This 2-bedroom cottage is a converted school in the heart of Alnwick, Northumberland. This property retains its original exposed stone walls, vaulted ceilings with original beams and sash windows. It sleeps four guests across two king-size bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room.

You're right in the middle of one of Northumberland's most atmospheric towns. Alnwick Castle is just half a mile away and the cobbled streets, pubs and bistros are all within 500 metres. Alnmouth beach is 5 miles away and Warkworth is within 9 miles.

Two king-size bedrooms: one on the ground floor with a striking stone feature wall and one on a split-level mezzanine with a cosy reading nook. Both have en-suite shower rooms. The lounge-diner has platform seating and a large Smart TV, while the kitchen has an induction hob, dishwasher and Tassimo coffee machine. Up to two dogs are welcome.

Alnwick Castle (half a mile, 2 min drive), Alnwick Garden with its Poison Garden (0.3 miles, 6 min walk), Warkworth Castle (7.4 miles, 14 min drive) and Dunstanburgh Castle (9 miles, 17 min drive) are all close by.

This rental suits couples, families and dog owners who want a well-equipped base in a genuinely interesting building, steps from everything Alnwick offers. Check which dates are free and book your stay in this converted Alnwick school.
