Alnwick stay
We recently had a 4 night stay at Dovecote house. A lovely house set in a primal location of all Alnwick local amenities. Upon arrival we were surprised by the size of the upstairs,3 double rooms, one twin and 2 bathrooms, just what we needed for a group of 7 adults 1 child, a baby and a dog . There were a few problems with the main bathroom, a bath that empties on its own whilst full, a light that was difficult to turn off and on and a unit around the sink which wasn’t attached. That being said that didn’t spoil our stay but it could be improved. Downstairs there was a lovely entrance way with a large area suitable for storing coats, shoes and a buggy. The kitchen/ living area is relatively small but open plan and a great social area for family gatherings. We found the kitchen area to lack a few things we would expect to find in self catering accommodation including pint glasses, tea spoons scissors and given the number of guests the house accommodates we felt it lacked fridge space and food preparation areas. The general cleanliness looked good and we thought the house was clean to a good standard. However, upon us wiping up some spilled water from the living room floor we found it to be dirty and could have done with a deep clean. That been said I have still rated it 5 stars as the rest of the house was cleanAll this being said we had a lovely stay at dovecote house and we would be likely to return in the future if the problems we have identified have been rectified.
