    cozy atmosphere
    friendly staff
    great amenities
    disappointing shower

    Had a fun getaway with friends! We explored the local castle and walked through beautiful gardens. The atmosphere here is so welcoming, and the staff are super friendly, making it feel like home. Great amenities for self-catering and cozy spaces to hang out. Just a heads up, parking is convenient, but you might want to double-check on food availability before you arrive.

    The shower in our room was pretty disappointing. it was way too hot. That definitely dampened the experience a bit, especially when you just want a nice, relaxing wash after a day out.

    spacious room
    convenient access

    great access to parks and landmarks for city explorers

    Staying here felt blissful as it was just a quick walk to both the stunning Alnwick Garden, less than 2 km away, and the charming Artworks in Alnwick, only about 1 km from the bed and breakfast, making my city strolls so enjoyable and convenient. the room was spacious and had everything I needed to feel at home as a single traveler.

    outdated furnishings
    inconvenient bathroom

    Staff were friendly and the breakfast was delicious, greatly enhancing the experience. the room felt cramped with outdated furnishings, and the bathroom was inconveniently designed, making it difficult to use comfortably. the location posed challenges late at night, due to limited taxi availability after events.

    An Inviting Stay with Unique Charm

    Our one-night stay was filled with pleasant surprises. The cozy ambiance made for a memorable evening after our day in Craster. The service personnel were attentive, ensuring our dishes came out quickly. I highly recommend arriving a bit earlier to secure a great table.

    lack of children's activities

    We had a wonderful time at the pub. it was lively and energetic. The staff were fantastic with our three grandchildren and cooked us a delicious meal that everyone loved. The location was perfect for exploring Alnwick, making our stay memorable.

    My kids wished for more activities for children.

    strict breakfast cut-off
    limited dinner options

    Wonderful Family Experience with a Cozy Atmosphere

    We had a lovely two-night stay in a family room that felt just like home, with comfortable beds and self-catering amenities. The highlight was definitely the staff's warmth and hospitality. Claire was incredibly helpful during our stay. I wish the breakfast ordering cut-off was more lenient, as it was challenging to meet the 7 PM deadline some evenings.

    clean room
    lovely garden
    check-in confusion

    We had a lovely night in a beautifully decorated room that was super clean and comfy. The garden area was a nice spot to unwind, and we enjoyed some live music in the evening. Only small hiccup was that check-in was a bit confusing because of winter hours, but it didn't ruin our stay. 😊
