  • "The Anchorage is a lovely place to stay."

    So clean, comfortable and well equipped. We have previously booked houses and have been disappointed by cleanliness or state of repair. However, this house exceeded our expectations. It's the best house we have stayed at and we have stayed at quite a few all over the country. It's absolutely lovely! It's so well presented and the finish in every room is to a high standard. Lovely touches, such as a welcome pack full of goodies as well as essentials. It's on a quiet street, walking distance from the town centre, parking on the roadside was never a problem. We will definitely book to stay here again, I'm tempted now as I write this review!

    I can not thank you enough for your review, we work hard to provide the best holiday experience we can for our guests, we too holiday in the uk, and I very much agree some properties can be a serious let down, and they are rarely any cheaper!! I hope you get to revisit Alnwick soon ☺️ Property Owner

    It is very comfortable, clean and well equipped and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. We were genuinely sorry to leave at the end of our holiday.

    Thank you ☺️ what can I say you need to have another trip Property Owner

  • "Such a lovely stay at The Anchorage."

    The very generous welcome pack of goodies set the scene for a fabulous stay. Comfy beds with quality linen and everything we needed in the kitchen. Fabulous view from the rear of the property too. Managed to park easily each evening in the adjoining road. A really quiet location and just a short stroll into town. Excellent base for exploring the area.

    Thank you for your review, glad you enjoyed your stay here in beautiful Northumberland, we do hope to see you again for further exploration Property Owner

    Owners have clearly taken great care in furnishing and the cottage feels homely. Highly recommended!

  • "We really appreciated the high level of maintenance in the cottage and especially the high spec bathrooms."

    Everything was very clean and comfortable. The welcome food gifts were excellent. If only all hosts were so thoughtful! These special touches make a lot of difference and we would definitely book again next time we holiday in the area.

    Thank you for your review, and I do hope we can welcome you back next time you visit Northumberland. We take great care in maintaining our cottage’s as we appreciate your holiday experience is valuable. I agree a little thought goes a long way, the ability to pop the kettle on after a long journey isn’t really an unreasonable expectation, and of course you need something to dunk in your tea!!!

  • "A lovely property which we thoroughly enjoyed."

    Quiet and peaceful, with the woodburner adding an extra bit of cheer. Very well equipped and presented. The welcome pack shows how well the Anchorage is thought through. We'd love to return.

    Thank you for your review I am delighted you and your family had a peaceful Christmas vacation, it is a special time to celebrate with loved ones and the least we could do was ensure Santa paid a little visit!! We would love to welcome you back Property Owner

  • "Fantastic house in a great location - town centre, gardens, castle are all within walking distance."

    We also visited the beautiful Hulne Park. A great base for visiting places along the coast, we got to Bamburgh, Seahouses, Alnmouth easily. Photos of the house don’t do it justice. Spotlessly clean and spacious for a family of 4. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, including an air fryer. Shower is awesome! Super comfy beds. Host really made us feel welcome with a lovely welcome pack and the house was dressed for Halloween which our boys loved. Thank you

    Thank you for your review, I am delighted the boys enjoyed their Halloween treats, and you all had a great holiday and got to visit some of our wonderful areas of outstanding natural beauty, Northumberland is indeed a fabulous destination. We try to create a clean, welcoming home from home experience for our guests, we hope you get to return to our wonderful county. Property Owner

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; 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.
