The Physicians House sits in the centre of Alnwick, Northumberland, just 200 metres from the town centre. This Georgian house once formed part of the Duke of Northumberland estate before passing to Robert Wilson Esq. MD, a physician who helped shape changes for coal workers across Northumberland. The house is a 5-star rated property, sleeping up to 10 guests across four floors linked by sweeping staircases.

Alnwick itself is a historic market town with bars, restaurants, cafés and shops on the doorstep. A public car park sits 110 yards away and is free to use. The Playhouse theatre is a few doors down and a local lounge-bar sits directly across the road, so evenings out need no driving at all.

Five bedrooms sleep guests across a super king, two kingsize rooms (one zip-and-link), a double and a bunk room. Three bathrooms include a roll-top bath with a phone or iPad holder and a large stone Rak double rainfall shower. Downstairs the vault bar offers a characterful spot for a nightcap, while the top floor holds a cinema room with Xbox 360, Atari and games. A rear garden and courtyard with a chimenea give space to sit outside.

Alnwick Castle is a 2-minute walk away and was a filming location for the Harry Potter films, with guided tours and themed events running through the year. Alnwick Garden, also close by, features the Grand Cascade waterfall, a poison garden and the largest treehouse in Europe. Alnmouth, 4 miles away (around 10 minutes by car), has a sandy beach and a small village to walk around. Golf, fishing and horse riding are all available nearby.

This is a house built for family get-togethers and celebrations with friends, not for quiet couples' breaks. With its cinema room, vault bar and central position near Alnwick Castle, The Physicians House gives large groups plenty to do without leaving the property.
