Alnside Lodge near Alnmouth with hot tub

The location was great for visiting Alnwick and Alnmouth. Lots of space in the property and a lovely enclosed garden with bbq and garden furniture. Comfortable beds. Parking for 3 cars.

Everything was lovely.

Property easily took six adults , never once felt cramped . Right on bus stop so easy to get around if you didn’t want to use the car . Little volunteer run shop in the village, it was a bit pricey but worth it for esssentials Great location for visiting Alnwick and Alnmouth

Most of the markings on the oven had rubbed off so cooking was a bit of guess work at times

House was very comfortable for our party of 8 adults. Plenty of space and seating inside the house, comfortable beds, good quality towels, well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed our time there.

Disappointed that there was no starter pack of milk, tea, coffee or basics like kitchen roll provided and no shower gel provided either. This seems to be standard now in this level of property so we expected it here. The cleaner had also forgotten to leave tea towels and apparently there was no-one around locally to drop some off. There were only 6 garden chairs for an 8 person house - we were told to take dining chairs outside. Major problem with the under-floor heating downstairs which couldn’t be turned off so the house was uncomfortably hot. Eventually managed to turn most of it off after advice from the owner but the heating in the hall remained on all the time which made the front rooms, upstairs and downstairs, unbearably hot. Road noise at the front meant that open windows in the front bedrooms to manage to heat resulted in interrupted sleep. So, this needs to be attended to as a matter of urgency. Glad we weren’t there during a heatwave!!

The owners were lovely. However the property is misrepresented in the photograph on booking. com. The property looks like it has lots of land. This is not the case it is an ordinary house block. Also there is a little annexe property that is rented out separately. That was not made clear, you can see those tenants in their hot tub from the rear bedroom. Very noisy when their spa is on. We expected much more privacy from the property. Also some of the equipment and furniture was dated.
