Fox house was absolutely perfect. It was clean, comfortable and cosy in a quiet cul de sac. Everything we could have needed was provided. We especially appreciated the welcome pack and local information in the book. The location was perfect for a 5 minute walk to Barter Books or a 10 minute walk into the centre of Alnwick. Other beautiful areas were easy to get to by car such as Bamburgh, Seahouses and Craster. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Thank you!

Lovely holiday home in a great location. Lots of space for us and the dog. Everything we needed was in the house and a lovely welcome pack. We would book again if in that area.
