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! ##### Emma K.

The kitchen was a great size with a breakfast bar for dining and the toilet/shower room was of a very high standard. The location was great and access to the town and beach was less than a couple of minutes walk, there is a parking space within the confines of the property and ample outdoor dining space if needed.

Helen was really easy to contact and enable access. ##### Malcolm W. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia G. 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely property and gorgeous area I stayed at this property for just three nights because I needed a break away from Manchester city life. The property is stunning. It was spotlessly clean. Everything is very much quality - even the taps! The towels, robes, bedding, again, all discernibly high quality. There were lots and lots of towels which made me feel looked after. I very much appreciated all the shower gels, shampoo, hair conditioners and body conditioners that were in abundance. I had far more than I actually needed. They looked carefully sourced. There were also hand moisturizing creams in helpful places, such as the kitchen. There were also lovely diffuser sticks around and about the place - a thoughtful touch. I also very much enjoyed Alexa! Wifi worked immediately for me, no bother which was another plus. The only slight problem I had was I didn't realize that I needed to give the front gate a good push - the person delivering the post helped me. And then I couldn't actually find the black box with the code for the key - I assumed it would be by the front door but it isn't. Again, the post-person helped me. But this is really minor, and I'm a bit rubbish at this kind of thing anyway. Everyone in the village was amazingly friendly and helpful. The village store just opposite was epic - they sell everything! There are truly fab places to eat also in the village. The beach is two minutes away and mesmerizing!! I can't recommend this place enough!!! ##### Patricia G.

Despite its central location, it is secluded and quiet, with plenty of room to relax outside if the weather allows. The accommodation is small, but perfectly formed to a high standard and is kitted out with all the equipment and utensils you are likely to need. The host responded quickly to all communications and bent over backwards to be helpful. Highly recommended all round. ##### John V.

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! ##### Iain C.

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. ##### Sarah Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen M. 25 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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 ##### Karen M.

It is perfectly situated in alnmouth. The host was really great at communicating and really helpful. The property has everything you need and is well equipped with all mod Comms. The house was tidy and well presented. This is a good base if you are wanting to explore Northumberland and a lovely place to find a retreat from everyday life ##### Lizzie k.
