Perfect in every way

From booking to stay the communication with Louise was first class. The cottage was clean, well kitted out and welcome pack was a lovely touch including the personalised card. Location is first class as we had lots of activities planned in Alnwick. Really nice to dump the car and walk everywhere. Delighted we finally got to celebrate special birthdays after covid. Thanks Louise and team.

Lovely cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at Falstaff cottage. It was exceptionally clean and had extra little touches such as home made cake which was delicious and local gin. It is perfectly situated to walk to the castle and gardens and just a short drive to the beach, we loved Warkworth the most. Would definitely recommend.

Great House and Location

This is a great house to stay at while in Alnwick. The self check-in was very easy, and the house was lovely. Louise also adds several personal touches (almond cake, beers/tea, milk, flowers, etc). It is a very easy walk, maybe 5 minutes if you are a slow walker, into the center of town. The beds were very soft and comfortable, and the duvets were amazing. Only slight issue would be the hot water. We never really had a "hot" shower, warmish, but not hot. It's an old building, so it's understandable. Louise is an exceptional host. She sends tons of info of things to do around the area, and is very quick and responsive. Overall, a great stay, and would definitely consider staying here when we return to Alnwick.

sorry all round

the rain was a deciding factor that made us leave early along with the quirky winding staircase that made us promise ourselves we`ll have a ground floor acc. next time with no stairs, we are well in our eighties and disabled which we should have factored in but again we came home a day early and didnt accomplish a single visit to the Gardens due to the weather...
