The Sewing Room is a Grade II listed former carriage shed turned holiday cottage in the heart of Alnmouth on the Northumberland Coast. Located just steps from Alnmouth Beach, which Time Out ranked as the 8th best beach in the UK earlier this year, the property offers an open-plan living area through its old carriage doors and two bedrooms upstairs, accommodating up to four guests plus a dog.
Accommodation and Amenities
The cottage features a colourful courtyard garden with outdoor furniture, and its next available booking is for seven nights in October at a price from £1,249. The property has earned glowing reviews from guests who describe it as 'beautifully decorated' and 'relaxing'. Alnmouth itself offers pubs, cafes, restaurants, one of England's oldest golf clubs, and the smallest museum in Northumberland. It has been featured in Robson Green's Weekend Escapes and ITV drama Vera, and is dubbed 'one of the region's best kept hidden gems' by Visit Northumberland.
Guest Reviews
One guest commented: "Our first time in Northumberland and made even more enjoyable by the standard of the accommodation. The local amenities are also excellent. As for the beaches, one word: spectacular." Another said: "We had a relaxing time in The Sewing Room. The property was immaculate and had everything we needed, including a fantastic welcome pack full of goodies. We loved sitting in the courtyard having our breakfast in the morning and feeding the little birds. Would definitely book again in the future." A third added: "A fantastic week in Alnmouth at the beautiful Sewing Room - great location only a minute from the beach, and very comfortable for three of us with a dog. Lovely welcome hamper too full of gorgeous local produce. Would highly recommend." Another guest wrote: "We had a lovely stay at The Sewing Room. The cottage is beautifully decorated with lots of home comforts and super cosy beds. The location is fab. A two-minute stroll to the beach and in the centre of Alnmouth village for the pubs and shops."
