Fully equipped. Comfortable. the off road parking is only okay for a very small car. I have about the shortest car you can own and when the back tyres were at the curb, the front of the car still over hung into the lane. It would be impossible to park a large car

It is a modern, clean, well equipped spacious ground floor apartment. It is close to the beaches and to the village centre with its shops, pubs and other amenities. As Alnmouth is a busy and popular holiday village the dedicated car parking space is a huge bonus. It is an ideal base for exploring the village and the Northumberland Coast.
