"Our stay was pleasant."

The cottage was well equipped for our needs. It needs a little TLC the bathroom needs attention, there are cracks in the wall. The bath is to high to get in and out of, needs a grab rail. The mattress in the bedroom is uncomfortable when you lie or sit on it you can feel boards. The fridge door in the kitchen needs some attention as it sticks. Reorganisation need for the cupboards in the kitchen so small people under 5ft 4 can access them. Overall it was a nice stay.

"Very comfortable and well equipped cottage."

Located centrally in Alnmouth & we found it very quiet (it was low season). Great to have off street parking - a real bonus in Alnmouth. Thanks to Nikki and the team at Northumbria cottages who responded very quickly to the problem we had with the wood burner. Looking forward to a return visit to Alnmouth & Martin’s cottage.

"We had to reduce the time we spent at Martins Cottage due to ill health."

On arrival it was a cold night and though a starter pack for the fire was advertised the first thing we had to do was buy some logs. The mattress on the bed was just like those in the cottage next door where we have also stayed we zero support and like before would no doubt have ended with a bad back. Sofa wasn’t very comfortable either. Overall the cottage is well equipped, clean and with freedom to have heating on as desired comfortable but the bed situation like next door means we won’t be rebooking.

"A lovely, well appointed property."

It was warm and clean and was like a "home from home". The owners are very friendly and having them live close by is an asset. We did struggle with the new door key however as it was very difficult to use until it was oiled and it was becoming more stiff as we left. We can't wait to return in March 2024 and May 2025!

"Think the heating needs looked at."

Unless radiators turned right down, the heating was coming on at about 2am. Not a great fan of the door, very hard to open and close, maybe a bit of WD40 otherwise a nice stay as always.

"We really enjoyed our stay in Martins Cottage as it is extremely comfortable, well maintained and beautifully furnished and equipped and the garden was delightful."

It benefits from having parking nearby and is in an ideal location for exploring Alnmouth and the surrounding areas. I would strongly recommend Martins Cottage and can't wait to return.

Martins cottage was perfect for us as on one level, clean, well equipped even a welcome gift. Close to restaurants, shops, and pubs. Easy walking to countryside and beach areas.

"The only thing we could have done with was a small set of steps."

Some shelving very high and a bit wobbly standing on one of the chairs. Otherwise everything good and we hope to stay again.

"The cottage was pleasant, well equipped and in a good location."

Good bath. Nice log burner but no logs on arrival which was disappointing. Also no salt and pepper which I would consider a standard requirement. Had to go out and buy a few basics, difficult to know in advance what will be there when you turn up. Info said shoe rack and slippers provided but they weren't there and although quite obvious where the (very pretty) garden was it would have been nice to have been told!

"Lovely comfortable,very well maintained and homely property in a very central position."

The added bonus of parking and a delightful shared wall garden meant my holiday was perfect.I apologise for misreading the parking space ,as I thought I needed to park parallel to the other cars not the wall and I hope it did not create too many problems for others.Shirley Crook

"The cottage is lovely and is used throughout the year."

Regular checking of the facilities should be checked including the microwave. We contacted the office regarding the rug and crockery. The owner responded immediately. We were very happy to stay there and have enjoyed staying there in the past. Very central for all the facilities the village offers. Beautiful area. Missing it already!

The property

In the heart of the charming town of Alnmouth in Northumberland, Martins Cottage is a delightful, single-storey cottage which offers the ideal destination for couples looking for a romantic bolthole.

Having been tastefully renovated, the property boasts a wealth of attractive features such as a vaulted ceiling, a contemporary woodburning stove, tiled flooring and décor in cool, calming hues, which all add up to create a really welcoming ambience.

You can imagine kicking off your shoes, taking a seat on the comfy sofa in front of the woodburning stove and relaxing into your holiday.

When tummies start to rumble, step into the kitchen which is fully fitted with everything needed to produce romantic meals for two and you can take a seat at the elegant dining table and enjoy long and leisurely meals together.

The beauty of the accommodation being all on one level is that it’s easily accessible, so not far to stagger to bed where you’ll find a sumptuous king-size bed waiting for you to sink into it as well as a TV, so you can indulge in some chill-out time while enjoying your favourite telly!

The spacious bathroom is a great space for a long, relaxing soak in the bath or a quick dip in the shower.

Either way, you’ll be refreshed and raring to go in the morning and vibrant Alnmouth is within a short walk where you will find a good selection of shops and eateries as well as a golf course and miles of sandy beaches.

Take a short drive to Alnwick, famous for its castle and gardens, or drive a little further to attractions such as Hadrian’s Wall, Howick Hall and Gardens, Dunstanburgh Castle and Northumberland Country Zoo.

Take a boat trip over to the Farne Islands where you might catch sight of an unusual bird or seal.

If you love wildlife, then you’ve come to the right place with RSPB reserves at Annstead Dunes and Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre.

Activities worth having a go at while you’re here include golf at Alnmouth Golf Club, horse-riding at Slate Hall Riding Centre, surfing at Bamburgh Castle Beach and sailing at Beadnell Sailing Club.
