Lionsgate View, luxury apartment right opposite Alnwick Castle

Arguably one of the best self-catering holiday cottage properties in Alnwick, Lionsgate View provides the very best in luxurious accommodation and certainly has the wow factor! Situated on the middle (first) floor of a Grade 2 listed townhouse, it is away from the hustle and bustle of the town, yet within easy reach of everything Alnwick has to offer.

This romantic, historic apartment is literally metres from Alnwick Castle, with absolutely stunning views from the lounge and bedroom ofthe Barbican, the turrets and the famous statues featured in Harry Potter, and the Philosopher’s Stone where the Quidditch lesson is taking place.

This romantic retreat is perfect for two and ideally placed for exploring the town, the castle and, indeed, the whole of Northumberland. Just a few minutes' walk into the centre of town, everything is on the doorstep, yet because it is not on the main streets, the apartment is very quiet and peaceful.

This one-bedroom luxury apartment, with a spacious lounge / diner and bedroom, is flooded with natural light and is extremely comfortable. Completely and sympathetically refurbished to the highest standard, the apartment combines modern contemporary living with traditional period features and is warmed with full gas central heating throughout.

A travel cot and high chair are available upon request for infants.
