This was our second stay here so a good start. However we had problems no WiFi and intermittant heating. Both problems were sorted quickly by Cottages uk but detailed instructions would have meant no recourse to customer services.

A very well placed apartment for visiting Alnwick and surrounding areas and a designated off-road parking space is a big bonus. The apartment is light, airy and cosy with enough amenities to cover most needs. One bedroom lacks drawer space and a wardrobe, just a hanging rail, which if 2 couples were sharing the cost could make it difficult! However I would highly recommend Percys Place as a great place to stay and would definitely return myself.
