Beautifully presented stone-built cottage in walking distance to town, perfect for a family or friends looking for a central base in Northumberland close to castles, coast and countryside.
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.
