About this property
Settled into the historic town of Alnwick, beside the picturesque River Aln, Bondgate Apartment is a great base for a couple looking to explore Northumberland. Be welcomed into this first-floor apartment by a stylish sitting area with traditional curtains adding a sense of opulence and huge bay windows drawing in natural light, it is a room where you will simply love to curl up with a good book and a glass of your favourite beverage in on one of the three sofas. When mealtimes call, a contemporary kitchen houses many home-from-home amenities so that you can enjoy cooking together, serving your romantic meal for two at the dining area which can be found in the sitting room. The king-size bedroom is elegant, with grey décor, a window seat and large bay windows, as well as both a handy en-suite and a bathroom for you to choose from. Alnwick is a fantastic town with loads on offer for guests, beginning with a bustling high-street housing independent shops and tasty eateries. For scenic walks, visit Hulne Park or you can head out into the countryside for birdwatching and hiking in the fresh rural air. Alnwick not only has a golf course and wonderful woodland, but an amazing castle as well! For a coastal day out, head over to Alnmouth and spend a day on the pretty sandy beach. Make a romantic holiday to remember with a stay at the elegant Bondgate Apartment.
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.

The car parking is round the back of the property so you have to walk around to the rear, along the street but not a problem as you can unload your car and then park up. I would recommend staying here for the quality of the accommodation and it's location.

It was a good place to stay & whilst it was well maintained & had quality furnishings we were still able to feel relaxed & comfortable. It was an ideal location for Alnwick town, a bonus to easily pop out & have lots of facilities on the doorstep. A further bonus was the car parking space; it was easy to go out for the day knowing we didnât need to worry about where to park on our return. We have family members close by so I would look at the availability of this property again when next in the area.

No chair in bedroom. Bedroom chest of drawers near window unusable as drawers falling down between runners. Access instructions a bit confusing - had to seek help from resident on Hotspur Place.
