Although disappointing, we have removed many soft furnishings from the property including large cushions , throws and ornaments for the highest hygiene standards. To ensure the highest clean possible, we will use a disinfectant spray on all soft furnishings that can't be laundered each time, eg settee, carpets, blinds, chairs, carpets. As we move out of the pandemic, we will continue to offer a deep clean and cushions / throws etc will be reintroduced

Beautiful holiday house, nicely decorated. Cute village with quite some options for dinner and tea.
Village shop/post office is nice for the basic groceries. really liked the delicatessen shop down the street. Beach at 5 minute walk. Also parking was easy

The property is in the heart of this lovely village with easy access to all local amenities, including the excellent children’s play park, village store, beach and estuary. Despite its central location, it is secluded and quiet, with plenty of room to relax outside if the weather allows. The accommodation is small, but perfectly formed to a high standard and is kitted out with all the equipment and utensils you are likely to need. The host responded quickly to all communications and bent over backwards to be helpful. Highly recommended all round.

The property was perfect, the rooms were spotless and presented in a very professional way. The kitchen was a great size with a breakfast bar for dining and the toilet/shower room was of a very high standard. The location was great and access to the town and beach was less than a couple of minutes walk, there is a parking space within the confines of the property and ample outdoor dining space if needed. We would absolutely recommend this to a couple or small family, Helen the host was so helpful and was always happy to answer any queries.

A Lovely little cottage with all the tech you need in great location and our own gardener (Ted). We had a great time in a great little town. Only teeny issue was that Master bedroom is up very steep stairs so we snuggled up in the other bedroom: otherwise can’t fault a thing. Helen was really easy to contact and enable access.

My husband, my 8 year-old daughter and I just had a week's stay at Fossil Bank. The cottage is really well equipped, beautifully decorated and super cosy. We loved the garden and secure parking, and the location on the high street but so close to the beach was brilliant. We had a slight hiccup on checking in, but it was sorted asap by Helen, who was an excellent host. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here. Thanks Helen!

Fossil Bank is a delightful cottage in a very pretty village. Beautifully furnished, really well equipped, and our granddaughter was absolutely thrilled with the treats for us on our arrival. Giant Toblerone and fun sized treats, child heaven. The adults were quite delighted too! We would happily have a return visit to Fossil Bank, a great location for exploring the area. Lots to keep children and adults busy, great places to eat in the village. Enjoyed our visits to Alnwick, Warkworth Castle and village, Amble. Would recommend the village treasure hunt bought from the Post Office across the road, great way to explore the village. Our granddaughter loved it!

Gorgeous property, fabulous location and charming extra touches! Can’t give enough compliments for our stay … it was perfect in every way. My kids (8 and 11) absolutely loved the house and private outdoor space … it made for the most relaxing holiday we’ve ever had!

Fossil Bank is a wonderful property, right on the high street, but completely private, minutes from the beautiful beach. My friends and I had a wonderful time, we loved all the special touches that Helen had put in place and from a practical perspective it had everything we needed (the parking spaces were very welcome). Alnmouth is a great location, we easily managed trips to so many amazing places such as Craster, Cragside, Alnwick castle and gardens, Bamburgh Castle to name just a few. Definitely recommend.
10.0 / 10.0
Our stay at Fossil Bank was definitely helped by the beautiful weather, so we could fully enjoy the beach and surrounding area. The courtyard area was fantastic to sit out in at all times of the day and has a very Mediterranean feel. The cottage is beautiful, with lots of little extras - little luxurious touches but also lots of practical extras too. The local shops were friendly and well stocked; our daughter sampled a few different flavour ice creams from the nearby shop.
We had a wonderful week at Fossil Bank and would love to return. Helen is incredibly helpful and friendly in her emails, which makes a big difference too. Thank you xxx

Superbly located and equipped property. Contact from Helen before and during stay was excellent. Highly recommend. Only challenge is the stairs to the main bedroom using ladder type stairs - but we slept downstairs so all was fantastic. Thanks so much

Amazing place
Really upmarket, hidden away right in the centre of Alnmouth village. Very cozy and on the doorstep of great pubs and restaurants. Spotlessly clean and a very well appointed kitchen. Nice personal touches left by the landlord including Easter eggs for the boys! Would highly recommend.

