White Feathers is a two-bedroom terrace holiday home right in the middle of Alnwick, Northumberland. The building was once part of Alnwick Castle, serving as a grain store and oat house before it became a shop in the 1950s and 60s. It sleeps three across a king-size and a single bed, making it a good fit for a small family or couple with a teenager. There's an open fire and a woodburning stove for cold nights, with a starter pack for the stove included.

Alnwick is a historic market town with narrow streets that have changed little since the coaching era. A Saturday market fills the square and the town has a strong choice of pubs, cafes and restaurants. Alnmouth beach is 4 miles away and the Northumberland coast makes an easy day trip. Guests often use White Feathers as a base for exploring both the town and the wider coastline.

The living/dining room has a woodburning stove for evenings in. The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering and past guests have called it better stocked than their own kitchens at home. The bathroom is on the ground floor with a bath and shower over. Interiors feature 1960s furniture, retro storage tins and glassware chosen by the owner, alongside an Alexa speaker and a vinyl record player.

Alnwick Castle is a short walk away and was used as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films (0.2 miles, 5 minutes on foot). The Alnwick Garden, with Europe's largest cascading water feature, sits next to it. Bamburgh Castle is 15 miles away (25 minutes by car). Dunstanburgh Castle and Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum are both within easy reach along the coast.

White Feathers suits anyone wanting a walkable base with real character and history behind its walls. Three dogs are welcome, the location can't be beaten for exploring Alnwick on foot and guests keep coming back for second stays. Book today for a fantastic break in Alnwick.
