    Lack of parking was no real problem .

  • "We had a fabulous week in Alnwick."

    The location of the cottage was so central, which we loved. Plenty of bars and shops. We visited the Playhouse twice, once for a play and for the cinema, excellent venue. Barter books is definitely worth a visit. Beautiful walks around Caster and Alnmouth. The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable. Thank you so much! Definitely recommend.

  • "This is our second stay at Crier Cottage."

    The cottage facilities were were very good as were the local amenities. Alnwick is a good centre for accessing other parts of Northumberland . Our only downside was the very loud music ( karaoke) from the pub on the corner till early morning on the Sunday.

    Cannot fault the facilities or location. Parking nearby with no problems. Plenty of places to eat and drink in Alnwick on the doorstep.

  • "Nice cottage in a handy location for the town centre."

    Had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The downside of the location is the occasional passing noise from traffic or passers by.

  • "Great cottage - lovely rooms, comfortable beds, good radiators on the rare occasions we used them."

    Alnwick is an excellent base as well; we used the local bus system a lot, visiting nearby towns and villages, but also spent time in Alnwick, which has good pubs, restaurants and shops in addition to the castle and the fascinating Alnwick gardens.

    I wouldn't bother trying to park on the recommended street but car parks are close enough.

    It had everything we needed and a lovely basket of goodies when we arrived. We did lots of walking and everything we wanted to visit or see was within reasonable distance. Many Thanks for letting us stay.

  • "Criers cottage was a great place to stay, it’s ideal for a couple or a family with a couple of young kids."

    It’s very convenient for the excellent Alnwick town centre and therefore can be a little noisy a times, it didn’t bother us at all and I guess if you are looking at booking such a convenient property it won’t bother you either. We will definitely return.

  • "It’s a very comfortable, well appointed cottage in an excellent location."

    We had everything we needed. Kitchen was excellent. The only negative I would mention is the towels. After only one use, one of the small hand towels developed a bad smell, a “ sweaty feet” smell. Later in the week a couple of other towels began to smell. It’s very strange as everything else was fine.

    Very clean & very well equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay with nice comfy beds. Close to shops, restaurants & pubs just a short walk away. We had great days out to Seahouses, Amble, Holy Island is a must see & Berwick. Visited Craiser on the way home for the famous kippers. 1st time in Northumberland & would return. Thanks again for the lovely welcome pack.

  • "Have stayed at the cottage many times and always have a good holiday."

    It is comfortable, clean, good selection in the welcome pack- an ideal base for looking around Northumberland. Only one problem this year, the washing machine didn't seem to be working properly. I left a note for the cleaners and mentioned it in the Visitors book so I'm sure it will be sorted by the owners.

    We visited lots of places, never having to drive more than 40 minutes to reach anywhere. On arrival the Cottage was spotlessly clean and well furnished with a lovely welcome pack. We found it warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Will definitely return!

  • "Lovely boutique cottage."

    The rear courtyard was just wonderful and as the weather so warm we ate all our meals out here. It was a peaceful retreat and the hanging baskets were gorgeous.

  • "What a wonderful cottage!"

    We were lucky enough to be able to stay in this warm, clean, cosy and pretty place just before the country was placed in lockdown. On arrival we knew we had made a good choice as the place was clean, fresh looking and just so inviting.. It has all the amenities you need such as a washing machine and dishwasher and a fantastic little outside area. Above all the property is a stones throw away from Alnwick. If anyone feels jaded and needs a pick me up then please give this place a try. We were world weary on arrival and left feeling soothed.

About the location

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. 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.
