The Goods Wagon, private garden and stunning views

The privacy & the view

Nothing

Virtually everything. An amazing location with incredible views, easy access to loads of places, very cosy with a log burner and a very comfortable bed. The wagon is hidden away in like a secret garden, totally secluded. The separate bathroom may have been down the path but it had a really good size shower and heated towel rail and as the weather was good it wasn't an issue at all having to go outside to the loo. Having read some of the previous reviews it was clear that the owner had listened to what people had said and so there is a plug in the sink, a corkscrew, washing up liquid and scourer, salt& pepper and cooking oil. There are sufficient utensils to make an easy meal. The microwave has a range of settings so very good and the instructions were in the first draw under the bed. I think the best thing though was sitting on the decking watching the sunset. We didn't use the outside table and barbecue area but I would imagine in the summer that too would have been a lovely area to enjoy. We were impressed with the owner who came very quickly when we informed him that the main door lock wasn't working. He replaced it whilst we were out during the day. We really loved our 3 night stay. Thankyou.

As already said we loved virtually everything. The only thing I think would be helpful would be some sort of welcome pack, including the instructions leaflet for the microwave and the heater. Also, think the decking probably needs a bit of attention too.

Everything, especially the view and the lovely private garden setting. Separate shower room a plus except during Storm Dave! Will definitely return in summer to make the most of that BBQ and firepit in better weather.. Wonderfully comfy and wide double bed.

Minor niggles: a few tea bags/coffee/milk would be welcoming and deeper pillows would aid side sleepers. It's been a long wet winter, so hopefully the rocking chairs are restored for summer evenings chilling on the deck!

Very nice hut. The bed and chairs are comfortable and the table is a good size which is unusual for this type of accommodation, the view was superb and the location generally is excellent. The kitchen is small, obviously, but well stocked except for a couple of things, see below. The heating worked well and the outside seating area looked good. The bathroom, in a separate hut, is very nice. Being separate, it's spacious and also leaves more space in the main hut than you usually get with shepherds' huts.

Instructions for finding the place - the gate is well hidden in a hedge. Only place I've ever been where washing up stuff wasn't provided - to be fair the owner does say they don't provide anything, so maybe it was my fault not to grasp that that included a j-cloth and some detergent. There was a saucepan with lid, a big saucepan without lid and a small lid with no saucepan. Otherwise cooking facilities were good.

The views

Really unique and quirky accommodation with stunning views in a great location for exploring.

A few more things provided like tea and coffee, a washing up cloth or sponge and basic information/welcome pack.

Great location for a stroll into Alnwick or alnmouth
