Alnwicks Loft Cottage is a single-storey holiday cottage tucked into the heart of Alnwick, Northumberland. This period property keeps its exposed wooden beams, vaulted ceilings and open brickwork, giving the interior real character rather than a bland modern fit-out. It sleeps four across two bedrooms and takes up to two dogs.

Alnwick is a market town with a long medieval history and the streets around the cottage are lined with independent shops, cafes and pubs. The surrounding countryside sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so hiking and cycling routes start right on the doorstep. Alnmouth Beach is four miles away and the Northumberland coastline is within easy reach for a day out.

The king-size bedroom is spacious with ample storage and its own smart TV, while the double bedroom is smaller and cosy. One bathroom serves the cottage with a bath, overhead shower and WC. The open-plan living area is light and bright, with comfortable sofas, a smart TV and Sonus-integrated Bluetooth speakers. A bespoke kitchen and dining area complete the layout, good for cooking and hosting family meals.

Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Gardens are both walkable from the front door, so there's no need to drive for a day exploring either. Lilidorei, the world's largest play structure, sits within the Gardens too. The high street is a short stroll away for shops and restaurants. A free car park nearby was noted by one guest to always have spaces, handy if you do bring a car.

This cottage suits couples or small families wanting to explore Alnwick on foot without worrying about parking. With its period beams, central position and easy access to the Castle, Gardens and coast, Alnwicks Loft Cottage covers all the bases for a Northumberland break. Book today for a great stay in Alnwick.
