Is The Old Sweet Shop Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Children get plenty of entertainment at The Old Sweet Shop with board games, toys and books for various ages. Two Smart TVs with DVD players provide screen time options. The spacious dining room includes a dedicated play area. Three bathrooms mean less waiting around. Alnwick Castle and The Alnwick Garden are within walking distance for days out.

The property lacks typical romantic features but offers comfort and a central location.

Pet Friendly
