Clean, quiet, unfussy, no musty smell. The steep and narrow stairs were no problem for this spritely old man, but could be a bit irksome for the less spritely, tho there are bannisters either side. I recommend the free Warkworth beach car park for a lovely evening stroll. The stroll from the door isn't bad either.Alnmouth Station is a few minutes walk and convenient for Newcastle, Berwick, even Edinburgh for day trips. Happy customer, thanks!

The Alnmouth coast is beautiful at any time of year. It's a well-equipped cosy and warm house for an Autumn stay. Our dog loved the enclosed front garden. The beds appear to be new and comfortable, the TV has Netflix. The local dog-friendly pubs in Alnmouth have quiz nights and nice food. Alnwick, Bamburgh, Craster are all close by and worth a visit.

Quiet area with views of the countryside. Plenty of inside space for a family. Availability of Netflix also a positive especially where the children were concerned. Only approx 10 minutes drive to the lovely Alnmouth and Longhoughton Beaches. 15 mins drive to Alnwick itself with itâs attractions such as Alnwick Castle, Gardens and Lilidorei (worlds largest play structure) and supermarkets. Albout 30 minutes from Seahouses for boat trips etc. Would certainly recommend for future stays to the area.
