Located in Alnwick, Northumberland, this unique Grade 2 listed historic tower is the perfect retreat for a couple looking for a romantic break and to explore the beautiful, historic town and the wider Northumberland area. The tower is within walking distance to the market square, where visitors can explore cobbled streets, independent shops, friendly pubs, and good restaurants. Nearby attractions include the Alnwick Gardens, Alnwick Castle, Holy Island, and the stunning coastline with fishing villages and ancient castles such as Alnmouth, Warkworth, Embleton, and Bamburgh.
Upon entering the tower, guests will climb a narrow, spiral stone staircase to the first floor which features an open plan contemporary kitchen/diner with large arched windows providing plenty of natural light. The kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances, and guests can enjoy meals at the dining table or at the separate island. A mezzanine level above the kitchen offers stunning views of the town, Alnwick Castle, and the countryside, providing a peaceful spot to relax with a book or plan outings. The second floor houses a comfortable lounge with a Smart TV and a Gothic stone carved east window offering magnificent views of the castle, especially at dawn.
The property also features a light and airy bathroom with a shower and WC, as well as a spacious second mezzanine bedroom with a super king zip and link bed that can be made up as twins on request. Regrettably, no dogs, children, or babies are allowed to stay at the property. Guests can enjoy stargazing and watching the sunset from the tower, making it a truly memorable and romantic retreat for couples seeking a unique getaway in Northumberland.
