A lovely clean house ideally situated in Alnwick with parking for two cars next to the house. Comfy beds and a well equipped kitchen. Large sitting room with massive T.V. Great having 2 bathrooms and a extra downstairs toilet. Our second stay here and will book again.

As soon as I walked into Fox House I was stunned by how immaculate, spacious and comfortable it was. The bedrooms were large with comfortable beds and large modern tvs.The kitchen was up to date with everything you could need including a dishwasher & washing machine.The settee in the livingroom was comfortable with yet another large tv.The host had gone the extra mile by providing milk, wine , quality tea& coffee and biscuits. There were also books and games available.I hope to return again soon.
