“We would definitely stay at Jackson Cottage again.”

The cottage is very well equipped in both the living room and kitchen and the bed was very comfortable. This was by far the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We loved the upside down accommodation and and will certainly miss eating breakfast whilst gazing out of the bay window down to the sea.

The cottage is very well equipped in both the living room and kitchen and the bed was very comfortable. This was by far the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We loved the upside down accommodation and and will certainly miss eating breakfast whilst gazing out of the bay window down to the sea. Finding a parking place was challenging each evening but at least we could use the bus stop directly outside to unload and load at the beginning and end of our stay.

- Mrs Aldridge, July 2021
Ms Marr July 2021

“The cottage is lovely - beautifully furnished, well equipped and very comfortable.”

We loved the fact that you get a sea view from the bay window and there is a wndow seat! As our stay was during covid restrictions, we were very confident with the arrangements in place for a safe stay. Parking can be difficult in Alnmouth and you need to be prepared to drive around looking for a parking space (which are free), but there is a very convenient bus stop outside the cottage for drop off/pick up purposes. If you are planning to eat out, especially in Alnmouth itself, I would strongly suggest booking at least a couple of weeks in advance, same for any places you might want to visit.

“Just parking.”

Mr White May 2021

“I think this is the fourth or fifth time we have stayed at Jacksons Cottage and each time has been an absolute delight.”

The property has always been very clean and well presented and since our last visit has had a new kitchen fitted which is great. Alnmouth its self is a lovely peaceful seaside village with excellent facilities, including a charming links golf course, and is an excellent base for discovering Northumberland.

- Mr White, May 2021
Mr Daly April 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jackson Cottage.”

It's a lovely cottage and has everything you would want for a pleasant stay in Alnmouth.

- Mr Daly, April 2021
Mr Williams October 2020

“A really good local deli just a couple of houses away, a cafe across the street, and the sea or river 100 yards away in 3 out of 4 directions - about an ideal a location as you can get.”

Plus the cottage is very comfortable, warm (we visited in November) and good light.

- Mr Williams, October 2020
Mr Weir September 2020

“This was our second stay at JACKSON COTTAGE, the first being in 2018.”

My wife and I were slightly anxious this time around, given the prevailing Covid-19 conditions, however, the owner put our minds at ease with all necessary precautions in place. We also appreciated the owner's guidance by way of a pre-arrival email along with an extensive list of local and not so local 'Places To Eat'. One final point; we had a spot of bother with a cracked toilet rim; however, the owner went above and beyond to have this replaced on the very same day, fantastic work. Hopefully, my wife and I will return to Jackson Cottage and Alnmouth in the not too distant future and in more settled times. Thank you for offering such superb accommodation. [Sandy & Margaret Weir]

Ms Marston February 2020

“Lovely and warm on a freezing weekend.”

Very easy to access and very comfortable.

- Ms Marston, February 2020
Dr Kara October 2019

“We contacted the owner with a query, shortly after arrival, and she was swift and helpful in her response.”

The cottage is delightful to stay in - we were two adult couples and it suited us perfectly - and its location couldn't be better. We would happily stay there again.

- Dr Kara, October 2019
Mr Wilks September 2019

“We booked the cottage for the first time this time last year on recommendation from a friend.”

as a result we knew all about the first class facilities, which is why we were more than happy to book again this year. Everything about the cottage is first class. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room, excellent bathrooms, except the one bathroom has no shelves to store tooth brushes/soaps etc on. This however is a minor point given the excellence of the rest of cottage. The crowning glory is the upside down nature of the cottage, with the en-suite bedrooms being downstairs and the living room/kitchen upstairs, giving a lovely view of the sea. If we holidayed in the area again, we would certainly book again and would recommend it to our friends.

- Mr Wilks, September 2019
Mr Mclaughlin April 2019

“Absolutely love Alnmouth , the cottage was brill , just what we needed, sitting by the balcony window over breakfast , we were blessed with good weather over the Easter week.”

- Mr Mclaughlin, April 2019
Mrs Critchlow March 2019

“Jacksons Cottage provided us with the perfect base for a weekend get away.”

The cottage was clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The view to the sea from the bay window is beautiful and provides a great place to sit and watch the world go by. Alnmouth has a good mix of pubs and restaurants, and also good public transport links, we took a bus out to Warkworth and walked back along the coast path , stunning! Wish we had been able to stay longer, we really hope to return!

- Mrs Critchlow, March 2019
Mrs Ellison December 2018

“Just spent 3 nights here with friends ,could not fault this cottage at all ,comfortable .”

Very clean, warm ,equipped with everything you could need ,in a central location with lovely views of the high street and sea ,so good we have booked for next year as well WOULD MOST DEFINATLEY RECOMMEND

- Mrs Ellison, December 2018
Mrs Newton November 2018

“Parking nearby was difficult .”

