Alnholme is a three-storey coastal holiday home in the heart of Alnmouth village, Northumberland. It sleeps six across three bedrooms and sits just half a mile from a sandy beach. There's no hot tub here, but what you do get is a wood-burning stove, sea views from the upper floors and a location that puts the beach, shops, pubs and restaurants all within easy walking distance.

Alnmouth is a small coastal village with a golf course literally metres from the property and it has panoramic ocean views. The Aln Estuary runs nearby with salt marsh, dunes and good birdwatching. The main street has independent shops, cafes and pub-restaurants.

Three bedrooms sleep six: a ground-floor king-size with a four-poster bed, a double on the second floor with ocean views and a spacious twin with Velux-style sea-view windows. Two bathrooms a ground-floor bath with shower attachment and a second-floor shower room.

Alnwick Castle and Gardens is five miles away. Craster, famous for kippers and the coastal path to Dunstanburgh Castle, is eight miles. Amble's boat trips to Coquet Island are six miles. Howick Hall and tea rooms are six miles north.

Alnholme suits families and couples wanting a proper coastal base. Walk to the beach in minutes, park the car and leave it all week. Guests call it a genuine home-from-home.
