Beautiful location and accommodation. Area was lovely with a lot to do. Perfect for family or a group of friends. I would advise that there is only one shower in the place (en-suite to the main bathroom) and a bath in the main bathroom so be aware. Didn’t really bother us.

My family had a lovely time here, it's a fantastic space in a perfect location - 2 minutes walk away from Barter Books! Would definitely return in the future.

We had a lovely time staying there, it was lovely and spacious. The door to the flat was a little tricky to unlock at times and we had to improvise with some of the kitchen equipment. The setting was beautiful and it was a great size space for eight adults, a toddler and three dogs.

The Old Workhouse was a great venue for our family get together. First arrivals had a little trouble with the lock on the internal flat door but hosts were able to advise by phone and with a bit of 'jiggling' they got the knack of turning the key. Inside, the accommodation was beautiful and really lived up to expectation. Kitchen/dining area is perfect for big family meals and we loved the mezzanine games area with the pool table. There are so many beautiful walks and trips nearby. Walking down below Alnwick Castle on a summer evening was perfect and it's an easy drive to lovely beaches. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return in the future. Thanks all!

Beautiful apartment. Sadly for such a high end pad the cleanliness let it down. The kitchen window was dirty inside, splashes and marks all over it, the cups in the cupboard hadn’t been washed properly and some were dirty inside and out, the drinking glasses were wet and cloudy, the floor had crumbs in the kitchen and the glass dining table was marked and streaky. The ensuite bathroom had a terrible smell to it, so badly that it kept me awake even with the door closed. Something really needs to be done about that as it can’t be good for health. We were left one dishwasher tablet for 3 nights which we used on the 2nd night. If there’d been some more then I would have put the dishwasher on the morning we were leaving so the cleaners only had to unload it. I suspect this could be the reason for the dirty cups and glasses put away in the cupboard - no time to wait 2 hours for the dishwasher to do its job. Small irritations when we’d paid a lot of money but it didn’t spoil our trip.

This was a great place 2 stay. We were 2 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs. We all had plenty of space and the upstairs landing worked well for the kids base so the adults and dogs could have some peace in the main lounge. Great location, can walk into town, castle and Lidl - would definitely come back.

We enjoyed staying here and exploring Alnwick. The flat's a great space for relaxing in. Everything's within walking distance, so it's easy to get out and pop back whenever during the day.

Though apartment was pleasant and the location excellent, we would not choose to stay in any property managed by Host & Stay. We stayed for 10 nights and the small washer/dryer was impractical for use by 7 adults & 2 children. Our repeated email requests for a rack for drying clothes was never answered. We also asked for a set of clean towels for each guest half-way during our stay and we were told we would have to pay for delivery. Home Stay continue to email us about their properties but they were not good at handling what we believe to be reasonable requests based on our experience staying in other properties. Also, it would be helpful to have away to shower in the main bathroom.

We all had a lovely stay, accommodation just as the photos, plenty of hot water for showers. Easy to walk into Alnwick for restaurants (advised to book ahead as turning people away as fully booked) and walking distance to gardens and castle.

Absolutely beautiful property with lots of light and space. The kitchen was particularly well-equipped for a large group, including having two ovens. Very comfortable beds and lots of nice little touches.

Great property with fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, parking, and good living space. The mezzanine bed is fine for two adults. There is only one shower and this is within the en-suite bedroom. The main bathroom only has a toilet, sink and bath, no shower. Not particularly practical for a large group. Lovely area, lots to see an do in Alnwick and local surroundings. Would be useful to have two sets of keys, all be it we did not ask!

The apartment is clean and spacious and is close to amenities in Alnwick City Centre. A 2 minute walk to the infamous Barter Books. The rooms were spacious and had enough equipment for cooking and rainy days! There are a few things in the apartment that need fixing and sprucing up. The first floor mezzanine isn't suitable as a bedroom due to the lack of privacy and open plan setting. It lacks child safety features on both sets of stairs on either side of the room so doesn't suit children or adults as a bedroom. It does make a good child play room (watch your heads adults! Low beams!) As this is a first floor apartment, I wouldn't advise taking dogs as theres no access to a garden and due to the cream carpets we were dubious to have our dogs wandering the flat much which was dissapointing. A nice stay for those who want to be in the heart of Alnwick.

We had a fantastic stay in The Old Workhouse. The place was beautifully furnished, clean and wonderfully warm when the fire was going. We had a small issue with the washing machine, but the host quickly resolved it whilst we were out for lunch. I would highly recommend this place as a base for anyone interested in visiting Alnwick and the surrounding areas. Thank you

This property is epic! We stayed for our wedding and it was lush, loads of space and felt like a real treat. Also found the host to be super prompt and helpful when we needed to ask about the heating. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful flat in a great location. With excellent facilities and furnished to a very high standard. Two parking spaces- so plenty of parking. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in Alnwick or surrounding area. Very close to Alnwick centre for dinner and drinks which you can walk in. Would definitely stay at this place again. Had a great time here. 😀

This was a beautiful and unique place to stay. As a family we couldn’t have been more pleased with the cleanliness, communication and facilities provided. Perfect open plan areas too for spending quality time as a group.

Our stay here was 10/10. The place is decorated and furnished to a very high standard with plenty of space for a large group. the layout is great for a sociable atmosphere, the pool table and other games on the 2nd floor were a great addition. the location is ideal only a short walk onto Alnwicks Main Street. communication with the host was great. We hope to return in the future