Would be impossible at busy times of year.No toilet tissue provided very inconvenient,excuse the pun.

- Mrs Newton, November 2018
Mrs Mcclymont October 2018

“Very well-equipped cottage in central location.”

Close to the beach and on the high street with a lovely view of the sea from the lounge windows.

- Mrs Mcclymont, October 2018
Mr Weir October 2018

“Jackson Cottage is a rather quaint "upside down' house with 2 bedrooms on the ground floor and an open plan kitchen-lounge on the first floor.”

The cottage is surprisingly roomy, very comfortable and is well appointed with all the bits and pieces required for a home from home. From the seating in the bay-window one has great views of the street below and to Alnmouth beach beyond. Perhaps trivial to mention but it could be important to those with mobility issues; parking or more accurately the lack of a dedicated parking space could be a problem rather than a mere irritation for some people. This apart, we had a marvellous week at Jackson Cottage and it is a wonderful base for exploring the Northumbrian coast. Well recommended.

- Mr Weir, October 2018
Mrs Ricks October 2018

“A comfortable, warm cottage right in the heart of the village, which is what we wanted, it was clean and provided most of what we required.”

Liked the upside down effect as lovely view from living room, although bedrooms were on the dark side. A little disappointed that there was no welcome pack, after a long journey a cup of tea is paramount, milk in the fridge but that was all, we also didn't find the hairdryer til the last day! But overall we had a great week and you get what you pay for!!

- Mrs Ricks, October 2018
Mrs Johnston April 2018

“This cottage is one of the best self catering cottages we have ever stayed in.”

It has everything that one needs when on holiday. The attention to detail is second to none. We have stayed here before and I hope we will stay here again. The surrounding area is great for walking but also well served by local transport. The bus stops right outside the door and serves both North and South coastal towns. We visited Boulmer, Warkworth and Alnwick by foot and Craster and Amble by bus. Pubs in the village are welcoming and serve great food. Also they put on quiz nights. A great venue.

- Mrs Johnston, April 2018
Mr Hirons January 2018

“The location of the cottage provides good access to Alnmouth beach, which is enjoyable, scenic, to walk and take in the sea air.”

Being close to Alnwick and other tourists sites meant we could have a fun and variable holiday.

- Mr Hirons, January 2018
Mr Butt January 2018

“We love visiting Alnmouth, and try and plan a short break at least once a year.”

We have previously stayed in local B&B's and this is our first time self catering here. Jackson's Cottage is in a perfect location, with its sea views from the upstairs lounge, and its close proximity to local pubs and restaurants. The property is very well equipped, very clean and extremely comfortable - a true home from home (once you get used to going downstairs to bed!!)

- Mr Butt, January 2018
Mrs Jarvis December 2017

“I stayed here with two friends over Christmas and we had a magical time.”

We were greeted by two pleasant surprises: first, that the cottage is more spacious and the decor less dated than the photos suggest (the sofas are plain beige now), and second, a Christmas tree. The village was a great place to spend Christmas: pretty (with great Christmas lights) and peaceful, but with some life to it: the beach was thronged with Boxing Day dog walkers and the shop and deli were open Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. We didn't have a car, so this was particularly welcome, as were the coastal walks on the doorstep and the good bus service along the coast and to Alnwick. I had a couple of niggles with Sykes but none with the cottage: we loved it, and hope to come back.

- Mrs Jarvis, December 2017
Mrs Johnston April 2017

“Amazing location .”

So easy to get around by foot and public transport as we did not take the car. Beautiful village and friendly locals. We did a lot of walking and reached some wonderful destinations. Will definitely go back again.

- Mrs Johnston, April 2017
Mr Fitzgerald March 2017

“A lovely cottage.”

Excellent value for money in a great part of the country. The info book in the cottage needs updating but that's a minor quibble.

- Mr Fitzgerald, March 2017
Mrs Holliday February 2017

“The heating boiler is situated in the living room and is so noisy.”

This is the second time that i have slept at this cottoage and it had the same proble about 14 months ago. It does get on your nerves

- Mrs Holliday, February 2017
Mr Thomas September 2016

“A very comfortable cottage with a relaxing atmosphere and access to beautiful surroudings.”

. The bed was particularly comfortable. A good bus service meant there was no need to travel by car if you did not want to and the local beach was to die for. In all this cottage and its locality in Alnmouth had it all. If it was for sale we would buy it!!

- Mr Thomas, September 2016
Mrs Calder May 2016

“A lovely cottage with a fantastic window seat with great views.”

The beds were comfortable and the showers were excellent. The children loved that it was upside down.

- Mrs Rees, September 2013
Mrs Bunce August 2013

“We felt comfortable and at home as soon as we arrived.”

The beds in particular were the most comfortable we had ever slept in, which is where most rental properties fall down. Overall it was a definite 10 out of 10. Excellent, one to remember.
