Quiet location with great parking
Nothing to dislike about the cottage.
9.0 / 10.0
Property was very clean and had good facilities. Was well stocked with kitchenware. Great location and peaceful surroundings. Check in was extremely easy and we had all the info we needed for a smooth and relaxing stay. Really enjoyed it and would recommend!
Oven only had one rack which made it hard to cook. A property that sleeps up to 4 people should have at least two racks in the oven. The only other thing was the shower drain likely needs cleaning as it smelt very bad when the shower was on, which unfortunately made showering quite unpleasant. Hopefully both of these things can be fixed easily.

Loved the location. Host was excellent with very clear instructions on how to access property, bins and Wi-Fi. Place was lovely. Great decor, very cosy and clean
Nothing we didn’t like. Could have had another mirror in the lounge and a few extra blankets provided for cold nights. This is nit picky stuff though. It was a great stay in a lovely location

Fabulous location - so close to Alnwick but felt like you were out in the countryside (nice and quiet). The cottage was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The host was great - answered all my queries and was very helpful.
Not a lot - maybe an extra tea towel or some bubble bath but I'm nit picking.

Bright, spotlessly clean and well appointed cottage on the outskirts of Alnwick, with countryside views to the rear.
A full length mirror somewhere would have been helpful

The property is in an excellent location, only 3 minutes from central Alnwick and Alnwick castle. It’s very quiet with an idyllic setting. I was hopeful to see the deer mentioned in other reviews and was very lucky to see a family of deer, a mother and 3 babies. Amanda was very responsive when we did have queries and this was very gratefully received. The cottage provided everything we needed for cooking meals, and enjoying early evenings in.
A mirror outside the bathroom would be useful, but this is a very minor point.

Absolutely loved everything about Sunnybank cottage - the check in process was super easy, Amanda (the host) was very responsive to queries (no issues just wanted to confirm if we could use the picnic hamper/blanket which was a yes!) and the place was perfect for us - we needed somewhere else with parking and the cottage was the perfect t spot with its secluded nature, however close enough to walk into town. Everything was spotless and we even had 4 deers visit us in the garden for the last night! Absolutely stunning cottage and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone!
The only thing to note is the walk back up the hill from town could be steep for some so bare in mind, but this did not in anyway detract from the stay for us (we're a couple in our 30s of relatively good fitness).

Wonderful private and peaceful location, fabulous for visiting with a dog.
Very comfortable accommodation, lovely attention to detail.
So clean and everything there that we needed.
Easy to get to places we wanted to visit.
Blessed with visits from the local deer.
Just perfect.
Nothing. Would definitely stay again.

Quiet location on edge of town. Beautifully presented on arrival. Lovely countryside around house but easy to get into town by foot or car.
comfort of bed/mattress not to my personal preference. House has a few outstanding repairs but did not hamper our stay

Great place to stay, just up the hill from Alnwick towards the golf course, so you feel quite secluded.
Very comfortable and clean cottage, a real home from home. Amanda was very responsive to a minor issue we encountered and got it sorted straight away. A short walk along the road takes you down to the forest area which was lovely for our morning run. Everyone so friendly in town, a real pleasure to stay here.

Lovely cottage, perfect location. Quiet road but so close to town! Deer and pheasants visiting in the garden!
No mirror anywhere except in the bathroom. Lucky we took an extension and had to use the hair dryer in there so not ideal, as you shouldn't really use electrical items in a bathroom.
It was great having the garden especially as we had our little dog with us but hadn't realised that up the hill there was no fencing. He would have followed the deer and been off if he had seen it!
Despite this we loved it as other thigs were so lovely.

The property was lovely and cosy, in an ideal location for accessing Alnwick, there was nothing we didn’t like about the property, its gardens or our stay. I would highly recommend and would definitely stay again if we are up that way. The host was super helpful and recommended a fantastic Indian restaurant down the hill which we all enjoyed and it was genuinely a really lovely stay.

Very comfortable cottage with a fully functioning kitchen which was warm and cosy when cold outside!
The only thing we would have liked was some cushions to put on the chairs outside. We would have sat outside in the lovely garden had they been available in the cottage.

Excellent location close to town but far enough tucked away in the country. Lots of space and everything we needed was provided. Also dog friendly.

Everything
Would recommend a little welcome file in writing with where the Smart meter is ,how to operate it , keep all the instruction manuals for the hob, oven etc. in it .
Give nearest Doctors Surgery Number. Nearest Chemist No.
Would recommend bath mat for getting out of bath/shower area. Shower/bath mat for when in bath or shower.

A beautiful little cottage with everything we needed for a short break. An open garden with deer visiting in the evening. Amazing hot water and heating when we needed it. Owner very responsive and helpful when we asked a question. Would definitely stay again.

The property is in a very good location and the cottage is so cozy, warm and welcoming. It is decorated to a very high standard and clearly much thought was given to every detail needed for a comfortable stay. The free parking onsite was a nice bonus and the garden was wonderful for our dog. I would stay again without hesitation and I highly recommend this place.
We loved everything but just more as an FYI, the bathtub with overhead shower is a bit high and might be a bit tricky getting in and out for anyone with mobility issues.

Lovely cottage with garden surrounding all sides so always a sunny spot to sit. The cottage inside is beautifully furnished with everything needed, a well equipped kitchen and 2 double bedrooms with lovely linen and towels. The position was great for the town of Alnwick, about 10 mins walk down a hill and there was easy onsite parking. The cottage was very peaceful with no noise.
The owners were excellent in communicating and a minor problem with the hot water was fixed within an hour . We particularly appreciated the complimentary Prosecco and biscuits left for us, thank you.
The excellent shower is over the bath which has rather high sides if you have limited mobility , we didn't have a problem with it though.

Great location: close enough to Alnwick to be near all shops and restaurants, but far enough away to be quiet. Very well presented. Spotlessly clean. Very good garden.
The only downside was limited clothes hanging space, but if you are only going for a few days this shouldn't be an issue.
10.0 / 10.0
The cottage was very well appointed with everything we needed for a 5 day break. It was light and airy with lots of windows with lovely views of the gardens. The heating system was easy to use and meant we were cosy in the evenings. The beds were comfortable and there was a great rainforest shower over the bath. The location was perfect with only a few minutes drive into Alnwick, but we felt like we were in the middle of the countryside. It was very quiet and peaceful.
The cottage could do with a bit more cutlery and crockery as it had a dishwasher and we didn’t want to use it unless it was fully loaded.
