This was our second visit to a very spacious Alice Cottage due to its location and home from home feel. Central for exploring both the beautiful coast and the stunning countryside. Love the village community feel with a wonderful shop, pubs and with the bonus of being within walking distance of beautiful Embleton Bay.

Stayed here before and would certainly do again! Exactly what we needed and looked for: spacious, comfortable. Brilliant location for getting to the beach while still a short drive to Alnwick for all the other essentials and touristy spots.
