Wendy
The apartment was so well located in Alnwick with the added bonus of a parking space. It was cosy and very well equipped with everything needed to self cater. Although there are pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Supermarkets also close by. Hidden in an alley the instructions to get there were clear we had no trouble finding the accommodation. It was also very quiet at night. Bed was comfy and we slept very well. Thank you.

Quill corner is excellent. It’s a lovely apartment in an old stone cottage which has been refurbished to a high standard. It’s very comfortable, and is well equipped for a self catering holiday. It’s just a one minute walk to the shops and the designated parking space was a bonus. I would definitely recommend it.
