About this property
Positioned in a peaceful residential area of Alnwick whilst still being just a short distance from the town centre and amenities, this mid-terrace house hosts a stylish interior. Teàrlach House has been designed to provide a wonderful base in this bustling market town, for exploring the delights of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders, perfect for a small family or a group of walkers. Enter in after a ramble and leave your boots in the handy porch before coming into the bright and spacious hallway; head straight for the kitchen and put the kettle on, thinking of how you will make use of this sleek and amply-equipped kitchen with a go-to recipe later on, with a dishwasher, electric oven and hob, and fridge/freezer at your finger tips. Over in the open-plan living and dining room, you can spread out on one of the inviting, soft brown leather sofas and enjoy some Sky TV or Netflix, later on gathering around the dining table for a delightful evening meal within this contemporary interior, surrounded by excellent décor. In summer you can open up the bi-fold doors and let in the summer breeze while the little ones play on the lawn, or sit out on the outdoor furniture with a glass of wine. Upstairs discover the well-presented bedrooms consisting of a double bedroom with a convenient en-suite shower, a king-size bedroom which can be transformed into a twin thanks to the zip/link feature, and a single bedroom with a trundle bed for flexible sleeping arrangements, all hosting plenty of furniture to store your things, and served by the lovely shared bathroom which has a shower over a bath. Find lots to do in Alnwick, with your first being to go to Alnwick Castle dubbed the 'Winsor of the North' and was even used as a filming location for the Harry Potter films as 'Hogwarts' as well as 'Brancaster Castle' in Downton Abbey. The Alnwick Garden is home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, along with an enormous treehouse, and an ornamental garden. Catch a show at Alnwick Playhouse, or browse the huge selection of books in Barter Books, one of the UK's largest second-hand bookshops. Discover Warkworth Castle resting on the River Coquet just before it meets the sea, afterwards heading along the coast southwards to the delightful town of Amble which has its own beautiful beach as well as offering boat trips to see amazing wildlife like puffins and seals. The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which was used for the setting of 'The Heist' season two, provides a long stretch of gorgeous coastline to explore, so make sure to bring your walking boots and your camera for all of the fantastic landscapes to be seen. While you're in the area, take a drive towards the famous Bamburgh Castle, a Grade I listed building with audio tours of the state rooms, showcasing a wealth of history. Drive up to Berwick-upon-Tweed to wander the Elizabethan city walls, or hop over the border into Scotland to the small town of Eyemouth with lots of local history to discover as well as a lovely beach. The local leisure centre is just a short walk away, with plenty of activites available each day, a gym and has two swimming pools to cool off afterwards. Teàrlach House will make for a wonderful home from home in Alnwick with your loved ones.

..if a little tired in parts...by that we that mean the sofa cushions are flat and haven't been washed for some time...Also the dining chair covers needed washing...The oven tray was rusty and unusable as was the wok...they both need replacing...There were absolutely no instrucions inside or out regarding recycling and waste so we ended up bringing ours home and sorting it out which was a bit of a pain...These are just minor criticisms as the good far outweighs the bad in this house...We would definitely stay here again... Alnwick is a lovely town and the castle is spectacular...Another plus was the M&S food store and Turnbulls food store both within walking distance...Northumberland is absolutely beautiful and the people are very friendly...Nice lady next door. One piece of advice do purchase a National Trust membership if wanting to visit castles, stately homes and gardens and/or English Heritage.

Also, we were left a note asking us to put the the recycle bin out which we did but it was the wrong week and we could not find a general rubbish bin. The only bins present were the recycle, garden refuse and glass only. Apart from these issues I would definitely recommend Tearlach House as a great place to stay.
