Percy's Place is a ground-floor apartment tucked into the Castle Quarter of Alnwick, Northumberland. It sleeps four across two bedrooms, each with a double bed and has its own private bathroom facilities. Despite sharing a communal building entrance, guests get their own independent private access straight into the apartment. The open-plan living space makes it a practical base for couples, friends or small families.

Alnwick itself sits on the edge of some genuinely wild scenery. The 20-mile Heritage Coastline, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies to the east and the heather-capped Cheviot Hills stretch out to the west. The town centre is walkable and packed with independent shops, tea rooms and a cinema, so you won't need the car much once you've parked up.

Inside, bedroom one has an ensuite with a cubicle shower and toilet, while bedroom two shares the main bathroom, which has a bath with shower attachment. The kitchen comes with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The living area has a Freeview TV and DVD player, plus a separate dining area for meals in.

The standout here is the address itself: Alnwick Castle is less than 100 yards from the door, a few minutes' stroll and it's the real-life Hogwarts from the Harry Potter films. Alnwick Gardens is also well worth a visit. Golf is nearby for a round between sightseeing and the beach is just 4 miles away. A pub and restaurant both sit within 100 yards, so evenings out mean no driving at all.

Anyone wanting Alnwick Castle on their doorstep should look no further than Percy's Place. It suits couples or small families who want to walk everywhere and skip the car. With the coastline, hills and castle all within easy reach, this is a genuinely well-placed base for a Northumberland break. Book your stay at Percy's Place today.
