Neighborhood
From broomsticks to bookshops, tree houses to cherry blossoms, and jousts to dragons, you can't miss the magic of the cobbled market town of Alnwick.
Visiting Alnwick is like stepping into a fairytale town, where you can dine in the twinkling treetops of one of the world’s largest treehouse restaurants, fly a broomstick at Alnwick Castle, and discover the intrigue of the poison garden at The Alnwick Garden.
Alnwick Castle is spellbinding. Discover the magic of Harry Potter and the castle's starring role in the Harry Potter movies as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enjoy the beautiful castle grounds where you can discover local wildlife, learn more about the landscape design, as well as immerse yourself in the local history and the castle's medieval architecture, the opulent Italianate State Rooms and the fine and decorative art collections, and the historic artefacts in the castle’s museums.
Combine your visit with a trip to The Alnwick Garden, one of the most spectacular gardens in the UK. This enchanting site holds 4000 different plants, a Grand Cascade, a mysterious Poison Garden full of deadly plants and a seasonal cherry orchard. Explore The Alnwick Treehouse, where indoor branches are intertwined with sparkling fairy lights and a flickering open fire takes centre stage. Those who are a little more adventurous can reach the restaurant via a wobbly bridge that becomes even more spectacular at night as fairy lights line the outdoor area. Visit The Alnwick Garden and their village of play, Lilidorei, where you're in for a treat with their wide range of events and magical days out!
Don't miss Bailiffgate Museum & Gallery, which holds over 10,000 years of history in its charming stone walls. You can admire its beautiful architecture while you discover artefacts, photographs and audio-visual displays that showcase fascinating stories and culture through time.
Just a short walk through Alnwick’s winding cobbled streets and past the archway of Bondgate Tower, the only remaining chunk of the town walls, will take you to Barter Books. Settle into an armchair by the open fire and grab yourself a coffee as you immerse yourself in the literary world while toy trains chug above you.

We liked the spacious accommodation , the woodland walk gardens, well equipped kitchen. Everything made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Very pleasant hosts. <br/>Would recommend bringing a car although with the bus stop being right outside we managed very well.<br/>It was a home from home...very cosy, books on the bookshelves etc.

The property was in a great location to explore Alnwick and beyond. <br/>It was warm, cosy and homely. Plenty of hot water and comfy bed. <br/>Nice touches such as teabags and milk left. <br/>Would stay again.<br/><br/>The property isn’t the most modern in terms of appliances and furnishings- we didn’t mind that however as it was lovely and homely.

Though it had been mentioned, we found the distance from the car to the premises difficult as we both walk very badly

Hidden fee warning! Host and stay make you pay a £25 damage waiver after booking and as the bookings are non refundable you have to pay - never experienced anything like this on airbnb, hence the low rating.<br/>Place was nice enough, decent location. However, you will have people in the rooms directly above you. The building is reasonably old so if they are being noisy and you are trying to sleep (as we experienced) it can be a bit tough going.

We had a really wonderful weekend in the Lower Lodge - it's such a perfect base for exploring Alnwick and the coast. The kitchen is really well appointed; the shower is excellent (water pressure and temp); and the bedroom and lounge are really comfortable. It is a beautiful space - so quiet and peaceful - and easily walkable into Alnwick (past Barter Books!). Also - for exploring further - it's really easy to get to the M1 and up the coast. Really easy communication with the hosts as well. We arrived to a lovely tray of tea, hot chocolate, and a box of 'Canadian Maple Syrup' granola bars (we are Canadians), which was a sweet touch (and fueled our hikes on the weekend!). There's also lots of information about the area in the flat, which was really helpful as we'd not been to Alnwick before.
