• "We had a lovely homely stay at the cottage."

  All the facilities were available. We enjoyed staying in a comfortable environment with family. We appreciated the welcome hamper. Only a couple of areas for improvement - the whirlpool bath didn't work but I don't think that was specifically advertised in the description, but it was a disappointment. Parking a large car at the front of the house was quite nerve wracking but we parked at the back of the house sometimes, where there was more room, so there was no real issue. The cottages location enabled easy walking access to the nearby town of Alnwick and its facilities. It was a good base to drive to other attractions in the Northumberland area. I'd definitely recommend the cottage to other visitors.

  Hi Gwynneth and thanks for your kind comments. With cars parked either side of the street it may look challenging, but as you said you can always park around the back and come into the house through the yard. I checked the whirlpool bath today while I was cleaning it and it does work, although the button, being waterproof, does have a lot of travel before it clicks on. Thanks again for your recommendation. Property Owner

  We particularly enjoyed the welcome pack, the beautiful sky lounge and the whirlpool bath. Excellent location for exploring Northumberland.

• "Excellent base to explore the locality."

  Large shower pleasant to use but nowhere to put soap, shampoo etc. I can recommend a telescopic device (Dunelm Mills) that holds itself by springs to the floor and ceiling. No fixing needed. Also the vertical rod that holds the shower head is loose at the bottom and needs maintenance. It would’ve been convenient to have a second set of door keys. The sky lounge is a wow feature. Maybe the twin beds would be better in the larger front bedroom. More circulation space. These are minor observations. Overall a comfortable place to be. Seth

  Thanks Seth for taking the trouble to make these suggestions and we have taken on board your valuable comments. We are delighted that you enjoyed using our Sky Lounge and hope that you managed to see a good bit of the area surrounding Alnwick during your stay. Thanks also for watering the pots in the garden.

  Well equipped and close to the centre of Alnwick. The photos show exactly what the house looks like.

  Thanks Mr Hinchcliffe. The house is very convenient for Alnwick town centre and for the castle, Alnwick Garden, Lilidorei and Barter books, the coast at Alnmouth, Morpeth, Newcastle, and the MetroCentre at Gateshead. Property Owner

• "Excellent house in a quiet street close to the town centre."

  There are two small stores and a large supermarket in walking distance and the owners recommended several great pubs and restaurants close to the house. Street parking was plentiful. The house itself is well furnished with comfy beds, and a good kitchen. The sky lounge allowed beautiful sunsets and would be great for star gazing.

  For example the Sykes Info said bring Tea towels and oven gloves, but there was nothing to say they were provided. It would also Have been useful to have an oven tray (shallow) for reheating things. Generally though it was well equipped and comfortable.

  Yes, the kitchen is fully equipped for our guests. We are very pleased to hear that you were comfortable in 19 Duke Street. Property Owner

• "This was the perfect house to spend four very rainy days in Alnwick."

  If we had to be kept indoors with torrential rain, we couldn’t have been more cosy and comfortable. The house is done to the highest standards, with lots of thought given to all our needs, It is spotlessly clean, with a well stocked kitchen, with absolutely everything you could need, a very comfortable lounge with a great smart TV, there’s a fabulous bathroom, with nice towels and comfortable bedrooms, lots of storage and nice bedlinen,, For us, the icing on the cake was the Sky Lounge, a lovely bright room at the top of the house, with four huge windows letting in light and making it a warm a comfortable place to spend time reading and listening to the thoughtfully provided radio and when the rain cleared for out last morning, we saw wonderful views. We did manage to see Alnwick Castle, which was awesome and had an afternoon drive to the beautiful coastline near Alnmouth and the lovely village of Walkworth, where we walked by the river. So much to see and so and convenient for everywhere, We will be back to see more of all this lovely area has to offer. We might even get to sit in the pretty back yard next time!

  Thanks. We are glad you managed to make the most of your holiday despite the weather. We are proud of our Sky Lounge, a bit like a conservatory, only on top of the house. Previous guests told us that they had a great view of the recent aurora. We like watching the flocks of birds flying over to roost in the evening or just watching the clouds passing by. Best wishes, Terrance and Brenda. Property Owner

• "The pictures on website do not do this beautiful house justice."

