We stayed here with 7 adults, a toddler and 4 dogs and the place couldn’t have been more perfect! We felt right at home straight away, the place was spotless and there were so many helpful recommendations in the little black book. We were within 5-10 minutes walking distance of Alnwick Town and only 2 minutes away from the amazing Barter Books! Whenever we messaged, the host responded quickly, efficiently and friendly. We will definitely be returning!

A really lovely place to stay, which accommodated our group of 6 and 2 dogs with ease! All the bedrooms are clean and spacious. This property was close to Barter’s Books and a walkable distance from Alnwick - perfect to stroll in to town for brunch or dinner. The only thing I would say, is that if you’re a large group, factor in extra time if you want a shower. There is only 1 and it’s within the en-suite of the bedroom attached to the living space. However the other bathroom has a lovely big bath

Beautiful place, clean and spacious. Fantastic location within walking distance of Alnwick and driving distance to the spectacular Northumberland coast. The apartment was well equipped and very comfortable for the 6 of us with 1 toddler. 2 parking spaces were adequate for our needs. Would definitely recommend it

This was an excellent apartment to stay. Well equipped, nice bathrooms, open plan kitchen which was well provided with plenty of crockery, glasses etc. It's in a nice area, very quiet, with very little traffic noise. The seating is comfortable. There were only 4 of us so we had plenty of space - 8 adults might be a bit different. It was very clean and everything was in good condition and worked well. My only small comment is that the instructions to find the apartment and get in made it harder than it needed to be. We were lucky because we happened to stop very near the right place and ask someone who was in their garden, to discover that they were residents of the same apartment building. I don't think it's just me because they said that they frequently encountered guests who were not sure how to find / access the property. Seems such a simple thing to fix, because the property is not even remotely difficult to locate if you had suitable instructions. Otherwise - all excellent!

Lovely apartment in a great location. Couple of issues with sub standard furniture but the host was very responsive and will hopefully address this for future visitors. As others have said there was only one dishwasher tablet, very unrealistic for a party of 6 of us for 3 nights but we just bought our own. Same goes for loo rolls. Would be nice if the host could take on board these points for future. All in all a really lovely find to celebrate my 60th birthday with family.

The apartment was well located and comfortable. It was pretty well equipped, though there is only one shower which is en-suite and the main bathroom only has a bath and not ideal that one of the beds is in the main living accommodation. Whilst it was absolutely fine, it wasn’t quite what we needed but that’s because of our group make up: we had two children with us one of whom is a toddler and that required a bit of management because of lots of toddler hazards!

Lovely airy space but designed for appearance rather than function, if you are good at yoga you might be able to reach the loo roll when on the loo! Only 1 shower (and in the en-suite) for 8 people, while large bathroom had space but none. No cupboard space left for food to be put in. We could not get the towel rail to work. No hooks for towels or shelf for toothpaste etc .ACCESS was VERY DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING as place advertised as entire property/old Workhouse In fact it was FLAT 4 WAGONWAY HOUSE and KEYSAFE IN CARPARK This had apparently been communicated on the morning we drove up there in 1of 3 emails sent that morning also 2 the day before looking for £65 extra if we wanted in a few hours sooner! The late communication and lack of clarity did significantly adversely affect our stay. After a long journey we wasted so much time we missed out on meeting up with relatives . ( the emergency number to an office somewhere did help, but there was no number for our invisible host).

The photos looked lovely and we were looking forward to staying in a rather elegant place. Some of the furniture didn’t match the photos- and the crockery, cutlery and glassware were not adequate for our stay. Location is great, but venue overall was disappointing for the high price .

We had a great stay here for a weekend with family. The apartment was spacious and well laid out, enough space for our party of 5 adults and 3 young children. Ideal location just a short walk to Alnwick.

A great little spot with easy access to town and everything you need. We didn’t realise there was only one shower, so just bear this in mind if there are lots of you!

Beautiful flat, beautiful area with lots to see and do we would go again. Only downside was the hoover that was supplied didnt work properly and the limited toilet rolls (2 for 8 adults staying 4 days) and dishwasher tablets (only 1 tablet for 4 days).

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.

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

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
