  • "Our third visit."

    We love to stay at this house, but, as we said last year, we are a group of older folks and although the settees look lovely, they are very low and deep and it's difficult to get up and down. The venue is well fitted out, beautifully clean and near the beach.

  • "We thought the property was warm, very clean, with extremely comfortable beds & well equipped."

    The bedding & towels were pristine. It's in a perfect location within the village, both for the beach & local amenities. On the down side we felt that the property photos were not recent and the property was a little tired looking. All the venetian blinds were broken & unusable (we noticed that this had been mentioned by another guest a few months ago) We had to stand on chairs/bath sides to manually adjust the slats to let in some light! The main reason for a low maintenance score was that the shower on the second floor was not working and when we reported it to Sykes we found out that it was a known fault and awaiting repair. We should have been made aware of this issue before we arrived as it meant that 4 of the bedrooms had to use the over bath shower which was very difficult to get in/out of. We really enjoyed our time in Lindores and with a few minor improvements the property would be 5*

  • "A really well provided holiday home in a great location."

    We did have one morning with no hot water, but as there was an engineer due to check the new heating system, it was dealt with very quickly. Plenty of comfortable seating for our large party - although those who find difficulty getting out of very low sofas might find it challenging! Dining chairs are always available.

  • "Lindores is a lovely property, clean & well equipped."

    Copious amounts of hot water & comfy beds, nice towels. Ideally set in the heart of Alnmouth and close to all shops, cafes & pubs. Ideal for dogs and walkers. Us being of the older generation found the lounge settees very low and difficult to get out of, a couple of arm chairs would be ideal! The property does say 2 parking space permits but only one on arrival and several phone calls promising us one would be delivered it never did arrive hence having to find a space well away from Lindores so not ideal. Thank you Lindores, 7 + dog had a wonderful family holiday.

  • "I have to say that our experience of NCCC to date has always been excellent but Lindores fell rather short of expectations."

    I guess a bit tired might describe it - and things like there being no hot water in part of the house (until we discovered the pressure on the boiler was 0) and the dishwasher not working effectively and the dryer part of the washing machine not really working didn’t help. Having said that though it is an amazing house, a brilliant location and we did have a lovely time!

    Lindores had plenty of space for all of us. Comfortable accommodation in the centre of Alnmouth close to the beach and shops. Had a great stay and will certainly return again

  • "Second visit."

    Hope to go again. Love the place. Only complaint is that the lovely-looking settees are too low and deep for the older generation to get down and up... particularly up!

    The plumbing let down what is a great let The sinks do my drain well and leave an stale smell The top bathroom sink plug is broken and although I reported it nothing was done The bathroom in the master bedroom on the first floor bath when emptying leaks into the hall soaking bags and shoes The strange step between the kitchen and the scullery caused a couple of trips and it’s warning tape has worn off

    Superb location, right by the beach. Only disappointment was there was only one up to date car parking pass, whilst 3 cars were involved. We coped however. Beautiful property.

The property

A Victorian stone-built terraced house resting in the seaside town of Alnmouth, Lindores is the ideal base for a family or a group of adults looking to explore the coast and countryside of Northumberland.

Begin your day with a coffee in the spacious sitting room, a tasteful space with pale green walls, stylish sofas in green and brown and a fireplace housing a woodburning stove for the cooler months.

The green theme is continued into a contemporary kitchen where wooden flooring stretches throughout and there is a great selection of amenities, and a handy utility, to cater to your culinary needs, as well as a smaller breakfast table.

Enjoy a heart-warming meal together in a light and airy dining room where double doors open up onto the patio, ideal for barbecues and evenings spent with a glass of your go-to tipple surrounded by sunshine and countryside air.

As well as two family bathrooms where you can relax amongst the bubbles, there are five bedrooms set over three storeys, each with their own charm and storage, including a super-king-size with an en-suite, a double and a king-size on the first floor and two twin bedrooms on the second floor.

Alnmouth is a fantastic seaside town with a lot on offer for guests, beginning with the large sandy beach, so why not enjoy a stroll in the salty air or visit the harbour or riverside walks?

Venture into town for a bite to eat, sampling local produce at one of the tasty eateries and you can stock up on essentials at the convenience store, and there is also the option of the Old School Art gallery and England’s Oldest 9 Hole Links Golf course.

Further from the property you will find the town of Warkworth, where there are more pubs, shops and a fantastic castle, as well as the historic market town of Alnwick which is well worth a visit.

Make a holiday to remember with a stay at Lindores.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
