    There wasn't a full length mirror in the room which would have been nice as we stayed there for a wedding, but couldn't see ourselves very well. Better lighting, it was really dark in the room.

    The food from the lunch menu was lovely, I had pesto chicken on sourdough. Size of the shower space, and the fact it was a walk in shower. Two ladies that worked there was absolutely excellent, the lady on arrival and then the lady who checked us out; she was absolutely brilliant, looked after us at breakfast and had a laugh with her.

    Noisy bathroom fans remaining on for up to 20 mins after lights turned off. Even could hear neighbouring rooms fans.

    Great room. Big shower, Good choice of breakfast. Staff very attentive and prioritised getting an evening meal for the residential guests over the day/ evening visitors.

    The bed was a little hard, but that's a matter of taste. Next time will request a ground floor room as stairs to room are a little steep for my arthritis.

    Breakfast was superb. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Even got a sausage for the dog for breakfast.

    Visit to Alnwick Castle and Gardens
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Quadruple Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    It was on a busy road, we had to have the windows open in the room for some air, there was a lot of road traffic outside during the night. The lighting in the room could be better for reading as it was a bit dim. It was quite an expensive stay for two nights for two adults and a 15 year old teenager, but there are limited accommodation options in Alnwick and we went for the best option that we could find.

    Good location, about 15 mins walk from Alnwick castle and gardens, good food in the restaurant, very popular and busy with locals which is a good sign of good food. Comfortable beds and room and facilities in the room tea / coffee and biscuits. Good variety of options for breakfast and for dinner. Its also on a bus route, which is good if you are coming by train to Alnmouth and are getting the connecting bus to Alnwick from the station or from Newcastle.

    It was ideal. I liked the fact that it was a pub as well. So I had my evening meal there. And the breakfast was excellent. Although on main road my room was quiet.

    Lovely room, friendly staff couldn’t fault it. We left early for our journey home so missed breakfast ☹️But was told when we handed the key in that they would have organized a breakfast sandwich for us to take which was very nice of them. We ate in the pub and the food was great 😊
