Courtyard Cottage

About this property

Courtyard Cottage is a charming, end-of-terrace cottage tucked away on a residential estate on the outskirts of Alnwick, Northumberland. Just a short distance from the amenities of Alnwick, including shops, pubs and restaurants, whilst being only four miles to the coastline, Courtyard Cottage is a great base for families looking to escape normality and spend some time in Northumberland. Cross the threshold into your home-from-home and discover the traditional interior that will welcome you after a day of exploring. Step into the kitchen/diner, perfect for rustling up tasty meals that can be enjoyed over conversation with loved ones. Move through to the sitting room, where you can relax on the sofas and catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV and electric fire; the perfect place to gather for a movie night. As the night draws in, make your way upstairs, where you will find three bedrooms, a king-size, a single with en-suite shower and a single. Outdoors, enjoy the fresh air from the comfort of the garden; there’s also roadside parking available. The historic town of Alnwick is famed for its medieval architecture, enchanting gardens, and a palpable sense of history. Visit Alnwick Castle, with its imposing towers and impressive stone walls, this majestic fortress has stood the test of time, whilst beyond the castle lies Alnwick's cobbled streets, lined with a mix of historic buildings, charming shops, pubs and quaint tearooms. The nearby Alnwick Moor and Hulne Park provide opportunities for scenic walks, while the Northumberland Coast, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is a short drive away; the coastline is dotted with picturesque villages and pristine beaches, providing a refreshing contrast to the town's historic charm. Back at Courtyard Cottage, ease into the evening and reminisce on your new memories made.

The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike; for even more excitement, the enchanted world of Lilidorei is also available at Alnwick Gardens, offering seasonal events and plenty of fun for little ones of your group. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
