Ravenslaw House in South Road, Alnwick, NE66 2NZ | Must-See Northumberland Hot Tub Cottage

About Ravenslaw House

Ravenslaw House is a magnificent 5-star country mansion in Alnwick, Northumberland. Built in 1892 as William Hardy's home, this Scottish-style manor offers nine luxurious en-suite bedrooms that sleep up to 18 guests. The property combines historical elegance with modern comforts - think antique furnishings with Netflix access. Like having your cake and eating it off a 19th-century silver platter.

Located just minutes from Alnwick town centre, you're perfectly positioned to explore Northumberland's treasures. Walk to Europe's largest second-hand bookstore or drive to stunning Alnmouth beach. After exploring Alnwick Castle (yes, the Harry Potter one), return to your private grounds where dogs can run free in the enclosed garden. The coast is just 5 miles away - close enough for a quick skinny dip if you're feeling brave.

Each bedroom features a TV and seating area, with six boasting four-poster beds for those "royal treatment" moments. All nine bedrooms have private en-suites - some with rolltop baths, period features and separate showers. Ground floor bedrooms provide accessibility, while upstairs rooms offer manor-style luxury. The massive dining table seats all 18 guests - perfect for feasts or drinking games that end with someone dancing on it.

Visit Alnwick Castle (10-minute walk), explore the famous Alnwick Gardens (10-minute walk), browse the independent shops and market (5-minute walk), or discover Warkworth Castle (15-minute drive). Amble's fishing port (20-minute drive) offers fresh seafood restaurants worth the journey.

Ravenslaw House delivers everything for an unforgettable group getaway. Relax in the seven-person hot tub or four-person sauna after a day of exploring. The grand piano in the dining room awaits your best (or worst) rendition of Chopsticks. With spacious living areas and a well-equipped kitchen, this house handles large groups with ease.

Ravenslaw House is perfect for big groups. The kitchen has everything you needand all the bedrooms are ensuite and super comfy. The dining room is massive and comfortably fit our 17-strong crew. The location's spot on - just a short walk into Alnwickâ€™s centre and close to supermarkets. Parking was plentifuland we made good use of the hot tub and sauna. Overall, a cracking place for a getaway!

We had an awesome weekend with our family, a group of 15 spanning from 10 to 78. The house was super well-equipped, perfect for cooking and chilling. The bedrooms are massive with en-suites, which was a real bonus. The hot tub and sauna added a bit of luxury. Itâ€™s only a 10-minute walk into townand Katie left a lovely welcome pack. She was easy to reach if needed, though we didnâ€™t have any issues. Definitely a great spot for big groups. Cheers!

Really enjoyed it, definitely worth a visit!

We had a fantastic time at Ravenslaw House! From the moment we booked, Katie was super helpful and always available when we had questions, especially about cots and high chairs. The house itself was spotless and really well stocked for our group of 18 - we wanted for nothing. The welcome pack was genuinely the best weâ€™ve received, really thoughtful. The location is perfect, within walking distance to Alnwick town and just a short drive to three lovely beaches, which our dogs loved. Truly a fabulous holiday!
