James
We had a lovely stay! The house felt spacious and cosy, with a kitchen that had everything we needed-even if we didn't cook much. The hot tub was a real treatand the beds were super comfy. Perfect spot for exploring Northumberland and the Lowlands.
Mark
This is a lovely cottage! It's cozy and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The decor is charming and really gives it that homely feel. We loved the little touches everywhere. The garden is beautiful and a great spot for breakfast in the sun. Also, the location is fantastic, close to the shops and beach, which is a real plus. We had a wonderful time and would definitely return! Just one tiny thing, the shower could do with a bit more pressure, but it didn't ruin our stay. Overall, a great experience!
Alan
Our third time staying here and just as wonderful as ever, everything you could possibly need for a peaceful relaxing holiday.
Jane
The property is lovely and finished to a high standard. The location is perfect for easy access from the A1. Alnwick has lots of lovely places to eat and so much to explore all within walking distance. The site has a number of properties and would be great for a large family or friends gathering. The hot tub at the Retreat, where we stayed, isn't covered which meant we didn't use it as we had rain at times. We highly recommend staying at this property!
