"This was our second visit to Cryer cottage so we knew what to expect."
The location is excellent and there is free parking nearby. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. On the negative side we think it is over- priced. I dread to think what it will cost next year.
-
"Great location."
Everything worked and the equipment was as promised. We had a couple of issues which we have already communicated about with the owner. We were very happy with his response. We really enjoyed the totality of our stay in Alnwick and will return to the area if we can find some spare time in the next couple of years.

"Very comfortable, cottage near to all amenities in Alnwick."
Well equipped kitchen for self catering. 24 hour free parking is just a few minutes away. Great location for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coast. Highly recommended.

"Lovely and clean , well equipped."
Lack of parking was no real problem .
-
"We had a fabulous week in Alnwick."
The location of the cottage was so central, which we loved. Plenty of bars and shops. We visited the Playhouse twice, once for a play and for the cinema, excellent venue. Barter books is definitely worth a visit. Beautiful walks around Caster and Alnmouth. The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable. Thank you so much! Definitely recommend.

"This is our second stay at Crier Cottage."
The cottage facilities were were very good as were the local amenities. Alnwick is a good centre for accessing other parts of Northumberland . Our only downside was the very loud music ( karaoke) from the pub on the corner till early morning on the Sunday.

-
"Lovely cottage, well kept and clean."
Good location and excellent amenities
-
"Superb very comfortable and cosy cottage in the centre of Alnwick."
Cannot fault the facilities or location. Parking nearby with no problems. Plenty of places to eat and drink in Alnwick on the doorstep.
-
"Nice cottage in a handy location for the town centre."
Had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The downside of the location is the occasional passing noise from traffic or passers by.
-
"Great cottage - lovely rooms, comfortable beds, good radiators on the rare occasions we used them."
Alnwick is an excellent base as well; we used the local bus system a lot, visiting nearby towns and villages, but also spent time in Alnwick, which has good pubs, restaurants and shops in addition to the castle and the fascinating Alnwick gardens.
-
"Excellent property with nice welcome pack."
I wouldn't bother trying to park on the recommended street but car parks are close enough.
-
"We had a brilliant week at Crier Cottage."
It had everything we needed and a lovely basket of goodies when we arrived. We did lots of walking and everything we wanted to visit or see was within reasonable distance. Many Thanks for letting us stay.
-
"Criers cottage was a great place to stay, it’s ideal for a couple or a family with a couple of young kids."
It’s very convenient for the excellent Alnwick town centre and therefore can be a little noisy a times, it didn’t bother us at all and I guess if you are looking at booking such a convenient property it won’t bother you either. We will definitely return.
-
"It’s a very comfortable, well appointed cottage in an excellent location."
We had everything we needed. Kitchen was excellent. The only negative I would mention is the towels. After only one use, one of the small hand towels developed a bad smell, a “ sweaty feet” smell. Later in the week a couple of other towels began to smell. It’s very strange as everything else was fine.
-
"Lovely stay at Crier Cottage."
Very clean & very well equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay with nice comfy beds. Close to shops, restaurants & pubs just a short walk away. We had great days out to Seahouses, Amble, Holy Island is a must see & Berwick. Visited Craiser on the way home for the famous kippers. 1st time in Northumberland & would return. Thanks again for the lovely welcome pack.
-
"Crier Cottage was a wonderful place to stay; perfectly situated, extremely comfortable, very functional, pleasantly decorated, and a lovely place to return to each day."
We would definitely consider returning here should we return to Northumberland.
-
"Have stayed at the cottage many times and always have a good holiday."
It is comfortable, clean, good selection in the welcome pack- an ideal base for looking around Northumberland. Only one problem this year, the washing machine didn't seem to be working properly. I left a note for the cleaners and mentioned it in the Visitors book so I'm sure it will be sorted by the owners.
-
"This is the 2nd time we have been to Crier Cottage - 5 years in between."
Just as perfect as before. Very clean & comfortable. Very well equipped. Everything you could need & some lovely touches. The welcome pack much appreciated. Lovely little courtyard out the back. Perfect location right in the centre of beautiful Alnwick. Would highly recommend to friends & family.

It’s a comfortable, well equipped/maintained cottage in the town centre, perfect for our stay
-
"Crier Cottage is a beautiful place and ideally located to explore the nearby area."
We visited lots of places, never having to drive more than 40 minutes to reach anywhere. On arrival the Cottage was spotlessly clean and well furnished with a lovely welcome pack. We found it warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Will definitely return!
-
"Lovely boutique cottage."
The rear courtyard was just wonderful and as the weather so warm we ate all our meals out here. It was a peaceful retreat and the hanging baskets were gorgeous.
-
"What a wonderful cottage!"
We were lucky enough to be able to stay in this warm, clean, cosy and pretty place just before the country was placed in lockdown. On arrival we knew we had made a good choice as the place was clean, fresh looking and just so inviting.. It has all the amenities you need such as a washing machine and dishwasher and a fantastic little outside area. Above all the property is a stones throw away from Alnwick. If anyone feels jaded and needs a pick me up then please give this place a try. We were world weary on arrival and left feeling soothed.

Where you’ll be staying
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.
