  • "Such a lovely place to come home to after exploring wonderful Northumberland."

    There’s so much to see, lovely places to eat, mighty castles and magnificent churches. Summerseats provided such comfort, very well equipped and beautifully designed. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.

    Reviewed by Nicola5.0★Oct 2025

  • "A beautifully decorated & an extremely well equipped spacious cottage."

    The uphill unmade track leading up to the well maintained parking area to the side of this hillside cottage detracts from the high standard of this accomodation and this shared access track could do with being improved/properly tarmaced. Overall, it was an ideal base to explore Alnwick and the surrounding area in Northumbria.

  • "Fab cottage in a great location."

    On quite a steep hill but as long as you've no mobility issues it was an easy 10 minute walk into town. Lots of heritage attractions within a 30 mile radius. Would highly recommend the cottage and area.

  • "This is a fabulous cosy property with views of the sea; it is peaceful, furnished to a very high standard and has everything you need for a wonderful stay."

    Its position just a ten minute walk to the centre of Alnwick also adds to the charm and appeal of this home. There is so much to do in this beautiful area, so we were busy all the time out and about exploring, and it was always a pleasure to return to summerseats cottage at the end of the day. We hope to return again very soon.

  • "Beautiful clean cottage fully equipped."

    The only down point is the steep hill leading up to the cottage which is not tarmacked. The surface is very rough and stony. You need to take a good run at it and keep the revs up!

  • "Comments already left with owner in visitors’ book."

    To summarise this was a perfect let both interns of the excellence of the property & its provisions with lots of space, very clean and decorated to a high standard. In addition the town of Alnwick was easily reached on foot & its close proximity to the A1 meant all the county’s attractions were readily accessible.

  • "We drove 400 miles to get to get to Summerseats cottage and to arrive at Hope House Farm after a long day travelling filled us with hope as we entered and observed such attention to detail, beautiful decor, so clean, modern with added touches like the welcome packs, books, games, the amenities we needed and ample parking."

    Lovely fire and a warm home and so inviting. Very thoughtful of you to leave parking permits that we used when parking in the area. Relaxing, peaceful, a place to enjoy calm and stillness, whilst situated in historic Alnwick, and many places of interest to explore. We will be recommending the cottage to our family and friends and look forward to stay again one day soon. Our stay has left us with cherished memories, happiness and joy. Thank you and with much appreciation.

  • "The place is clean and the oven, cooktop, washing machine etc all felt new and very nice to use."

    Lots of windows for light and provide ventilation for clothes to dry. Nice views. A disappointment though is the lack of any handsoap and toiletries. Surely for the price we pay (1,300 pounds for 9 nights), it's not too hard to provide a bit of soap? We were only provided with 2 rolls of toilet paper, which is cutting it quite fine. Only provided with 4 teabags, 3 dishwasher tablets, which all made me feel like the owner is trying too hard to cut down on a little cost.

  • "The cottage was furnished to an extremely high standard, and was in a lovely setting."

    We loved sitting on the patio, enjoying the peace and quiet around us. One wee suggestion, it might be helpful to have a mirror installed as you go out onto the road, as it's a completely blind corner. A very memorable week, thank you, it's truly a beautiful cottage.

  • "The property is modern in a great location with lovely views and only 10-15 minutes walk in to the town."

    A good base for visiting the local attractions, of which there are plenty to choose from! Good instructions upon arrival and beautifully clean. Only a couple of minor suggestions - it would be nice to have hand soap in the bathrooms upon arrival ( we had only bought shower gels with us) and a little more cutlery & crockery would allow for better use of the dishwasher. Overall a wonderful property and we would definitely recommend and look to stay again.

  • "This is a wonderful property and in my opinion, good value for money."

    It was an absolute pleasure to be able to stay there for a week. Just an easy 10 minute walk into Alnwick town centre, and ideally located to explore the delights of Northumbria. This property deserves to be 'fully booked' all year. It is an absolute credit to the owners. I cannot thank the owners enough for allowing us to stay there. Anyone wishing to stay in the Alnwick area should seriously consider Summerseats Cottage.

    A very sincere thank you Chris for your wonderful review. Property Owner

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; for even more excitement, the enchanted world of Lilidorei is also available at Alnwick Gardens, offering seasonal events and plenty of fun for little ones of your group. 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.
