Hotspur Hill House

A luxury one-bedroom holiday apartment, situated one minute's walk from both Alnwick town centre and the Alnwick Garden; recently refurbished to an exemplary standard with a mix of rustic charm and all mod cons. Ready to welcome visitors from April 2017.

The Apartment

This early nineteenth century property was once a Victorian school house, but has been a dwelling for over a hundred years. In 2015 the property was purchased by its current owner, and no expense has been spared on renovating this beautiful and elegant apartment.

The large windows have been double-glazed with heritage glass, and the gas-fired central heating system is brand new. Even so, there is a beautiful log-burning stove in the living room fireplace - with fuel provided - so the apartment is truly a cosy space even with its modern, light and airy open-plan aesthetic.

Other features include a wetroom with both rainfall shower and handheld showerheads ( the plumbing has also been completely refitted in 2017); a washing machine and sensor dryer; a fully modern kitchen with a brand new dual fuel cooker, fridge /freezer, kettle, toaster, microwave and dishwasher; a 32” television with Freeview and DVD player; free wifi access; inside storage for up to two bicycles; and an outdoor area, shared with a second holiday apartment.
There is a large breakfast bar (that will also function as a perfect workspace if required), along with a bespoke drop-leaf oak table that can be quickly set up in the living room area for evening dining.
Bedding, towels, a hairdryer, soaps, complimentary shower gel, shampoo and conditioner are all provided. Coffee, tea, sugar and milk will be present upon arrival.

Hotspur Hill House is situated on a quiet side street of Alnwick, a picturesque medieval market town and the county town of Northumberland. The town centre is a one minute walk away, as is the famous Alnwick Garden (situated within the grounds of Alnwick Castle). The Tanners Arms - an award-winning real ale pub and staple of The Good Beer Guide - can be found at the bottom of the street.
The coast and nearest beach is at Alnmouth, two miles to the East. Alnwick itself is in the heart of Northumberland: a great base from which to explore our fair county, and easily accessible as it is directly adjacent to the A1.

Getting Around

There is parking on the street directly outside the property, or a free council car park thirty yards away (so long as you have a parking disc).
Alnwick bus station is five minutes walk away, with bus stops fifty yards in either direction. The nearest railway station is three miles away at Alnmouth, on the East Coast main line. A list of local taxi numbers will be available in the guest information book.
