Fox House is a three-storey holiday home just outside Alnwick in Northumberland. It sits close enough to town that you can leave the car and walk in. The house sleeps six across three bedrooms and has two bathrooms, making it a good fit for two families sharing or a larger group of friends.

Alnwick is a working market town with cobbled streets and historic buildings, not a place built purely for tourists. You get pubs, cafes and shops on your doorstep, plus a genuine Northumbrian town feel rather than a resort atmosphere. The coast is within 5 miles, so beach days are easy to fit around a morning in town.

Downstairs there's a kitchen-diner set up well for cooking and eating together, plus a living room with a 65-inch Smart TV for evenings in. Two bedrooms sit on the first floor: a kingsize with Freeview TV and en-suite shower room and a twin with two single beds. The third bedroom is on the second floor, with its own kingsize bed and TV. A separate bathroom with bath and shower over serves the rest of the house. Outside there's a small enclosed patio with seating and off-road parking for two cars.

Alnwick Castle is in town and was used for Hogwarts scenes in the Harry Potter films (0 miles, 5-minute walk). Alnwick Garden, with its Grand Cascade waterfall and treehouse restaurant, is also walkable. Alnmouth beach is 4 miles east (10-minute drive) for golden sand. Seahouses, with boat trips to the Farne Islands to see seals and seabirds, is a 20-minute drive north.

Fox House suits families or groups wanting a base right by Alnwick's shops, castle and gardens, with the coast and Farne Islands within easy reach. Space for six, two bathrooms and a short walk into town make it practical for a longer stay. Check your dates for Fox House and book your Northumberland break today.
