Our time at The Bank
A Lovely little cottage with all the tech you need in great location and our own gardener (Ted). We had a great time in a great little town. Only teeny issue was that Master bedroom is up very steep stairs so we snuggled up in the other bedroom: otherwise can’t fault a thing. Helen was really easy to contact and enable access.

Cosy little hideaway
My husband, my 8 year-old daughter and I just had a week's stay at Fossil Bank. The cottage is really well equipped, beautifully decorated and super cosy. We loved the garden and secure parking, and the location on the high street but so close to the beach was brilliant. We had a slight hiccup on checking in, but it was sorted asap by Helen, who was an excellent host. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here. Thanks Helen!

Beautiful property
Fossil Bank is a delightful cottage in a very pretty village. Beautifully furnished, really well equipped, and our granddaughter was absolutely thrilled with the treats for us on our arrival. Giant Toblerone and fun sized treats, child heaven. The adults were quite delighted too! We would happily have a return visit to Fossil Bank, a great location for exploring the area. Lots to keep children and adults busy, great places to eat in the village. Enjoyed our visits to Alnwick, Warkworth Castle and village, Amble. Would recommend the village treasure hunt bought from the Post Office across the road, great way to explore the village. Our granddaughter loved it!

Fossil Bank is a wonderful property, right on the high street, but completely private, minutes from the beautiful beach. My friends and I had a wonderful time, we loved all the special touches that Helen had put in place and from a practical perspective it had everything we needed (the parking spaces were very welcome). Alnmouth is a great location, we easily managed trips to so many amazing places such as Craster, Cragside, Alnwick castle and gardens, Bamburgh Castle to name just a few. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic week
Our stay at Fossil Bank was definitely helped by the beautiful weather, so we could fully enjoy the beach and surrounding area. The courtyard area was fantastic to sit out in at all times of the day and has a very Mediterranean feel. The cottage is beautiful, with lots of little extras - little luxurious touches but also lots of practical extras too. The local shops were friendly and well stocked; our daughter sampled a few different flavour ice creams from the nearby shop. We had a wonderful week at Fossil Bank and would love to return. Helen is incredibly helpful and friendly in her emails, which makes a big difference too. Thank you xxx

Location
Love Alnmouth and its never ending beaches. House location wonderful, house small bt very good. Suggest it is not suitable for elderly folk(we are 85 and 84) as the stairs are awkward to negotiate and the slippery shower floor necessitates that there should be a bar to hold on to

This cottage was fantastic in every way. The location was so convenient and close to a vast beach. There was every mod con in the cottage which was comfortable and homely and we were blessed with beautiful weather which allowed us to clock up many miles on the fantastic cycle routes round and about Alnmouth. We will return!

Stylish little bolt hole in the centre of Alnmouth
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our two children (8 & 11) in this lovely stylish little cottage. The kids loved the raised and enclosed garden, the short walk down the hill to the beach and the lovely park overlooking the harbour all within minutes away. The cottage itself is immaculate, with all the mod cons you’d need. The bathroom is on the ground floor (not a problem for us) but the stairs to the master bedroom are very steep, so wouldn’t be suitable with very young children or those with impaired mobility. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and the post office and shop directly opposite, it couldn’t be in a more central location for all amenities, and the private parking and courtyard is a godsend. All in all in a wonderful stay!

Fabulous property and location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fossil Bank. Whilst the property is compact it has absolutely everything you could possible need and more. Everything is lovely quality and very clean. It is a short walk to the beach, the village shop is opposite and there are bistros and a deli to enjoy. There is a nice out door space, which we can imagine would be great in summer time. Whilst we never met Helen, she was extremely helpful and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for people to stay here.

Lovely getaway on the North Sea coast
We very much enjoyed our stay in Alnmouth. Communication in advance from Helen was excellent so there were no surprises when we arrived and we were able to park straight outside. The house is well-equiped and to a high standard, so if you want to eat in, there is a good range of equipment for cooking. Location is excellent, across the road from the shop if anything is needed (range from veg to local beers) and 100m from the sea. Ideal for walking along the coast and we made it to both Dunstanburgh and Warkworth castles on foot. If you're looking for a relaxing break in Northumberland, this is a great house in an ideal spot.

Everything perfect. Great owner contact. Great location - super pub next door (no noise issues, though), excellent restaurants yards away and beach @ 70 yards - what a beach! First timers in the region and will be back. Super waterside villages spread up the coast, scenic walks all around. Visited Cragside last day which is the best National Trust property we’ve ever been to. Endless beaches. Flora, fauna, seabirds a plenty (but no seagull hassle in Alnmouth). The whole county is spotless. Just go and stay. A perfect base for a Northumberland adventure.

