Guests say
Aln Cottage in Alnmouth offers a charming and cosy stay, with its cleanliness and prime location being highly praised. Guests enjoy the proximity to the beach and local amenities, though some noted room for improvement in comfort and facilities. The cottage's character and cleanliness make it a pleasant choice for a holiday retreat.
The cottage is generally well-kept and clean, but there are mentions of mould in the shower and a need for an updated bathroom. No other negative comments about cleanliness suggest it is satisfactory.
The location is excellent, with easy access to the beach and local transport. The village's charm is a highlight, though parking can be challenging.
Comfort receives mixed reviews, with some guests finding the beds hard and the lack of additional blankets a downside. However, the lounge/kitchen area is appreciated for its character.
Facilities are adequate with some recommendations for more plug sockets and an updated bathroom. The absence of a smart TV was noted, and some kitchen items like a sharp knife may be needed.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

only other slight problem was that no smart tv which would have been great as the house had internet - would have no problem highly recommending for a couple with a dog.

Bathroom need up date plus an extract fan to prevent black mould. shower head had black deposits of mould, and could do with a detachable shower head for the Mrs to wash her hair separately. Otherwise neat little place.
