About this property

Set across one level and beautifully renovated throughout, Alwinton Lodge offers a truly enchanting setting for a romantic retreat for two. An off-road parking space greets you at the foot of this charming abode, meaning you can unpack your belongings and settle in with ease. Leave your muddy walking boots at the door as you step inside your new home-from-home, where you can look forward to unwinding with a steaming cup of tea in front of the television as your better half rustles up a romantic meal for two in the adjoining kitchen area. Pour yourself a drink and step outside to the front patio, where you can indulge in an alfresco affair as you take in your peaceful, countryside surroundings. After a long day exploring the coast and country, relax with a refreshing rinse in the shower before snuggling up under the covers of the double bed to catch your rest. A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of Longframlington, where you'll find two pubs, ideal for those evenings when you don't fancy cooking, along with a butchers and a corner shop to stock up on goodies to enjoy from the comfort of your holiday home.
