Town Square Apartment sits right in the centre of Alnwick, Northumberland, a market town known for its historic streets. This one-bedroom apartment sleeps two and is steps from the market square itself. The layout is split over two levels, with an open-plan living and kitchen area on the ground floor and the bedroom below.

Alnwick is a market town with plenty to do on foot. Barter Books, one of the largest secondhand bookshops in Europe, occupies a former railway station nearby. The Northumberland coast is a short drive away and the countryside around town offers hiking and cycling routes straight from your door.

The bedroom is on the lower ground floor, with a 4ft 6in double bed and an ensuite shower room with a heated towel rail. Upstairs, the ground floor has an open-plan living and dining space with a Freeview Smart TV, plus a kitchen with an electric oven, hob and microwave. There's also an enclosed garden with seating, shared with other properties on-site.

Alnwick Castle, a well-known fortress with landscaped gardens, is close by and worth a visit. Barter Books is a short walk away. The Northumberland coast, with its unspoiled beaches, is a short drive. Northumberland National Park, a Dark Sky Park, is within reach for stargazing on a clear night.

One dog is welcome here, making this a solid pick for couples wanting a base in Alnwick itself rather than out in the countryside. Town Square Apartment puts the castle, the bookshop and the coast all within easy reach. Book today for a break in the heart of Alnwick.
