The Craftsman's Cottage

Set on the southern corner of Alnwick Garden, just a few yards from the legendary Barter Books second-hand book shop, Craftsman’s Cottage places all of Alnwick’s key attractions within a 10 minute walk. Cottage is arguably something of a misnomer when it comes to the Craftsman’s Cottage, which comprises spacious living areas and four generous bedrooms. Stepping through the sunny yellow front door brings you into a light-filled hall with a large sitting room to your right. The space GROUND FLOOR Main access from the front of the property (three steps up to the front door). Access hallway with hanging rail.

OUTSIDE There is a tiny patio area to the rear of the property offering some privacy. This has a cafe table and two chairs for sitting out. The size of this space means this would be limiting for outside dining, however the doors from the dining area do open up to allow fresh air and sunlight to flood in. A barbecue is not provided. Due to its position on the street, there is no private parking provision. Street parking can be found a few hundred yards from the property or in the public car park nearby. DOGS Sorry, dogs are not permitted. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The cottage sits on the main road leading into the centre of Alnwick and as such guests should be aware there may be some associated street and traffic noise, particularly from the principal front facing rooms of the property. It is important to note the spiral stair leading to the first floor which may not be particularly suitable for younger children. For safety reasons, we do not permit electric vehicle or hybrid car charging at this property.
