I had a great stay at the hotel with its very large comfy bed making me feel super cozy. The service was fantastic, especially the restaurant manager who went out of their way to accommodate our large group on short notice. The location was ideal, right in the heart of Alnwick, although the noise from early morning restaurant prep was a small downside. The dining experience left me craving more with its juicy burgers, and the facilities were top-notch.

The hotel is situated in the heart of Alnwick, making it convenient to explore this charming old world market town. The rooms offer a large, comfy bed with extra little touches, but some noise from nearby restaurants can disrupt mornings. The service, especially from the accommodating restaurant manager, was exceptional, always going the extra mile to make our stay special. Dining options were satisfactory with well-cooked dishes but missed artisanal bread. Despite the slight noise issue, the central location offers easy access to the town's attractions and the castle.
