A little further venture to Northumberland taking in the magnificent heritage coastal route, stopping off to see Alnwick and explore the castle used to film Robin Hood, Harry Potter and Elizabeth. Meander through the cobbled streets, or visit the enchanting Alnwick Gardens with one of the largest Treehouse restaurants and water fountains.

Beautiful house with loads of space for a large family group. Very well appointed and comfortable. The games room on the top floor was great. Downside is the fact that there is no food available in the village in the evenings. Would definitely return to this property!

We used the Old Chapel for a family get together, six adults and six children plus two dogs. It was ideal for this purpose and there was plenty around for us all to do and plenty of room. The kids especially loved the enormous play area at the top of the house. The Welcome Pack was superb! The only niggles were that two of the single beds were quite uncomfortable and there were some maintenance issues - failed light bulbs and a badly sticking door. However we had a great time and would use it again.
