Alnwick Castle
0.5 miles

Novelist's Cottage sits in a handsome stone building that was once a school, right in the centre of Alnwick, Northumberland. The conversion keeps original Georgian school windows and sash windows throughout. Inside, a double-height open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner with a vaulted ceiling forms the heart of the cottage. It sleeps four across two bedrooms and suits couples well, though two dogs are welcome too.
Alnwick is a market town with a cobbled marketplace just 350 metres away. The town gives easy access to the Northumberland coast and countryside. Alnmouth, with its sandy beach, is 4. 5 miles off and Amble, 9 miles away, offers boat trips to spot puffins, terns and seals.
Both bedrooms have king-size beds and en-suite shower rooms with WCs.
