  Beautiful, comfortable, spotless property in a superb location. The welcome hamper was fantastic. The dog welcome hamper was a great extra touch too! We’ve been to Northumberland many times on holiday, usually staying in the countryside, but we really enjoyed being in Alnwick itself for ease of access to everything. We can really recommend Turnbull’s in town for lunch foods and the one on the outskirts of town for meat and other dining goodies. We had very good fish and chips and gelato from Carlo’s too. We had trips to the seaside at Longhoughton, Beadnell and Warkworth. A walk we have never missed on any visit is from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle – recommend parking in the “field parking” before the main carpark – more space and friendlier! We also enjoyed walking in the national park at Simonside.For people with a dog, there’s a nice park about 5mins away from the property, turn right out of the front door and right up past the police station – the park is near Swansfield Primary School – the park is called Swansfield park. The dog also enjoyed a run off the lead in the landscape below the castle near to the river. And of course we also paid several visit to Barter Books! Our son enjoyed having his own “suite” on the mezzanine! A great holiday – didn’t want to leave! – Many thanks.

  Brilliant just brilliant.

  The house was just as described on the website. spotlessly clean in all aspects, in fact it was almost brand new. The kitchen, lounge, bathroom and both bedrooms exuded quality. We had a wonderful week there. i am a photographer and came to Norham to reshoot a photograph I did last year, for me that was a twelve hundred mile round trip. every mile was worth it, never mind the photo, Norham and the house made it worthwhile. The location of the village was a perfect starting point to explore the borders ( Kelso what a gem of a place ). The pub ( Masons Arms) was friendly and welcoming, full of locals willing to have a conversation. I like pubs so I kept going back. Both my wife and I agree the 46 Castle Street and Norham is just a wonderful place to visit and intend to rebook, you never know I might just get that photo right.

  This pretty cottage in the heart of the village of Elsdon is an absolute gem.

  We were lucky enough to be the first to stay in it since it was refurbished and it has been done to an exceptionally high standard. Everything you could want is on hand from tupperware for picnics to an electric blanket for chilly nights.The property is clean and spacious with stunning views over the Northumberland countryside and in the national park so thousands of stars on a clear night. There is a village pub open four nights a week with its' own micro brewery and the village also offers some interesting history including the remains of the best preserved Motte-and-bailey castle in Northumberland. The cottage owners are a delight and we would love to stay here again as it is brilliantly located and well appointed. In fact, nicer than our actual home!

  We have had a wonderful stay at The Old Library. We loved the décor and the furnishings. The whole place was way beyond expectations. We have stayed at quite a few cottages around the UK and this is the best by far! We had quite a lot of day trips whilst here but we would really recommend visiting Bamburgh Castle (with some time at the beautiful beach) and a visit to Seahouses to get the boat to The Farne Islands. Alnwick is a lovely little town, with plenty of places to eat, shop and drink. We would recommend The Tanners Arms for a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, a good pint and a place to take your dog. It’s also a stones through away from the cottage. We are going to recommend the cottage to all of our friends as we’ve absolutely loved it!

  46 Castle Street was an excellent choice for a much needed short break for relaxing and recuperating with wonderful coastal walks a short drive away, and calm riverside walks by the Tweed just minutes away from the cottage.

  We would certainly hope to book the cottage again. Recently refurbished to a very high standard, the cottage is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The back of the cottage is quite a sun-trap, so the reclining chairs were a bonus. The welcome pack of local produce was a pleasant surprise - especially the Chain Bridge Farm honey, thank you. The village butchers/deli is excellent, and the small general shop had good fresh produce when we were there. Whilst a dog is allowed in the cottage - and the friendly neighbours certainly enjoyed getting to know our dog - the owner requests that dogs aren't allowed upstairs/into the bedrooms; we took our dog and were glad that we'd taken her crate/cage to ensure she slept downstairs.
