Cosy former miner's cottage near Alnwick

Situated just a couple of miles south of Alnwick in Hampeth, Dexter Cottage is in a terrace of former miners’ cottages, originally built for the workers at Whittle Colliery.

Renovated in 2019, it boasts a really tranquil space that we ourselves have loved spending time in; a genuine home from home.

With its location adjacent to the A1, the major road route through Northumberland, Dexter Cottage makes an ideal base for exploring both coast and country, and everything in between.

The property was nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. We found everything we needed in the kitchen - it felt like a home-from-home. It was a perfect base for exploring a beautiful area. Wouldn't hesitate to book again when we're next in the area.

Lovely stay

Nice modern spacious bungalow. Well equipped and comfortable. Good communication with Iain- especially helpful when we had problems with the internet/ tv. Might be useful to have some instruction manuals for the tv, microwave etc. Handy location for the A1 and for accessing the beautiful beaches. Would definitely return.
