  • "Really nice little cottage that was comfortable and clean."

    I thought the TV was a bit small considering it was set quite high up over the fireplace but that’s just a minor point. Couldn’t use the hob as we couldn’t work out how to use the controls and couldn’t find an instruction booklet

    Hi Rachel, Thanks for your 5 star review - we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Aln Cottage. We too are desperate for a new TV but having installed a new bathroom and new windows, updated the electrics and decorated, the budget for this year has been exhausted. It’s top of our list for next year though! Instructions on how to use the oven are in the information folder but for future reference you have to turn all 3 controls. Thanks again, Sandra & Matt Property Owner

  • "The cottage is immaculately decorated, clean and comfortable."

    The owner left us some welcoming items in the kitchen which were much appreciated. Downstairs there is plenty of room in the kitchen which is well stocked with appliances, crockery and cutlery, along with a few condiments in the cupboards. Upstairs the bedrooms are large enough with plenty of storage, my only problem was the double bed was too soft for my liking, it will suit others though. The bathroom is well tiled and modern, as for the shower, I could stand under that all day it was brilliant! The location of the cottage makes it very quiet and it is just a five minute walk to the beach. The down side is parking. Alnmouth is a popular location and it is nigh on impossible to get a parking spot close to the cottage if you go out for the day in the car. I had to drive round several times each evening to find a parking spot which ended up to be on Riverside Road. Although it was only a five minute walk back to the cottage, if there were tired children in tow it could be an issue. Alnmouth has several places to eat on Northumberland Street, most of which do takeaways, I can thoroughly recommend Fish & Chips from the Hope & Anchor! All in all though we had a great week and we have no complaints whatsoever about Aln Cottage

    Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review - we really appreciate it. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay in the cottage. Sandra & Matt Property Owner

  • "A delightful cottage right at the heart of this lovely village."

    Clean, well equipped, comfortable and quiet. It's just a shame that Aln Cottage is no longer 'dog friendly'.

    Hi Clive, thank you for your lovely review - we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay in Aln Cottage. It’s with a heavy heart that we have decided not to take dogs any more as we don’t have a garden or enclosed outside space which makes exercising them tricky for our guests. We hope you understand.

  • "Lovely cottage which was very clean, cosy and well kept with all the amenities, bed was a little hard for us but it’s difficult to know which one to get !"

    only other slight problem was that no smart tv which would have been great as the house had internet - would have no problem highly recommending for a couple with a dog.

    Hi Mark, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Aln Cottage. I agree that mattresses are very subjective and so it’s difficult to find one that suits everyone, but I hoped that one with medium tension would suit most people. Thanks for the feedback on the TV - it is on our list to replace as soon as is practical. Thanks again, Sandra & Matt Property Owner

  • "Cosy cottage good use of space."

    Would have liked more plug socket’s.

    Hi Esther, Thank you for your review - we are really pleased you liked our cottage. As the new owners, we are currently looking at ways to increase the number of sockets but it’s proving very tricky in a 200 year old cottage! We hope to have this issue resolved during our winter closure. All the best, Sandra & Matt Property Owner

  • "This is a pretty cottage but it is NOT dog friendly ."

    If the owners do not want dogs upstairs then don't have an open plan layout. We have stated I dozens of cottages and we have never felt so tense and unwelcome. Would be perfect for a dog free couple . We felt so worried that we drove home after a few hours wasting our money

    Dear Gillian, We were really sorry to read your review. We like to think our listing is very clear and accurate - ‘airy open plan living area’ - and our photos confirm this. In addition, our agent is on hand 24/7 to resolve any problems our guests might have. We wish you all the best. Sandra & Matt Property Owner

  • "Beds were awful not one decent night sleep, cheap mattress."

    Bathroom need up date plus an extract fan to prevent black mould. shower head had black deposits of mould, and could do with a detachable shower head for the Mrs to wash her hair separately. Otherwise neat little place.

    Thank you for taking the time to review Aln Cottage. We were really disappointed to read your thoughts on our brand new John Lewis mattress - we found it very comfortable, but suppose everyone is different. Our lovely cleaner has given the shower head a thorough clean, so thanks for pointing that out - it’s not something we would have noticed. We are very excited to be renewing the entire bathroom over the winter. We hope you enjoyed your stay in beautiful Alnmouth. Sandra & Matt Property Owner

  • "Cottage - recommendations to improve the experience for others: 1) more electrical socket plugs in the main bedroom."

    The existing extension lead couldn't reach the other beside lamp, or to the mirror area when using the hairdryer 2) small fixed extendable mirror in the bathroom as the wall mirror is set to far back to be of use 3) additional blankets for use both downstairs (when the evenings were chilly) and/or use for in the bedrooms Information booklet headed up "NorthumberlandCoast and Cottages" made references to 1) use of discounts for local attractions. I contacted and subseqeuntly advised these are only available off season. I suggest (and have emailed but no response) to add a footnote to this information sheet within the property. 2) a garden and a parasol - but we didn't see this and confused us as this was not listed in the booking details. Please ensure inforrmation aligns

    Hi Sheila, thank you for your review. We are the new owners of Aln Cottage and have a programme of renovations planned for the winter months which includes a new bathroom and updates to the electrics/sockets which will address the issues you have raised. As far as blankets are concerned, there are two in the bedrooms, but we will buy a couple for the lounge too. We have asked NCC to correct the information in the guest folder - unfortunately we haven’t seen the new folder as the cottage has been fully booked, but we will check it during our next visit. We think the mention of the garden and parasol is just general information in the folder which doesn’t apply to every property - certainly not ours, as we don’t have a garden!! We hope you enjoyed your stay in beautiful Alnmouth. Sandra & Matt Property Owner

  • "Perfect cottage in a perfect village."

    Aln cottage is as cute as a button with everything you could need, though maybe bring a sharp kitchen knife. Beds are comfortable, the shower is good and hot water is plentiful for deep bubble baths. We really enjoyed hanging out in the light and characterful lounge/kitchen, though we spent most of the day out on beaches or coastal paths. It is a few minutes stroll to the immaculate, golden, sandy beach, which is very popular yet has plenty of room, even at high tide. I recommend a sunrise/sunset paddle when the birds on the estuary and sand banks are calling. Most atmospheric. Parking is a pain, but the X18 bus is frequent from the village and the nearby train station is on the main line to London, Edinburgh and more. Brilliant cottage in a brilliant location.

    Hi Karen, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review with lots of useful tips for future visitors. So glad you liked the cottage and wonderful Alnmouth. I’ll get those knives sharpened as soon as possible!! Sandra & Matt Property Owner
