  We have just stayed at Upper Oakwood and other than the apartment being beautifully decorated and having great facilities I have nothing good to say.

  We’ve had little to no sleep with the amount of noise from the people walking around upstairs due to their floor boards being ridiculously noisy to the point they sound like they are going to come through the ceiling and the nightlife pounding on until the early hours. People walking past shrieking/fighting on the street behind on the pub crawl route and with the windows being single glazed they might as well have been inside. My five year old has been woken up at least 10+ times each night, including with the floorboard stomping and creaking above. All in all we wouldn’t recommend for any families at all. The apartment would be good for people wanting to go out and party in Alnwick however for anything else it just isn’t a relaxing break. It is however beautiful inside and has a lovely charm to it.

  This is a lovely period property well located in Alnwick, with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

  We were close to all the wonderful restaurants and bars, and really enjoyed our holiday. A lot of thought has gone into making the flat comfortable. It was clean with lovely towels and bed linen, and separate shower room and bathroom, which is handy. Nice and warm too! What I would say is that the flat can be a little noisy. There is another property above with floorboards, and this meant sound travelled early mornings. There is also a degree of street noise at night as town centre location, and during the day, street works started this week for the next few weeks, which meant an early start and a lot of drilling! Thankfully the peaceful Northumberland coast is only a short drive away. On balance a great property for a break in Alnwick.

  We rally enjoyed our stay at Elements was just my cup of tea, items I would have chosen myself.

  The bed was really comfy. The outside space was lovely which we enjoyed on 2 days. We said the outside area would look even better with a hot tub (but that wold make it dearer). There were lots of extras. The pint of milk was very welcome as I always travel with my tea bags ! A lovely box of shortbread was also left. We had a visit to the Tavern while Grandson played on play area which he loved. I would definitely stay again, my Husband says he would like more things, so he wouldn't. We visited Alnwick Castle on the Sat which was fabulous day. Grandparent, parents and a 4 year old thoroughly enjoyed it. Sun we went to Northumberland zoo which was 6 mins away. Although enjoyable 4 year old preferred the Castle. Thank you

  My partner and I stayed Friday–Monday, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  It is in a fantastic location and has natural light throughout. The flat was extremely clean and full of great character. The picture online does not do the living room justice, as it is very spacious. We had an incredible sleep, as the bed is very comfortable. The shower is powerful, and we had no issues with hot water. Additionally, the welcome pack on arrival was a very nice touch. Dirty Bottles and Mumbai are two great restaurants that we would recommend. Please bear in mind that this property is in a central location; therefore, naturally, there is some low-level outdoor noise at times; however, this was not an issue for us. Overall, we had a great stay and are looking forward to booking again.

  Very clean and tidy and king size bed very comfortable.

  Single bed our granddaughter said she could feel the springs or metal base perhaps a board or extre topper wou.d help? We liked the position of the van a d in summer would be surrounded by birds and plants. We left the place spotless thanks to the cleaning resources provided by the owner .visited the little bar area on the last night it was opened this season and had a really unexpected laugh with home owners who were a real bunch of lovely people and even gave us a piece of Norman's birthday surprise cake...the beer flowed well lol. The big bar venue on the other site was really good a d provides food and entertainment at peak times and worth a visit
