Perfectly situated in Alnwick

Cute little terraced cottage, immaculately clean and with a thoughtful gift of wine and biscuits. The small kitchen makes the best of an awkward layout. A few suggestions - a small double bed instead of a single in the smaller bedroom, an upgraded bathroom esp. the shower and recycling instructions.

Beautiful cottage and so handy for town centre. Tried most of pubs, warm welcome everywhere. Lots of homely touches to make it special, pictures, ducks, cosy throws, comfy bed. Even in early March, ok now and again to sit in outside courtyard area, well looked after property. Loved our 3 days, will come back soon. Xxx

Comfortable. homely, relaxing stay at Puddleduck Cottage

We loved the cottage - immaculately clean and comfortable with a neat backyard we sat in when sunny. And just round the corner from the shops and places to eat. Also within easy walking distance of Alnwick Castle and Gardens and within a short driving distance of the coast. it was ideal for us.

Puddleduck Stay

We really liked the cottage and the way we could just walk into town. It was a perfect spot for access to the wedding we attended in Alnwick Gardens. We found the beds comfortable and the house was spotless. We would love to return again one day.

Comfortable and conveniently situated cottage

Puddleduck Cottage was clean, comfortable and welcoming, with everything we needed for our week in Alnwick. Close to shops, bars and restaurants with free long stay parking nearby. Just a few minutes walk from Alnwick Castle and gardens. Easy to get onto routes to the coast and National Park. Ideal for our first trip to Northumberland. We know where to stay if we get to travel so far north again.

Beautiful cottage in Alnwick

The cottage is lovely. It was well equipped and very clean and comfortable. There was a generosity about the place - from the welcome basket to the basics left in the kitchen (tea, coffee, salt and pepper, washing up liquid etc). It is a few minutes from everything - playhouse, castle and gardens, restaurants. Best restaurant for us was Lilburns in Alnwick- book as soon as you can.

Lovely stay In Puddleduck Cottage

A fully equipped lovely cottage with a super comfortable bed and a pretty cute outdoor patio area.. We had a lovely stay in this perfectly positioned cottage with nearby free parking A most useful Welcome Pack on arrival with the essentials ::-) The cottage is close to the road so there is some traffic noise at times but that's what we were expecting. We would happily stay here again - Thank you

Great location in Alnwick

We were delighted with our choice of property. It was full of character, clean, comfortable and had a well kitted out kitchen. The patio area is very private and we ate a few breakfasts outside. Car parking was very easy as we managed to park for free in the street opposite most of the time. There is also a free public car park just around the corner. The location of the cottage is perfect with the Market Square, foodie pubs, Alnwick Castle, The Alnwick Garden and the Playhouse just a quick walk away. Alnwick itself is well situated for quick access to both the coastal towns and the National Park. We had a great stay and highly recommend.

Beautiful cottage

We had a fantastic family holiday in this beautiful cottage. Probably one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in. It is warm, cosy and beautifully maintained. Janet and Neil have thought of every little detail and provided everything to a very high standard. There were some welcoming goodies for us on our arrival and also some fresh flowers. What a lovely touch. The cottage is in an excellent location, literally 30 seconds walk from Alnwick castle and a short car ride to some beautiful beaches. We loved it.

beautiful cottage !

We stayed at Puddle duck for 3 nights as part of my partners birthday celebrations. We have visited Alnwick before but have never stayed in the town centre. We were pleasantly surprised on arrival to find how close the cottage was to all amenities, restaurants, pubs and shops etc. The cottage was more than we expected and we entered to find it lovely and warm ( it was really cold outside ) and the heating was already on. Puddle duck is beautifully presented, clean and welcoming. Everything we could have possibly needed was included and Janet (owner) has thought of everything a guest might need or want during their stay. We planned to eat in, but quickly found the great little italian restaurant next to the fleece inn amongst other eateries we found during our stage. We enjoyed all that is Alnwick but the icing on the cake was staying at puddle duck. We hope to return as soon as possible. Thanks Janet for such a great time !
