Entire home in Northumberland, United Kingdom
The space
Old Reading Room oozes character and charm throughout its spacious rooms. Retaining many features of the historic past, including beams and wooden floors, it is bursting with elegance and makes the perfect holiday let to gather with friends and family.The beautiful and impressively spacious living room has a feature fireplace housing an attractive wood burner, with period plate shelving around all the walls, used as storage for books. This is a delightful room and the hub of the home.
The individually designed, bespoke country kitchen has been custom made by a local kitchen maker and has granite and solid wood worktops as well as a large island and butler sink.
A fabulous wide central staircase with polished timber handrails leads to the first-floor landing with two skylights providing oodles of natural light and the exposed beams accentuate the historic nature of this gorgeous home.
The property features three bedrooms – one king, one double, and one twin. The master king features an ensuite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms have access to the main bathroom in the property.
A trundle bed is available in the master bedroom at Old Reading which can be made up upon request. When made up, the occupancy of the property will be increased to 8.
The family bathroom offers a bathtub with separate shower, WC and basin, while the ensuite is home to a walk-in shower. On the ground floor, there is a third bathroom which acts as a wet room.
From the front gate, a long path meanders to the front of the property. To the side elevation there is a gorgeous south-facing, cottage-style garden, enjoying the sun from early morning until late evening, visited by barn owls at night. A separate enclosed garden can be found off from the cottage garden. Great for dogs, this is a generously sized space.

Nice house and good location! We did find that a couple of things could have done with a bit more TLC - dirty cutlery drawers, some dirty cutlery, and the bare minimum of things provided (e.g. the listing says there's tea and coffee but there were only 6 teabags for 6 people for three nights, it also says there's shampoo etc providef and there were only a couple of small sample sizes left for us to use). Very good size house for six people and you're close to a lot of good Northumberland spots, but make sure you pack your own shampoo and tea bags!

This is a lovely property and the location is excellent for both Alnmouth and Alnwick, whether coming by train or car. The property is very well equipped. There was a bit of a damp smell when it rained from an issue with the old walls but otherwise a very pleasant house.
