Bondgate House is a Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse dating from the 1790s, set in the heart of Alnwick, Northumberland. It's a substantial period property with three floors of accommodation. Original details remain throughout, including floor tiles in the hallway and an ornamental fireplace in the first-floor lounge.

Alnwick is a historic market town with independent shops, galleries, bars and restaurants just metres from the front door. A famous secondhand bookshop sits nearby, good for a coffee break on a quiet afternoon. The Playhouse Arts Centre, with its theatre and cinema, is close by too. Guests describe the position as excellent and the house as very quiet, even being a townhouse.

The house sleeps 12 across six bedrooms. There's a ground-floor king-size room with a wood burner and armchair, plus a first-floor double with an en-suite and French doors onto the garden. A first-floor bunk bedroom suits children and three further king-size bedrooms occupy the second floor, one with a sleigh-style bed and skylights. Four bathrooms serve the house, including a family bathroom and a Jack and Jill shower room. The kitchen/diner has bench seating for 12 and sits alongside a first-floor lounge with a Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker.
