With its stylish interiors and view of Alnwick Castle, this chic escape welcomes couples and solo travellers seeking a base in the town’s historic heart. Set out on foot to discover the magic of the iconic ‘Harry Potter’ castle, marvel at the unique poison garden, dine in a treetop restaurant and get lost among the bookshelves in one of England’s largest secondhand book shops. Further afield, enjoy beach strolls and birdwatching in Alnmouth (5 miles), head to Seahouses (15 miles) to hop on a wildlife boat trip to the Farne Islands, and discover golden beaches and dramatic castles along the Northumberland Coast Path.
This stylish apartment is part of a malthouse conversion, a former brewery that’s been transformed into luxury flats. Hop in the lift or take the stairs from the shared entrance and leave coats and shoes in the hall. The first door to your left is a contemporary bathroom with a rainfall shower over the bath, while the second door on the left takes you to an open-plan living space where patio doors and a Juliet balcony frame castle views and fill the room with natural light. A plush sofa has been thoughtfully arranged to face both the view and TV. There’s a dining table for two, and a sleek kitchen equipped with all the essentials for easy self-catering. Across the hall, the restful bedroom has a king-size bed, chaise lounge, ample storage and more castle views.
While there’s no outdoor space at this property, the amenities and gardens of Alnwick are all around, and private parking is available for one car.