Fabulous cottage in lovely village
Family of four (kids of 10 & 6) enjoyed a relaxing break at Fossil Bank, located in the middle of Alnmouth. The cottage has everything you may require. Spacious, modern and clean - we would have loved to have stayed longer. The staircase to the master bedroom may prove difficult to people with limited mobility but the ground floor is more than spacious enough to suit up to four people. The garden area was spacious and secure, allowing the kids to play without concern. It was also nice to sit out in the evening and toast marshmallows at the outside fireplace. The cottage is ideally positioned next to the Red Lion Inn which offered good food and drink, there was Scotts down the street which was lovely for breakfast and the local Post Office / Convenience store was opposite for all your essentials without having to drive to Alnwick. The beach is a short walk down the hill, golf courses are a stones throw away and cycle route that runs parallel with the main road to Warkworth. Easy access to Alnwick for its attractions. We have been to Northumberland on a number of occasions and will look to book Fossil Bank when we return in the future.

Very high spec and comfortable
A lovely modern cottage in the main on street of Alnmouth, close to the beach with private parking and good eating places a few steps away. Overall we really enjoyed our short stay. The only negatives - (1) the stair to the upper bedroom is really more of a ladder and difficult for even fit older people (like us) or for small children (2) It's quite expensive for the size of the property.

Fabulous retreat in the heart of a lovely village
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful property. It's so well placed in the centre of the village of Alnmouth. The property is so stylish, well equipped & immaculate inside and opens out on to a wonderfully private, peaceful courtyard walled garden. Alnmouth itself has all that you need for either a relaxing break or as a base to explore the fabulous surrounding areas and coast lines. It has excellent pubs & bistros all within walking distance. It also has an excellent small grocery store/post office, tea rooms, gift shop and very short walk to a great beach. We can't recommend Fossil Bank and Alnmouth highly enough & hope to revisit.

Stunning
What a fantastic visit to Fossil Bank, the owners of this stunning property have made every effort to make its visitors feel at home. The decor is beautiful and loaded with mod cons so you are made to feel at home throughout your stay. The outdoor fire makes your al fresco dining experience all the more special and and on nights that you don’t eat in there are some fantastic pubs and restaurants nearby. We visited the beautiful Red Lion that is very handily situated next door, and the Italian restaurant situated in the Hope and Anchor across the road is very good. We would highly recommend Fossil Bank for anyone visiting Northumberland, a truly stunning and cosy retreat that makes your trip truly special.

Perfect, private location right in the heart of Alnmouth, renovated to an extremely high standard with everything you need to hand - from hi-tech connectivity to pots and pans. The owners clearly care about this place and it shows in the presentation and attention to detail. The Red Lion nearby is a truly great pub with stunning food and good beer. Highly recommended charming little bolt-hole - we will return!

High end accommodations with ease of living. Superior furnishings and brilliant parking. So homeley.
It's like an enclosed shangrila. House just perfect for us as a three some. All equipment highest quality and everything worked. Cleanliness 5 star. Easy walk to beaches and great amenities within half a minute. What a find- can't recommend it high enough. Owners allowed us to use all their equipment so nothing locked away. It was like borrowing a friends house for a while. No awful rules anywhere and owners always on hand via e mails if necessary.

Secluded, central, quirky, stylish and superbly equipped.
Alnmouth is a strong little community, making a living from tourists, but not overwhelmed by them. Fossil Bank is very conveniently sited, twenty metres or so from the Red Lion ( a fine traditional English pub with an excellent informal restaurant and splendid service). There is no noise heard from it, such are the surrounding walls of the pleasant and well-tended garden. The dominant sound of the village is the clock chiming the quarters. The natives are very friendly, open and helpful: the shop opposite is one of Aladdin's outlets. We felt welcome as people, and not just for our wallets. The Owners' fear of sand I now understand - the village is surrounded by océans of fine wind-blown sand, which is the last thing you want in a shiny cottage. The house is remarkable: the upstairs bedroom is spacious and bright - the stairs unique, and requiring a bit of self-confidence - and the bathroom is super. Didn't spend much time in the downstairs area, nor use the hi-tech stuff, but it was a joy to have proper cooking utensils on the occasions we did not eat out. Comfy and well-equipped, the only challenge was not sliding off the skewbald bar-stools. Though not an issue for us, we feel that the folding louvred internal doors are too fragile to survive much longer, and require more care in their handling than they are likely to get. As a hide-away in the midst of delightful country, it takes some beating. We aim to return. (p.s. The text correction software on this site is very imaginative...)

Great little property really clean and comfortable everything we needed and more. Just two of us so we used the downstairs bedroom as I found the stairs a little bit steep. Great location, good walks on the doorstep, bus stop and shop across the road, lovely village with great places to eat out. Really enjoyed our week exploring the area.
