Property code: OC-78792

This superb property, located in the heart of the thriving market town of Alnwick, is ideal for you and your guests – including the canine ones! Sleeping six over three tranquil bedrooms with enough space for up to two dogs to snooze, it won’t be long before you’re refreshed and ready to head out and explore. Stay close to home and visit Bailiffgate Museum (1 mile) that tells the history of Alnwick or head to Alnmouth Beach (5 miles); if you want to go further, go on a Puffin Cruise (9.5 miles) to Coquet Island where you’ll see lots of nesting birds.

The property feels spacious and bright and makes use of feature colours perfectly. Relax among soothing chocolate tones in the lounge, where the pups will take their space curled up in front of the flame-effect electric fire, or enjoy a quick and sociable breakfast in the kitchen with calming touches of the sea and a quirky feature wall. Cook up a storm and eat at the pretty dining table or head out to the enclosed patio where stone walls and sunny spots make it perfect for al fresco dining. At bedtime, take an indulgent soak in the free-standing bath before snuggling into bed in one of the peaceful bedrooms.

Take a wander to the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle (7 miles); you can walk 1.5 miles there from Craster where you might see lots of birds, sheep and cows on the way. Stroll the 3.5 miles of beautiful beach and sand dunes at Druridge Bay Country Park (15 miles) or take a walk around the freshwater lake and woodland. Let the hounds help you sniff out clues on the Seahouses Treasure Hunt Trail (15 miles), or head up to Bamburgh (18 miles) where the castle and beach are well worth a visit.

A lovely little cottage. We had a really relaxing few days. If you are fit and healthy, the walk into town will not be a problem. If not, you might want to take the bus or the car. A parking permit was provided and this is a real boost for travelling further afield as there is so much to see youre spoiled for choice. Although 3 bedrooms woulRead mored not really recommend for 6 adults as the living area is quite small. A great base to explore Alnwick and the surrounding areas. Hide

What a beautiful, comfortable cottage. Reasonably well equipped, lovely and clean, very comfy beds. Location to Alnwick centre is perfect, the castle and gardens only being a 10 minute walk away. The outside area is safe for dogs and a good size.

Toms Cottage was faultless, so well equipped and a lovely welcome pack included including fresh milk and bread, which was most appreciated. We explored a wide area from Alnwick it was a wonderful base and the cottage was very homely. Not quite dog friendly outside though.

This is a gorgeous cottage in a fantastic position. Easy parking outside. Lovely owners - fab hamper. The living room is very comfortable, the bathroom is excellent. For us, choosing a cottage with an enclosed garden is our highest priority, we have a dog and don't enjoy wandering the streets at all times of day and night. Whilst I understand and aRead moregree with the reasons that dogs should not toilet on AstroTurf, this needs to be made clear to people booking the cottage at the point of booking. Hide

We had a lovely stay at Tom's Cottage, it had everything we needed for a week away from home with the kids and Grandpa. Great location for exploring Alnwick without the car, with loads to do within a 30 minutes drive. Parking was never an issue for us and the street is lovely and quiet. Highly recommend.

Lovely house. Photos really dont do it justice. Very comfortable home from home. Great location. Good for sightseeing all the wonderful sites such as Bamburgh, Cragside, beaches and even a trip in to Scotland. Highly recommended.

Toms Cottage was cosy, comfortable and well-equipped. You can easily walk to Barter Books, Alnwick Gardens or the town centre and theres a very handy Co-op just around the corner. We had a lovely stay and would recommend it!

Cleanliness has room for improvement, ie. cleaning all the cobwebs in the bedrooms and kitchen. Outside area needs a total refurbishment. Tablecloths for outside should be provided.
