Host & Stay - The Burrow

Property was super close to centre of town providing great access to all the bars/pubs and restaurants. At the same time its positioning down a private alley meant it was still very quiet and secure. The open plan layout for the living/kitchen/dining area was ideal for cooking of a morning and relaxing of an evening as a family. Property was very well equipped and felt like a home away from home with great views of the castle.

Bunk beds in small bedroom didn't feel super secure so could maybe do with replacing/tightening. Some areas of property looked like they needed some additional dusting but over all pretty clean and tidy.

Great location in Central Alnwick, plenty of space and comfy beds

A little damp in places

The facilities were great and the location was excellent. Glad you mentioned the radiator making a bang when cooling down! Want to mention the Strawberry Lounge a few doors up on Narrowgate...if you like cake, it shouldn't be missed,!

The main light flickering in the double bedroom, suspect the bulb is about to die. Couldn't find a spare.

Good location. Great potential to become a lovely place to stay.

Double spiral staircase. One from ground floor up to bedrooms. And another up to kitchen and living area. Due to having small dog, found to be a bit of a nightmare. Very slippery for him. Tried to block off. Not dog friendly!!!!!!! Especially if you have a small pouch. Tired kitchen. Broken drain pipe above bedrooms. Very noisy, due to heavy rain falling on porch area. Seal in shower needs replacing. Rather mouldy. Off putting, sorry.

I really liked the locations. It was right in the middle and just about a 5 min walk from the shops. Could carry heavy food and drink home no problem. The fire and the living room were fantastic. It held heat decently well. The kitchen was really nicely laid out and fit very well with the whole aesthetic and design. Some might find the 3 floors odd but I think it's very cool and my partner also thought so. We hope to stay here again it was a really really great stay. When the guttering broke off and fell during the storm that happened. I let the people know and they offered to send out people to fix it that day. We didn't think it was that much of an issue but good to see they were ready to get a quick response out. The room sizes were great. I didn't feel cramped or closed in, they all felt open and a great size. The TV was a decent size, I had to wear my glasses to see any text due to the distance and size of the TV but no complaints.

There were a few problems that didn't look or do so great. The bed for my tastes was very very soft. That might be some people I get that but not mine. I had a bad back every night and couldn't sleep very well. The noise from the bars were a little annoying but that's to be expected from being near them so it's not too much of an issue. It was only an issue if you wanted to sleep before 10pm. The cleanliness of the carpet and walls were not great, this could have been stains from past guests making it unclean able, but the fan in the bathroom has mould in it, not very nice. Unseen by most I'd assume but I noticed. The bathroom shower door doesn't exist, making all the water from the shower just spill onto the floor. Not a great design. The sofas were ok. But they lacked depth the feel of them was great but the lack of depth made it a little hard to get comfortable. The only comfortable place was the far right side of them.
