Riverview in Alnmouth is a well-regarded holiday cottage, praised for its high specification and thoughtful touches by the owners. The seaside village location is appreciated, and the property is generally seen as comfortable and spacious. Some guests have encountered issues with cleanliness and maintenance, but the property's charm and location often compensate for these shortcomings.
Cleanliness has been a concern for several guests, with reports of the property not being cleaned to a satisfactory standard upon arrival, including dust, debris, and unpleasant odours. However, some guests found the property spotless, indicating inconsistency in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised, with guests loving the proximity to the seaside village and beautiful coast. The setting near the river and estuary adds to the appeal, making it a perfect spot for a holiday retreat.
The property is generally considered comfortable and spacious, with a few suggestions for additional homely touches and practical items. Some guests mentioned a lack of storage space and minor issues with facilities that affected their comfort.
Facilities have received mixed feedback. While the property is seen as well-presented, there are reports of maintenance issues such as a non-revolving microwave, smelly drains, and a lack of essential kitchen items. The absence of a log fire, as advertised, was also noted.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
Boasting simply stunning and incredibly spacious accommodation which has been finished to an impeccably high standard, Riverview resides in a tranquil setting on the fringes of beautiful Alnmouth in Northumberland and is the perfect property to host a big family holiday or get-together of family and friends. The accommodation has been planned to maximise the mesmerising sea views which are visible on each of the three levels of the property, starting with the impressive first-floor open-plan living space which has a large seating area with a stove-effect fire and an elegant dining area, positioned in front of bi-folding doors opening onto a gorgeous balcony with stunning views. This is a really sociable space and somewhere you can imagine gathering together to indulge in quality holiday time. Even cooking is a sociable experience with the sleek, fully fitted kitchen adjoining the dining area and fully fitted with everything needed to produce delicious food for the holiday party. If your guests are looking for a quieter space in which to chill out and relax, then there is a warm and welcoming sunroom on the ground floor which opens onto the gardens and is the perfect space for curling up with a good book and enjoying some quality ‘me’ time. The outside space is just as well presented with an artificial grass area and a patio as well as a fantastic hot tub, all ready to welcome guests and encourage them to spend time alfresco. When it’s time for bed, there are five stunning bedrooms to choose from; a super-king-size, a king-size, a double and two twins, so whatever combination of guests you have in your party there is a bedroom to suit. All boast sumptuous beds waiting for you to sink into and offer a calming space to rest your weary heads after a tiring day at the beach. In the morning, after a quick, refreshing dip in the shower or a long, relaxing soak in the gorgeous freestanding bath, you’re ready to get out and about exploring. The attractive village of Alnmouth is on the doorstep as well as miles of sandy beaches and a golf course. Hop in the car for a scenic drive to Alnwick which is known for its castle and gardens, or travel a little further and discover places to visit like Hadrian’s Wall, Howick Hall and Gardens, Dunstanburgh Castle and Northumberland Country Zoo. If you love wildlife, then check out the RSPB reserves at Annstead Dunes and Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre or take a boat trip over to the Farne Islands where you might catch sight of a seal. Boasting outstanding accommodation and beautiful views, a stay at Riverview promises to deliver an unforgettable holiday.
Situated just 4 miles east of Alnwick, Alnmouth is a charming resort popular with golfers and those seeking a peaceful holiday. The village lies on a narrow spit of land between the River Aln and the North Sea and was originally the port for Alnwick. Nowadays the area has returned to its unspoilt origins and offers a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as an excellent “links” golf course and some great rivers for fishing, as well as boasting miles and miles of splendid beaches and sand dunes to explore which afford stunning views of the North Sea. A short drive will bring you to Alnwick with its famous historic castle, The Alnwick Garden housing the Poison Garden which runs guided tours through dangerous botanicals and a variety of pubs and restaurants. Alnmouth is well situated for exploring Northumberland.
