10/10 Excellent
"Quirky hotel with an interesting story in the centre of Alnwick. The staff are all lovely and make the customer feel very welcome. Check-in and out is straightforward. The Harry Potter themed rooms are very comfortable and quiet. Super clean bathroom with a great shower and nice toiletries. Great breakfast including full English or continental options. No parking facilities at the hotel but plenty of free 24hrs public car parks within a few minutes’ walk. Would highly recommend!"

The food was really good and the staff attentive. Our twin room was clean and perfect for a 2 night stay. I’d definitely recommend this hotel."

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel, perfectly situated next to the harbour. Although our room was a bit small and looked out to a small yard where the laundry was kept, it was clean and modern. We didn’t try the restaurant but the bar was good and there was outdoor seating to enjoy the views out to sea. The only downside would be the prices but it was school holidays and in a prime location. Also, the car park was very small necessitating in a big cost to pay for parking in a local public car park."
