    Overall a good experience, perhaps the walls between rooms are a bit too thin?

    Great location close to all amenities, but being a front room on the main road noise is a problem. The bedroom would benefit from curtains rather than blinds to cut out the street lighting to aid better sleep. Otherwise the room was good, but the bathroom is tiny.

    1-night stay in Room 4

    Arrived for a 1-night stay and stayed in Room 4 for 3 adults. We parked directly out front where there is off road parking for 2 cars (please note that the curb is not lowered to access this). Location was quite quiet overnight which I was surprised about! Owners were very friendly and offered advice and leaflets on places to visit! The interior of the room itself was very modern, however my friend noted that the carpets did not look clean and there was a lot of cobwebs. Only downside for me was the insane amount of midges/small flies in the bathroom, both dead and alive, which flew into the main room everytime you opened the bathroom door. The bathroom really let it down, with the shower being on wooden legs but having no cover over the front (not sure if this was where the midges came from) and the latch did not fully close on the bathroom door which meant you were precariously hoping the door didn't fly open when you went to the toilet. Overall for the price it was still a good stay.

    Great for a night in Alnwick

    Stayed one night for an event in the area. The property is a little tired, the walls are thin so you can hear people in other rooms. There is ample parking and the location is great for accessing Alnwick.

    The property was in the perfect location. Very central within a few minutes walk to the central square, restaurants, bars, theatre, shops. Bus stop right outside with the service covering up & down the coast. It was clean & the bed was very comfortable. Toiletries were provided as were tea and coffee facilities. The host was lovely.

    Host excellent and location perfect. Bedding very clean and comfortable bed. Thin wall between the next room. Caffeine free tea & coffee and sweeteners instead of sugar wouldn't go amiss. Shower cubicle a bit dated but on the whole quite a nice room.

    The bed was comfortable, and because we were away from the road, there was little traffic noise. However the walls are very thin, and sound could be heard through them. The bathroom is tiny, and the taps swivel which is a bit annoying. The host was very friendly and welcoming.
