  We’ve had a wonderful week. The Carriage House is a home-from-home with all the space you could need and more! Brilliant location for the lovely beach walks, cafes, pubs & and restaurants. We had pizza from Hope and Anchor, it was very nice. Highly recommend Whitling House and Bistro 23 for cocktails! The Jolly Fisherman at Craster and the White Swan Inn at Warenford both serve excellent food. Paxton House, Dunstunburgh Castle, and the lovely beach walk along to The Ship Inn, at Low Newton by the Sea. Wallington was amazing! So many lovely places to visit and we were so lucky with the weather. What a great stylish and very comfortable house to return to. Great to have a parking space too. We would love to return. Thank you for the lovely welcoming hamper! Judith & John P.S Jaspers Bistro in Amble is amazing food – well worth it!

  Alnmouth is beautiful.

  This property is in an ideal spot for the beach. However, though this is a very nice property, it feels a bit grubby and tired. Threadbare carpet in lounge covered with a couple of rugs. Cooker not clean. Towels need replacing as very thin. Everywhere feels that it could do with a good clean. Rattling pipes when toilet flushed. Enclosed outdoor space is not really enclosed as dogs can easily access the next garden and neighbour using unfenced access rights. I mistakenly saw that the house has two bathrooms and assumed wrongly that both bathrooms would contain a toilet!! One bathroom has no toilet - 2nd toilet is in the rear hall. Very very small loo space - only to be used in emergency! my mistake. I should have read the description more thoroughly! I will be visiting Alnmouth again for sure but not this property.

  Couldn't ask for a better location - straight out of the house and onto the river and beach for glorious walks enjoying the views and nature.

  The house has good-sized bedrooms, the lounge is very comfortable with the sun streaming into it every morning, and the central heating was efficient. We were surprised to see the open fire has gone, as it's still mentioned in the description, but there's an electric fire instead which (though less romantic) was probably a good deal easier to light and warm the lounge through. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there was even a bed provided for the dogs. It's a bit of a pain that dogs aren't allowed upstairs, as our two are used to sleeping with us and weren't very impressed at being kept downstairs, but I can understand that the owners don't want to risk muddy paws on furnishings. All in all, we found it good value for money and loved it!

  One year on after staying at The Carriage House for a short break in April 2023, we returned for a longer break last week. I’m sure that it will not be our last visit because the property and the location has everything you need for a wonderful family break. The property is very well-appointed and comfortably accommodates the three generations of our family. Alnmouth itself benefits from good eateries and the excellent deli, whilst the beach is an attraction at any time of the year for grandchildren! Northumberland has so many attractions to visit and many wonderful places to eat and drink – and not at Edinburgh or London prices! I can’t recommend this highly enough. It ticks all the boxes for a family holiday.

  We had a great holiday in Alnmouth and the Beach House was a good location for accessing the beach.

  It was a comfortable lounge area for the family to relax in and was nice and warm. However we had a few issues with general cleanliness that should have been easy to maintain. There was mouldy cutlery in the dishwasher; the ocean was unclean and the carpet had a lot of dirty stains on our arrival which was a little off putting. The dishcloths were very old and tatty too - they need to be replaced. A couple of us also felt itchy and had 1-3 bite marks on our bodies and we wondered if this could be bed bugs - but I couldn't be sure. Overall a great house but would be reluctant to revisit unless I could be sure these things were rectified.
