We loved our holiday at the Riverside Lodge. The lodge was clean, well-furnished and spacious. The lounge is upstairs and there is a large window to watch the changing views across the estuary. The open plan of the lounge, kitchen and dining area made for a very easy and relaxed living space. We used the downstairs bedroom which was made up into a king size bed and had an additional seating area which gave me a quiet place to read whilst upstairs the tennis was on! There is now Wi Fi in the property which was a good strength and meant we could research local facilities on line which lead us to a fantastic local Bistro which we may have over looked. We hired bikes from Alnmouth station using the Bike and Go scheme (you have to register in advance but having done this we presented our card and had 2 bikes for the day for £3.80) We did have a car but didn’t use it much. There is a regular bus service to Alnwick and other places along the coast and you can order taxis so with a bit of organisation you could stay there without a car. We would love to stay again in the future
