About this property

Benefit from two designated parking spaces to the rear of the apartment, before entering through the grand, arched door, reaching the spacious hallway.

The nursery upstairs is a bit noisy during the day, but you can tune it out and we werenât in much anyway! Very convenient location for visiting the wider area, near to the A1 but also just a short walk into the town. Would definitely recommend as a base for a stay in Northumberland, we had a very enjoyable week.

The place has a lot of character, is spacious and well equipped. It was immaculately clean. Communication with the host was excellent and we felt well looked after. During the day we could hear some noises coming from the nursery, but we soon adjusted to it and it didn't disturb us. We would definitely recommend this rental and hope to return to explore more of the beautiful area.

The property had everything we needed and is a brief walk from Morpeth high-street. We had a comfortable and relaxing stay and would definitely book again. There is a childrenâs nursery in the same building, above where you are staying, but to be honest it wasnât a problem. You could hear the occasional patter of feet, but we were off out during the day anyway, so it didnât impact our stay.
