"We've really enjoyed our week staying in Nurse's Cottage."
It is so comfortable and clean and is in a great location. We've been to Northumberland many times but this is our first stay in Alnwick. It's been excellent. Adding to previous recommendations - Harry's Bar - real ales and atmosphere. Sonnet - for a very special lunch. Its superb!

"Had a very enjoyable stay."
The cottage was perfect for the two of us and is in a great location., ideal for exploring the area. We particularly enjoyed a visit to Cragside, Alnwick Castle, a coastal walk from Craster to Embleton beach and Bamburgh. Lots of great eating places on the doorstep, we ate out at The Dirty Bottles pub and enjoyed a pizza at Di Dopra. We found some lovely cafes on our day trips out with some very nice cakes. We loved Alnwick and our stay here. Thank you.

"A lovely cottage in a good location near the town."
Good easy parking. Everything we needed was in the cottage. It was just a dream returning to the cottage everyday. Very cosy and beds comfy.

"We arrived to a lovely clean cottage tucked away in the centre of Alnwick, what a perfect location!"
We've had a lovely week visiting Alnmouth, Amble, stumbled across Warkworth whilst driving through and stopped off on our way back - lovely village, great walk along the river bank up to the castle and super gift called "Grays". Took the train from Alnmouth to Edinburgh - got plenty of steps in and walked for miles. Had a great Sunday roast at The Market Tavern in Alnwick and lovely Italian at Cafe Tirreno. Visited "Cook & Barker" at Newton-on-the-moor was a ten minute drive for lovely food. Finished off our week with a walk from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle.

"Staying in Alnwick gave us the perfect base to explore the area."
Plenty of pubs and restaurants in Alnwick to eat in. Nurses Cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need! Set in a lovely part of town. Spending Christmas here the cottage decorated with the lovely decorations was so cosy. We will look forward to also staying in this cottage at a different time of year. Thank you.

"Thank you we've had a lovely stay."
The cottage was exactly what we needed so close to the town but also to the countryside and walks from the door. Can't complain about the November weather as it was better than forecast. We've had a lovely cosy time!

"Great week in Northumberland at Nurse's Cottage."
This is our 2nd stay at the property, lovely comfy, clean, peaceful and love to explore the area. Spent many hours on the coast enjoying the beautiful scenery - great for walking, photography and bird watching. Would recommend a visit to; Embleton Bay, Holy Island, Northumberlandia, Bamburgh, Seahouses (fish & chips).
-
"Lovely week in Nurse's Cottage."
Very comfortable - cosy with everything you could need. Ideal base for exploring Northumberland. Bamburgh castle, Billy Shiels Boat Trip. Craster walk around Dunstanburgh castle all superb. Alnwick castle well worth a visit but maybe leave gardens until spring/ summer for full effect. Barter Books also intriguing on a wet day. All in all a great trip.

"Beautiful, very well-appointed cottage and on our arrival, very clean."
It lacked nothing in equipment. Beds very comfortable. Access exactly as described. The weather was very mixed, but it was a pleasure to stay in sometimes. A credit to the owners!

"Had a lovely stay in Nurse's Cottage - everything provided for, it was warm and cosy on our wet chilly nights and we made use of your games cupboard!"
Perfect location for Seahouses, Bamburgh, Amble and of course Alnwick itself. I lived here for 3 years in the 70s and it's lovely to see it thriving with lots of cafes, bars and shops to support the star of the town - the castle. Thank you

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Nurses Cottage."
It is a lovely place in itself and it is nicely situated in relation to all that Alnwick has to offer. We are extremely happy with our choice and would not hesitate to choose to return to Nurses Cottage. One minor point which the owners might be interested in hearing is that we had to fashion a Heath Robinson style screen out of brown parcel paper ( bought at Wilkos) to manoeuvre into the main bedroom roof light in order to save us from being woken at the crack of dawn by the otherwise unimpeded bright daylight, which we did experience on the first morning. Some sort of blind would be good I reckon.
Hi Kevin. Thanks very much for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at nurses cottage. Your point about the bedroom roof windows has been noted. We have now replaced the windows in both bedrooms, blinds and windows can be electronically operated. Property Owner

"Skylights in the bedroom windows made it very light early in the mornings!"
Hard to 'sleep in'!
Hi Chris. Thanks very much for the feedback. Plans are already in place to replace the windows to electrically operated ones and with electrically operated blinds. Work will be completed in November this year. Property Owner

"My friend and I loved the cottage, and the beautiful courtyard garden."
It was ideal for us. I found the mattress on the single bed I used slightly uncomfortable. My friend found she slipped down the settee when she sat there reading or watching TV. These are minor compared with the joys of staying in Nurses Cottage.
-

-
"Lovely stay in your wonderful cottage, everything we needed was provided!"
! Great little seating area in your lovely little garden and all so close to local ammenities and places to visit around Northumberland. You really couldn't pick a better spot to stay in Alnwick! Bars, restaurants and shops just a few minutes walk away. Also never farther than a half hours drive away from lots of places of interest. Thanks for the stay in Nurse's Cottager, no doubt as some point we will return - hope to see you again soon. Cheers!!

"Fab stay in this fantastic little cottage."
The comfort, cleanliness and facilities were amazing and it made our stay in Alnwick much more enjoyable to have such a lovely place to return after days out. We especially enjoyed the wood burner as some cool nights and was lovely to return and watch TV. The location of the cottage is perfect for all local amenities but also offers peace and quiet. Would love to return.

"Beautiful cottage for our week stay as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 13)."
Perfect location to access so many beautiful places within short driving distance. Alnwick castle and Alnwick gardens on the doorstep, then only minutes away from beautiful coast line, including beach near Warkworth Castle, Embleton Bay near to Dunstan burgh Castle, Bamburgh Castle. We got a train to Edinburgh for the day from Alnmouth train station where parking was free. So many things to see and do on the doorstep. Just needed more than a week to fit everything in. An ideal excuse though for a return visit! Thankyou for the memorable stay.
-
"The cottage was very comfortable, clean and quiet."
It had everything we needed for our stay and was an excellent base to visit lot's of beautiful surrounding tourist sights. Numerous great restaurants within walking distance. The owner was very considerate, contacting us on the first night to ensure we had arrived safely due to inclement weather.
-
"The Nurses Cottage was ideal accommodation for the three of us."
The facilities, decor and rooms were excellent and made for a very comfortable stay. Tucked away behind one of the main streets, the cottage and garden was delightful and the area extremely quiet. We would happily return.
-
"A lovely quaint property in a central location."
Would thoroughly recommend. Excellent
-
"A beautiful cottage in a peaceful setting which is ideally situated just off of Bailiffgate."
The cottage is close to shops, pubs, restaurants and across the road from the entrance to the castle and museum. Also, there is a supermarket a short walk away. We would definitely return as the location is convenient for visiting the area, and parking was never an issue. We had to contact the owner with a query and he was very helpful and easy to contact.
-
"Conveniently located in Alnwick but set back from the road so very quiet and peaceful with a lovely garden to enjoy."

About the location
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.
