Emma
Really loved the cosy cottage, just a quick stroll to town, super cleanand comfy beds too!
Emma Collins
We had an amazing stay at Thornbrae Cottage! It’s such a cosy, welcoming place, perfect for relaxing. The hot tub was a real treat after a day exploring. The location couldn’t be better-just a short walk into Alnwick, close to Alnwick Castle and those beautiful Gardens. We loved visiting Barter Books at the station and enjoyed a meal at The Oak pub at the top of the road. The nearby supermarkets and the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday market made everything easy. We’ll definitely be back!
Emily Carter
We loved the place! It’s really spacious and finished to a high standard, super cleanand the beds were comfy. The bathrooms were great and the kitchen had everything we needed, plus some nice treats. The hot tub was a real bonus. Perfect spot for exploring the coast. Big thanks to Mark for being flexible with our timings because of someone feeling unwell. Definitely recommend this place!

The bungalow was really roomy and comfy, perfect for four adults. We barely noticed the traffic noise from the road, more just a background hum. Walking into town was easyand Alnwick’s a great spot to explore the surroundings. Definitely a good find!

We loved the place! It’s really well equippedand the high spec makes it feel special. The hot tub was perfect after a long hike. Alnwick’s just a short walk away, with cosy cafes and pubs. Definitely try Dirty Dog and Melvins, but remember to book, especially on weekends. We’ll be coming back for sure!
