Two large bedroom one with extra bed and plenty of drawers and wardrobe space for all holiday clothes. Large living room and well appointed kitchen complete a very attractive spec. We will certainly consider revisiting in the future.

The house is spacious and comfortable. The Christmas decorations were a lovely touch. It is in a very convenient location for accessing everything in Alnmouth on foot, from the beach, to the restaurants, and country walks, which is great. Unfortunately, the exceptionally windy weather across much of the week marred our stay: NOTE - this is NOT the fault of the owner, who goes the extra mile to ensure that guests have a fabulous stay. This is in relation to the ongoing building work near the house, which has been mentioned in other reviews as having no impact, but for us, this was not the case. Maybe it was because it was winter and the actual phase of the work itself?? The dedicated parking space is great, and most likely usually hassle-free. For us, it wasn't: the very strong winds meant that debris and materials from the building work were blowing about, and sometimes had to be removed from on and around the car. There were a few occasions when the work vans parked in our space and were requested to move for us. This might seem trivial, but given the limited public parking in Alnmouth, the dedicated parking space is brilliant. On other occasions the entrance to the parking space was completely blocked. The guys were very polite when asked to move their vans or let us through, but we felt a bit like an inconvenience to them. We were amazed they were even doing building work during some of the weather! We realise some of this irritation is unavoidable during building work, but given the compact area being built on, it does have an impact. Having said this, we would recommend Malcolm Miller House and would definitely return, though we would check first that the building work had been completed.
