The only criticism I would have is that our room was a tad noisy due to the proximity of the road. Maybe triple glazing could be considered there, room102. However when I mentioned a faulty light in the bathroom it was fixed within the hour. Will definitely stay in this chain of hotels again.

Lovely place to stay if you have a vehicle but it is a bit far to get into downtown Alnwick and the Castle and Gardens. It is about a 30 minute walk. Uber and cabs are dicey at best. We took the bus, but it only runs hourly. Restaurant was great with a good breakfast that was included. Rooms are nice, but no fridge. The staff we interacted with were very friendly.

Poor catering and sound insulation
Bedroom was comfortable enough but faced the A1 and the sound insulation was inadequate to keep the traffic noise out. Breakfast menu was fine but they ran out of some dishes given the number of guests they had which was poor. Evening menu was limited and the extra fries we ordered were cold, hard and not cooked enough. We had to send them back. We were not offered an automatic refund for this and I had to get it deducted on check out which they did. In short, it was an adequate hotel but they really need to up their game on the catering and sound insulation in the bedrooms.

Great Decor and Reasonably Comfy
We mostly enjoyed our stay here! Loved the decor of the "lobby"/restaurant. The patio was lovely as well. The food was pretty good, and most of the staff was friendly. It's not Harry Potter themed at all despite the name, wish they at least had some sort of butterbeer variation on their menu, that'd do well given Alnwick Castle being so close by! Speaking of which, the hotel is a bit of a jog from all the sights to see in Alnwick so prepare to walk a lot, use a car or use the hotel bus if its during tourist season. The immediate surrounding area of the hotel is not very charming (gas station, business parks, fast food, highway) so you won't be hanging around there very much. The young lady that initially greeted us was a bit gruff and not very friendly, but the gentleman later in the day was very friendly and helpful. There was no air conditioning (that we could find) in the room, but we were able to open the window and that helped a bit.

Decent breakfast with lots of good options for a variety of palettes. Reasonably situated near Alnwick castle. Sainsbury’s and M&S within walking distance and Aldi if you’re up for a longer walk. Tea/coffee and biscuits in the room were a nice touch. A microwave and mini fridge would be a great addition. Better ventilation in the toilets is a must !

It’s a great location with large comfortable rooms and comfortable bed. The restaurant and bar service was poor due to lack of staff to meet needs of busy bar & restaurant. Very busy and noisy M1 close by, with fast EV charger nearby

Good short stay hotel
Just off the A1 near Alnwick, though not close enough to stroll into town. Reasonable rooms although a bit too hot for comfortable sleeping. some traffic noise if you opened the windows. Good for overnight stay with superb help yourself breakfast with fresh orange juice and good coffee. Pillows on the bed were a bit hard.

The hotel is very conveniently situated for touring the Northumbrian Coast and villages. Situated just off A1 it is quite noisy outside but once inside, there is no traffic noise. The room was a good size and very clean. It was also well equipped. The hotel is also very dog friendly , although I think £15 per night, per dog is a bit on the high side. Not keen on the Self-check in, its always nice to be welcomed at the reception desk when arriving but that's a personal preference. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. Menu options were a bit disappointing for vegetarians but I didnt starve! 😂

Very pleasant staff, if anything needed it wasn't a problem. Breakfast was very good, plenty of choices. We ate in on an evening ,but menu was limited, a choice of salad dishes would have been nice instead of chips with nearly everything. Overall a pleasant stay.
