About this property
Resting beside the estuary of Alnmouth and within easy reach of the local shops, pub and beach, Beach House is a well-presented property ideal for a Northumbrian family getaway. Be welcomed into this stone front house, finding yourself in a spectacular sitting room, where an open fire crackles as seas of light are drawn in from the large bay windows, making this a wonderful spot to put your feet up and catch up on some reading, and there is also the option of a games room with a day bed and mini pool table. When mealtimes call, the kitchen has all of the home-from-home amenities needed to cook up a storm, which can be enjoyed in the dining area. Soak the sand from your hair in the shower room or enjoy a warm bath, before getting cosy in one of the three bedrooms, a king-size with a TV, storage and stripy furniture, a second-floor king-size with baby blue roof beams and wooden flooring and a lovely bunk room with wood panelled walls and ceiling, ideal for children. Outside there is a yard with a patio and furniture, encouraging you to dine alfresco. Alnmouth is a fantastic coastal town with a lot on offer for guests, beginning with the large sandy beach, so why not enjoy a stroll in the salty air or visit the harbour or riverside walks? Venture into town for a bite to eat, sampling local produce at one of the tasty eateries and you can stock up on essentials at the local convenience store. Further from the property you will find the town of Warkworth, where there are more pubs, shops and a fantastic castle. Enjoy a trip to the seaside with a stay at Beach House.
Situated just 4 miles east of Alnwick, Alnmouth is a charming resort popular with golfers and those seeking a peaceful holiday. The village lies on a narrow spit of land between the River Aln and the North Sea and was originally the port for Alnwick. Nowadays the area has returned to its unspoilt origins and offers a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as an excellent “links” golf course and some great rivers for fishing, as well as boasting miles and miles of splendid beaches and sand dunes to explore which afford stunning views of the North Sea. A short drive will bring you to Alnwick with its famous historic castle, The Alnwick Garden housing the Poison Garden which runs guided tours through dangerous botanicals and a variety of pubs and restaurants. Alnmouth is well situated for exploring Northumberland.

Overall we were happy with the accommodation, which was clean and comfortable. However, the furniture, fittings and equipment are showing signs of hard use and could certainly do with a "refresh" sooner rather than later. Lack of a toilet in the first floor bathroom is also somewhat inconvenient.

We enjoyed walks from the door, sometimes using the bus to return. The small museum in the ferryman's hut gave an insight into Alnmouths history. Parking in Garden terrace is tricky as it's very narrow. The weather was mixed but overall we had a good week.

Great location to feel away from it all. House clean with comfortable living space and bedrooms ,good wifi in all areas. Kitchen is compact but well equipped. House felt welcoming and relaxed. We enjoyed the outside seating area - a day-long sun trap with parasol provided. Managed to park easily ,close to the house at bottom of the road ,adjacent to small park. Generally an overall excellent stay. Would definitely re-book.
