Glebelands Lodge sits in the heart of Alnwick, Northumberland and it's a genuine find. This is a Grade II listed, stone-built lodge in a single-storey gothic style, completely refurbished but keeping its period character. It stands within its own grounds, detached from neighbours, with a homely feel throughout. Sleeps four across two bedrooms, so it suits couples or small families well.

Alnwick itself is a historic market town and you're within walking distance of a cinema, restaurants, independent shops and several pubs. The coast lies 5 miles away, with 20 miles of Heritage coastline to the east. Head west and you'll find the Cheviot Hills, heather-capped and quiet, perfect for a day's walk. There's a pub within a mile too, handy for an evening pint without needing the car.

The kitchen is light-filled and well equipped, opening straight off the main entrance, complete with a coffee machine and dishwasher. The living/dining room has three large arched windows and a smart TV. Bedroom one has a double bed and a walk-in closet, plus an ensuite with a cubicle shower. Bedroom two has twin single beds. A separate bathroom offers a walk-in rainfall-style shower. A sun room at the rear leads onto the patio and lawned garden, great for a quiet coffee.

Don't miss Alnwick Castle, just over a mile away (5 minutes), used as a Harry Potter filming location. Alnwick Garden, with its Grand Cascade and Poison Garden, is a similar distance. Barter Books, a second-hand bookshop in a former station building, is worth an hour of anyone's time. Alnmouth, a coastal village with restaurants and moorings, is 4 miles away (10 minutes).

Booked out three years running as Customers' Choice, Glebelands Lodge delivers on location and character alike. Ideal for couples or small families wanting Alnwick Castle, the coast and the hills all within easy reach. Book today for a memorable break in Alnwick.
