About this property
Nestled into the outskirts of Alnwick, Bucklaw Cottage is the ideal base for a couple’s retreat to Northumberland, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. Be welcomed into a beautiful open-plan living area, where stylish brown and cream décor complements the traditional cottage feel of this property, and why not get cosy in one of the tasteful leather and tartan sofas and catch up on your favourite TV shows with a glass of your favourite beverage? Tall ceilings add an airy feel to this well-presented room, as well as charming driftwood features and carefully chosen artwork, and when mealtimes call, you can create a romantic meal for two in the contemporary kitchen space, serving it on the dining table.
The beautiful décor of the living area is continued into a stunning king-size bedroom with full length glass windows opening up onto a courtyard where you can sit with a coffee and enjoy the views of the surrounding stone front cottages, and a tastefully tiled bathroom is ideal for shaking the sand from your hair after a long day at the beach. Alnwick is a historic town with so much on offer for guests, beginning with the brilliant selection of local eateries, and scenic riverside walks from Hulne Park, following the curve of the River Aln until it reaches the sea.
Take a day to enjoy local attractions such as Alnwick gardens and the fantastic Barter Books, where you can indulge in home made cake and coffee, before trying out a game of golf at the local course. Alnwick also has an amazing historic castle, and if you want to spend the day at the beach with your significant other, then Alnmouth town and sandy beach is only a short distance away. Fall in love with the wonders of Northumberland with a stay at the quaint Bucklaw Cottage.
The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
