Delightful cottage nestled on a quiet Mews centrally located for all town amenities. Tastefully decorated and furnished the owner has put a lot of effort into making sure guests are comfortable and content. Ample kitchen equipment, plenty of storage upstairs for clothing, ambient temperature day and night and cool cotton bedlinen together with soft fluffy towels. What more could you ask for?A lovely place to relax, equally ideal for easy travel connections across the area with the local bus station only five minutes walk away for those who wish to venture out and about. The addition of a dedicated gated and locked parking area an advantage, could be a little tricky getting in if driving a large family car, not due to the space itself which is roomy but the narrow lane entry leading up to it if other drivers are not considerate or perhaps don't realise the parking area is where it is? Did spot parking cones in the garage which could come in handy. Did not deter us and would not prevent us from rebooking in the future. Chapel View in our opinion is the 'Jewel in the Crown' in Alnwick and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Book early would be our advice!

Chapel view is lovely and cosy. Great location for restaurants and pubs and only 15 mins drive from the coast.

If it weren't for the access issues we had with the cottage this would have been a five star review (lock box jammed and owner seemed reluctant initially to send someone out to resolve it . This delayed our entry into the cottage for 90 minutes, in the dark and drizzle. Passed some of the time in the conveniently located Morrisons just through the archway. The person who came out was more service minded and forced the box open). A minor niggle was the pan situation - common to a lot of cottages we've stayed in there wasn't really a pan big enough to cook pasta for four people and the frying pan should be replaced.Aside from these issues the cottage itself is lovely. Very tastefully decorated and cosy and sited very conveniently for Alnwick town centre while also being peaceful. The parking space was also a blessing. We appreciated the quantity of crockery and cutlery provided - eight of most things and even more mugs, rather than the cottage capacity. The utensil provision within the kitchen was also good and I can't think of anything within the cottage that wasn't there when we wanted it. Nice comfortable beds. The outside area wasn't massive but was somewhere you could sit out and handy if you'd taken a dog. So, after the initial problem, we had a very pleasant stay here and being closer to the town centre encouraged us to explore Alnwick itself more.
