About this property

A beautiful stone-built cottage located in the market town of Alnwick, tucked away behind the High Street in a charming part of Northumberland. Perfect for families, Laburnum Cottage is laced with an abundance of character and heart-warming features to make you feel right at home from the outset. As you enter, you will be welcomed by a lounge, presented to an immaculate standard with exceptional flooring and a gas fire to elevate those cooler nights. The kitchen continues the sense of charm, with overhead wooden beams and a contemporary design to compliment the feel of the cottage. A utility area is on hand, and a well-appointed cloakroom completes the ground floor. Follow the exposed stonework upstairs, where you will discover two king-size bedrooms, the first boasting an attractive en-suite and a twin bedroom just as promising for a good night's sleep. There is a main bathroom with a freestanding bath and a separate shower with underfloor heating and Bluetooth speakers. After taking some time to appreciate the cottages interior, access the little courtyard from the kitchen to be at one with the location; a nice spot to unwind away from it all. Alnwick offers a selection of shops, pubs and places to eat with plenty to see and do, not forgetting miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands, all easily accessible. Laburnum Cottage is the perfect chance to explore Northumberland and its notable Heritage Coastline.

Alnwick Castle, the seat of the Duke of Northumberland, towers over the picturesque and historic market town of Alnwick. To the delight of amateur and professional gardeners alike, the 2002-opened Castle Gardens are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden, and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden. The castle is also well-known for its role as the location of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter film series. The town's main square, marked by a stone cross, remains unchanged from the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through, and it serves as the perfect setting for the town's weekly Saturday market. There is plenty to see and do near Alnwick, including miles of golden sand beaches, numerous castles, and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands. As a whole, it's a great base from which to discover Northumberland and its breathtaking Heritage Coast.

  • Patricia

    Comfortable and clean with a quaint front garden and an ideal seating area at the back of the property. Less than a 5 min walk into Alnwick centre, the cottage is surprisingly quiet. We will certainly be back. We had dinner at the Treehouse and The Market Tavern and lunch at Grannies - would recommend all of them. Also a great location for visiting nearby tourist attractions, Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle and The Jolly Fisherman in Craster.
