A delightful comfortable cottage at the top of the village close to the shop and the pubs. It is in a narrow cul-de-sac with parking but do reverse down otherwise you will have to reverse out! The kitchen is very well equipped with a dish washer and a washing machine and plenty of pots and pans if you choose to eat in. However the Hope and AncRead morehor does an amazing fish and chips!!

Central location in village on a quiet lane. Easy access to pubs, restaurants and the shop. Bus stop a short walk with busses for Alnwick, Berwick, Warkworth. It's a 30 min walk to station, taxis available but in high demand.

Lovely little cottage situated in the heart of Alnmouth, a very dog friendly village on the coast. No garden but a large beach nearby. Neighbours friendly. We have been coming here for the last 3 years and it seems like a second home. Plenty of dog friendly places to eat and the hotel at the top of the road does excellent take away.We do not eat inRead more as so much choice. Plenty of places to visit, including Warkworth Amble (for a superb fish lunch at restaurant on the quay) and many others. Hide

Location is the biggest bonus of this cottage as you can just step out to the high street but it is very quiet. Well equipped. Single beds in second room were narrow though so would suit a family rather than 4 adults. A flooring deep clean in bedrooms and bathrooms needed and fan and cord in en-suite need replacing/fixing. Owner informed of this.

This is our 4th time here. We find it convenient for the hotels and pubs for eating out during the day or evening, Also good to wander around Alnmouth or walk down to the beach without taking the car. No garden for the dogs although a wonderful beach. Cottage clean tidy and warm. Well equipped, although we always have trouble working out how to useRead more the oven on the only occasion we ate in. Alnmouth totally dog friendly. Our dog now thinks of this as her second home. We find it best to reverse down the Pinfold and park outside the cottage. Hide

Very much improved property since the lounge/dining area has been refurnished. Very central location for all the dog friendly Alnmouth eateries. No garden but easy walking distance to the beach for dog walking. Plenty of room for 2 adults but may be a bit cramped (cosy) with 4 adults.

Great situation in Alnmouth. Cottage clean and well equipped generally. Much improved fro our last visit. It is down a very narrow passage and has no back yard or small garden so only one door at the front. Can park outside but at least a five or six point turn required even for a small car. Very pet friendly inside with lots of stuff for visiting Read moredogs which is great but if they need to go it always has to be a walk to find any grassy area. Hide
