Fossil Bank, a luxury detached retreat in the heart of Alnmouth, with parking

This beautifully newly renovated detached retreat is the perfect escape, whether for a few days or a week, or even longer. It has king 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, both with The White Company linen (or equivalent) and sumptuous Hungarian goose down duvets and pillows. Ideally situated in the village close to the beach, golf club, park, fabulous local restaurants and traditional British pubs. The property is secluded from the main street in a courtyard, and gates lead from the main street. There is on road parking outside the gates and if you would prefer to park inside, the courtyard has ample space. The kitchen has all the usual amenities plus a dishwasher and washing machine. To make your stay pleasurable the property benefits from BT hi speed free Wifi, Apple TV, land line telephone, Bose bluetooth speaker, DVD players and large screen Smart TV. Outside there are tables and chairs with The White Company cushions, and table linen. The beach, park and local shops are literally minutes walk away, the post office and general store is directly opposite just across the road. Simply close the gates behind you for a totally relaxing well deserved break. Please contact me for further information or specific information. Check in time 4pm, check out time 10am. Usually we are flexible with check in times, however due to Covid 19 and aiming to keep everyone safe, we will be applying strict check in and out times, and we will be leaving a day between guests changing over. We will ensure the property is deep cleaned after each stay. Although disappointing, we have removed many soft furnishings from the property including large cushions , throws and ornaments for the highest hygiene standards. To ensure the highest clean possible, we will use a disinfectant spray on all soft furnishings that can't be laundered each time, eg settee, carpets, blinds, chairs, carpets. As we move out of the pandemic, we will continue to offer a deep clean and cushions / throws etc will be reintroduced

Our time at The Bank
A Lovely little cottage with all the tech you need in great location and our own gardener (Ted). We had a great time in a great little town. Only teeny issue was that Master bedroom is up very steep stairs so we snuggled up in the other bedroom: otherwise can’t fault a thing. Helen was really easy to contact and enable access.

Cosy little hideaway
My husband, my 8 year-old daughter and I just had a week's stay at Fossil Bank. The cottage is really well equipped, beautifully decorated and super cosy. We loved the garden and secure parking, and the location on the high street but so close to the beach was brilliant. We had a slight hiccup on checking in, but it was sorted asap by Helen, who was an excellent host. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here. Thanks Helen!

Beautiful property
Fossil Bank is a delightful cottage in a very pretty village. Beautifully furnished, really well equipped, and our granddaughter was absolutely thrilled with the treats for us on our arrival. Giant Toblerone and fun sized treats, child heaven. The adults were quite delighted too! We would happily have a return visit to Fossil Bank, a great location for exploring the area. Lots to keep children and adults busy, great places to eat in the village. Enjoyed our visits to Alnwick, Warkworth Castle and village, Amble. Would recommend the village treasure hunt bought from the Post Office across the road, great way to explore the village. Our granddaughter loved it!

Fossil Bank is a wonderful property, right on the high street, but completely private, minutes from the beautiful beach. My friends and I had a wonderful time, we loved all the special touches that Helen had put in place and from a practical perspective it had everything we needed (the parking spaces were very welcome). Alnmouth is a great location, we easily managed trips to so many amazing places such as Craster, Cragside, Alnwick castle and gardens, Bamburgh Castle to name just a few. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic week
Our stay at Fossil Bank was definitely helped by the beautiful weather, so we could fully enjoy the beach and surrounding area. The courtyard area was fantastic to sit out in at all times of the day and has a very Mediterranean feel. The cottage is beautiful, with lots of little extras - little luxurious touches but also lots of practical extras too. The local shops were friendly and well stocked; our daughter sampled a few different flavour ice creams from the nearby shop. We had a wonderful week at Fossil Bank and would love to return. Helen is incredibly helpful and friendly in her emails, which makes a big difference too. Thank you xxx
