Company info

I have lived in Northumbumberland for 22 years and have run Guest Houses for the majority of my time here. In 2023 I moved to Oronsay House it’s a very impressive house with many period features, think high ceilings with ceiling roses, feature fireplaces. It has a very homely feel to it and love being so centrally located with everything to hand. I enjoy meeting people and pride myself on providing the utmost attention to detail for guests comfort during their stay.

We are a similar distance to one of the entrances to Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Gardens and just 200 yards from Barter Books. Alnwick Playhouse 100 yards featuring a variety of film, music, theatre and dance. There are 3 floors to the property, two guest rooms are on the first floor, the third guest room on the second floor and the Single Room is on the top floor.
