Great house in a beautiful location. Minutes from the beach and village with a lovely grocers, gift shop and places to eat. Lots to do in nearby areas too. Would recommend!
A spacious house with furnishings etc ideal for a family holiday - ie good and clean but not so as we had to be ‘precious’ about everything!
Location was ideal. The children loved being able to be on the beach so quickly
Great accommodation and property facilities. Everything we needed.
Great location plus 3 car parking badges for the 3 cars.
Super beach close by only minutes away. We hope to be back again in 2025!
Lovely house. Loads of room with good sized bedrooms. Very well equipped kitchen. Annoying step by the cooker. Easy parking in October. Very close to the beach and pubs restaurants and shops. Will be returning
A fantastic property! Spotlessly clean and very well equipped kitchen.
Alnmouth is a superb location with great pubs, tea rooms and a lovely beach all within minutes’ walk.

Alnmouth Stay
The property was in a lovely location and a great size for our family,5 adults and 4 teenagers.
We had problems with hot water from day 1 to day 4.There was no hot water on the top floor and it was intermittent in the other 2 bathrooms. The plumber that came,said he had altered something in the boiler but there was still no hot water on the top floor.One of the beds collapsed on day 4 and the handyman that came to repair it checked an upstairs boiler that the plumber had never looked at... he obviously didn't know it was there !! We finally had hot water in all the 3 bathrooms for the last few days....
Lindores is a beautiful house and provided everything we needed for our family holiday. The level of communication and assistance both before and during our stay was impeccable. We all had a wonderful time, and hope to be able to return again in future.
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Alnmouth and surrounding areas. House was an excellent, spacious and comfortable base for the whole family and partners.
We wanted a family holiday with ages ranging from 8 to 75.
We felt that the description of the property undersold the size and facilities of the accommodation. We appreciated the large sitting room, and the large dining room for family meals The very well equipped kitchen made catering easy. Large fluffy towels were great and showers were always hot and the water pressure high.
Double bedrooms varied a lot in size but all 4 children were delighted to have the top floor and their own bathroom.
We used the house as a walking and exploring base with the beaches and sea being both a huge playground and a barbecue venue.
Overall a great house in a great location that our family enjoyed.
A few niggles water cold after use by others in shower or bath. Not enough power in the cooker.Place mats shabby and in need of replacement . Outdoor yard not big enough. More cushions needed for out door furniture and lounge sofas tired and not suitable for some of our party. Disappointed with the welcoming gift left as we had 8 adults staying not 2 as the glasses left suggested
This was an excellent property, ideally placed for the beach and the village where everything is pet friendly, we have had a great weekend made all the better by the comfort of the house
A lovely stay in large house, not far from beautiful beach with great surrounding countryside.
As it was winter when we stayed, the house was freezing on arrival, but did heat up by the next day. Maybe heating could be on prior to arrival?
The holiday was booked for 6 adults, 3 youngsters between 4 and 9 and 1 infant, oh and 2 dogs.
The house is a large 3 storey terraced building on a quiet street with views of the estuary. The living room with its 3 large sofas and large tv very comfortable and this leads into a large dinning room which was easily large enough for us all.
The kitchen was smaller than expected and during our stay, even though we made agents aware, we only had 1 oven working.
The rest of the house worked well with large bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
On our arrival late on Friday evening, there was no hot water, and after a couple of phone calls an engineer was sent over Saturday morning to rectify.
The on street parking was fine, just ensure you keep the parking permits in the cars over night!
Alnmouth town is real gem, with some good independent shops, pubs and restaurants. The beach is long and even though there is car park, very quiet. If you play golf, bring your clubs and play the 2nd oldest course in England.
There are lots of things to do in the area, with some great castles, i.e, Alnwick with its links with Harry Potter, beaches and other fishing villages to visit.
Overall a great holiday, and good value.

Good location for children
The property is adequate rather than ‘luxury’. Good location for access to the beach. Some arrangements unnecessarily complicated by differences in information from VRBO and proprietor., e.g. VRBO states arrival details will be posted to my account in VRBO website so I repeatedly looked for them there, while proprietor sent them directly with a notification that I didn’t see on my receipt for final payment - it was easy to overlook, particularly when previously prompted to look elsewhere. Because the arrival details were sent with a commercial email address they got lost with 3000 other emails in the gmail ‘promotions’ folder. In addition, one set of instructions gave a check-out time of 9.30 while another stated 10.00. In either case, this is too early, especially given that subsequent guests cannot enter until 5.00. In most other cottages I have stayed in, departure time is 11.00 which is much more acceptable. Other than minor frustrations like this, the stay was satisfactory overall.
Superb holiday set in the most idyllic location.. perfect for a seaside holiday with children .. house is very comfortable and well equipped.. the only draw back would be the parking as inevitability we had more than 2 cars using the permits .. that aside we would definitely come back!
This turned out better than we expected. This is a good sized house that caters well for groups up to 10. Just a couple of virtually traffic free minutes to the beach and street parking that never let us down, though not necessarily close to the house. The house was well stocked with cutlery and crockery and the whole experience was a very comfortable and satisfactory experience. Next year could be Alnmouth too.
Nice property in a great location, good size for our group (10) The only problem was with "hot water" this was mentioned in the visitors book by a previous occupant. There are three bathrooms in the property but only one had hot water to the bath and the bathroom on the top floor had no hot water in any tap. The only hot water in the on suit was through the shower. At nearly £400 a night you expect hot water out of every tap.. Shame, it is a lovely place to stay though.

About the host
Hosted by Denise Hasemore
We are a family of 4 from London, who have fallen for the beaches, castles and peace of Northumberland over the last 10 years.
In our many trips to the area we noticed a shortage of luxury houses that could comfortably accommodate two families or more. We were so excited to come across Lindores in the magical town of Alnmouth. The proximity of the beach, the quality of the restaurants and the convenience of the railway station made it the perfect place for us to stop our search for a Northumberland home.
Lindores has been lovingly restored with a local company. It is beautifully thought out and designed with families in mind.
Since we bought Lindores we have been utterly delighted by the warm feedback from guests. Please help us to make it even better by sharing your opinion.
Why they chose this property
To be right next to the seaside in a magical part of the world. The 'Salcombe of the North' as Alnmouth should be known. Set back in time with a relaxed and informal community, its the safest place in the world for children to run free.
The people are so friendly and the place is alive with history and good old fashioned things to do - put away your technology for a while and enjoy the fun activities of yesteryear. (Or not since we have superfast broadband, Wifi and a PS4 with games all available).
The village is quiet and peaceful yet has so much going on too.
What makes this property unique
Lindores House offers you comfort in absolute style - 4 Star rated by Visit Britain, we're the only house of its size in Alnmouth with this accolade giving you peace of mind that you have chosen the best.
With 3 bathrooms plus 1 WC, 5 bedrooms and lots of internal space you can all be indoors easily if the weather is an 'inside day'!
It's a 2 min walk to the beach or park from the front door and then you can walk for miles on the unspoilt beaches or indulge in a spot of beach cricket.
The house is exceptionally well equipped for children and adults. There is a Play station 4 with games, Broadband internet. You have a BBQ and fantastic seating area at the rear of the property for al fresco dining.
All in all we make sure that our guests are happy and have a superb holiday.
