Nurse's Cottage Reviews

Stuart

The cottage was fantastic. .everything you need is here and the location was perfect. We Loved the cozy feel with local pubs and eateries within walking distance with the added bonus of Alnwick Castle only at the end of the street. Definitely be back

We had a wonderful seven night stay at Nurse's Cottage. It is a very quiet location, but still so close to attractions, restaurants and pubs. With a car it is also conveniently located to so many activities in Northumberland. A parking pass is provided, and we never had trouble finding a spot on the street.

Tracey

What an amazing cottage ! Fantastic location to Alnwick centre with varied facilities on your doorstep. Parking permit an asset whilst there and always got a space. Cottage was everything and more , a secret haven of lushness , with everything youd think of that you need on holiday. Definitely recommended find .

Good position and well presented. On street parking was not a problem. Easy walking distance to pubs and restaurants

Andrew

What a lovely cottage very well equipped despite the compact nature of the property. Everything worked fine, exceptionally presented and clean. If I had two considerations they would be the parking situation isn't always ideal we sometimes had to park down the road, but that is clearly explained in the property details to be fair, and I might recommend updating the single mattresses. But very much enjoyed the stay, lovely location to explore Alnwick and a nice touch was the Sykes colleague checking the properly before we arrived which was appreciated. Highly recommended.

Barbara

Such a delightful cottage. A great find nestled in a quiet corner of Alnwick yet really close to all amenities of the town. From the quality bedding and large bath sheets, to the surround sound system and satellite TV, Nurses Cottage has everything you could possibly need for as holiday let. Attention to detail was first class. Owners were extremely helpful before and during our stay and fixed a small plumbing issue within an hour. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

A really stunning cottage as were all the facilities. The WiFi and tv apps were a good plus. We had no problem parking just outside, so the parking permit was a bonus. A very short walk into town. No hesitation in recommending it.

Malcolm

The bathroom was called a bathroom. Not enough pictures of it but it was a bathroom. It had no bath. Which I thought it did for my wife. Shower was fastened to wall so she could not use it. Rename to shower room. With toilet. And shoe whole room not just shower. Thats my only gripe.

Alison

Brilliant stay at this little gem of a cottage. Walking distance to the town centre, the castle and all the eateries and pubs but a little oasis of calm once you step into Nurses Yard. Theres everything you need in the cottage and its so comfortable and well maintained that we will definitely be revisiting soon.

Jennifer

Property was exceptionally clean and well stocked. Towels and bed linen high quality. Lovely internal and external spaces and brilliant location for exploring Alnwick and the wider coast and countryside.

We had a lovely stay at Nurses Cottage, a great cosy 'home from home'. Had everything you needed and loved the wood burner. Clean, comfortable and in a super location, quiet and secluded. Loved exploring Alnwick and the Christmas decorations were wonderful as were the different shops and pubs! Visited the garden lights which were spectacular. Hope to be back soon and stay here again

Joseph

An outstanding cottage very cosy, extremely clean and well equipped. The location is brilliant just a couple of minutes from the centre of Alnwick but the cottage is perfectly quiet being set back from the road. The owners really went the extra mile, leaving presents for our two sons we were staying over Christmas and responding rapidly to any queries that we had. We will be back and recommend it to any couple or family with 12 children. Joe and family

Kerrie-anne

The most gorgeous cottage we have stayed in. Attention to detail is amazing. Friendly and courteous hosts. Perfect setting. We will be back.

Cottage is well equipped and very clean. Quiet location but only a short walk into town. Was lovely to have the garden as well. Owner could not have been more helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

Jacqueline

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Nurses Cottage. We stayed there with my 89 yr old motherinlaw so the fact that it was all on one level and that we could park the car directly outside on the road was perfect. The living areas, bedrooms and bathroom were all very comfortable and the kitchen was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again when returning to Northumberland.

Great location, nice and clean.

We've had a wonderful week staying in this beautiful cottage, which is so comfortable. Alnwick is a great place for touring the local area and for places to eat & drink. Barter Books is a must visit in the old railway station and the bacon rolls in the cafe are a must. We visited the living museum at Beamish, which was so interesting, Cragside, Holy Island and various other lovely places. We would definitely like to come back to Nurse's Cottage to explore the places we didn't see this time. Northumberland is such a beautiful are especially the coast.

Just as good as it was last year. Pity the weather was not of the same standard.

Patrick

A beautiful little cottage in a great location. The host Glen was really good at communicating and I couldn't recommend enough. Will be back and hopefully the cottage will be available again.

Stella

The hosts were very helpful and friendly. The cottage was very clean, modern and peaceful, but really close to the town centre and castle. There was a beautiful little garden to sit in, which was well maintained. We wish to visit Northumberland again as it so beautiful and will definitely book Nurses Cottage again as we really enjoyed our stay there.

