Lionsgate View, luxury apartment right opposite Alnwick Castle

Arguably one of the best self-catering holiday cottage properties in Alnwick, Lionsgate View provides the very best in luxurious accommodation and certainly has the wow factor! Situated on the middle (first) 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 and is warmed with full gas central heating throughout.

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 Lionsgate View is up two short internal flights of stairs.

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, complemented by stylish full length curtains and luxurious carpets. The lounge also has indirect lighting. The contemporary Ercol dining table generously sits two with plush luxury velvet chairs. There is a large Smart TV, 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, and there is also a window seat from which to watch the world go by. Luxury crushed velvet curtains frame the window area. There is plenty of storage space here. Luxury bed linen and fluffy white towels are provided.

Bathroom
The bathroom offers a stylish, contemporary space in cool calming grey and co-ordinating mosaics. It features a full-size bath with shower over, 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.
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Alnwick Castle. Features include free WiFi in public areas. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the apartment.

Alnwick castle is just steps away, so a great view out the window. You have created a wonderful “home away from home” for visitors to Alnwick and area. We were greeted with a lovely welcome tray of treats, wine and a personal postcard - nice touches indeed. A new, well equipped kitchen. Great communication leading up to our stay and the information binder that is available in the apartment is very detailed. Thank you for the parking pass - much appreciated. Overall an exceptional place to stay and would highly recommend.

Perfect property
Having stopped in this property several years ago it has undergone a new kitchen and bathroom and modernised its furniture. Adequate crockery and utensils although a super sensitive fire alarm went off with just the toaster. A lovely welcome pack is waiting for you. The position of the property is easy walking into the main town centre and parking available nearby with the permits left available to use. All in all a comfortable stay.
