The property is highly recommended as a base for exploring Alnwick and Northumberland.
Cleanliness is a standout feature, with numerous guests describing the house as spotless, immaculately clean, and well maintained. Only one or two minor comments about dust or outside areas were mentioned, but these were exceptions rather than the norm.

Guests frequently mention the comfort of the beds, spacious rooms, and relaxing atmosphere. A few noted the beds were a little firm or the sofa less comfortable, but overall comfort levels are rated very highly.

The cottage is very well located close to the town centre. We visited many of the important sites in Northumberland including Alnwick Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle, Bamburgh Castle, Lindisfarne and the Breamish Valley. Northumberland is very beautiful and the cottage provided a very convenient base for exploring it

Fox House has everything you need for an enjoyable and extremely comfortable stay. The lovely personal touch of the welcome pack was much appreciated. Its quiet location is just a short distance from the charming town centre which has a great variety of shops, cafes and restaurants. Nearby Alnwick castle and gardens are definitely worth visiting as is Barter Books. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Fox House and hopefully book a return visit when I next come back to the area as there’s still so much to see and do.
