Everything that we needed in the apartment. However the patio area was lacking and Spartan compared to the next property next door. Allocated parking was not clearly identified and the rear of the service menâs club could have done with some TLC to make it more appealing to guests.

Superb position in Alnmouth, was a lovely place to return to after days out. Felt like home from home. By far the best accommodation we have stayed in during our many stays in Alnmouth. Perfect to open the doors and let the sun (and wind) in and the dogs out onto the decking. The decking could do with a bit of care and the small bistro table and chairs have seen better days. Was a tad disappointed that no toiletries whatsoever were provided. There was a virtually empty liquid soap bottle in the downstairs toilet, but fortunately we had a small bar in wash bag, so didn't have to rush out and get anything. Please also have a look at the bathroom door, as it does not shut properly. Thank you for a lovely stay.
