  We really enjoyed our stay at 1 Roddam Rigg.

  The property was quite straightforward to find by following the directions given, and it was so wonderfully away from the hustle and bustle of towns and villages. We'd wanted a base to explore Northumberland but somewhere quiet to come back to to chill out and that's what we found here. We had days out at local English Heritage castles Dunstanburgh and Warkworth and enjoyed a day on Bamburgh beach which were all easy enough to drive to. We were very pleasantly surprised on arrival as in real life the cottage and the garden are even lovelier than the photos. A thoughtful welcome hamper was gratefully appreciated (thank you!) and Karen the owner was kind enough to bring us some board games round that we could play with our young son as well. The fresh bowl of water by the front steps was a very welcome touch for our thirsty dog after the car journey! The cottage itself was spotless, comfortable and well-equipped. Very handy to have a smart TV that we could use with our own logins to access apps such as Netflix while relaxing on an evening. It was too warm for us to light the fire although this was all ready with fuel provided (I imagine it would be lovely in the winter months!). The cottage with its thick walls stayed nice and cool inside although it got quite warm outside during our week there, so we slept really well. The beds are so comfy. We'd only been there a short while before our son (7) announced we should move in permanently! If only! Lots of wildlife around and we saw plenty of hares on the lanes around the cottage. The garden was beautiful and a really great size, our son and our dog really loved running around enjoying themselves while we relaxed at the garden table with a cold drink. Would visit again and would definitely recommend.

  We have just stayed at Upper Oakwood and other than the apartment being beautifully decorated and having great facilities I have nothing good to say.

  We’ve had little to no sleep with the amount of noise from the people walking around upstairs due to their floor boards being ridiculously noisy to the point they sound like they are going to come through the ceiling and the nightlife pounding on until the early hours. People walking past shrieking/fighting on the street behind on the pub crawl route and with the windows being single glazed they might as well have been inside. My five year old has been woken up at least 10+ times each night, including with the floorboard stomping and creaking above. All in all we wouldn’t recommend for any families at all. The apartment would be good for people wanting to go out and party in Alnwick however for anything else it just isn’t a relaxing break. It is however beautiful inside and has a lovely charm to it.

  A comfortable, well equipped cottage for a relaxing break.

  We spent Christmas tucked away in the lovely cottage. The owners trimmed the cottage and put up a tree for our stay. A large welcome package of essentials and treats were a welcome surprise. A large comfortable bed awaits after a long day spent exploring the area. The kitchen was well equipped to handle our Christmas dinner with all the trimmings too. A great location for exploring the coast and countryside around the North east of Northumbria, with the Scottish border towns not far away too. There was plenty of wildlife in the are too, Deer, Hares, Birds of prey amongst the many things we saw. If your looking for a rural cottage in a quiet location, but with access to the many attractions in the area, with beautiful dark skies to star gaze too, then I would highly recommend this location.

  This is a lovely period property well located in Alnwick, with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

  We were close to all the wonderful restaurants and bars, and really enjoyed our holiday. A lot of thought has gone into making the flat comfortable. It was clean with lovely towels and bed linen, and separate shower room and bathroom, which is handy. Nice and warm too! What I would say is that the flat can be a little noisy. There is another property above with floorboards, and this meant sound travelled early mornings. There is also a degree of street noise at night as town centre location, and during the day, street works started this week for the next few weeks, which meant an early start and a lot of drilling! Thankfully the peaceful Northumberland coast is only a short drive away. On balance a great property for a break in Alnwick.

  My partner and I stayed Friday–Monday, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  It is in a fantastic location and has natural light throughout. The flat was extremely clean and full of great character. The picture online does not do the living room justice, as it is very spacious. We had an incredible sleep, as the bed is very comfortable. The shower is powerful, and we had no issues with hot water. Additionally, the welcome pack on arrival was a very nice touch. Dirty Bottles and Mumbai are two great restaurants that we would recommend. Please bear in mind that this property is in a central location; therefore, naturally, there is some low-level outdoor noise at times; however, this was not an issue for us. Overall, we had a great stay and are looking forward to booking again.
