I expected this to be a touristy hotel, but it’s a few rooms located over a pub. I was so pleasantly surprised. The room was spectacularly decorated. The TV had access to the Harry Potter movies so we were able to watch one in our room the night before visiting the castle. The provided breakfast was wonderful. 10/10 would recommend and would stay here again.

Absolutely loved this property. In the center of town, so it's easy to walk to shops and there is parking options. Highly recommend. Will try to stay longer next time!

Great hotel in a fab location very attentive staff
Lovely Harry Potter themed hotel and restaurant The Dirty Bottles breakfast was great and we also ate there on an evening generous tasty portions and lovely atmosphere,Staff attentive. we stayed in the chamber really lovely room the only thing was it’s not very sound proof with the adjoining room Dumbledorm we could hear them talking and walking around probably didn’t help that the people weren’t very considerate of other guests. The room could do with a suitcase stand as there was nowhere to put your case other than the floor and the room is big enough to take it. I would also suggest a shelf in the bathroom by the sink so you have somewhere to put your toiletries and be careful in the shower as it leaks on the floor But we loved it and would return great location backs onto Alnwick Castle

Sorted your stay
This was a wonderful place to stay when visiting the castle the staff were so friendly and helpful and our room (the chamber) was lots of fun, complete with sorting hat and the bathroom looked new, my only beware was that there are lots of stairs, which added to the atmosphere but were steep and narrow I would highly recommend

Fab hotel, great location & excellent service and
We loved this hotel, it had been lovingly designed with a cool bar, cosy nooks to dine and drink in and our room was huge with a luxe bathroom with claw foot bath, Elemis products and bath robes. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the location was excellent for town and for visiting Alnwick Castle and Gardens. There are just enough Hogwarts inspired touches without it feeling tacky or twee. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Tasteful
Staff were nice and friendly. The room decor, dark wood furniture and standalone bath made it feel like a more expensive hotel than paid for. There’s a fine bar and restaurant downstairs and free parking nearby. What more can you ask for?

Very good
Loved the room and the atmosphere. The decor was fabulous if you are a Harry Potter fan. The restaurant was good food, not much choice for veggies though. Brilliant if you are a big meat eater. Unfortunately the room was so hot it was uncomfortable. We turned the heating off in the bedroom but we could not turn it down in the bathroom. The breakfast was also lovey. Overall we enjoyed our stay. And would go back.

Lack of Sleep
Walls are paper thin, stayed in the Dumbledorm and didn’t get any sleep as you can hear everything from next door. Food and standard of hotel brilliant but if anyone is staying next door don’t expect any sleep

WORTH IT!!!!
Wonderful little gem - historic site that has managed to keep original features while still being comfortable and modern. The room was incredible - attention to little decorative details and comfort, luxury products and really kind and helpful staff. The food in the restuarant downstairs was VERY good with generous portions. Breakfast was the same - amazing service all round. We will be back!
