reimbursed for needing o go out for a meal and there was a nice complimentary bag of goodies. Contact with the agency was easy and accessible. .

  We had a really pleasant stay although finding on-street parking was difficult at times, always a problem in Alnmouth.

  Although the kitchen is small, the rest of the cottage is spacious and the upstairs rooms are lovely and light. Minor criticisms: we’d have appreciated some small glass tumblers, and a freezer compartment in the fridge would be useful (even if only big enough for ice cubes). Some of the pans were not very clean, and the living room was a bit grubby “round the edges”. The ceiling light in the living room was very dim so a tall lamp near the table would be great. Lots of things we liked: the quirky decorative objects, the lovely bathroom and the comfy bed.
