Hotspur View is a two-bedroom holiday house set in the old part of Alnwick, Northumberland, on an elevated position among the town's cobbled streets. It sits right around the corner from Alnwick Castle, one of the largest inhabited castles in the UK and used as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. Access is via a flight of nine steps at the front or a ramp at the rear.

Alnwick's shops, pubs and cafes sit just 100 yards away, so everything you need is on your doorstep. The town makes a solid base for exploring the Northumberland heritage coast and countryside, with the sea just 4 miles off. This is a coastal-classified location popular for both family holidays and romantic getaways.

Downstairs, the living room has a Freeview Smart TV and the kitchen/dining room overlooks the garden with a breakfast area. Doors open onto a private rear courtyard ideal for al fresco dining. Upstairs, bedroom one has a 5ft kingsize bed and bedroom two is a twin room with two 3ft singles, sleeping four guests in total. One dog is welcome, with doggy extras included.

Just beyond the castle lies The Alnwick Garden, home to the Grand Cascade waterfall, a poison garden and the largest tree house in Europe. Alnmouth, a golden-sand coastal village, is 4 miles east. Seahouses, a fishing village with shops and pubs, is a 20-minute drive north and boat trips from there reach the Farne Islands for seal and bird spotting. Bamburgh Castle is a short walk on from Seahouses.

Harry Potter fans, history-minded families and couples wanting a coastal base will all find plenty here. Hotspur View puts the castle, garden and coastline within easy reach. Book today for a fantastic break in Alnwick for four.
