Very good

We were travelling with friends for a short break as part of my 60th birthday celebrations. There is no on site parking at the property but there is a lot of free parking available very close to the property with stays up to 24hrs, there was no problem getting spaces for our 3 cars. The property is on 3 floors, there is a great open plan kitchen/ diner and there was a really good selection of glasses and crockery. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and cosy, but there were no doors on the toilets upstairs, but there is on the downstairs toilet. It is close to the town centre and there are many good restaurants. We ate in the Thia restaurant Leo, it was excellent and the Market Tavern was also very good, both are recommended. Alnwick is a lovely town and has some lovely shops and Barter books is a must visit, it is fantastic. Alnwick castle is also worth a visit. Lovely beaches at Warkworth and at Amble. It's a great area and we will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed review! We're delighted to hear that you chose to spend part of your 60th birthday celebration with us and that the property suited your group so well.
It’s great to know that parking worked out smoothly for your three cars and that you enjoyed the kitchen space and amenities. We're also happy the bedrooms were comfortable and cozy for everyone. We do understand the comment about the upstairs toilets not having doors and appreciate you pointing that out — we'll take it into consideration for future improvements.
We’re thrilled you made the most of Alnwick and the surrounding area — Barter Books, the castle, and those nearby beaches really are special, and it’s wonderful to hear your restaurant recommendations too!
We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime.
