Our friends mentioned that the twin beds were a little uncomfortable. It was good to have Wi Fi . Great location - able to walk around the village with access to all cafes and pubs. Good bus services to Alnwick and further afield. Lots more tourist information and leaflets are needed in the lounge for those who aren't familiar with the area. All in all we would definitely return to Decked Out.

It was very clean when we arrived and it had everything we required for our stay. Having a dedicated car parking space was a big bonus, as we are cyclists and it felt safe to store our bikes in the car every night. The property is so central for for the beach and pubs etc. Early morning beach walks revealed beautiful sunrises. For cyclists it's ideally placed as base to start from. Many thanks to the owner.

The location is brilliant, the terrace is a little sun trap and we didnât notice any noise from the pub below. Having a parking space in Alnmouth is also a god send! Thank you for everything and we will most certainly be back!
