This property has been refurbished to a high standard and is very clean. It is bigger than expected although if 4 adults were staying then small bathroom would be cosy but not an issue for young children.This property is a good base for the area

Delightful Dougie's Den
Dougie's den is a lovely and most comfortable, well equipped and convenient base from which to explore Alnwick and the surrounding area. The outdoor sitting area to the rear is an afternoon sun trap. The house is less than 10 minutes walk from the pleasant town centre and friendly locals. Our trip was blessed with glorious weather which allowed us to enjoy several beautiful beach and coastal walks as well as a boat trip from Sea Houses to Holy Island followed by seal and sea bird watching around the Farne Islands. Trish is an excellent host - very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. There is lots of useful information in the house and recommendations of places to visit. Northumberland has plenty to offer and we intend to return to Dougie's Den to see more.

Highly recommended
All the reviews are spot on, this place is a great find. It’s been refurbished to a high standard with good quality furnishings. Spotlessly clean. The location is excellent, in a quiet neighbourhood, just a 5-10 minute walk to the centre of Alnwick and parking right outside the door. The perfect base for exploring further afield and attractions such as Alnwick Castle and the Alnwick Garden are within walking distance. This house ranks among the top places we’ve stayed in over 20 years.

Lovely, cosy, warm and traditional Victorian terrace. Alnwick is a lovely town and this house gives you easy access but no problem with parking or noise. I’m tempted to put up a bad review so I can easily return…… but no, it’s lovely, as is the host. Do not hesitate to book.

Perfect home from home
Just returned from a fantastic stay at Dougie's Den, from the moment of booking to checking out, the host, Trish was attentive and friendly. The property is perfectly located with parking outside and supermarkets within walking distance. Dougie's Den is a real home from home with everything you could need for a self catering holiday and very comfy beds. The little private courtyard was a lovely little spot to enjoy an evening drink. We would not hesitate to return again and will be recommending to family and friends. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Perfect base to explore Northumberland
We had a fantastic time at Dougie’s Den. The house was perfect for the 4 of us with plenty of space and amenities. The decor is very tasteful and the garden is a super addition. We really enjoyed being able to walk into Alnwick and were able to reach lots of lovely places within minutes in the car. Communication throughout the booking process was excellent and we really appreciated tips and suggestions to help improve our holiday even more. We would love to visit again!
