Greycroft is an award-winning four-star Gold B&B with an outstanding reputation for providing guests with a relaxing ‘home from home’ experience and a range of tempting breakfasts which allow you to sample a range of the region’s very best local produce. Nestled in the heart Alnwick’s conservation area, Greycroft is the perfect base for a relaxing break and exploring Northumberland’s wonderful coast and countryside, with the benefit of being just a two minute walk from the town centre, with its restaurants and other attractions such as the Alnwick Castle and Gardens. After a long day exploring guests can enjoy the use of the beautiful walled garden and comfortable guest lounge. All bedrooms are ensuite and have free wifi access. The property also has guest parking in a private road.
Alnwick is a historic market town ideally placed to explore the beautiful and varied county of Northumberland. Alnwick Castle, known as the Windsor of the North, has been used in the Harry Potter films as the Hogwarts School and is the second largest inhabited Castle in England. It has also featured as a location for the filming of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Blackadder, Downton Abbey and more. The castle, owned by the Duke of Northumberland, is open to the public throughout the summer. Alnwick Garden is one of the most exciting contemporary gardens to be developed in recent times, and also houses one of the largest tree houses in the world, the Treehouse restaurant. Also in the centre of town is Barter Books. This former Victorian railway station now serves as one of the largest second hand bookshops in europe and has a popular cafe and ice cream parlour. Outside the town are mile upon mile of unspoiled countryside and coast, perfect for walking or picnics and, with Northumberland being one of the most sparsely populated counties in England, peace and tranquillity are on the doorstep.
