It was cosy. The kitchen was well equipped so we could cook family meals.

Lovely property, modern and clean

The property was cold. Was a sign saying do not touch the boiler as heating set to come in every day . Never came on in the evening. Supposed to be a hive system so maybe being controlled by the owner but we were freezing and instead put the wood burner on. In the handbook said there was a thermostat in the kitchen but there wasn’t .

Porter's Cottage was a perfect choice for a long weekend, the cottage was exactly as described and Host & Stay communicated very clearly about everything from check-in, to amenities and check-out.
Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in the area.

The location was great for exploring Alnwick and Coast. Plenty of room in cottage. Parking was easy. Kitchen and utility well equipped.

Lacking a bit of storage in second bedroom. Shower room could get a bit damp if many using it, would be better to have a shower in main bedroom en suite too.

First impressions: a very welcoming. extremely clean and tidy place - once we had managed to get in. That was the only drawback, the instructions were for a different type of key safe and this one, although obvious in operation, was very reluctant to open.
Excellent facilities; well equipped spacious kitchen with good quality equipment; and a large comfortable lounge
Great to see the eco influence.
Quiet area, easily walkable into town and to local transport
Very comprehensive guide; which gives instructions for using the Hive thermostat - if you enjoy a treasure hunt try to find it (them).
Good communication from Host & Stay and very quick responses to any query.
Overall excellent and much recommended.

Porter Cottage is well presented with new and good quality furniture, bathroom and kitchen fittings. It is well equipped and very clean. The location suited us too with easy parking and close to local shops for essentials.

Could benefit from a bit more local character and extra finishing touches such as local pictures on the walls. Also more than 1 dishwasher tablet would be appreciated.

The location was ideal and you could walk to the high street very easily. The property looked like the photos shared on Airbnb. Spacious property and comfortable. Was nice to have a small outside courtyard also. Would happily stay again & recommend to friends/family :)

Well equipped home, as described and pictured. Decently clean apart from stair and upstairs carpets that had crumbs and debris from previous occupants (this is a shame as the rest of the property was clean and well presented).
Beds were extremely comfortable, linen nice, bedrooms not fussy with clutter.
Alnwick town within a comfortable walking distance as is Lidl which was roughly a 6 min walk.
On street parking seems plentiful enough, it can be trickier later on in the evening but surrounding streets offer more parking.
Small amount of welcome washing up liquid and soap provided which is always nice.
Overall a pleasant stay, thanks!

Super location! House was in a nice quiet area, very handy for shops, town and local sites. Plenty to see and do.
In particular, we liked the downstairs, as it had a lovely big kitchen which is great for those that love to cook or a nice big table if you’re just having a takeaway!
Living room was great with a good quality, big TV (which can be quite hard to find in an Airbnb).
Upstairs was ok, but bathrooms could be better with more hanging areas for towels etc. Also the cabinet above the sink in the main bathroom made it hard to access the sink in an already small room. We also would have appreciated more storage in the double bedroom as it was very limited.
Despite this, we enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend!!

Had a lovely stay at Porter Cottage. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Short ten minute walk into Alnwick town centre with good choice of bars and restaurants, many of which are dog friendly. The castle is only a ten minute walk too. Great communication with host prior to and throughout our stay.Alnwick is a great base to explore the Northumberland coast.

Excellent Accommodation conveniently situated for the Northumberland coast. The cottage itself had everything you could need possibly need and the parking although on street was not a problem. Highly recommend.
