A beautiful house in a beautiful location, just West of Alnwick, Northumberland. A few little 'niggles' with lights and contradictory instructions (those given by Plum Guide/Rural Retreats weren't always the same as those awaiting us in the house), but didn't spoil our holiday overall. Alice, the owner, was a delight.
