No one to check me in ,waited 1 hour. room was not ready. On return hotel in darkness. lighting inside very poor. room key written not printed, was difficult to read, making room entry difficult. room door opened outward, gave cause for safety concern. slept with light on did not feel comfortable. window could not be closed. no breakfast available. poor tea and coffee facilities in room, no shower gel or shampoo, only hand wash. showerhead loose, couldn't regulate water, and awful smell from pipes.

Friendly & Welcoming!

Ideal stopover within walking distance of Alnwick. Exactly suited our purpose

Cheap and cheerful, friendly staff, good prices for food and drinks,

Overpriced, requires a modernised refurbishment.

Cute little pub, amazing food and friendly staff. Very close to town centre

Everything was fine except breakfast wasn’t available. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It was quiet and peaceful

Very friendly helpful staff Excellent location

Lovely customer service, and an excellent stay, good location for a quick walk into Alnwick.

we liked everything about it from the moment we arrived

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

This hotel is perfectly adequate for a one night stop over but is no where near worth the price we paid for a night

The welcome was warm, food was lovely and the room was very comfortable. Great value for money.

Hotel needs to be cleaned updated staff need to work in a good hotel to get some Ideas on how it works defo need new cleaning staff

very good price for Alnwick and we had a lovely chat with the host. It is part of an inn which makes it even better

The staff there are really friendly and cant do enough for you . The rooms themselves are exactly what you expect from a small hotel and bar, comfortable and have everything that you need for a short stay. The breakfast was lovely as well.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good full breakfast in the morning

Stayed here for our il divo concert trip . Really convenient and friendly
