Emma
Really loved the cosy cottage, just a quick stroll to town, super cleanand comfy beds too!
Emma Collins
We had an amazing stay at Thornbrae Cottage! It’s such a cosy, welcoming place, perfect for relaxing. The hot tub was a real treat after a day exploring. The location couldn’t be better-just a short walk into Alnwick, close to Alnwick Castle and those beautiful Gardens. We loved visiting Barter Books at the station and enjoyed a meal at The Oak pub at the top of the road. The nearby supermarkets and the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday market made everything easy. We’ll definitely be back!
Emily Carter
We loved the place! It’s really spacious and finished to a high standard, super cleanand the beds were comfy. The bathrooms were great and the kitchen had everything we needed, plus some nice treats. The hot tub was a real bonus. Perfect spot for exploring the coast. Big thanks to Mark for being flexible with our timings because of someone feeling unwell. Definitely recommend this place!

The bungalow was really roomy and comfy, perfect for four adults. We barely noticed the traffic noise from the road, more just a background hum. Walking into town was easyand Alnwick’s a great spot to explore the surroundings. Definitely a good find!

We loved the place! It’s really well equippedand the high spec makes it feel special. The hot tub was perfect after a long hike. Alnwick’s just a short walk away, with cosy cafes and pubs. Definitely try Dirty Dog and Melvins, but remember to book, especially on weekends. We’ll be coming back for sure!

This was such a fantastic find, perfectly located for Alnwick castle and gardens, the coastand so many other fascinating and beautiful spots within easy reach.

The beautiful medieval castle is open to the public and during school holidays and at Christmas and Halloween a range of activities can be enjoyed including Santa's Workshop, a Pumpkin Parade, Spell Making Lessons and Owl and Bird of Prey Flying.
Cragside House and Gardens - NE65 7PX
about 10 Miles
Cragside House and Gardens (National Trust) are a popular Northumberland attraction with a beautiful stately home and gorgeous grounds to explore. The rhododendron labyrinth is a unique and fun addition to the grounds and there is also an adventure playground where children can let of steam. It is the stunning scenery that attracts most of the visitors though with many bringing a picnic for a relaxing family day out. The house itself hosts exhibits which change regularly. World of the Water Wizard is currently on display.
Go Ape Northumberland - NE48 1NT
about 27 Miles
Go Ape! has really taken off and become one of the most popular attractions in the UK.  The Northumberland course is set in the stunning grounds of Matfin Hall.  Described as a high wire forest adventure this really is one for the more daring as the course takes place right up in the tree tops.  Giant tree top obstacle courses include ladders, bridges, tunnels and some of the country's best zip lines.  You will be provided with all safety equipment and training on site.
