Excellent, quiet location

Nothing

Welcome Coffee, Team, crisps & wine Welcome toiletries (although one already partly used) Two bedrooms - a big plus in this price range One of the beds has a really good, firm mattress. Nice leather sofas. Heating on at arrival, a big plus in cold weather. Washing machine & dishwasher. A 5-10 min. walk to town centre. Books & films at disposal. Flowers in backyard.

Hassle before check-in, as we suddenly got a message from Booking that we could only check in after 5. That was contradictory to the information received in the mail after booking and very confusing. Also, no helpful reply from the handler cottages.com, when we tried to find out what was going on, altogether very stressful. The house was mostly clean, BUT: Pans a health hazard - extremely scratched, that's a no go with Teflon coated pans,. We had to buy a new one and leave there ... Really dirty water in the pot lid handles. Constant whining sound - from fridge? Damp towels in washing mashine upon arrival. Fitted sheet turned inside-out on the bed. Yellow stains on all four white towels - came out when we washed them. Dishwasher upper tray broken, keeps falling off Doorknob of the larger bedroom loose / falling off. Taking all this together, the property seems a bit carelessly cleaned / handled.

A lovely, spacious cottage a short walk from the centre of Alnwick. The cottage was very well equipped and there was a lovely welcome pack waiting for us upon arrival.

Walking up the slope on the way home in the evening was a bit of a struggle as 2 of us has Arthritis and 1 of us has Angina but taxis are available so that problem was solved.

We loved everything. Beautiful house, so comfy and warm. Lovely beds, decent mattresses. Welcome pack, very nice Wine and snacks. Maybe should supply a small carton of milk but nothing to criticize.
