The Duke of Northumberland's residence, Alnwick Castle, dominates the charming and ancient market town of Alnwick. The Castle Gardens, which were first made available to the public in 2002, contain Europe's biggest cascading water feature, an amazing (and massive) treehouse, a charming rose garden, and a stunning, walled ornamental garden that will please both amateur and professional gardeners. The castle is well-known for serving as the backdrop for Hogwarts School in the Harry Potter movies. While the London to Edinburgh stage coach once travelled through the town, the small lanes have hardly changed, and the Market Place, with its stone cross, continues to be the focal point and the ideal location for the weekly Saturday market.

A super Harry Potter themed property with lots of nice little details. Lovely and thoughtful welcome basket on arrival.

The accommodation was great and really good fun. A few extra mats for the table would be useful to place hot bowls/dishes on and not mark the table. Top floor shower didn't drain very well and we were a little concerned that it might overflow. It didn't so perhaps it's not an issue. A lovely hamper was waiting for us, which was unexpected and very nice, thank you. Position in the town was superb.

The only issue we had was the wifi/ TV aerial which wouldnât normally be a problem but we had quite a rainy day and it would have been good to have watched TV or a movie but there was no reception even when we tried to retune the TV and the wifi kept dropping out. Didnât bother you with this at the time as we were only there for a short time. Thank you for the extra little touches too, Sharon
