  • "Good location, all amenities in walking distance."

    Plenty of free parking nearby. Clean and spacious property. Comfy beds (the single bed approved of by a fussy 14 year old!).

  • "We had the best time at the cottage."

    It was our favourite stop on the roadtrip and we would definitely come back! Alnwick was lovely with amazing pubs and perfectly located for exploring the area. The cottage was lovingly furbished with great attention to detail. A special thanks for the great books about the area on the shelves. We took a lot of inspiration from them!

  • "It’s obvious that the owner of White Feathers has put a lot of effort and thought into making this small home very comfortable."

    It was great that it was an easy walk to the town centre. We were able to find parking on a nearby street without a problem. The road outside the house was busier than we expected but died down at night.

  • "Second stay at this lovely property."

    The location is perfect, just a short walk into the centre of Alnwick where there are lots of great places to eat and drink. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for your stay. Super comfy beds with plenty of space for storage and lots of coat hangers in the wardrobe!! The bathroom is very spacious with a bath/shower. Great to have the option of either. This cottage feels like home from home with thoughtful and interesting arty touches to the decor. A great base to explore Alnwick and the surrounding area.

  • "A lovely little house in a fabulous, very central location."

    The pay off for this was significant traffic noise - but easily remedied with ear plugs. Cosy, warm, well equipped with everything you could need. (Even an Alexa!) The drive was very narrow (stated in the property info) and is a thoroughfare for residents in houses behind the property. I decided to park on a nearby street, plenty space available. Beds were comfortable. Pillow was too high and solid for me but then found softer lower ones in wardrobe. They had it all! Bathroom is downstairs so not ideal if mobility issues. Only suggestion would be to provide rubber gloves for washing up (as there is no dishwasher). Had a wonderful stay and was easy to explore locally and get out to the coast. Would definitely stay again

  • "Lovely stay at the property ."

    Had everything that we needed and was very central . Easy to explore the town and the Northumberland coast is only a short drive away ( we did this to a different part daily ) . Parking was easy in a nearby Carpark that was free . ( we were in a large vehicle so couldn’t get on the drive ) . Only small thing for us was that there wasn’t really a garden for our dog . We could let him out on his lead though . This was our error though as we didn’t look properly ! Would definitely recommend and would come back to stay at this property.

    The kitchen was better equipped than my own! It's centrally located with everything on the doorstep. I can highly recommend Leo's Thai restaurant around the corner on the main street. They also do takeaway, I've left a menu in the kitchen draw.

  • "Another fabulous weekend break at White Feathers."

    As always, the house was immaculate and welcoming on arrival. We had a few very peaceful nights, enjoying the beautiful wood burner and all the property's amenitites. It is so conveniently located in the centre of Alnwick it's now our go-to place for a UK weekend break to kick back and recharge the batteries. The town is charming, full of old, friendly pubs and great eateries. The market on a Saturday in the market square is worth a potter and we did a lovely 7km circular walk taking in the sights of Alnwick. We rounded off our trip with a delicious dinner at the impressive Tree House restaurant and a walk in nearby Alnmouth to enjoy the beach and sea air. I can't recommend this place enough, it's a wonderful property to enjoy some down time. The decorative touches and quality linen and towels are the icing on the cake. Thanks White Feathers, we'll be back again soon.

    Had everything we needed. My daughter and I had a lovely week away. Would recommend it . And may even come back again.

  • "I had a lovely, peaceful weekend break at White Feathers, my second time staying in this beautiful house."

    I love the design touches in the house, from the retro storage tins, the beautiful glassware and the 60s furniture, it's all been thought through by the owner who obviously has an eye for interiors. The bed was really comfy and I had a great nights sleep both nights I was there. The house is perfectly located for all the amenities of Alnwick town with it being just a couple of minutes walk to all of the great shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants this bustling market town plays host to. I will definitely be booking again, thanks White Feathers!

  • "Generally good, only points would be potentially trivial, the buses and HGV’s have to pass directly by as the road is the main road effectively as they can’t go the other way due to height of the town gate at Hotspur Tower, so take your ear plugs."

    No bath mat in the shower, it’s over the bath and is fine but the bath is very slippery. Sykes were appalling in their service prior to us going as we had to change our dates and could not get anyone there to respond to us, that was shabby but not the property owners fault. The location of the property was great.

  • "The property is very very comfortable and homely."

    Ideally located within easy reach of the town centre, shops restaurants and bars. Only thing I can think of that would improve the property is the shower, pressure not great hot and cold and had to dance around to get wet

  • "Visited for a week with our 4 year old & dog."

    Very nice clean & comfy cottage with easy access to Alnwick & lots of the surrounding areas. Well equipped to make a meal at home & some good takeaways just a short walk away. The only thing my husband & I found we didn’t get along with was the master bedroom bed being quite uncomfortable - mattress hard & lumpy, pillows very firm - I appreciate this is a very individual opinion so difficult to please everyone. Lovely touch’s with the welcome gifts & supply of hand & washing up soap/liquid.

  • "A lot of care seems to have gone into the design of the house, partifularly the provision of umbrellas, hot water bottles, torches etc."

    We found the lack of water pressure meant we couldnt use the bath and you are probably not aware of a pair of scissors are not available, presumably gone missing! All in all a well thought out cottage at a reasonable price.

    It's great to hear that our little touches haven't got unnoticed. And rest assured, there'll be a replacement pair of scissors in the drawer right away. Thanks for the heads up! Property Owner

The property

Set in the historic, market town of Alnwick, Northumberland is White Feathers, a delightful, two-bedroom cottage.

Just a stone's throw away from the town's amenities and attractions, including the impressive Alnwick Castle, White Feathers offers a homely base for three guests with their furry companions in tow.

Formerly part of Alnwick Castle as a grain store or oat house, this terrace holiday home has a rich history in a now-bustling town; going back to the 1950s and 1960s, White Feathers even operated as a shop serving the local community.

Unload your belongings and head indoors to make yourself at home.

Be greeted by a lovely living/dining room where you can unwind after a day of adventure with the woodburning stove rustling in the backdrop.

The kitchen is well-equipped for a self-catered stay, where you can prepare delicious meals, ready to be enjoyed around the dining table.

Once the sun sets, catch some rest from either the king-size or single beds, awakening to a refreshing shower in the bathroom.

On your doorstep, be spoilt for choice when stocking up on the essentials and dining out, with The Market Tavern Steakhouse and Lodge, Alnwick Market open every Thursday and Saturday, and a plethora of cafes and pubs to select from.

For attractions, be sure to tour both the castle and Bailiffgate Museum, finishing off with a stroll alongside River Aln or around The Alnwick Garden, ending your day with a tipple at The John Bull Inn pub.

Heading towards the coast, both Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum and Dunstanburgh Castle are ready to be toured, ideal for history buffs, or head north to explore Bamburgh, its seafront castle and the stunning Northumberland Coast AONB.

With the Northumberland National Park within reach, there's plenty to see and do in the area, all starting from White Feathers.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

ALNWICK

Alnmouth 4 miles; Bamburgh 15 miles; Rothbury 10 miles.

The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
