Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Lots of space for a family of 5. In a great location. Very clean and nice and quiet. Having a little garden was great for our grandaughter. Lovely views from all the windows and Mrs Tulip was very helpful.

"What a lovely big old house, spotlessly clean and and very well equipped."
So much bigger than it looks on the picture. Garden was lovely and relaxing. Theres a lovely costal path walk into Alnmouth which takes around 25 mins to the beach and just 5 mins in the car to Alnwick.
The Market Tavern and Lilburns in Alnwick were excellent for food, dont bother with the Sun Inn in Alnmouth, it wasnt good!
Only thing i could ask for is a baby gate option, our nearly 2 year old loved the stairs and its a big house and shes fast lol!!
Would highly recommend this house

"Great place and within a short walk to the town and beach."
Situated off a road with a bus stop outside and a train station close by. Lovely garden area , lots of parking. Spacious inside with excellent facilities. We loved the kitchen with the huge dining table. The bedrooms are spacious but the beds could be bigger and more comfortable. Some of the singles are only suitable for children and the doubles are small too. The outside at the front needs painting too. But overall an excellent place to stay and one we would return to

"The property was clean and spacious."
.beds comfortable...in an excellent location...although attached to the owners property still felt very private . Unfortunately our stay was spoiled by the fact that overnight road closure and repairs resurfacing the road and merges started on the Monday night directly outside the property resulted in 4 nights of restricted sleep..lights alarms from vehicles moving back and forward Jack hammers the lot. although not the owners fault they certainly would have been aware this was happening..had we been told would have cancelled and booked something else..this really impacted on me and my partner's enjoyment. The price we paid was not a small amount and for us all the holiday was completely ruined. Will not be returning I personally feel it was dishonest not to inform us as the owners would certainly have had advanced notice

"We had a wonderful week at this cottage."
It's absolutely huge and we found it very well equipped. It's set well back from the road along a long drive so there were no issues getting in and out off the main road and there was a pavement to get over onto a nice path to Alnmouth. We spotted a hedgehog, rabbits and even a deer during our stay! Really well placed for beaches at Alnmouth and Warkworth and we enjoyed visiting NT Wallington and Howick Gardens. Would definitely return, thank you for a lovely stay

"We were immediately impressed by the spaciousness of the "cottage" and, over the week, by its location."
Being on the X18/20 bus route is a boon.
All the equipment was in good working order - with instructions available if needed. Even Henry was well looked after.
The only minor niggle was that one or two of the storage spaces were a little dusty.
Although we haven't re-read the property description, it exceded our expections. Thanks fo making it avaiable and sorry we ran out of time to comment in the visitors book.

"Lovely holiday home, lots of space for a big family!"
We were amazed about how big it was and pictures just don’t do it justice. Ideal for our dog too with an enclosed garden and a boot room to sleep. Ideal location with a bus stop right outside the property that takes you into Alnmouth or surrounding areas. Just up the street to the left is a play area and another down by the beach which was also perfect for the younger children. Overall we wish we had stayed long!!

The entrance takes you into a huge living room through to a large dining room onto a big farmhouse style kitchen with table and chairs. There's a boot room off the kitchen with lots of space for all dog and walking related gear. The upstairs has 3 beautiful bedrooms that are very spacious and a bathroom big enough to dance round.

An incredibly comfortable place to stay with fabulous 'squashy' sofas and lovely beds. Liked the feeling of space from the high ceilings and the tasteful decoration. The enclosed garden was a fabulous place for the grandchildren to play and have fun safely. A brilliant base for all amenities and yet quiet and peaceful too. Won't hesitate to return, in fact have already booked up and will recommend to our friends.

A stunning wood-clad historic property resting in the quaint seaside town of Alnmouth, Garden House is a truly incredible seaside base for a family or group of adults looking to explore Northumberland.

When it comes to cooking up a storm, the spacious kitchen is ready to cater to all of your culinary needs, with loads of space for guests to cook together, as well as many amenities, a large dining table for all guests and a vintage hanging clothes horse, and there is a second dining room with a patterned old-fashioned carpet and beautiful bay windows.
Freshen up in the bathroom or shower room and allow the handy utility room to take care of all of your sandy clothes, before snuggling up in one of the tastefully historic rooms, including a double room with wood panelled walls and ceiling, a twin bedroom great for children and with loads of storage and a family room housing a double and single bed, as well as an ornamental fireplace.
There is a rear garden with a patio, sporting a sitting area from which you can enjoy the surrounding countryside and mature shrubs, with the church and historic buildings peeking out from behind the water and the tops of the trees, a truly lovely space for a cup of tea.
Alnmouth is a fantastic coastal town housing the estuary at the mouth of the River Aln, a great spot for wildlife and scenic walks, as well as a fantastic sandy beach ideal for watersports and wild swimming.
Alnmouth offers a selection of eateries where you can enjoy a hot meal, as well as a local golf course, access to the England Coast Path leading from Amble to Bamburgh, and a local gallery.
Travel a little further and you can explore the wonderful historic market town of Alnwick, where there are riverside walks through Hulne Park, many independent shops, tasty eateries and last but certainly not least, the incredible Alnwick Castle.
Indulge in the history and scenery of Northumberland with a stay at the charming Garden House.
Situated just 4 miles east of Alnwick, Alnmouth is a charming resort popular with golfers and those seeking a peaceful holiday. The village lies on a narrow spit of land between the River Aln and the North Sea and was originally the port for Alnwick. Nowadays the area has returned to its unspoilt origins and offers a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as an excellent “links” golf course and some great rivers for fishing, as well as boasting miles and miles of splendid beaches and sand dunes to explore which afford stunning views of the North Sea. A short drive will bring you to Alnwick with its famous historic castle, The Alnwick Garden housing the Poison Garden which runs guided tours through dangerous botanicals and a variety of pubs and restaurants. Alnmouth is well situated for exploring Northumberland.
