About this property
Settled into the outskirts of the historic market town of Alnwick, East Havers is a stunning single-storey barn conversion which is ideal for a family of three or a couple looking for a Northumberland getaway. Be welcomed by the charming exterior of this property, a barn conversion with pretty sage windows and doors, and unpack with ease from an off-road parking spot. Settle down with a coffee into a lovely sitting room, featuring a TV, selection of stylish sofas, homely décor and a beautiful arched full-length window with a glass door, leading out onto an enclosed courtyard where you can relax with a glass of your favourite beverage in an evening. When mealtimes call, the kitchen/diner, sporting homely décor and ample amenities, will cater to your culinary needs, so why not cook up a storm from local produce? Two bedrooms with hints of lime and tasteful furniture house pretty wooden roof beams, including a king-size and a single, and there is a contemporary bathroom where you can enjoy a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles. Alnwick is a historic market town with so much on offer for guests, beginning with the fantastic range of eateries, as well as riverside walks through Hulne Park and RRH Brizlee Wood. Alnwick is probably best known for its amazing castle, so explore the local history with a trip to Alnwick Castle, and for a seaside day out, head over to Alnmouth where there is a pretty sandy beach. Further from the property you will find more coastal walks and another magnificent castle at Warkworth. Make a rural getaway to remember with a stay at East Havers.
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. 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.

It has everything we and our dog could wish for to make for another relaxing stay in this beautiful area. Shopping is a short distance away with M&S, Sainsbury's and the wonderful specialist food and butchers Turnbulls so close by. Thanks to the owner and Chris our holiday neighbour (loved the chocolates) in presenting such welcoming accommodation and of course Sykes for their usual high standards and easy booking. Bryan, Chris & Buddy

Everything you need in the kitchen inc dishwasher and washing machine. Bed was lovely and comfy and bright clean modern bathroom Inc. Bath and shower. A good size well enclosed back garden for the dog. We really enjoyed being there and getting back to the cottage after long wet days out was a real pleasure . If your looking for fantastic views of rolling countryside this isn't for you but if you want a clean modern warm home as your base this is just right and very close by is an M and S food hall Mini Morrisons garage Lidle and Aldi and a great pub doing lovely food the Hogs Head. Great place for easy access to Bamburgh and Alnmouth the A1 and 5 minutes from Alnwick. Very happy with our stay .
