Lovely cottage everything clean and tidy. Excellent location only a couple of minutes walk to centre and castle. Had lovely weekend and would definitely go again
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.
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.
This cottage fits the image generated by its name. Comfortable, clean and nestled into the old walls of the town adjacent to the old bar entrance to the town
Modern appliances are efficient and plentiful.
Loved our stay!!!!
Ideal spot to visit Alnwick and surrounds.
Three good restaurants within 100yards also pub very close.
Although no parking at door, we had no problems with free parking within 100 yards.
Cottage had everything we needed and comfy beds.
Perfect location - 10 mins either way and you have everything you'll need
Bathroom has bath and shower. A must for me
The cottage had little touches like DVDs, games, charging points for phones/tablets
The owner was very reachable
Information pack was useful
Infact couldn't fault anything about it
Lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very convenient for all the amenities and attractions of Alnwick, and also for exploring further afield.
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.
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.
A perfect holiday cottage in the centre of Alnwick. Close to all the best pubs and restaurants and within a few hundred yards of the castle and gardens.
The spacious sitting/dining room is warm and comfortable and like the bedrooms and bathroom is pleasantly furnished. All-in-all probably the best cottage we've stayed in. Fresh flowers on arrival and a welcome basket of wine and essentials were a very nice gesture as well.
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.
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
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.
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.
This was one of the nicest properties we have rented as frequent self-caterers. It was true to its description in the on-line specification. The whole experience was very comfortable and we would be very happy to return in the fiture. The property had lots of homely touches and had obviously been well planned in its refurbishment for the rental market. We appreciated the generous welcome pack and the way the owners did not stint with kitchen utensils and tableware (something we have often found to be very frustrating!)
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 !
We are a couple who live in Leeds,West yorkshire with 2 grown up boys. We first visited Alnwick in 2010 and fell in love with the area and the very friendly people. Our favourite places to visit are the many beaches. castles and gardens, Alnwick, Holy Island, Craster, Alnmouth. Dunstanborough, There are plenty of lovely little shops, restaurants real ale pubs and cosy coffee shops in the surrounding towns and villages..
The cottage is central in Alnwick with lots of cafe's and restaurants nearby and plenty of shops and places to visit. We try to keep Puddleduck cottage cosy and welcoming for our guests to enjoy. We also have a great cleaner called Joyce who lives just round the corner from the cottage.
