The house is suitable for large groups and families, offering a cosy lounge, private courtyard, and well-appointed rooms. While some maintenance issues and kitchen equipment shortages were noted, the overall experience was positive, with efficient communication from the property managers.

The property received mixed feedback on cleanliness. While some guests found the house to be very clean and well-presented, others reported issues with dust, dirty skirting boards, and remnants from previous guests. The majority, however, were satisfied with the cleanliness upon arrival.

The location of Longshore is highly praised, being moments away from a beautiful beach and within the heart of Alnmouth. Guests appreciated the convenience of nearby parking and the peaceful, quiet street, making it an ideal base for exploring Northumberland.

Guests consistently reported that the property was comfortable, with cosy lounges, comfortable beds, and a warm atmosphere. The spaciousness of the property contributed to the comfort level, allowing large groups to stay without feeling crowded.

Facilities at Longshore were generally good, but several guests noted a lack of kitchen utensils and crockery, as well as some maintenance issues like broken blinds and showers. The property managers were responsive to reported problems, but there is room for improvement in ensuring all facilities are up to standard.

There is insufficient information to assess the thoughtfulness of the property in terms of gifts or special touches for guests. No reviews mentioned the presence or absence of gifts, so it cannot be determined if this is a feature of the property.

About this property

Resting in the heart of delightful Alnmouth in Northumberland, Longshore is a spectacular, three storey Victorian property which offers spacious and tasteful accommodation, perfect for holidays for families and friends alike. Having carefully retained its character, the property has been meticulously renovated to offer all the mod cons you would expect from a high end holiday home. The sitting room is no exception with solid wood flooring and an ornamental open fireplace creating a traditional vibe while comfy seating and chic soft furnishings add a stylish finishing touch to the space. The impressive, extended kitchen/diner is sleek and contemporary and yet is still warm and welcoming with a fully fitted kitchen offering everything needed to produce great food for the whole holiday party and with a rustic dining table and chairs adjoining the space, guests can take a seat, pour themselves a glass of their favourite tipple and keep the chef company. When the food is ready to serve up, there is the formal dining room all ready to greet guests with a warming woodburning stove helping to make a great focal point to the room and is somewhere you can imagine spending many happy hours putting the world to rights, drinking, dining and enjoying each other’s company. If the weather allows, then there is a small but perfectly formed sunny courtyard garden where you can carry on the party outside. At bedtime, there are five wonderfully appointed bedrooms to choose from; two super-king-sizes, two king-sizes and a single. All are equally well presented and offer a restful place to lay your weary heads so that in the morning you’ll be refreshed and raring to go, ready to explore the delights of Alnmouth which is within a short walk where you will find a good selection of shops and eateries as well as a golf course and miles of sandy beaches. Take a short drive to Alnwick, famous for its castle and gardens, or drive a little further to attractions such as Hadrian’s Wall, Howick Hall and Gardens, Dunstanburgh Castle and Northumberland Country Zoo. Take a boat trip over to the Farne Islands where you might catch sight of an unusual bird or seal. If you love wildlife, then you’ve come to the right place with RSPB reserves at Annstead Dunes and Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre. Activities worth having a go at while you’re here include golf at Alnmouth Golf Club, horse-riding at Slate Hall Riding Centre, surfing at Bamburgh Castle Beach and sailing at Beadnell Sailing Club. For an outstanding property in a superb location, Longshore ticks all the boxes and promises the very best of holidays.

Situated just 4 miles east of Alnwick, Alnmouth is a charming resort popular with golfers and those seeking a peaceful holiday. The village lies on a narrow spit of land between the River Aln and the North Sea and was originally the port for Alnwick. Nowadays the area has returned to its unspoilt origins and offers a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as an excellent “links” golf course and some great rivers for fishing, as well as boasting miles and miles of splendid beaches and sand dunes to explore which afford stunning views of the North Sea. A short drive will bring you to Alnwick with its famous historic castle, The Alnwick Garden housing the Poison Garden which runs guided tours through dangerous botanicals and a variety of pubs and restaurants. Alnmouth is well situated for exploring Northumberland.

    The house is well equipped and comfortable. It's a short walk to the beautiful beach and Alnmouth is a lovely village.

  • Debbie

    The street it is located on is peaceful and quiet. Parking is not great beside the property, it is tight and going to the beach park and leaving your vehicle there would probably be better. The house was very clean and light and airy with comfortable beds. All the basic amenities you need are here. There were only a few grizzles we had, as a house for 8/9 we were only given one bin bag- I mean two wouldn’t stretch the earth. There was no soap in any of the bathrooms- I’ve never stayed anywhere that does that- not great from a sanitary perspective. Usually there are some basic ingredients in the cupboard- salt and pepper in particular- come on! I know that you can charge more in high season, but just short of £1000 for 2 nights stay when it’s self catering is overpriced. You could stay at catered accommodation (eg a hotel) for the same or less…. Something to think about.

    Very close to the beach and by far the nicest, quaintest town we found on travelling the area.
