We received a warm welcome and served a lovely afternoon tea on our arrival. It felt like a home away from home and very relaxed, the area is so calm and peaceful, only a 10 minute drive from the centre of Alnwick. Our room was really light and airy with beautiful countryside views, a lovely private bathroom and the beds were big and super comfy. Included was breakfast each morning with so much choice. We would highly recommend staying, Fiona is a wonderful host, thank you for having us :-)

Fiona the lady that owns it couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful, nothing was any trouble at all. The accommodation was beautiful inside and out. Stunning views all around and the house the night owl is so comfy and welcoming, you have your own key so you can come and go as you please... that's after you have one of Fiona fab breakfasts where she provides everything you could want for your breakfast. Our bedroom was a lovely big onsuite room with the biggest comfiest bed and we both had 2 fantastic nights sleep. I can't recommend this accommodation enough, if you want a lovely chill in a beautiful place then this def is for you. We definately will be returning.
Nothing.. we lived everything.

We stayed in Snowy Owl for 2 nights, our room was ready on arrival and we were given afternoon tea by Fiona who is so lovely. The room had fabulous countryside views over the garden. Breakfast is served in the breakfast room and and is all freshly cooked, Fiona will do whatever you ask for. Although in a remote spot you are not far from surrounding areas like Amble, Morpeth, Alnwick, Seahouses. We would recommend staying at the Night Owl.
We liked everything.

Excellent quality food cooked for you at breakfast. Lovely high tea on arrival after a long journey was just perfect, along with a very warm welcome on arrival from Fiona.
Again, nothing to dislike, it is perfect.

The setting was perfect, in the countryside but within easy reach of places of interest. Fiona was a great host, who made us feel very welcome. The room was very comfortable and the food was fabulous. Fiona makes her own bread, marmalade, muesli etc. so you definitely get well fed!

Fiona laid on a lovely tea and sandwiches and cake when we arrived. The breakfasts were lovely with home-made bread, muesli and marmalade.

Complimentary afternoon tea was an amazing start (home made cakes were incredible, especially the ginger one!) and Fiona was kind, friendly and couldn't do enough to help. The location is beautiful, the room was peaceful and relaxing and the bathroom was really nice with a great shower!
Also, as soon as we booked Fiona contacted us to tell us that we might want to think about booking tables for dinner as the restaurants in the local areas are very popular and get booked up in advance. This is just one example of great hosting and we really appreciated it.
Nothing springs to mind...

Lovely welcome by Fiona and afternoon tea and homemade cakes were a lovely start to the break. Breakfast was delicious with a good selection of fruit and cereals before a cooked breakfast option
A pretty and peaceful location to stay with views overlooking fields and garden, not far to travel to places of interest.

Property was in a quiet location close to Alnwick down a country road but handy for A1 and getting about. Room ( Snowy Owl) was comfortable and had a lovely garden view. Fiona was a top hostess, nothing was too much trouble and her breakfasts were excellent, as was the complimentary afternoon tea on arrival which we thoroughly enjoyed. Plenty of on site parking.
Nothing not to like

We were very pleased with our short stay at the "Night Owl". The room was very comfortable and breakfast was excellent. Fiona made us very welcome and on our arrival had afternoon tea ready for us which was a lovely touch.
Parking was provided outside the house.
The house is set in a lovely garden with great views over open fields.
There was absolutely nothing which I did not like about the "Night Owl".

We were greeted warmly by our host, Fiona. Her beautiful home was a pleasure. It was very clean and everything we could have needed was there.
Although the house is in an isolated location, it was very convenient for trips to Alnwick and other places.
Being where it is, Nature is all around. Many various birds of all sizes visit, including a pair of pheasants that wandered into the garden for us to enjoy during breakfast in the conservatory.
Fiona's breakfasts were well cooked and kept us going.
Thank you, Fiona, for an excellent stay.
We liked everything. No bad points.

Had a lovely relaxing 4 day break here a few weeks ago. Arrived to a lovely afternoon tea which was a lovely touch. Fiona's hospitality was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble, we felt like we were staying with family or a close friend. We seemed to be staying in the middle of nowhere yet within 5 minutes we were in the centre of Alnwick. We are already looking forward to returning :o)
Nothing to dislike at all

The Night Owl definitely exceeded our expectations, everything was perfect during our stay and we already want to come back. We were greeted with a delicious Afternoon Tea on arrival, which was an amazing way to start the stay. The "Eagle Owl" room had plenty of space and a very large en-suite bathroom with very good facilities. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and the room temperature was perfect during the night as the weather was still chilly during our visit. The food during breakfast was delicious and there were plenty of cooked options as well as a very good continental offering to start. We loved the setting of this accommodation as it is situated in the heart of the Northumbrian countryside, where you can see lots of stars at night and you cannot hear a single noise.
Last, but not least, we felt really welcomed by Fiona and Archie, the hosting was superb and Fiona made everything to make us feel at home.
We loved everything about The Night Owl, we cannot fault Fiona's place!

Such an amazing place. Fiona is exceptionally kind, accommodating, warm and gracious as a host, and she is highly skilled in the kitchen, with so many of the ingredients used being locally sourced. The views are so beautiful, particularly over breakfast as the sun is rising, and the entire property has such a cosy, rustic feel to it. We were immediately made to feel right at home and we're already trying to find excuses to stay here again. As a side note, I suffer from chronic pain and can struggle to fall asleep, but the bed was so comfortable that I slept blissfully both nights. Highly highly recommend
