Lavender Cottage (Bailiffgate) Reviews

Rodney

We had a very enjoyable stay at Lavender Cottage, which was comfortable, clean, well equipped and convenient for the centre of Alnwick. The owners were helpful and friendly when a minor issue arose. We would happily book the cottage again.

We love Lavender Cottage as it has an Aga, It is a cosy well equipped place to stay, close to town, the Castle, the shops and restaurants with wonderful walks but in a quiet secluded setting.

Hillary

The Cottage was lovely and comfortable. We were cosy and warm in late autumn. It is only a very short walk from everywhere and parking outside was never a problem for us. I will book again as it was perfect for us.

Cosy cottage tucked away in the centre of Alnwick with parking. Comfortable and well equipped. Very quiet and lovely area outside for relaxing.

Lovely little tucked away peaceful cottage but still close to shops , restaurantspubs and local attractions

A truly wonderful little cottage right next to the castle. It accommodates 4 people and has a generous supply of useful kitchen utensils and crockery. The kichen houses an Aga, keeping the kichen nice and warm, but it requires getting used to for cooking.alternatives are offered . The games in the cabinet were another extra plus. The property owner provides a parking permit to be returned after the stay for the restricted parking outside the house, but being a touristy street a parking space is not guaranteed at busy time, but we found it easy to find a space later in the evenings. Our family of 4 adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lavender Cottage there was a large, lovely fragrant lavender bush in the small garden

Lavender Cottage is superb. It has all you could require and much more besides. Most comfortable and well equipped. We had a lovely time staying in it and hope we can return sometime.

Carole

We stayed for a full week in May, at Lavender Cottage, for my Birthday. The cottage was just as expected from the website. There was everything we needed for a great time. The location is superb and sitting out in the lovely garden area, was relaxing. It was always cosy to enjoy our evenings. Parking was always available. It is a hidden gem and would return and recommended.

Kerrie-anne

Fabulous cottage. Warm, comfy, inviting, beautiful garden which we utilised on an evening with a glass of wine. Great cooking facilities. Set in a superb little courtyard. Ample parking. Picnics in Alnwick gardens during the day. Restaurants on the evening all of which were superb. Lavender cottage is brilliant!

We loved Lavender Cottage. It was clear that this was a wellloved home, not just a holiday let. The cottage was warm and comfortable and very well equipped. Cupboards were stocked to the point that we didn't need to buy any basics like foil or bin bags. I'd been a bit anxious about parking in the street, but by 5 pm every day, there was plenty of space, as Bailiffgate is permitcontrolled. Our one gripe was the Aga we loved the the fact that it was still cooking after living a very long life, but it took a very long time to cook anything in, as its temperature in the main oven didn't really go above 140 C. We ended up getting back to the cottage earlier so we could get our 3yearold's tea cooking sooner. All in all, we loved the cottage and we were left wishing we'd booked more than 4 nights!

Perfectly situated quiet cottage. Possibly 60m from the castle. Aga was a delight, never having used one before. So much to see in the area. Lindisfarne, Bamburgh, Hawick House and the beautiful gardens of Cragside. A delightful week.

Barbara

Loveley cottage perfect location the only thing I would say that could be ... Loveley cottage perfect location the only thing I would say that could be improved is the cooking facility I think a conventional oven and hob would be better but other than that the cottage is perfect

Pauline

A lovely comfortable and well equipped cottage in a great position in Alnwick. We really enjoyed our stay. Good walks from the doorstep and ideal for visiting the castle and the gardens.

Shirley

I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lavender Cottage. Clean, comfortable, wellequipped, and perfectly located for exploring. We could have done with staying another week and I would definitely like to return. My first experience using an Aga was a positive one and I imagine the cottage would be lovely and cosy in the cooler months. Some lovely pubs and restaurants nearby but you definitely need to book ahead! Thank you

A little hidden oasis. Wonderfully private and yet still right in the middle of things. Beautifully set out, first cottage we have ever been to where we were really reluctant to leave. Already looking at booking for next year.

We were really happy with everything about this cottage. Amazing location, reasonable price, warm and cosy, nice bed, kitchen convenient with good facilities

Well located in a quiet private courtyard but within a short walk of all local amenities and attractions. On street permit parking two permits provided on Bailiffgate. Cosy, quaint, comfortable.

A real home from home. Same squeaky floor boards as our house. Cosy and comfortable would be an apt description. We've had a great time visiting local Castles and restaurants etc. Always able to park on the street outside. Many thanks.

Enjoyed staying in a warm cosy cottage in the centre of town.

Lavender Cottage was the perfect place to stay, it has all you need for a perfect stay. Great location, pleasant outdoor area, spacious and comfortable accommodation. We will definitely be booking again next time we visit Alnwick. The cottage has a wonderful warmth courtesy of the aga and the decor is charming. It is a real home from home.

Loved it . Best one we've stayed in to date.

Lavender Cottage was lovely and I love how it is set in a courtyard. It is in walking distance to Alnwick town centre. Also its well situated to get out and about to see various attractions.

This is a wonderful, homely cottage which we would highly recommend. It is in a central location in Alnwick yet tucked away in its own private courtyard with a sunny spot for breakfast and evening meal.The Aga was fun to use and made the cottage very snug. There was a fantastic supply of local maps and guides, as well as a huge library of videosDVDs for all tastes.The beds were comfy, the hot water plentiful and the kitchen well stocked with everything you might need. A perfect place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lavender Cottage. It&rsquos a lovely property in an excellent location. Very comfortable and homely, it really didn&rsquot feel like a holiday let. Ideal location and great to have garden and parking . Very good instructions left and useful guides to the area. Would definitely recommend to friends and would visit again ourselves.

Really well equipped and comfortable accommodation which is steeped in history. Even the access through a passage to Nurses Yard is like a trip through history. Extremely welcoming with an AGA warming the kitchen as you enter. Wonderfully convenient location in an historical part of Alnwick and in walking distance of the castle, garden and town restaurants and pubs.

A very comfortable character cottage in an excellent location.

We have visited Lavender Cottage several times and have always enjoyed our holiday. The cottage has everything we need and is well placed for exploring the area.

Excellent location, quiet but near all essential facilities. Nearby onstreet parking a real bonus.The property is spacious and well equipped retaining much of its original character.

Lavender Cottage is cosy and comfortable. This was our sixth visit and won&rsquot be our last.

We have stayed at this property several times it&rsquos one of our favourites as it really feels like a home from home comfortable, cosy and very well equipped.

Fantastic cottage, very comfortable.

Property is very homely and in good order. The Information available is very good regarding walks and places to visit.
