Great little night away
We arrived early and the room was ready so we got straight in. When we walked in we all just went wow, we weren't expecting so much space and such a quirky room steeped in character and fun. There were 3 of us and we all got our own bed as there was a hidden pull out bed under the sofa and they all turned out so comfortable, once my head hit the pillow I didn't wake up until the following morning which is unheard of for me.the bathroom was huge and amazing.i couldn't fault this property. We were there for a cinema showing in Alnwick castle and found the castle was a 2 minute walk round the back of the pub which was perfect. We loved that the pub was haunted but unfortunately didn't see any ghosts..

The property is certainly quirky, and not quite what we expected, but not in a bad way, just different. Food was excellent, and the portions are ginormous. staff are all lovely, and wonderful to talk to. Absolutely love the local accent, could listen for hours. No complaints at all.

Quirky
Beautiful, atmospheric, quirky period hotel with tasteful touches referencing it's association to "Harry Potter". The staff were all attentive & friendly. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. Our room "Bondgate" was very comfortable with a gorgeous bathroom, & roll top bath. Highly recommend.

Boutique hotel standard rooms above a restaurant
This is a restaurant that has very recently started offering accommodation so everything is new and spotlessly clean. The attention to detail is impressive. Our room and bathroom were both large and well thought out. The person making the decisions has an eye for detail and design. The location is perfect for a visit to Alnwick town and castle, and the surrounding countryside and beaches. It was a great experience staying there, and the food's good too.
