Excellent property, very high spec and very well appointed. You have everything you need. The hot tub was brilliant after a long day hiking. Alnwick is only a 15 minute walk away and is full of nice cafes and pubs with meals, try the Dirty Dog and Melvins cafe, make sure you book the pub though especially at week ends.

Very clean, beds extremely comfortable, one good large TV (no DVDs provided). The welcome pack was greatly appreciated.

This was such a great find, well located for Alnwick castle and gardens, the coast and so many other interesting places and beautiful places within easy reach. Coming back after a days walking to a reclining chair and a hot tub was amazing. The place was clean and well kept, we're already talking about staying again.
