All the character of a country house.

Built in 1908, our Edwardian villa sits in a peaceful, leafy part of Alnwick. Inside, Arts & Crafts details, oak panelling and individually furnished rooms give the house its character. Outside, there is space to wander, sit and enjoy the garden. Bruce and Jeannette have welcomed guests here since 2004.
