Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Up North suits families well thanks to its three bedrooms and central location. Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Gardens sit a short walk away, both great for a day out. Note the steep, narrow internal stairs across three storeys and there's no cot or highchair provided, so pack accordingly if travelling with young children.
For Couples
Couples will enjoy the luxurious bathroom with its double-ended spa bath and mood lighting, perfect for unwinding after a day out. Alnwick's high street sits just steps away, with restaurants, bars and Barter Books bookshop all within walking distance. The coast is 5 miles off and Alnwick Gardens' Treehouse Restaurant makes a lovely spot for dinner.
Pet Friendly
Unfortunately Up North does not allow pets under any circumstances. This applies throughout the property and across all three storeys. Guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere, as house rules strictly prohibit pets of any kind during the stay.
