Overview
Property code: OC-F28915

Immerse yourself in the history, culture, and fun on offer in Alnwick, one of Northumberland’s most popular towns. The wonderful Alnwick Castle (within 300 metres), and the unique Alnwick Gardens (under 1 mile) are on your doorstep, both offering additional activities and events you won’t want to miss. Leave the car and browse the town's independent shops and weekly market, eat out in the friendly bars and restaurants, and check out what's on at the Playhouse Arts Centre with a cinema and theatre. Nearby, Alnmouth (3 miles) has an excellent sandy beach, a picturesque golf course, and lovely shops and eateries to explore. Discover Warkworth Castle, its pretty village, and walk along the river Coquet (7.5 miles) and the bustling marina and the superb dining in neighbouring Amble (9 miles). Enjoy seafood in Craster (7.5 miles) and the coastal path walk to Dunstanburgh Castle.

This first-floor apartment located behind the market square offers character and style and is a great option for couples and friends looking to explore Northumberland and return to a welcoming home from home. Come through the shared main entrance and head up the flight of stairs to reach the apartment’s front door and you will find an area to hang your coats and store outdoor shoes. Enter the bright and airy lounge/dining room with wooden flooring where the high ceiling and two large sash windows with shutters allow plenty of natural light to flood in. There are two comfortable sofas to relax on after a day’s exploring and a TV with Freeview and a DVD player in the corner for cosy nights in. Use the dining table for sociable mealtimes or to sit and plan your holiday activities. The kitchen is just off the lounge with all the equipment you need for when you don’t want to eat out. Part of the decor includes an original feature range and the solid oak units are topped with a granite work surface. There is a breakfast table and chairs where you can sit to enjoy your morning coffee. At bedtime, there are two charming double bedrooms to choose from, and two bathrooms complete the accommodation, one shower room with a shower cubicle and WC, and one with a bath and WC.

Although there is no outside space, the property is situated in the heart of the town and is just 0.5 miles from several public gardens and green spaces to enjoy.

This is a lovely apartment in a great location for exploring the town and castle; we had such a good time there. It is perfect for being in the centre of things and getting a real feel for Alnwick, which is a lively and interesting place. A wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants are all just moments away; we particularly enjoyed Adam and Eve reRead morestaurant, which is open Wednesdays to Sundays - well worth a visit! You do hear the music from Harry's Bar down the road, but it stops promptly at bedtime and simply adds to the atmosphere; we did not find it disturbing at all. Sofas and beds were extremely comfortable and everything was very clean and well decorated. We were able to load and unload the car right outside and park it safely for up to 24 hours in one of several car parks nearby. We were also able to get to Lindisfarne easily from Alnwick, which was another highlight of the trip. Overall, this is an ideal apartment for a town-based holiday with excellent access to the countryside too! Hide

This apartment was clean and bright and had nice decor, particularly in the main room. The kitchen could be better equipped. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The location was rather off-putting and the streets on each side were noisy from early morning. The pub next door and the pub along the street were noisy at different times. The sRead morehared entrance hall and stairs were dark and narrow. It was not clear that there was a parking disc in the property. The instruction was to park on the cobbles, but there are restrictions on doing this. The property is not worth the price charged, but may be acceptable at a lower price as an urban apartment in a noisy location. Hide

This is well placed for visiting places in Northumberland. It is comfortable and full of charm. It is near to supermarkets and can recommend Carlos for its fish and chips. The weekend is slightly noisy at pub closing time but it is short lasting . The rest of the time it is really quiet. We loved staying here.

A very central apartment which unfortunately lead to be noisy in the evenings at the weekends. Music could be heard from Flowers bar until they closed.
