Hollys House is a stone-built cottage right in the middle of Alnwick, Northumberland. It sleeps four across two bedrooms, with one bathroom and a modern kitchen. This is a proper market town base, not a countryside retreat, so you get old stone walls with new comforts inside. One pet is welcome here, with charges applying.

Alnwick sits on Northumberland's coast and countryside and this cottage puts you within reach of both. Independent shops, cafés and pubs fill the streets around you and there's a pub within a mile. Fancy a walk instead? Hulne Park has proper countryside trails just beyond the town. The Farne Islands and Northumberland's beaches are also within driving distance for a day out.

Inside you'll find a spacious living area with cosy seating, plus a fully equipped kitchen designed for easy mealtimes. Both bedrooms come with quality furnishings and storage space. Step outside and you've got a private, secure courtyard - a proper spot for morning coffee or an evening drink away from the street.

Barter Books is a five-minute walk away, one of the country's best-known secondhand bookshops. Alnwick Castle and The Alnwick Garden are both around ten minutes on foot and Alnwick's theatre is the same distance. Fancy the coast? The Farne Islands and Northumberland's beaches make for an easy day trip by car.

Couples, friends or a small family will find Hollys House works well as a base for exploring castles, islands, beaches and national parks across Northumberland. With Barter Books, Alnwick Castle and The Alnwick Garden all on your doorstep, you won't need to drive far to fill your days. Book today for a great break in Alnwick.
