• "This is a lovely period property well located in Alnwick, with everything you need for a comfortable stay."

  We were close to all the wonderful restaurants and bars, and really enjoyed our holiday. A lot of thought has gone into making the flat comfortable. It was clean with lovely towels and bed linen, and separate shower room and bathroom, which is handy. Nice and warm too! What I would say is that the flat can be a little noisy. There is another property above with floorboards, and this meant sound travelled early mornings. There is also a degree of street noise at night as town centre location, and during the day, street works started this week for the next few weeks, which meant an early start and a lot of drilling! Thankfully the peaceful Northumberland coast is only a short drive away. On balance a great property for a break in Alnwick.

  Hi thank you for such a positive review, we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. The work on the street outside is to pave and formally pedestrianise a previous road, it should be short lived and result in a very pleasant area at the street below. As you say, there is a degree of noise due to the apartments location and the age of the building- we try to ensure all our guests are aware via the listing and hope it didn’t interfere with you holiday. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

• "My partner and I stayed Friday–Monday, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

  It is in a fantastic location and has natural light throughout. The flat was extremely clean and full of great character. The picture online does not do the living room justice, as it is very spacious. We had an incredible sleep, as the bed is very comfortable. The shower is powerful, and we had no issues with hot water. Additionally, the welcome pack on arrival was a very nice touch. Dirty Bottles and Mumbai are two great restaurants that we would recommend. Please bear in mind that this property is in a central location; therefore, naturally, there is some low-level outdoor noise at times; however, this was not an issue for us. Overall, we had a great stay and are looking forward to booking again.

  Thank you for such a lovely review! We are so pleased you had a great time and enjoyed your stay at Upper Oakwood. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon. Property Owner

• "We have just stayed at Upper Oakwood and other than the apartment being beautifully decorated and having great facilities I have nothing good to say."

  We’ve had little to no sleep with the amount of noise from the people walking around upstairs due to their floor boards being ridiculously noisy to the point they sound like they are going to come through the ceiling and the nightlife pounding on until the early hours. People walking past shrieking/fighting on the street behind on the pub crawl route and with the windows being single glazed they might as well have been inside. My five year old has been woken up at least 10+ times each night, including with the floorboard stomping and creaking above. All in all we wouldn’t recommend for any families at all. The apartment would be good for people wanting to go out and party in Alnwick however for anything else it just isn’t a relaxing break. It is however beautiful inside and has a lovely charm to it.

  We value all feedback. We also have a young family and empathise, however we have stayed in the flat on a number of occasions and our experience doesn’t accord with yours of noise from the street or the flat above.We can only assume that there was a particularly busy atmosphere in Alnwick during the double bank holiday weekend of your stay.The property listing and photographs do point out to guests the period features of the property, (including single pane sash windows) and the central location, which inevitably leads to some noise from the street below.

• "Lovely apartment in lovely town."

  Nicely furnished and well equipped. Very clean and comfortable(very comfy beds and settees). There was noise in the street on weekend evenings but nothing unpleasant and it was all over by 11:30pm.

  Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it and and are pleased you had such a pleasant stay. Property Owner
