    The only two issues were the noise from the flat below as the person has the television on quite loud and they have a clock which chimes regularly but these are things probably out of the control of the owners. In the bathroom, the shower can be tricky to use.

    The flat was lovely. It was very clean and centrally located for the town. The decor was lovely and the flat perfect for our short break. The bathroom and kitchen were modern and the lounge and bedroom were spacious and comfortable.

    Thick dusty cobwebs in kitchen and living area. Wine glasses had lipstick on them and tea cups were also not washed properly. As its self catering that was a bit more understandable, could do with regular drinks glasses and more than 1 pan.

    Cute, cosy, spacious living area. King size bed was perfect size as we have one at home. Property was tucked away which was very pleasant. Appreciated the chocolates as it was my partner’s birthday, would definitely stay here again.

    As seen by other reviews, who ever lived in the flat below plays their TV very loud. It didn’t disrupt us too much but something to be mindful off. Although note this isn’t the property owners fault.

    Great location and apartment. It had everything that we needed for our stay. Great communication with the owners and they were courteous with our request.

    The only downside was the apartment below had their TV exceptionally loud all evening and into the early hours. It was hard to concentrate on our own tv. The next morning by 8am it was on full volume again. Such a shame as everything else was brilliant.

    The photos don't do this apartment justice, more spacious than we thought it would be. Very clean and it was nice and cosy in the evening. The owners were very courteous and let us check in at 12 instead of 3pm. We didn't know what to expect when we first walked down the passageway as it's a little different but we were so happy with our choice once we entered. Location was excellent. Would definitely go back.

    The water dispenser in the fridge is mouldy so we didn’t use it and the people that live in the property below have there TV exceptionally loud which was slightly off putting

    This hideaway is perfect. Just back from a 2 night stay and I can't fault it in anyway. Was clean and comfortable and we had some mousey weather when we were there and we were more than happy to stay in and relax in this lovely pad . Will definitely be back iff I can find a date that's not already booked lol

    Outside light at top of stairs not working so had to use phone torch, as we were leaving it was getting fixed, bed too hard for us, but that's our preference, kitchen not greatly stocked with crocks and pots if you wanted to make an evening meal which we did on our last night, but the one thing that will stop us returning was the constant loud TV noise from the man downstairs, ok the first night, but started at 7am and went through till 2.15 am the next morning the other 2 nights, could hear it above own tv and in bed, not the property owners fault but unfortunately not great, 😔

    The apartment exceeded our expectations in regard to how large, light, and airy it was, was warm and cosy, plenty of hot water, and a huge bath, and a fabulous location just a few minutes into centre of Alnwick, 😄

    The shower head over the bath was far from.ideal and anyone with any mobility issues would really struggle. Unfortunately the neighbour below a young guy we think played loud music/tv from 11pm until 1am most nights and kept my husband awake.

    Really lovely flat which was beautifully presented. Great value and fabulous location 5 minutes walk from town.

    We weren't aware of the steps up to the property which were unlit and we had to be cautious in the snow and ice. A fixed shower would have been useful. The neighbour downstairs was noisy, his TV could be heard word perfect over ours into the early hours.

    Good location, comfortable, modern and well decorated. It was clean on arrival and good value for money.

    I think there needs to be a shower at this property as opposed to a bath, it was really hard to use.

    Ideal location and was very cozy.

    Short break in a beautiful apartment.

    There double glass doors leading into the apartment from the kitchen, we felt there should maybe be a sticker on the door that stays shut as my husband tried to walk through it twice 😀 and also, there is a shower attached to the taps on the bath, but nowhere to hang it and there is no shower screen or bracket. We didn't see the point in the shower. But the bath was perfect. Just sharing possible ideas to help.

    A beautiful apartment in an old school. A proper comfortable home from home. An 8 minute stroll down into Alnwick which has some good pubs serving gorgeous food. Centrally located to the surrounding areas/attractions. We absolutely loved it and will be returning next year for longer as we crammed so much in, in 2 nights/3 days.

    The light for the outside corridor only worked from the end nearest the street , when leaving the apartment in the dark it was quite hazardous. The light above the door also didn’t come on (it looked like a light that was on a sensor ) The shower was a little annoying as you had to hold it to be able to use it (I’m a shower person ) . None of these things impacted the holiday just worth a mention for potential improvement.

    The property was in a really good location and was very homely. We loved that it had history as the old school. It was super cosy and we would recommend to friends.

    This apartment is not suitable for people with mobility issues. Down a narrow alleyway and then up to the front door via outside well worn steps.

    Perfectly situated in a side street this apartment was perfect for discovering the town of Alnwick and it's surrounding countryside and coastline. Berwick to the north and Tyneside to the south were easily accessible. The apartment was well presented and spotlessly clean with generously proportioned rooms. Parking was outside in the street but it isn't a busy street so quite safe.

    Great location, everything in walking distance. The apartment was spotless & very well equipped. An abundance of towels! Parking was very easy & so was access to the property. We received a lovely e mail from our hosts explaining everything. We are cyclists & took bikes which we stored under the steps & very safe. I would definitely book this property again. Thank you.

    Plenty of hot water & excellent pressure, but since there is no shower curtain or glass panel showering was bit of a challenge.

    The location (5 minutes walk to the High street, 3 minutes walk from bus station & supermarket). Facilities were basic (like no microwave) but very comfortable (bed, sofa etc.). Excellent tv & internet reception. Bright spacious rooms nicely put together.
