Guests say
The Nook in Alnwick receives high praise for its cosy atmosphere, convenient location, and thoughtful touches. Guests appreciate the property's proximity to local attractions and the town centre, as well as the peaceful environment it offers. The inclusion of a log burner adds to the cottage's charm, and the provision of essentials, along with some treats, is well-received.
Guests are generally pleased with the cleanliness of the cottage, noting it as 'nice and clean'. However, one mention of the shower cubicle needing attention slightly impacts the otherwise excellent perception of cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded for its quietness, central position, and easy access to local attractions and amenities. The only drawback mentioned is the parking situation, which, while not a major issue, is noted by several guests.
The Nook is consistently described as cosy and comfortable, with warm beds and a log burner enhancing the experience. The spaciousness and the quality of the sofas and beds contribute to the high comfort level.
Facilities are generally well-received, with ample kitchen equipment and a power shower. However, some guests suggest improvements such as a larger TV and mention minor maintenance issues like loose carpets and floorboards.
Guests are delighted by the thoughtful extras provided, such as milk, biscuits, and crisps. While these treats are appreciated, it's important to note that such gifts are kindly offered but not guaranteed with every stay.

Lovely cottage in a quiet location near the town centre. The property is very cosy and comfortable and I would definitely stay again if I was going to Alnwick. The cottage has everything you need along with warm comfortable beds and a lovely wee log burner. Great value for money. You can’t park outside the property however this wasn’t an issue as we just parked on the street leading up to the cottage. I wouldn’t let the parking issue put you off.
