This property is perfectly situated in Alnmouth and has parking for 1 car which is essential as it is a very popular location. There is everything in this property that you will need to enjoy your holiday it is clean and comfortable. We can highly recommend it and I also want to give a big thank you to Tim and his wife for being so generous in letting us stay a little longer to avoid the travel chaos due to the snow.

Fully equipped. Comfortable. the off road parking is only okay for a very small car. I have about the shortest car you can own and when the back tyres were at the curb, the front of the car still over hung into the lane. It would be impossible to park a large car