Location
Love Alnmouth and its never ending beaches. House location wonderful, house small bt very good. Suggest it is not suitable for elderly folk(we are 85 and 84) as the stairs are awkward to negotiate and the slippery shower floor necessitates that there should be a bar to hold on to

Gorgeous hideaway on the main street
We loved everything about this property and will definitely be back. The property is beautifully decorated and furnished and hidden away from the high street in its own private yard so the best of everything.

Fabulous holiday
This cottage was fantastic in every way. The location was so convenient and close to a vast beach. There was every mod con in the cottage which was comfortable and homely and we were blessed with beautiful weather which allowed us to clock up many miles on the fantastic cycle routes round and about Alnmouth. We will return!

Great central Property
We couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay. The property was modern, but characterful, and right in the centre of the lovely village of Alnmouth. Every thing was provided that you could possibly need, and felt like a home from home. Thanks for a great stay.

Stylish little bolt hole in the centre of Alnmouth
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our two children (8 & 11) in this lovely stylish little cottage. The kids loved the raised and enclosed garden, the short walk down the hill to the beach and the lovely park overlooking the harbour all within minutes away. The cottage itself is immaculate, with all the mod cons you’d need. The bathroom is on the ground floor (not a problem for us) but the stairs to the master bedroom are very steep, so wouldn’t be suitable with very young children or those with impaired mobility. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and the post office and shop directly opposite, it couldn’t be in a more central location for all amenities, and the private parking and courtyard is a godsend. All in all in a wonderful stay!

Fabulous property and location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fossil Bank. Whilst the property is compact it has absolutely everything you could possible need and more. Everything is lovely quality and very clean. It is a short walk to the beach, the village shop is opposite and there are bistros and a deli to enjoy. There is a nice out door space, which we can imagine would be great in summer time. Whilst we never met Helen, she was extremely helpful and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for people to stay here.

Lovely getaway on the North Sea coast
We very much enjoyed our stay in Alnmouth. Communication in advance from Helen was excellent so there were no surprises when we arrived and we were able to park straight outside. The house is well-equiped and to a high standard, so if you want to eat in, there is a good range of equipment for cooking. Location is excellent, across the road from the shop if anything is needed (range from veg to local beers) and 100m from the sea. Ideal for walking along the coast and we made it to both Dunstanburgh and Warkworth castles on foot. If you're looking for a relaxing break in Northumberland, this is a great house in an ideal spot.

Fabulous cottage in lovely village
Family of four (kids of 10 & 6) enjoyed a relaxing break at Fossil Bank, located in the middle of Alnmouth. The cottage has everything you may require. Spacious, modern and clean - we would have loved to have stayed longer. The staircase to the master bedroom may prove difficult to people with limited mobility but the ground floor is more than spacious enough to suit up to four people. The garden area was spacious and secure, allowing the kids to play without concern. It was also nice to sit out in the evening and toast marshmallows at the outside fireplace. The cottage is ideally positioned next to the Red Lion Inn which offered good food and drink, there was Scotts down the street which was lovely for breakfast and the local Post Office / Convenience store was opposite for all your essentials without having to drive to Alnwick. The beach is a short walk down the hill, golf courses are a stones throw away and cycle route that runs parallel with the main road to Warkworth. Easy access to Alnwick for its attractions.
We have been to Northumberland on a number of occasions and will look to book Fossil Bank when we return in the future.

Smashing RnR
Everything perfect. Great owner contact. Great location - super pub next door (no noise issues, though), excellent restaurants yards away and beach @ 70 yards - what a beach! First timers in the region and will be back. Super waterside villages spread up the coast, scenic walks all around. Visited Cragside last day which is the best National Trust property we’ve ever been to. Endless beaches. Flora, fauna, seabirds a plenty (but no seagull hassle in Alnmouth). The whole county is spotless. Just go and stay. A perfect base for a Northumberland adventure.
