    Fossil Bank, a luxury detached retreat in the heart of Alnmouth, with parking
    Fabulous property and location…
    5 / 5 Excellent
    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fossil Bank. Whilst the property is compact it has absolutely everything you could possible need and more. Everything is lovely quality and very clean. It is a short walk to the beach, the village shop is opposite and there are bistros and a deli to enjoy. There is a nice out door space, which we can imagine would be great in summer time. Whilst we never met Helen, she was extremely helpful and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for people to stay here.…

    5 / 5 Excellent
    We had a wonderful stay at Dogdaisy cottage, it is so comfortable and tastefully decorated with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Right on the heart of Northumberland, but within a 30 min drive to the coastal villages of Craster, Alnmouth and Bamburgh. Great shopping in Alnwick and local pubs and restaurants makes this a perfect place for a short break. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and fully recommended. Thanks for the welcome pack which was a nice surprise!…

    Brilliant property, excellent location!…
    5 / 5 Excellent
    We were so lucky to get away on holiday over October half term this year, after all the restrictions and difficulties of 2020. We really landed on our feet with this property! Situated literally around the corner from Alnwick Castle’s “back door”, it was central for everything we needed. The house itself was a home from home; beautifully clean, well stocked with all the essentials, loads of plug sockets (which were so useful for all the chargers!) and consequently somewhere we could really relax. The two reception rooms were a real bonus, and the recommendations for local eateries were spot on. Yvonne was a lovely host, and we were so happy with our stay. Thank you!…
