Description

High quality period stone cottage in central Alnwick perfect for couples and small families. The cottage has a delightful patio garden which backs onto the original town walls.

The famous Barter Books, (one of the largest secondhand bookshops in the country, situated in the fascinating old railway station) is just a few minutes walk away and is great for spending a couple of hours reading and enjoying a cup of tea and cake around an open fire. The cottage is located between the Heritage coast and Cheviot hills. Alnwick Castle and Gardens are just a few minutes walk away. The tree house restaurant in Alnwick Gardens is highly recommended (Need to book for evening). Free Wi-Fi is included. Parking is free in Alnwick and some of the surrounding areas.

“Top class”

Reviewed 23 Jul 2022

We love Puddleduck Cottage. It's comfortable and has everything you need, as well as being ideally located in the centre of town. We arrived in the middle of the heatwave so the fan was a very welcome addition! A really top class cottage and I'm sure we'll be back again!

“Perfect in every way…..”

Reviewed 18 Oct 2021

Puddleduck Cottage is beautiful, cosy, well equipped and maintained to a very high standard. It is the perfect location in Alnwick and only a short walk to castle, gardens and a wide variety of excellent restaurants. Alnwick itself is a great location for visiting many attractions around Northumberland as it is only a 30/45 minute drive to Bamburgh, Cragside, Seahouses, Holy Island to name a few. Janet, the host, responded quickly and helpfully when contacted. We look forward to a return visit as it couldn’t have been a more perfect week away.
