Getting around

Travelling by car; Midwood Lodge and Cottage is about 3 miles from Alnwick town centre and is a straight road from the A1 on to the A1068 from Alnwick in Northumberland. Travelling by train; Alnmouth train station is about two-thirds of a mile away. The Cottage is walking distance from the train station and so a car is not necessary for your holiday. Guests often travel up to Edinburgh for the day or go down to Newcastle by train. The main London to Edinburgh train route calls in to the little station. The bus stop for the local buses around the coast is just at the end of the long drive and it is easy to visit local sites by bus. Our guests travel to Alnwick, Warkworth, Craster and other lovely villages in the area by public transport.

Interaction with guest

We send our guests friendly, useful information at each step of the booking process. We have a 'Things to do' leaflet and a brochure and we can recommend places to visit, walks to take, and lovely restaurants to book. We have awards for 'Walkers Welcome', 'Families Welcome' and 'Cyslists Welcome'. We send our guests a key code about a week before the start date of your holiday. We like to leave our guests a lovely welcome pack and always supply tea, coffee, milk and general kitchen supplies like kitchen roll and other useful supplies. We aim to make your visit a home from home.

We enjoyed a lovely week at Midwood Cottage. The cottage was clean, cosy and well furnished, with everything we could have needed - and the cake and Prosecco awaiting us was very well received! The cottage was a great base for exploring the wonders of Northumberland, with a fabulous beach, restaurants and deli on the doorstep. Thank you for a lovely stay - I’m sure we’ll be back!
