Upper Alnbank Reviews

We loved our weeks stay in Upper Alnbank! The flat was lovely and even with six adults and a baby the flat always felt spacious and light. We were worried about parking beforehand but it turned out to be no problem at all. We always found a space in the street to use with the permit and were always able to park our other cars just a couple of minutes away on the beach road we went in July. As golfers, being able to walk from the flat to the first tee on the Alnmouth Village course in a few minutes was a particular treat! Loved Alnmouth and loved the flat. Thank you!
Really nice place spotlessly clean everything you need and well planned kitchen. As an asthmatic and being allergic to dogs I didnt like seeing a dog mat or dog towels but again they were spotless and towels away and in a sealed bag. be better without them there for people without dogs. Great quantity of mugs. Quick tip for an instant upgradelose the random shop plastic coat hangers and get all matching wooden or felt. Perfect location. Great place
Loved our stay. Our fourth time staying in Upper Alnbank. Its a lovely place, but could do with a few tweaks here and there. The leather sofa is needing replaced and the blinds, which keep getting hooked on the window fittings, really need updating. That said, it has all you need for a comfortable enjoyable holiday. Hope to be back
Gillian
An excellent property which we have visited a number of times.
Gerald
A lovely property with really good furnishings,kitchen equipment, crockery and utensils. Open plan kitchen,lounge and dinining area was a highlight of the property as was the excellent bathroomshower room beside the main bedroom. Property inside was beautifully clean but entrance to property shared with property downstairs needs tidying. Blinds in property tended to stick and need some attention to facilitate easier opening and closing. Double beds were a bit on the tight side if used to sleeping in a king size bed. Parking permit was essential and beware of parking enforcement officers who visited at 07.20 hrs on Saturday morning and issued parking fines!! We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to come back to Upper Alnbank.
A beautiful apartment with all we needed, perfect position with easy access to ... A beautiful apartment with all we needed, perfect position with easy access to the beach, and the bonus of permit parking
Debbie
We had a lovely stay at Upper Alnbank, a real home form home.
We had a very happy time staying in Upper Alnbank. The property is decorated beautifully and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a 'home away from home' holiday. The set up is very dog friendly with a large hall to wipe down and remove the sand before heading up to the apartment. We are regular visitors to Alnmouth and we will be recommending Upper Alnbank as a great place to stay to friends and family. I am looking at dates already for a return visit!
Gillian
A lovely property and we have stayed a few times. Very good facilities I was delighted to see new sofa, it was much needed! Amazing location for beach walks and access to village. I would be very happy to recommend.
Jennifer
We really loved staying in the property, the bedrooms were all comfy, the kitchen well stocked and the heated bathroom floors were a treat! The location is excellent, with the beach just round the corner we really enjoyed our walks here, it helped we were lucky with the weather! The guest book was really helpful for caferestaurant suggestions, and we tried to fit in as many as we could apologies for not adding our own entry, as we up the road before we remebered.
Richard
Our third time staying in this house and second in the upper apartment so you can draw your own conclusions from that! It's pleasing that we can continue to stay here without the owner having hiked the rent unreasonably as some others seem to have done. We feel very home at home here. It is really spacious and comfortable, and unusually wellequipped. Parking now works well since the permit scheme was introduced.
Andrew
It is lovely I do however have concerns about a two sided mortise lock in the main door This worries some that it can be locked from outside effectively locking those inside I. The property from a fire risk perspective also of one was unable to find keys on the inside in event of fire A different lock would be safer It is lovely though
Elizabeth
We have stayed at Upper Alnbank several times and really enjoy our stay at the property. Really convenient and comfortable. Coming back next year.
Hello. Since my son moved to Newcastle weve enjoyed exploring the coast with regular holiday bookings. Im looking for the ideal place to rent. I wish to complain. Firstly, there was a lot of noise from builders vehicles from 7.30am onwards each morning. Secondly, the plug in the first floor bathroom was jammed and the sink didnt drain. I reported the plug to the owner and NCCC but nothing was done. Id taken my 96yearold mother for a short break and these problems were very distressing for her. Please will you offer compensation as we may well book accommodation again in Alnmouth or nearby? Peter Farmer
Upper alnbank really was fantastic for us. The property was alot bigger than we were expecting and was finished to a high standard. Loved the bit in the welcome pack about the ww2 history of the street and building. Also the pictures of the renovation of the property were great.
Excellent property and very well equipped. The location is excellent and the property is very spacious.
It&39s a great property that has everything you need for a fuss free holiday and the fact that it has the 3 floors gives it the feel of a house which is great.
Excellent location with the bonus of on street parking permit. Well equipped kitchen, spacious rooms.
This property was all as the website description excellent overall.
Lovely apartment of a good standard and handy for the amenities and beach.
Well equipped apartment. On street parking with permit. Convenient location.
