Alnwick Old Brewery Apartment sits on the fifth floor of a converted former working malthouse, right in the heart of historic Alnwick in Northumberland. The building blends old and new, with striking original features still on show throughout. Sleeps four across two bedrooms and from here you get views over Alnwick Castle and the rolling Northumberland countryside.

Alnwick itself is a proper market town with independent shops, restaurants and pubs all within easy walking distance. A shop sits just 100 yards away and a pub and restaurant are both only 200 yards off. To the east lies a 20-mile stretch of Heritage Coastline, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while the Cheviot Hills roll out to the west.

The open-plan living space is bright and airy, with a kitchen fitted with an electric oven, hob, dishwasher and washer dryer. Bedroom one has a kingsize bed and an en-suite with a walk-in shower. Bedroom two has two single beds and there's a separate bathroom with a bath and shower over. Three pets are welcome, with charges applying and a dog crate available on request.

Alnwick Castle is just a gentle stroll away (5 minutes walk) and served as a filming location for Harry Potter. Alnwick Garden, with its grand cascade waterfall and poison garden, is close by too. Alnmouth station on the East Coast main line is 4½ miles away (10 minutes drive) and the beach lies 5 miles off (15 minutes drive). Golf courses are also nearby.

This is a great pick for couples or families wanting a castle view without leaving town and pet owners will appreciate the flexible policy. Book Alnwick Old Brewery Apartment today for a break packed with history and countryside on the doorstep.
