The Space: Beautifully renovated to the highest standard, Oliver’s Den has stunning interiors throughout, giving the property a wonderful, homely feel. This family and dog friendly property boasts a well-equipped kitchen, welcoming living room with log burner, and a dining room on the ground floor, all of which with the perfect mix of traditional and modern. The living area has two fabric sofas, a flat screen TV and a cosy log burner, so you can retreat here after a fun-filled day exploring Alnwick. The shaker style kitchen is an olive-green colour which complements the otherwise neutral colour scheme. Fully equipped for self-catering stays, the kitchen has modern appliances, dishes, cookware and utensils. Ideal for socialising, the dining area includes a large wooden table and stylish blue, velvet dining chairs. You’ll also find original wooden flooring here, adding real character to the space. On the first floor, you’ll find two bedrooms and the family bathroom. Both bedrooms boast king size beds, individual colour schemes, and ample storage space so you can make yourself right at home.

Modern and sophisticated, the family bathroom has a bath and overhead shower, WC and basin. A separate WC can also be found on the ground floor. Guest Access: Guests have access to the full property.

You can also explore The Alnwick Garden where you’ll find 12 acres of magnificent gardens and the world’s largest treehouse restaurant. There is also the newly opened (Spring 2023) Lilidorei here. This is a big tourist attraction for families as it’s the world's largest play structure.
