Phenomenal! Amazing location, with a welcome basket that was out of this world. Contact with the owners was spot on; we couldn't have asked for anything more.

Great accommodation in a great location - everything in town within walking distance and just a short drive to the coast for many more attractions.

This was our 3rd visit to turnstone and we are always pleased to be here. The attention to detail by steve and grant is 2nd to none and the fact that they live on site is a bonus. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Thoroughly recommend this property and alnwick and the surrounding Northumberland coastline is just stunning.
