About this property

This beautifully presented property is surrounded by charming countryside, making it the perfect base for outdoor-loving families and groups of friends with the dogs in tow. Set in the market town of Alnwick, guests are just a short walk away from a wide range of independent shops, bars, and restaurants. The Alnwick Playhouse is a cultural hub with art exhibitions, a cinema, and a theatre, while the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens (0.5 miles) offer a memorable and historic day out. For a group picnic, head to Alnmouth Beach (4.5 miles) where you’ll find a wide expanse of golden sand, and a choice of quaint village shops and eateries. Discover Howick Hall Gardens and tearoom (6.5 miles) and walk the coastal path from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle (7.5 miles).  

This welcoming property provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Walk through the front door into the open-plan kitchen/diner, well equipped with all you need to cook up a memorable meal for the group. When it’s time to eat, gather at the nearby dining table to reflect on the day’s adventure over a delicious dish. To unwind, walk past the utility/boot room to the inviting lounge, where you can relax on the comfortable sofas with your favourite shows playing on the Smart TV, all whilst the flame-effect fire warms your toes. When day turns to night, head upstairs to find four wonderful bedrooms, starting with a king-size room with an additional corner sofa and Smart TV, as well as an en-suite bathroom with a roll top bath. The twin room beckons with its cosy beds and Smart TV, while a double room and a bunk bedroom complete the sleeping arrangements. Serving the non-en-suite bedrooms is a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside awaits a large and lawned, wrap-around garden with mature shrubs, offering plenty of privacy and space to relax. On warmer days, find the garden furniture and enjoy a morning cuppa in the sun, or gather at the charcoal BBQ in the evening for a memorable al fresco meal.
