Cottage very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Especially liked sun room, for watching/listening to birds. Central location, good for amenities and public transport but peaceful too. Would definitely consider returning.

We stayed at Oswin cottage for a week in March. It was very clean and had all the essentials provided for a comfortable stay. It is only a short drive from the A1 and a 10 minute walk from the centre of Alnwick. There were a few general issues which have been forwarded to the owners, who replied that they are either dealing with or will deal with it.Overall we found the cottage very good value for money and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again or recommend to others.
