    It was very difficult to use the remote control of the heating. We gave up. And the kitchen table and chairs were not so good for elderly people.

    No breakfast included. We made a good breakfast ourselves.

    Nothing, it was great!

    It was a beautiful apartment, the kitchen was extremely well equipped and being right next to Alnwick castle was incredible. The free parking down the road was really helpful (though I imagine it would be difficult to get a space in the peak of summer). Very easy to check in and out.

    Kitchen not very clean, same cloth had evidently been used to wipe the splashback above the cooker as the TV! Some maintenance needed here and there. There are three flights of stairs to the flat which were not a problem for us but might be for others, we may have missed this in the info? The high dining table is great for tall people but not so great for short people...the high stools were challenging!

    Great location, close to the castle, shops, good pubs & restaurants. Spacious flat, well appointed kitchen/rooms. Bright & comfortable, good hanging space. Well equipped throughout.

    We enjoyed Alnwick, and our visit to the castle, and the apartment is well placed, being just across the road.

    I didn’t like the the amount of clutter around, lamps and tables and dressings, don’t think they are necessary in a holiday rental. I object to the robbery of £10 of my breakages deposit being kept, as administration. We were only there for 2 nights and of course didn’t break anything, but to keep this money is not on. The WiFi is very hit and miss, drops off regularly and we had to reboot the router many times, I think this has been mentioned by other reviewers before. The outside ares is very nice, but hasn’t been cleaned, swept or tidied up for a long time. I had to clean a chair to sit on it. Again this has been mentioned before, by reviewers. The sofas and chair in the lounge area are not particularly comfortable, very low, and lumpy.

    The apartment was well equipped, modern and spacious. It was clean and tidy. The beds were clean and comfortable. Communication was good, before, during and after our stay. Found the apartment fairly well, and entry instructions were spot on. No parking on the road, so had to move the car to streets nearby.

    Only on-street parking, which could be a bit hit-and-miss, however we managed to find free overnight spaces in Pottergate New Row car park which is very close to the apartment.

    Great location overlooking Alnwick Castle and near to the town centre. The apartment looked to have been very recently decorated. It had everything we needed and everything was to a high standard. Excellent value for money.

    The checking in process wasn’t easy I had completed it online and paid the £250 damage waiver 7 days prior to the holiday only to be told on the day of arrival I hadn’t done either! I had to phone them and provide evidence of my bank statement to prove I’d paid as they couldn’t find it. I didn’t receive an apology. Also the outside area was dirty we had to clean the chairs and table before we could use them. The kitchen sink hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.

    The location was perfect literally opposite the castle walls. It was clean and nicely furnished. There was tea coffee and milk, and in the kitchen washing up liquid, a dishwasher tablet and dishcloth and tea towel. The bed was really comfortable. The shower was excellent!

    The only thing that was a little bit of an annoyance was whenever the oven or hob was on without the extractor fan it would send the smoke alarms off as they were very sensitive to the heat.

    The apartment was spacious for 4 adults. It was really comfortable and was on the doorstep to everything so did not have to use the car. The kitchen was fully equipped with with everything and more you could need for your stay. The beds were lovely and comfortable and really spacious rooms.

    We had a great stay here. The location was perfect and the view from the window of the top of the castle was beautiful. The apartment was modern and clean with everything you could need for a great stay. The only downside was the sofa and chair in the living room weren’t very comfortable but that’s only a minor problem! We were mostly out visiting places anyway :)

    The basics were all clean but there were lots of places that needed a deep clean. In the kitchen the corners of the worktop are very sharp. I would have been worried if I had young children that they could run into them and really hurt themselves. They are sharp enough that my friend caught and ripped her jacket on the one near the door to the garden. I caught myself on it too but fortunately didn’t rip my jacket.

    Lovely comfortable property

    We thought the location of the free parking areas could have been explained more clearly. And a minor thing was that we couldn't get onto Netflix on the TV due to no Internet access. That really didn't spoil our visit but we thought you'd like to know.

    The flat was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Great location. We loved it.

    Everything just fab

    Just a gorgeous apartment, well positioned for the town ctre, shops , reasturants & bars. Also Alnwick Castle, Gardens & Lilidorei. We absolutely loved the apartment spacious, comfortable, and lovely little quiks, which I personally loved 😍 LP player, guitar, very nostalgic. The patio area is a massive bonus. And we were kept well informed by "Host & Stay " who manage the apartment. 10 out of 10 from all of us 4 that stayed 🙌 we would recommend and stay again.

    Would have been helpful to have some olive oil provided and salt in the salt shaker. But not a huge deal!

    Very comfortable beds and pillows! We had amazing sleeps in this peaceful area close to town and next to beautiful Alnwick Castle. Warm, spacious and a great shower and bath. Felt we could really relax. Great to have two floors especially on a rainy day with a young family. Fantastic location in the town and free parking very close by. Appreciated the yoga mat!

    i didn’t like the parking being so far away , as i had a disabled person with me who can’t walk to far. There were spider webs behind the bath and in living area , easily hoovered up. ( i was happy to do , if hoover was available)

    i liked how close it was to the town , apartment had all the facilities needed for our stay .

    It was really disappointing to be told by Host & Stay a week before that they could keep our £250 damage deposit for up to 2 weeks after our stay & would deduct a £10 admin charge, if we weren’t happy with this we could pay a £25 non refundable charge for AD insurance- non of this was explained at the time of booking which is unacceptable.

    Really lovely apartment in the centre of Alnwick, furnished to very high standards, everything we needed for our stay was provided.
