Northumberland » Alnwick
Sleeps 2
Bedrooms: 1

Folly Cottage is a stone-built cottage in Alnwick, Northumberland, one of a pair given a complete refurbishment in 2018. It sleeps two, with one bedroom and one bathroom, making it a proper hideaway for couples rather than a family base. An open fire sits in the ground floor living space.

Alnwick is a historic market town and this cottage sits tucked behind the market square, reached via an arch and a walk up the old Correction House Lane. Steep drops and kerbs mark the approach, so it's worth knowing before you arrive with heavy bags. A public car park sits 200 yards away and is free of charge.

About Folly Cottage

Folly Cottage is a stone-built cottage in Alnwick, Northumberland, one of a pair given a complete refurbishment in 2018. It sleeps two, with one bedroom and one bathroom, making it a proper hideaway for couples rather than a family base. An open fire sits in the ground floor living space.

Alnwick is a historic market town and this cottage sits tucked behind the market square, reached via an arch and a walk up the old Correction House Lane. Steep drops and kerbs mark the approach, so it's worth knowing before you arrive with heavy bags. A public car park sits 200 yards away and is free of charge.

There's a pub within a mile too, handy for an evening pint without needing the car.

Downstairs is open plan, with a kitchen, dining space and living area sharing one room. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and washer dryer. Upstairs holds one double bedroom with a 4ft 6in bed, plus a contemporary bathroom with a bath and shower over. Outside there's a private enclosed courtyard garden with furniture, good for morning coffee.

Alnwick Castle sits a short walk from the cottage, around 15 minutes on foot. Alnwick Garden, with its famous cascading fountain, is also close by, around a 10-minute walk. The Northumberland coast, including Alnmouth beach, lies within 5 miles (10 minutes by car). Barter Books, one of England's largest secondhand bookshops, is a 10-minute walk from the door.

This is a smart pick for couples wanting a romantic base in the middle of Alnwick, close to the castle, the garden and the coast. Folly Cottage can also be booked alongside neighbouring Cobbler's Cottage for a group of up to six. Check your dates for a well-placed break in Alnwick today.

Is Folly Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
This cottage suits couples rather than children. With just one double bedroom and a compact layout, it's not designed for families with young ones. Parents seeking a family holiday should look at larger properties nearby, such as Cobbler's Cottage, which sleeps up to four guests.
For Couples
Folly Cottage makes a genuine hideaway for two. The open fire warms the living space on cooler nights and the courtyard garden gives you a private spot for drinks outdoors. Tucked behind Alnwick's market square, you're steps from pubs and shops, yet the cottage itself stays peaceful and private.
Pet Friendly
Folly Cottage does not allow pets. If you're travelling with an animal companion, this property won't work for your trip. Consider searching for pet friendly cottages elsewhere in Alnwick or the wider Northumberland coast for a suitable alternative.
