  Loved the whole experience of the cottage, Alnwick and the wider Northumberland area.

  Locals lovely, neighbours lovely and a great parking spot as I drive a pickup truck. Bed amazingly comfy and loved the lounge chairs that , at the click of a switch turned into luxury slouching chairs. I've genuinely never been on one of these before. As others have said cottage is a little dated in the kitchen but absolutely nothing wrong with it, I'm still using a similar era kitchen at home with no plans to change. Minute gripes.... Front door can be a bit difficult to open but I do have arthritis in my thumbs. Could do with advice on what to do with glass for recycling. We couldn't find anywhere (not that we were searching high and low) so bought bottles home with us. Finally, if I read your instructions correctly, a dog isn't supposed to go anywhere in the cottage but the kitchen. This is not practical. Fully appreciate not letting them upstairs but we weren't going to even try and stop our little jack russell girl joining us in the lounge. She knows she's not allowed on furniture or to put her paws on them, she doesn't at home either so we trust her. Anyway, love to stay with you again in the near future, thanks for a great week

  It was a lovely, cosy welcoming cottage in a brilliant location central to lots of wonderful sights of interest.

  We have been to Northumberland 5 times and this was the best cottage. The decor was homely and it was very well furnished with comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped and a joy to cook in. We were very comfortable there. A couple of very small issues for the owners attention include: •There was no cutlery holder in the dishwasher •The leaflets could be more up to date (one was from 2016) • There were no teaspoons! We had to buy some. We left them in the cottage for others. • for the cost of the cottage the welcome pack could have been a little more extensive and exciting! We note that others had a welcome hamper years ago! We really liked Lesbury village. We supported the community shop which we thought was a great initiative. Unfortunately The Coach House was shut for renovation, otherwise we would have supported them as well. We highly recommend The Hope and Anchor in Alnmouth - fantastic Italian food and friendly staff. We would definitely return to Willlow Cottage and recommend to friends. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

  We have just stayed at Upper Oakwood and other than the apartment being beautifully decorated and having great facilities I have nothing good to say.

  We’ve had little to no sleep with the amount of noise from the people walking around upstairs due to their floor boards being ridiculously noisy to the point they sound like they are going to come through the ceiling and the nightlife pounding on until the early hours. People walking past shrieking/fighting on the street behind on the pub crawl route and with the windows being single glazed they might as well have been inside. My five year old has been woken up at least 10+ times each night, including with the floorboard stomping and creaking above. All in all we wouldn’t recommend for any families at all. The apartment would be good for people wanting to go out and party in Alnwick however for anything else it just isn’t a relaxing break. It is however beautiful inside and has a lovely charm to it.

  This is a lovely period property well located in Alnwick, with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

  We were close to all the wonderful restaurants and bars, and really enjoyed our holiday. A lot of thought has gone into making the flat comfortable. It was clean with lovely towels and bed linen, and separate shower room and bathroom, which is handy. Nice and warm too! What I would say is that the flat can be a little noisy. There is another property above with floorboards, and this meant sound travelled early mornings. There is also a degree of street noise at night as town centre location, and during the day, street works started this week for the next few weeks, which meant an early start and a lot of drilling! Thankfully the peaceful Northumberland coast is only a short drive away. On balance a great property for a break in Alnwick.

  Fantastic accommodation with everything you could ask for! Nice big rooms which were excellently presented with the added bonus of a large enclosed garden for our dog, and us, to enjoy. The summer house was an added bonus where we could sample a bottle of wine looking out over the fields watching the sun go down. This is one of the best places we have stayed in. It was like a home rather than a holiday rental. It was a property you could move straight into and call home. It was exactly what we look for when choosing a place to stay. That’s what made it stand out for us. A lovely rural and quiet location but close enough to amenities. Both of us have been very impressed from the start to the end. It all felt very personal to us.
