About this property

A stunning stone townhouse close to the local beach and amenities, Fairhaven, Alnwick, is an idyllic seaside getaway for a family or a group of adults looking to explore the countryside and coast of Northumberland. Park on-road, using the permits provided, and unpack into this stunning stone property. Be welcomed into a lovely sitting room with themes of blue and grey throughout the furniture and a selection of sofas for you to recline on and catch up on your favourite TV shows. Spacious and with contemporary décor, the kitchen will entice any budding chef to cook up a storm, a space sporting all of the appliances to make your stay convenient, and you can enjoy a meal together in the wonderful dining room with pale green walls and wooden flooring. As well as a refreshing bathroom and shower room, there are five bedrooms within this property, including two super-king-size bedrooms, both with ornamental fireplaces and storage, a single bed ideal for a child, and two super-king-size zip-links on the second floor that can be set up as a twin on request. Outside you will be delighted to find a rear yard with seating for alfresco dining and access to Riverside Road and to the beach. Alnmouth is a marvelous seaside location with loads on offer, beginning with a brilliant beach only a short walk from the property where you can enjoy seaside walks with your four-legged companions and picnics with a view. A selection of eateries, pubs and shops await your exploration, and there is also the option of the Old School Art gallery, England’s Oldest 9 Hole Links Golf course and the historic Old Gun Emplacement. For more historic sites visit Warkworth, or Alnwick, where there are a range of eateries, walks, and two magnificent castles. Explore the coast of Northumberland with a stay at the charming Fairhaven.

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.

    only one shower- small BUT everyone used daily and always hot and powerful. Kitchen very well appointed didn't want for anything. Perfect position for all amenities and beach. plenty of parking we had 5 cars in our party. 2 permits but plenty of off street parking.

  • Ray

    However, for a house this size, a single (and small) shower is not adequate, Moreover, it leaked through the floor below and was blocked when we arrived. Would benefit from hand soap in bathrooms (mentioned in previous reviews), an explanation on how the central heating works (I had to google the control unit), clearer bin putting out instructions (alleyway?) and a glass recycling point in Alnmouth. A huge plus was the responsiveness of the NCCC/Sykes staff who quickly turned up to provide the high chair that we'd requested (but wasn't there on arrival) and sort out the shower.

  • Bev

    Very comfortable bedrooms .Extremely well equipped kitchen Lots of stairs in the property worth bearing in mind if you’re not very mobile . Two parking permits provided got on street parking which was never an issue even though we were there over half term holidays . We had a couple of minor plumbing issues which were very promptly sorted out . Would recommend for a familiar holiday
