A beautifully thought out couple's hideaway in a quiet side street in the heart of the popular village of Alnmouth. The contemporary timber clad exterior invites guests in to a compact but tastefully decorated holiday abode which has just been renovated by its owners who live next door. The property adjoins their home. A short walk will take you to the shops, golf club and eateries and, of course, the spectacular beach. The interior is designed with largely first floor accommodation and full height windows to take advantage of the light and the lovely sea and village view.

Please note there is no Ocean Leisure club membership for guests staying at the Alnmouth Boathouse

Location and Locality

Located on a quiet lane leading down towards the beach in Alnmouth - our most southerly coastal cottage location.  This is a popular seaside village located on an estuary and close to Warkworth.  A picturesque coastal village, Alnmouth was originally founded as a medieval borough or new town in 1150.  The town became established as a grain port and shipbuilding centre between the years of 1207 and 1208. Today Alnmouth remains a beautiful and interesting village and is worth exploring. There are a variety of restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and gift shops for the discerning visitor to enjoy. 2 good golf courses and a great beach complete the picture. Alnwick is a 10 minute drive away.

Price Guide

Candid Comments ( telling you the only downsides we can think of about a property before you book!)

Guests should note that their is no bath at this property but the shower is a large walk-in style luxury one. There is no private parking space for this property just on street parking outside. In Summer, parking space can be at a premium in Alnmouth so guests may find they cannot park right outside the door. Overall the property is compact but very well-designed with a light and airy feel and furnishings and decor which more than compensate. There is no log fire but the views through the large window provide the focal point. With a number of steps both outside and inside the property, this would not be suitable for those with mobility problems.

 No landline - sorry. The owners have left a charged mobile for your use in case you don't have your own mobile
