About this property
Nestling in a peaceful part of the delightful village of Alnmouth in Northumberland, Riverside Lodge is a stunning coach house conversion which dates back to Edwardian times and offers impressive accommodation completed to a high standard. Ideal for a family on holiday or two couples, the open-plan living space is situated on the first-floor to maximise the coastal views from the windows. The seating area is positioned in front of feature picture windows boasting ever-changing sea views plus there is a TV if you get bored of the views outside the window! When tummies start to rumble, there is a stylish fully fitted kitchen complete with all the appliances needed to produce great food for the guests and when it’s time to serve, there is an inviting dining area made for drinking and dining together. If the sun is shining, then there is an outside courtyard area complete with a picnic bench which is the perfect spot for sitting down and enjoying time alfresco. At bedtime, choose from a ground-floor king-size or a first-floor double; both are equally tastefully presented and offer sumptuous interiors, perfect for recharging your batteries and getting some shut-eye before another active day of getting out and about exploring. The charming village of Alnmouth is on the doorstep together with miles of sandy beaches, or take a short drive to Alnwick, famous for its castle and gardens. Drive a little further to attractions such as Hadrian’s Wall, Howick Hall and Gardens, Dunstanburgh Castle and Northumberland Country Zoo. Take a boat trip over to the Farne Islands where you might catch sight of an unusual bird or seal. If you love wildlife, then you’ve come to the right place with RSPB reserves at Annstead Dunes and Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre. Activities worth having a go at while you’re here include golf at Alnmouth Golf Club, horse-riding at Slate Hall Riding Centre, surfing at Bamburgh Castle Beach and sailing at Beadnell Sailing Club. For a holiday to remember a lifetime, Riverside Lodge has it all; superb accommodation in a gorgeous coastal setting.

Situated in a quiet, tranquil village, just the sound of the many birds in the area and very near access to the sandy beach, this property also has excellent restaurants within walking distance- who could ask for more?

Parking space useful as Alnmouth is getting busier. Only thing we missed was a pizza cutter and maybe a washing machine? I know not everyone needs one on holiday but we were away for 10 days in total as then had a weekend in Newcastle. We would love to come back next year.

Very comfortable and well positioned with nice views. We enjoyed our stay and felt very much at home there. It was well equipped with everything we needed. A few extra drinking glasses would be useful. Darker curtains in the downstairs bedroom would be an improvement.
