Whinney Moor is a stone-built cottage in Denwick, near Alnwick, Northumberland. It sits in a small farm hamlet and enjoys a long view over Alnwick from the property itself. This single-storey cottage has a ground floor bedroom, making it a practical choice for guests with limited mobility. Up to two pets are welcome, so bring the dog along.

Denwick sits in countryside just outside Alnwick and the surrounding landscape is open farmland with far-reaching views. A previous guest called the countryside here lovely and noted that a splendid pub is just a couple of miles up the road. Alnwick town, with its shops, cafes and weekly Saturday market, is only 3 miles away and several beaches sit within easy reach by car.

The cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms. One has a king-size bed, the other a super-king-size zip/link bed that converts to a twin on request. The sitting room has a woodburning stove for cold evenings and the kitchen/diner has bar seating for casual meals. The bathroom offers a bath and a separate walk-in shower. Outside, a large lawned garden with mature shrubs and countryside views is set up for picnics and off-road parking fits three cars.

Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Gardens are 3 miles away (10 minutes) and the castle was used as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. Barter Books, one of the largest secondhand bookshops in Britain, is also in Alnwick. Bamburgh Castle sits along the coast, as does Dunstanburgh Castle near Craster. Longhoughton Beach and Seahouses are both within driving distance and boat trips to the Farne Islands run from the coast nearby.
