St Aidans Reviews

Yvonne
We can recommend St Aidan's highly! 5 bedrooms, all immaculate. The house is large enough so we didn't feel on top of each other, lots of space. 10 minutes walk into Alnwick, little shop on the doorstep for urgent supplies. Will be back next year.
The house was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped and in a great location for exploring Alnwick and surrounding areas. The hot tub was a bonus, as were the two downstairs bedrooms for those with mobility issues. Some minor issues need addressing but despite this, we had a lovely week in a beautiful house. Just a few small improvements and it would have been perfect.
The property is in a great location has great potential and could be a superb stay with a bit more care and attention. Unfortunately, our experience was let down by several maintenance and cleanliness issues that should be addressed. On arrival, the expected starter pack including logs, dishwasher tablets, and bin bags was missing, and although ground coffee was provided, there was no cafetire to use it with. The lounge floor had drink splashes and food debris, particularly under the large table stool which hadnt been properly cleaned. The space also felt dusty and in need of a deeper clean. There were several maintenance issues throughout the house a nonfunctional lamp in the downstairs back bedroom, a broken toilet roll holder, and a dirty toilet around base in the ensuite of that same room. The kitchen patio door was broken and had to be left open, which is far from ideal for security. Additionally, the patio heater lights didnt work and the back gate didnt feel secure. While the bathrooms looked stylish, most of the showers unfortunately soaked the floor when used, suggesting poor drainage or design. The beds throughout the property although comfy felt too short, which affected comfort. Overall, the finish of the house needs attention. With better upkeep and some basic fixes, it could be a fantastic place to stay but in its current state, it falls short of expectations for a 5 star property.
Barbara
Very well equipped house! There were ten of us and we loved it! All of us had comfortable and clean beds and bedrooms! We sat comfortably in the evening! Some games supplied! The hot tub was cold on arrival so we couldnt use it until later the next day when it was lovely!
We were really pleased with our stay. There was a lovely welcome pack with treats and essentials. The beds were very comfortable and the house was well furnished and equipped. We would definitely book again
Excellent property, spacious clean and very well equipped. Couldnt think of anything we needed that wasnt already there. The hot tub was well used and the patio area was well equipped with plenty of tables and chairs plus the barbecue. The dog also enjoyed the garden.
Had an issue with the hot tub which was fitted after a message to the owner, ... Had an issue with the hot tub which was fitted after a message to the owner, brilliant house with so much room, lovely welcome package of coffee, tea etc loved it from ages 2 to 85 with dogs too
Such a beautiful house equipped to a high standard and such attention to detail. A perfect holiday home for a group of people. The beds were the most comfortable we've ever slept in and plenty of bathrooms as well. A lovely big garden with good outdoor furniture, the use of a BBQ and a lovely hot tub.
The house was lovely and as described. Plenty of room in the house and garden. Lots of seating both inside and outside, plus BBQ and hot tub. Beds were comfortable. A great base for visiting other places in Nothumberland. Entrance to the parking is narrow but we got 3 cars on the drive. There is lots of parking available on the road directly outside the property. A property I am sure we will revisit as there is still so much of the area to see.
St Aiden's is a wonderful property, beautifully presented, spacious and very comfortable. In so many ways it was ideal for our group of 9, as a base to walk the coastal path. It is very well positioned in the lovely town of Alnwick and close to the gorgeous coastline. However, we had to call three times as the toilet in the upstairs front bedroom was blocked. Also we needed to call as the hot water stopped in the main part of the house. This second issue was easily fixed but I see that a previous review has commented on this. One or two improvements and St Aiden's would be absolutely outstanding.
Barbara
Wow what a fabulous cottage one of the best we have ever stayed in and weve stayed in hundreds! Beautifully furnished, fabulous dog proof garden, so well equipped, quiet but just a short walk into Town. Cant recommend highly enough.
We had a problem with the boiler loosing pressure the response to our call was quick and we were told where to find the key for the locked cupboard so we could fix it. This had obviously happened before as there were some instructions inside so perhaps needs a check. Also both bins at the property were over full so had obviously not been collected. We put the recycling out when we saw others on the street so perhaps needs instructions to place outside the property for collection. These things were a nuisance but did not affect our enjoyment of the property and holiday.
The property is first class, the rooms are delightful clean & beautifully furnished, there is every facility you could wish for, probably the nicest we have ever stayed at. We were lucky with the weather but had a fantastic time it is a beautiful area
Jennifer
Lovely clean and comfortable house in a convenient location, 10 minutes walk from the centre. Ten of us enjoyed a great long weekend so much to do in the area eating, drinking, shopping, walking. Loads of lovely eating places in Alnwick including Leo's, Melvin's Cafe and Barter Books a must anyway. We all recommend and hope to return.
Sophie
The property was perfect and felt so luxurious! We were celebrating our 30ths as a large group of 5 couples with 3 dogs and a baby! and we all had plenty of our own space. Having the pet shower and blankets downstairs really made it easier with our furry friends. The only thing I would add is a few more cleaning products for the kitchen, some spray and cloths for the kitchen surfaces would be really handy. Other than that the kitchen was well equipped for a big group!
We all had a fantastic weekend at this beautiful house, only one recommendation, ... We all had a fantastic weekend at this beautiful house, only one recommendation, more toilet rolls please, would love to come back next year, thank you Sue Webster and family xx
Ayesha
This is one of the nicest homes we have stayed in! Lots of space for 9 of us, amazing facilities. The home had everything we truly needed. We loved it and would definitely recommend. The location was great as well.
We had a very enjoyable stay at St Aidans. The house is extremely well equipped and in a super positioned for exploring Alnwick on foot and further afield by car. We can highly recommend the house for families and groups of friends alike there's stacks of space both internally and externally and the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The only thing which could have improved the stay would have been another few days. We may well be back in the summer so we can take advantage of the super garden.
