"Perfectly situated quiet cottage."
Possibly 60m from the castle. Aga was a delight, never having used one before. So much to see in the area. Lindisfarne, Bamburgh, Hawick House and the beautiful gardens of Cragside. A delightful week.

"Loveley cottage perfect location the only thing I would say that could be ..."
Loveley cottage perfect location the only thing I would say that could be improved is the cooking facility I think a conventional oven and hob would be better but other than that the cottage is perfect

"I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lavender Cottage."
Clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and perfectly located for exploring. We could have done with staying another week and I would definitely like to return. My first experience using an Aga was a positive one and I imagine the cottage would be lovely and cosy in the cooler months. Some lovely pubs and restaurants nearby but you definitely need to book ahead! Thank you

Same squeaky floor boards as our house. Cosy and comfortable would be an apt description. We've had a great time visiting local Castles and restaurants etc. Always able to park on the street outside. Many thanks.

"This is a wonderful, homely cottage which we would highly recommend."
It is in a central location in Alnwick yet tucked away in its own private courtyard with a sunny spot for breakfast and evening meal.The Aga was fun to use and made the cottage very snug. There was a fantastic supply of local maps and guides, as well as a huge library of videos/DVDs for all tastes.The beds were comfy, the hot water plentiful and the kitchen well stocked with everything you might need. A perfect place to stay.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Lavender Cottage."
It’s a lovely property in an excellent location. Very comfortable and homely, it really didn’t feel like a holiday let. Ideal location and great to have garden and parking . Very good instructions left and useful guides to the area. Would definitely recommend to friends and would visit again ourselves.

"Really well equipped and comfortable accommodation which is steeped in history."
Even the access through a passage to Nurses Yard is like a trip through history. Extremely welcoming with an AGA warming the kitchen as you enter. Wonderfully convenient location in an historical part of Alnwick and in walking distance of the castle, garden and town restaurants and pubs.

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. 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.
