The property is decorated beautifully and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a 'home away from home' holiday. The set up is very dog friendly with a large hall to wipe down and remove the sand before heading up to the apartment. We are regular visitors to Alnmouth and we will be recommending Upper Alnbank as a great place to stay to friends and family. I am looking at dates already for a return visit!
