Swimming pool is amazing! Fantastic walks and visits to Lindisfarne and Alnmouth. Great places to eat locally and lovely village shop. Our only disappointment was the noise transference from apartment above. The couple were not necessary noisy but we could hear them moving about and they were night owls! We would like to visit again and maybe stay in a cottage next time.

Short walk to sea and village. Quiet and peaceful. There is a wonderful swimming pool which you get solo use of through a booking system, though recent expansion of the property means that you have to be on the ball to book a slot at beginning or end of the day. No problems if you are not fussed about the timing. Would be improved by laundry facilities - at the high price, these would usually be available at similar properties. But these are not advertised so you know what you are not getting.

The flat was well appointed and the kitchen had a full stock of utensils, pots/pans, cutlery, etc. We also appreciated that the fridge was stocked with some basic supplies. The pool was great and we thought the booking system worked well. We also enjoyed the information booklet and maps. The biggest negative for us was the lack of a clothes washer or dryer - not just in the flat, but the whole building. Putting in a washer-dryer, or a small shared facility, needs to be a priority. For the price of the place, asking guests to take a half day to wash their laundry in a laundromat in an industrial park in Alnwick is a bit much. Another annoyance is that the flat is directly above the pool and one of the showers bellows like two mating elephants. Please fix it! It was our wake-up alarm every day. Finally, a chest of drawers in each room would be welcome.
