Amazing Cottage!

My husband & I were travelling from the US, & were so fortunate to find Porter Cottage. It was situated so close to the center of Alnwick, & the property itself was extremely clean & homely.

Nice cottage in theory but absolutely filthy. Also quite basic. Frustrating as so close to being niceA few more tweaks, a bit more thought about practicality’s and a thoroughly good clean would sort. Disappointing to have had to clean the property

The property was very clean and properly kitted out for everything we might need. The location is excellent - with a handy co-op shop right around the corner and writhing walking distance of Alnwick castle, gardens, pubs, and shops, really nice! The hosts were amazing communicators who responded to our questions quickly with thorough answers and appreciated local information too. We had a delightful stay in Alnwick, thanks to this lovely home - would definitely recommend!
