A snug studio space in the charming coastal town of Alnmouth.

With its tranquil sandy beach, bounty of local birds and wildlife, and picturesque cluster of pastel-painted houses, Alnmouth is a deservedly popular spot on the Northumberland coast. The Upper Deck is ideally situated to explore this picturesque village on foot, with its winning location on Marine Road placing its pubs and restaurants within a five minute walk.

Accessed by an external stone staircase, this open-plan studio apartment optimises every inch of space and feels light and airy thanks to its lofty pitched roof, punctuated by sky lights, large window and understated décor. It comprises a well-appointed kitchen area with dining table for two, a studio living space and sleeping area with a double bed, and a separate shower room. Like a hotel suite with the bonus of its own kitchen, The Upper Deck further adds a small decking area overlooking Alnmouth Village Golf Course, with the expansive white sand beach beyond it.

Perfect for solo travellers or couples, the compact retreat is the ideal solution for visitors who wish to retain some independence while travelling as part of a larger group, as fellow guests can stay in the adjacent two-bedroom Marine House Cottage sitting just off the main access courtyard.

When not enjoying the sandy beach on your doorstep or picking up artwork created by local artists in the nearby Old School Gallery you can enjoy some of Alnmouth’s popular annual events, such as the summer Arts Festival and October beer festival. Keen golfers will not only have Alnmouth Village Golf Course within putting range but are likely to have Alnmouth Golf Club in their sights - established in 1869, it’s England’s fourth oldest golf club and boasts spectacular views over Foxton Bay to Coquet Island and the North Sea.

Just slightly further afield, the historic town of Alnwick lies five miles inland from Alnmouth, offering a selection of pubs, restaurants, local shops and a regular farmer's market in addition to the majestic Alnwick Castle. Home to the Percy family for over 700 years, the Castle is perhaps best known for its starring role as Hogwarts School in the Harry Potter films while the award-winning Alnwick Garden features the famous Treehouse and Poison Garden, including recently opened Lilidorei.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

For guests looking to holiday together, The Upper Deck can be booked alongside the adjoining Marine House Cottage sleeping 4.

Location

There is plenty on offer to guests at the pretty coastal village of Alnmouth. Essential provisions can be picked up from the village store and post office on the main street, while Scott’s of Alnmouth is a wonderful deli with delicious treats and a fabulous selection of local bread and cheeses. Tasty pub lunches can be found at the popular Red Lion Inn which also provides superb views over the estuary from the raised deck in the beer garden. Further dining options are available at The Whittling House which offers a range of locally sourced and seasonal dishes. Or call in at The Hope and Anchor, where you can enjoy a drink at the bar, or a traditional wood-fired pizza in their restaurant.

For guests who have an interest in the arts, there is The Old School Gallery. The gallery has a wonderful collection of original paintings and limited edition prints, many of which are by local artists.

A variety of independent shops and restaurants, including some fabulous fish restaurants, can be found in the nearby village of Warkworth (4.5 miles) and the harbour town of Amble (6.1 miles). Amble has the added benefit of a Tesco Express store as well as the delightful Harbour Village which consists of 15 small retail pods with a range of fabulous goodies from crafts and jewellery to food and drink.

The historic town of Alnwick is just 4.7 miles west, offering a good selection of pubs, restaurants, local shops and a farmer's market.

If you feel a trip to the coast isn’t complete without enjoying good local seafood, then you’ve come to the right place. The Jolly Fisherman at the pretty nearby village of Craster is renowned for its smoked kippers and The Potted Lobster is a must if you visit Bamburgh. At Low Newton you will find the delightful Ship Inn at Low Newton, famous for its seafood and microbrewery.

The Upper Deck has the added benefit of having a railway station just over 1 mile from the door, giving easy access to the main East Coast rail line. Ideal for guests who would like a day exploring the cities of Edinburgh to the north or Newcastle to the south.

The Little Things We Love

Grabbing a hot drink and cosy blanket to watch the sunrise over the ocean from the decking area.

Don't take our word for it...

We enjoyed our stay in The Upper Deck; it’s a well designed little studio great for couples. The location is really convenient for beach and coastal path walks. There are several pubs and restaurants in the village and a reliable local bus service to nearby towns and villages allowing you to get the bus back after a long walk rather than retracing your steps.

Don't take our word for it...

A great find for accommodation for two in Alnmouth. Very comfortable accommodation, with everything you need in a small space. Comfortable bed and well fitted kitchen. Light and airy with high ceilings, rooflights and a large window giving views over the golf course and out to sea. Will definitely be back.
