This 2-bedroom property is a Grade II-listed former gardener's cottage in the heart of historic Alnwick, Northumberland. This property once housed the gardener of Alnwick Castle. The cottage sits in a quiet area just half a mile from shops and the famous castle.

Alnwick offers history at every turn, with a castle dating back to just after the Norman Conquest and Alnwick Garden less than a mile away. Alnmouth's sandy beach is 5 miles distant and Northumberland National Park sits 14.5 miles north with many footpaths and trails.

The cottage sleeps three guests across two bedrooms. One king-size room features pocket-sprung mattresses and views towards the castle, while a single bedroom also overlooks the castle and fields. The family bathroom has a bath and shower. Downstairs you'll find a light-filled lounge with Georgian-style sash window and feature fireplace. The kitchen-diner includes an electric fan oven, gas hob, dishwasher and Nespresso machine.

Alnwick Castle (half a mile on foot) hosts film locations and medieval displays. Alnwick Garden (under a mile, 3 minutes by car) features water sculptures and a tree house restaurant. Alnmouth Beach (5 miles) connects to the Northumberland Coast Path. Northumberland National Park (14.5 miles) offers remote moorland walks.
