Is Novelists Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
This cottage suits couples rather than families with young children. There's no hot tub or garden play space and the mezzanine bedroom has a low barrier suited to adults. Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Garden nearby do offer family activities, but the cottage itself works best for adult guests.
For Couples
Two king-size en-suite bedrooms give couples privacy and comfort, while the double-height lounge with original Georgian windows adds real character. Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Garden sit within half a mile, perfect for a day out together. Come back for an evening meal at the excellent pub just five minutes' walk away.
Pet Friendly
Novelist's Cottage allows up to two dogs to stay with you. A private lawn section outside gives your dogs space to potter about and the town centre location means walks around Alnwick are easy. Note there's no garden fence mentioned, so check details before letting dogs roam freely outside.
