Considering this was a last minute booking, we landed on our feet. However, although the cottage was clean and comfortable we do feel it needs a proper over bath shower in the main bathroom. Up to six people using the en suite shower is not ideal. A few little niggles include, idiosyncratic heating, broken kitchen floor tiles, the television is past it's best and the large living room windows which catch the sun are in desperate need of a clean. However having said all that we really enjoyed our stay at the Steadings, which is just a 5 min drive from beautiful Alnwick.
