Churchside Reviews

A lovely property in an ideal position, both in Alnwick itself and as a base for the surrounding area. We wished we had booked a longer stay! We would be happy to return to this house at any time of the year.
Churchside is an ideal base to explore Alnwick and Northumberland. Situated in the centre of the town you can see the castle from the bedroom windows, it is spacious, clean and has everything you need for your stay. The owners also kindly left milk, biscuits and wine to greet us when we arrived a lovely, thoughtful touch. Highly recommended.
Michael
Churchside is a beautiful house with all you could wish for. We stayed as a couple but would work equally well for a family, or a group of friends. It is conveniently located at one end of Alnwick and is a perfect base for exploring Alnwick and the Northumberland coast and countryside. We would definitely stay here again and heartily recommend it to anyone wishing to visit the northeast. It was easy to contact the host and Sara was very friendly and helpful. The only thing I would warn about, it is over 3 storeys, so if you have mobility problems it may not be for you.
Philip
Churchside is well positioned close to the Castle, shops and restaurants. Parking for our second car was easy to find at Pottergate or the longstay car park off Howling Lane. The kitchen was very wellequipped.
Elizabeth
Well situated. Within walking distance of food shops. Good and reliable taxi service to Alnmouth train station
Stephen
Great location for castle and restaurants. Mostly clean house let down with the lack of dusting. Kitchen blinds first floor bathroom smells of mould.
Catherine
Churchside is a great property with fantastic access to the town, shops and Hulne park. The property was very clean, well equipped and the owners were really helpful. We had a fabulous holiday and will definitely be back.
Jonathan
Very well equipped, comfortable, quiet and convenient for the town centre as well as exploring the surrounding area. Hulne Park was a very nice walk with no need to drive. The only tiny snag was the fridge which operated erratically no matter what settings combinations were tried.
Maureen
The house is very warm and cosy and spotlessly clean . We spent most of our time in the snug which is very comfortable and easier to carry drinks into. It is well equipped but a few more mugs would be welcome, we were ok only 2 of us but if there were 4 or 6 we would be continually washing them. It is well situated, very close to the centre of Alnwick and the car space is a bonus. Looking forward to a return visit.
Maintained well, clean all facilities good
Perfect, central but quiet location. Few minutes walk to Alnwivk castle, the shops and restaurants etc. Spacious property. Extremely well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds. Friendly helpful host.
