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.

A very enjoyable stay at the Old Reading Room. A lovely house, very comfortable and with everything you need. Great location with village shop and pub a few minutes walk down the road, as well as Alnmouth and it's stunning beach / river setting a walkable distance or short drive away. Pizza from the Red Lion in Alnmouth and the deli are particularly recommended. Coastal villages up to Bamburgh are easily reachable, as well as Alnwick a short drive inland. Would recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Reading Room. The living and kitchen spaces are generous and brilliantly set up for groups, and the bedrooms and bathrooms were all very comfortable. Lesbury village has a lovely community shop and Alnmouth nearby was perfect for trips to the beach and a good pub or deli lunch.

This was our second visit to this house. We like the spacious lounge, kitchen and main bedroom. There is a garden. It is walking distance to the local pub and community shop/cafe. Alnmouth is a short drive or a pleasant walk away. Parking was a little challenging as we had two cars and there was a van parked in the way but it was moved later in our stay. There were no food provisions and only 1 small sachet of shower gel in each bathroom so remember to bring your own.

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!
