First time visiting Alnwick and Northumberland . The cottage is in the most perfect location . 2 mins to the centre of Alnwick, which is lovely . It has lovely shops , bars and restaurants Harry’s bar and the dirty bottles are great . Hot wok Chinese is just yummy . Twizell cottage is comfy and cozy and has everything you need . It’s also in a brilliant location to explore the beaches of Northumberland . 10 minute drive . Would we come back to Northumberland YES , would we stay here YES . Our dog Marley also loved the cottage and settled well . A lovely holiday had by us all . We will be back ..
