West Acre House, a former vicarage was built in 1908 and shortly after became the home of the Reverend Lee and his wife. The house is a beautiful Edwardian Villa built in a leafy suburb of Alnwick town to the east of the town centre. The house stands in its own 1 acre garden with mature shrubs trees and lawns, all of which are available for our guests to enjoy. We offer 4 themed en-suite bedrooms, the Georgian Room (twin) with 2 4ft wide beds and three doubles with king-size beds, the Edwardian Room, Oriental Room and the Parisian Room. We serve a full varied English Breakfast as well as providing multiple cereal choices, a lovely fresh fruit salad and range of toasted breads and preserves. We try and cater for most diets and can usually accommodate.
