Stayed one night prior to visiting Alnwick gardens, chosen primarily for location. Staff very friendly and helpful,we did not have any meals there as we walked into Alnwick. Pleased to have a kettle and coffee available in the room for the morning. As others commented the bathroom plumbing was very noisy, with drainage smells apparent.

The staff were lovely and helpful but we had booked there as there was food available. However when we got there we were told food only on Sundays.

Reception was fine, staff friendly and polite but this property is not good value for money. While clean enough the accommodation is very tired and is right alongside a busy road and the window wouldn't close. The bathroom is very cramped and would not suit the larger person. At the price breakfast really should be included. We've stayed at far nicer accommodation for nearly half the price and with breakfast included. Previous occupants of our room had used the kettle as a teapot and, while not the act itself is not hosts fault, we found stale tea and teabags in the kettle when we came to use it. Also, be aware that if you would like to walk into the town centre or the castle, it's a long uphill climb back to the property. This didn't worry us but wouldn't suit others. The property was a poor choice on my behalf.

A very friendly and welcoming place, perfect base for a short visit to Northumberland. Knowing it is essentially a pub with rooms, we weren't expecting hotel standards. Our room was comfortable, spotlessly clean, perhaps the bathroom needs a revamp but it was perfectly adequate. Breakfast was superb - a very hearty full English which set us up for the day. We ate there both evenings too. Due to Covid19 there was a limited menu but the food was good - very generous portions! Susan and team were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

We only stayed one night and didn’t eat there but it was a comfortable stay, rooms were clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms face directly on road, but there wasn’t a great deal of traffic so we weren’t disturbed. It’s a bit of an uphill walk out of town (if you’re not driving) but quite manageable.

Delicious evening meal and breakfast, nice friendly staff, little bit further from the centre of Alnwick than we are used to and the drinks were a little bit pricey. Would definitely stay here again, welcoming little boozer with nice clientele
