About this property

Ideally positioned within the centre of Alnwick market town, Castle View is a gorgeous duplex apartment set across the first and second floors. Originally built in around 1800, and with a varied history, this characterful property was completely refurbished, decorated and newly furnished in 2020. This has been done to a high standard and includes a brand new kitchen and bathroom. Boasting magnificent views of the imposing Alnwick Castle, this attractive abode offers a picturesque setting for a romantic retreat for two. Admire the quirky Harry Potter prints that line the kitchen walls paying tribute to the town's Harry Potter connection, as you take to the impressive electric oven and hob to prepare an evening meal. Dine at the contemporary white table, popping open a perfectly chilled bottle of bubbly and raising a toast to quality time with your loved one.

The sitting room also boasts a handy grey double sofa bed, which can be used as flexible sleeping arrangements for up to two additional people.

    Perfect base for exploring Northumberland. Parking not available at the property but plenty of free parking just down the road. We really appreciated being able to turn the heating on as and when we needed it as it was unseasonally cold and very wet outside.

  • Elaine

    The apartment was lovely…tastefully decorated, furnished and spotlessly clean ! The welcome pack was much appreciated with milk, coffee, tea etc. Nigel and Gillian (owners) have thought of everything! Location ideal with lots of excellent restaurants and quaint pubs just minutes from the property. Stunning places to visit including Alnwick Castle, Craster and Cragside to name but a few! Would recommend joining National Trust as there are so many places within a short radius of Alnwick! We’ll definitely be back!

    Parking maybe an issue at busy times. The communal area could have a little attention. Abit of noise and swearing from the neighbours. Maybe the apartment could have a little drying rack for wet gear. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay at Castle View.
