Beautiful hotel
Beautiful hotel and room, in a great location to visit Alnwick town and Castle. Leigh and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. We didn’t have our evening meal at hotel (though definitely will do on our next visit!) however the breakfast was delicious with a great variety to choose from.

Lovely, friendly staff, beautifully decorated, delicious breakfast. Comfortable bed. All the lights flickered in our room periodically, but it’s an old building so I guess that adds to the charm!

Lovely hotel and very nice staff. Very conveniently located in the town and for visiting the castle. We gave 4 stars for 2 reasons: 1) although they allow dogs in the rooms, they're not allowed in the breakfast room so they suggested we either left our dog in our room on her own (which we did and she barked continuously) or we breakfast separately - most places have a dog-friendly eating area; and 2) parking is quite a challenge. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

From check in to breakfast we have been made most welcome by the friendly attentive staff. We were upgraded on arrival to the Holy Island room which is one of the nicest rooms we have stayed in. Will definitely look to come back possibly in the summer to enjoy the garden/ patio area.