  I was on a 5 day break with my 3 very good friends and it was brilliant. You thought of everything and the greeting hamper was perfect, thank you. It is a short walk into the centre of Alnwick and to the Castle and Gardens and central for other days out we did Bamburgh and Lindisfarne (Holy Island) as well as Beamish (which is 1 hrs drive away, but worth it). We were lucky to have seen a fantastic showing of the Northern Lights, perfect end to a fantastic hol. Definitely recommend 19 Duke Street, you won't be disappointed, we were not.

  Fabulous review! It is so kind to have written in our visitor book and to post to the website. So many good reviews in our visitor book - but that's only read by us and guests who have already booked! It is great to have positive online comments such as yours to help potential guests choose 19 Duke Street. Best wishes, Terrance and Brenda. Property Owner

  Very warm & cosy, comfortable bed, lovely shower and easy to park outside. Our first visit to Northumberland and this was a perfect base and location to explore from, we even had a day trip to Edinburgh on the train! Make sure you visit Barter books just down the road. The excellent welcome hamper was the icing on the cake.

  Thanks Michelle for giving such a nice review. Edinburgh is a great city with lots to do and see and it was very shrewd of you to take the opportunity! Barter Books is a gem. Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful stay at 19 Duke Street in October."

  This is a beautiful house with absolutely everything we could have wished for. The sky lounge had incredible views and was so peaceful.Being able to park outside the property and stroll into the centre of Alnwick was a huge bonus. The location of the house is ideal and although it is in a terrace, we never heard any noise from the neighbours. The welcome hamper was very much appreciated - thank you! We will definitely be returning next year. Sue, Philip and Stuart.

  Thank you Sue, Philip and Stuart for the excellent review. We are always glad when guests really like staying at Duke Street. The Sky Lounge at the top of the house is a bit of an experiment, it is so different from the vibe of the rest of the house. We are lucky in having a place so near the centre of town but also being in a quiet and peaceful cul-de-sac, and close to beach and countryside too. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

• "This property is an absolute gem and perfect as a base for exploring Northumberland."

  Spacious, homely and well-equipped, 19 Duke Street is a real home from home. The top floor "sky lounge" was an added bonus and gave our boys their own space in which to chill out. We would highly recommend a stay at this property to anyone wanting to visit Alnwick and the surrounding area.

  Hi Kirsty, you made our day commenting favourably on the Sky Lounge. We thought that teenagers, especially, would appreciate it. The Sky Lounge has a completely different vibe to the rest of the house. There is a lot to see and do in the Alnwick area and along the coast and thanks for using Duke Street as your base.

  Thank you Tracey, it is very kind of you.. Yes, Alnwick is surrounded by countryside but is only 15 minutes from the coast (and the East Coast railway to Edinburgh and York).

• "We stayed at 19 Duke Street over Christmas."

  The owners had decorated the place beautifully for the festive season and left us a lovely welcome pack including prosecco and mince pies. We stayed for a little over a week so got to know the house well. It was more spacious than we were expecting, all of the rooms (including the bathroom) are of a more generous size than we initially expected from a terraced house. The kitchen was well equipped, the living and dining rooms had everything we needed, and the beds were very comfy with lovely warm duvets, even though it was the middle of winter. At the bottom of the road is Barter Books where we could have spent our entire holiday just browsing. The rest of the town centre is just 5-10 minutes walk away, and Alnwick Garden and Alnwick Castle are each about 15 minutes walk (or a short drive of course). Alnwick is perfectly placed for exploring Northumberland's beautiful countryside and coast, and Duke Street is only 5 minutes from the A1 so it's easy to get around. There are convenience stores and a Lidl just around the corner, or larger supermarkets just a few minutes away by car. We were able to park right outside the house, although Duke Street is quite narrow so if like us you have a larger car you have to park it half up on the pavement. All the neighbours do the same though, so it's not a problem. In summary: we had a fantastic time at this property and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a short or longer break in this area.

  Well we are really pleased by this review. It is very thoughtful and detailed. We are extremely pleased that you had a happy and memorable Christmas. Thanks again for the recommendation. Property Owner
