Description from owner

Description

Falstaff House is a fantastic Grade II late Georgian cottage in central Alnwick, a new addition to our other two Alnwick cottages, the very popular Peaseblossom House and Juliet Cottage.

This beautiful cottage boasts two pretty bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms, a private patio, a gorgeous kitchen and a characterful living room with stove.

The larger bedroom has a kingsize bed and it's own ensuite bathroom and the second bedroom has sweet twin beds with the family bathroom just along the short passage.

The cottage has its original shutters and lots of other original quirky features.

The beach is 4 miles away and the shops, tea rooms, cafes and pubs of Alnwick are less than 5 minutes on foot.

Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Gardens and Barter Books are all within an easy ten minute walk.

Please note that we have a 3 night minimum booking and we give a big reduction for weekly bookings outside of school summer holidays, and so please check that you have had that price reduction and if it hasn't been deducted, please get in touch.

“Ladies on tour”

Reviewed 12 Nov 2018

This beautiful, quirky cottage in Alnwick is a real gem, close to local facilities, shops and restaurants and of course Alnwick castle and barter books, 4 ladies leaving the men and kids at home couldn't have asked for more. Beautiful welcome pack of cakes and fizz. I would certainly recommend this, local tourist information left by the owner, absolutely no reason to be bored in this area. Louise and her team have certainly got it right with this one. Thank you
