Churchside is a three-storey terraced townhouse settled in the market town of Alnwick, Northumberland. It sleeps six across three bedrooms and offers two bathrooms. The house has a homely feel and one guest called it warm and cosy with spotless housekeeping.

Alnwick's narrow streets have barely changed since the days of the London-to-Edinburgh stagecoach. The Market Place still holds its stone cross and a Saturday market runs weekly. Shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants sit within walking distance and guests praised the quiet feel of the location despite its central position.

The second floor holds a king-size en-suite bedroom with a walk-in shower, plus a super-king zip-link room that can convert to twins. A twin room on the first floor suits children. Downstairs you'll find a snug with double glass doors onto the patio garden, ideal for morning coffee outside, while a larger first-floor sitting room has leather sofas and a gas fire for evenings in. The kitchen/diner comes well equipped with a dining table and past guests called it "very well equipped" and "extremely well-equipped."

Alnwick Castle sits just a few minutes' walk away and one guest reported castle views straight from the bedroom windows. The castle featured as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. Alnwick Gardens, with Europe's largest cascading water feature, is nearby too. Alnmouth beach is 4 miles away (around 10 minutes' drive) and Hulne Park offers riverside walks reachable on foot from the house. Rothbury lies 10 miles off (about 20 minutes).

Churchside suits couples, families or groups of friends wanting a central Alnwick base with castle views on the doorstep. Off-road parking for one car sits at the rear, handy in a town centre location. Book your stay at Churchside today for a great break in Alnwick.
