Good to Know

Westlea is a guest house on Riverside Road with eight rooms, some with balconies or terraces looking out over the River Aln. There's a residents' lounge, a garden and sun terrace, and free parking, which is a real bonus in Alnmouth.

Why it's on our list: it's consistently rated around 9 out of 10 by guests, with praise for the river views, the comfortable rooms and the breakfast spread. The village golf course and the beach are a few minutes' walk away.

Worth knowing: pets aren't allowed, so this is one for when Meg's staying with friends. It's a short walk from the estuary.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