We've had a lovely stay in Nurse's Cottage. really comfy with lots of character and a superb location. Visited Dunstanburgh Castle, parked at Craster for easy walk in full view of the castle. Worth going in views are superb. Also visited Alnwick Castle great plus walk along river bank, and Bamburgh but busier but amazing setting Ate at Sher Khan excellant and Market Tavern excellant too!

Beautiful cottage, a perfect peaceful and restful few days. Great location in a lovely little town, couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much.

Perfect setting for our holiday with everything we needed. I particularly loved sitting and reading in the pretty courtyard garden. Helpful owners. If we return to the area we may well try and book this cottage again.

Such a lovely cottage! We really enjoyed using the log burner. The weather has been gorgeous and we've had some great beach walks. The highlight was seeing a pod of dolphins near Craster. Alnwick Castle gardens are stunning and we'd love to come back in April May to see the cherry blossom and summer to see the roses. We particularly liked the atmosphere and beer! at Harry's Bar and enjoyed a lovely meal at Efe's Turkish Grill gorgeous freshly grilled meals and a very warm welcome.

Couldn't think of a better place to stay for our first visit to Alnwick! We absolutely loved our stay at Nurse's Cottage! The Location is perfect. The owners were very helpful. Thank you for our welcome gifts and New Year decorations.! The cottage us very cosy and in the perfect location. We ate at Dirty Bottles and would highly recommend! We will definitely be back in the near future. Thanks for a perfect little getaway! Our favourite places to eat The Market Tavern. The Jolly Fisherman. Dirty Bottles. The Horse Shoes Inn.

Tabitha

Beautiful property in the perfect location. Hosts were really helpful and friendly and everything about arrival etc was super easy too. The cottage was really clean and modern and had all the amenities we could possibly need. We would definitely consider visiting again and will recommend to others thinking of visiting the area! Thanks again for a lovely stay.

Such a lovely cottage. We were very thankful for all the wood for the fire as we stayed in most of the time due to the storm. Would definitely recommend.

It was a lovely quiet location but close to the town centre. Perfect in all respects. My one very very slight gripe relates to the arrival and departure times. Arrival after 4.00 seems rather late and departure by 10.00 seems slightly early. For example , we are away next week in another cottage and the arrival time is 2.00 and we do not have to leave until 11.00 which seems more reasonable.

Joanne

This beautiful little cottage is tucked away in a peaceful corner of Alnwick. All the delights Alnwick has to offer are within walking distance. The interior of the cottage is of a high standard, the log burner a great addition and the underfloor heating in the bathroom is wonderful on a cold morning. Cosy bedrooms, a kitchen that has everything you need, including lovely little treats to.enjoy, all made our stay in this cottage one of the best we've had!

Carolyn

This is a lovely cottage,perfect for four people. The standard of comfort is really high and it is quiet and peaceful.Parking is on the street with a permit and we had no problems. The location is very central and Alnwick is a fascinating and variable place,including the castle and the beautiful gardens.

Pretty cottage in convenient location for the centre of Alnwick. Very well appointed and good use of space in this cosy cottage. Minor problem quickly sorted. Good centre for access to stunning castles and good eating places.

Lynsey

Lovely clean and comfortable property. There was very little we needed to supply ourselves, which made for a relaxing break. The hosts were very responsive, gracious, and helpful. We would definitely stay in this cottage again.

Michelle

Nurses's Cottage is a lovely cozy Cottage, with so many Places to visit from the doorstep, a permit for parking included never had a problem with finding somewhere to park. Owners available if you need to contact them Milk & Biscuits on arrival thank you for that!!! Many places to eat but make sure you book!! Supermarkets in walking distance too. Thank you Glen for such an amazing Cottage to stay in.

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at the Nurses Cottage. It had everything we needed and was comfortable and cosy. It is tucked away in a small courtyard but very close to the castle and the town centre, but at the same time was very quiet. Next time we visit Alnwick we will be booking the cottage again. Thanks Glen and Corrine.

One of the best cottages we have ever stayed at. Cannot fault it. The whole visit has been a delight, even the weather at the start of our visit could not spoil things. Have made many visits in the area whilst here but there is still more to see. Would recommend Barter Books if the weather is doubtful, also Caffe Tirreno and The Market Tavern for meals.

Lesley

Nurse's Cottage is a hidden gem! It was the perfect place for us. The cottage garden is an oasis of calm on a sunny evening after a long day as a tourist. The cottage provided everything we needed and the hosts ensure you feel welcome.

Wonderful little cottage. Immaculately clean on arrival. Super location. Would thoroughly recommend

Anthony

Lovely little cottage had everything that you needed, home from home. Situated in a little courtyard with a pretty little garden. Close to Alnwick town centre and the castle. Good pubs nearby and restaurants.

A really enjoyable stay at Nurses Cottage. Very clean and great amenities. Really good location. Places to visit, Cragside, Seahouses, Edinburgh by train only an hour Kielder Observatory but need decent weather as drive back a bit hairy late at night and observatory roof doesn't open in the rain
