Castle Retreat, luxury 1-bed apartment right opposite Alnwick Castle
Arguably one of the best self-catering holiday cottage properties in Alnwick, Castle Retreat provides the very best in luxurious accommodation and certainly has the wow factor! Situated on the top (second) floor of a Grade 2 listed townhouse, it is away from the hustle and bustle of the town, yet within easy reach of everything Alnwick has to offer.
This romantic, historic apartment is literally metres from Alnwick Castle, with absolutely stunning views from the lounge and bedroom of the Barbican, the turrets and the famous statues featured in Harry Potter, and the Philosopher’s Stone where the Quidditch lesson is taking place.
This romantic retreat is perfect for two and ideally placed for exploring the town, the castle and, indeed, the whole of Northumberland. Just a few minutes' walk into the centre of town, everything is on the doorstep, yet because it is not on the main streets, the apartment is very quiet and peaceful.
This one-bedroom luxury apartment, with a spacious lounge / diner and bedroom, is flooded with natural light and is extremely comfortable. Completely and sympathetically refurbished to the highest standard, the apartment combines modern contemporary living with traditional period features. Warmed with full gas central heating throughout, there is also a tasteful electric wood-burning-effect stove in the lounge for ambience.
A travel cot and high chair are available upon request for infants.
Entrance The entrance to the apartment is initially through the front door of the building up four steep steps from the street. The front door to Castle Retreat is up two short internal flights of stairs. The apartment door then leads to a full flight of wide stairs leading to the central hallway / landing of the apartment.
Lounge / Dining Room The spacious lounge and dining area boasts an original style window and built-in window seat as the walls are so thick. The lounge has a deep comfortable sofa and a luxury velvet armchair, complemented by stylish full length curtains and luxurious carpets. The lounge also has indirect lighting and has retained the original wooden beams. A wood-burning effect electric stove is provided on a slate hearth for extra ambience. The contemporary glass dining table generously sits two with plush luxury velvet chairs. There is a large wall-mounted Smart TV and Blu-Ray player, as well as a selection of books and board games. Wi-Fi with free superfast broadband is provided throughout the apartment.
Kitchen The fully refurbished contemporary kitchen makes excellent and clever use of space. The worktops are solid quartz with under bench and plinth lighting, dishwasher, washer / dryer, induction hob, electric oven, integrated microwave, fridge, Tassimo coffee maker (with an initial supply of pods), toaster and digital radio with Bluetooth docking.
Bedroom This beautifully decorated room has a king-size bed. The room boasts stunning views of the castle's barbican, which can be seen from the bed, and there is also a window seat from which to watch the world go by. Luxury crushed velvet curtains frame the window area. A large wall-mounted Smart TV can be viewed from the bed. There is plenty of storage space here, as well as a dressing table and stool. Luxury bed linen and fluffy white towels are provided.
Shower Room The shower room offers a stylish, contemporary space in cool calming grey and co-ordinating mosaics. It features a large walk-in frameless glass shower, wash basin with waterfall tap and wc, a stylish illuminated mirror and a heated towel rail. Luxury complimentary toiletries are also provided.
Outdoors Although the apartment does not have any private outdoor space, there is a public bench just outside with wonderful castle views. Parking is on-street, and the owner provides a residents' parking permit for use during your stay.
We offer full-week stays starting Monday or Friday, 3-night weekend breaks starting on Friday, and 4-night midweek breaks starting on Monday. For more details, seasonal and short break prices, up-to-date availability and special offers search for "leaholmecottages".
Please note that, as they are in the same building, Castle Retreat, Lionsgate View and Barbican View can be booked together for couples holidaying together or for extended families who require extra space.

Highly Recommend. Great apartment.
This is a great apartment. It was super clean, well furnished, the bed was comfortable and it had everything we needed (and more). The apartment has lots of light, as well as lovely room darkening curtains. The rooms are spacious. The parking is very convenient. The washing machine was useful, as we were there for a week. It is conveniently located in Alnwick. We walked to the grocery store and to restaurants and shops. There is a fantastic Guest Book that Lynn has put together with lots of great information. There are also a ton of tourist brochures for area sights. It was all very helpful. I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Lynn, for a wonderful visit.

A wonderful mid-Covid break
We loved Castle Retreat for a wonderful few days discovering Northumberland. Very well situated within Alnwick and for both coast and inland, it is clean, smart, well appointed and generally comfortable.
The communication is excellent and the welcome very warm (lovely and generous welcome tray; comprehensive manual with lots of local info; countless books and maps; and a book of suggestions from previous visitors).
Very highly recommended. Thanks Lynn.

Amazing apartment !
Amazing apartment opposite Alnwick Castle and lovely views over the rooftops of Alnwick. It has everything you could possibly need for your comfort..like home from home. It is tastefully furnished, has a well equipped kitchen and the yummy Welcome Tray was so nice. It is easy dealing with Lynn, the owner, she always gets back to you straight away and answers any queries you may have. Thoroughly recommend.

A lovely flat in a period house
Fabulous welcome pack.
The flat was spotless and very nicely decorated. It was comfortable and well equipped although a potato peeler might be a useful addition.
It is well situated for all the amenities in Alnwick and surrounding area and the parking is very convenient. There is loads of information available for the guests.
As we live rurally, the street noise was noticeable to us but we quickly got used to it and the flat is in a town so this is to be expected.
I would and have already recommended this property to others.

We would highly recommended Castle Retreat!
An ideal property for exploring the surrounding area & perfect location for Alnwick. The view of the castle is wonderful from the lounge and bedroom. The property itself is to an extremely high standard, with all our needs thought of, including a much appreciated welcome package. The parking permit is very useful, even though Alnwick was busy we had no problem parking near the apartment.
