Beautiful cottage in Alnwick
The cottage is lovely. It was well equipped and very clean and comfortable. There was a generosity about the place - from the welcome basket to the basics left in the kitchen (tea, coffee, salt and pepper, washing up liquid etc). It is a few minutes from everything - playhouse, castle and gardens, restaurants. Best restaurant for us was Lilburns in Alnwick- book as soon as you can.

Lovely stay In Puddleduck Cottage
A fully equipped lovely cottage with a super comfortable bed and a pretty cute outdoor patio area.. We had a lovely stay in this perfectly positioned cottage with nearby free parking A most useful Welcome Pack on arrival with the essentials ::-) The cottage is close to the road so there is some traffic noise at times but that's what we were expecting. We would happily stay here again - Thank you

We really liked the cottage and the way we could just walk into town. It was a perfect spot for access to the wedding we attended in Alnwick Gardens. We found the beds comfortable and the house was spotless. We would love to return again one day.

Nice terraced house
Good location in the centre of Alnwick, however quite noisy as all the buses and trucks avoiding the narrow archway down the road come past. Street parking fine just up the road by the Tanner's Arms. Could have been cleaner e.g. kitchen and bathroom not spotless on arrival

Gorgeous cottage
Very well equipped little cottage. Fantastic location, just a short walk away from: - Alnwick's main attractions, including Alnwick Castle and Barter Books - Swansfield playground - various supermarkets, including Lidl - the bus stop (we caught a bus to Alnmouth - only a 10 minute ride away) - long stay car parks (although be warned that these get busy, but we found unrestricted parking on nearby Lisburn Street) All in all, a fabulous stay!

Great location in Alnwick
We were delighted with our choice of property. It was full of character, clean, comfortable and had a well kitted out kitchen. The patio area is very private and we ate a few breakfasts outside. Car parking was very easy as we managed to park for free in the street opposite most of the time. There is also a free public car park just around the corner. The location of the cottage is perfect with the Market Square, foodie pubs, Alnwick Castle, The Alnwick Garden and the Playhouse just a quick walk away. Alnwick itself is well situated for quick access to both the coastal towns and the National Park. We had a great stay and highly recommend.
