Juliet Cottage
​
Juliet Cottage (sleeps 4) is a very sweet cottage in the centre of Alnwick, just up the road from the famous Hotspur Tower.
It backs on to the high town walls of Alnwick and so the little patio at the back of the cottage is totally safe for little ones to potter about in.
We were told that the Juliet Cottage row of cottages was originally built for Italian craftsmen who arrived to work on the ornate designs of the ceilings of Alnwick castle.
The cottage is warm and welcoming, with very thick walls and a lovely living flame gas fire within the splendid original fireplace.
Juliet Cottage has such a lovely friendly feeling to it, and the kitchen has been refurbished in 2020 and the new bed (again 2020) in the double bedroom is a kingsize.The solid beech, good quality bunks in the second bedroom are full size singles beds and so can be used by adults as well as young ones.
Flat screen smart TV with Netflix.
