One of the friendliest hotels - One of the friendliest hotels we've stayed at. Lovely, helpful staff. Large comfortable bedroom and bathroom and delicious breakfast. We had dinner in their bistro on all three... read more nights and every meal was excellent. Great location just minutes walk from the castle.
August 3, 2024Perfect wedding weekend 10/10 - Absolutely 5 star.
We stayed here for 3 nights the weekend of 25th May. We booked the hotel for our wedding that we were having at the Alnwick Garden, so... read more that our immediate family and wedding party could all stay together.
What can I say, all the rooms are stunning, fabulously decorated. Myself and my husband stayed in the Chapel room which was so beautiful.
The garden is fantastic, it was perfect for everyone to relax in, and the kids to play and soak up the sun.
Celie and the whole team were absolutely amazing, they could not do enough for our stay and made it feel like a real home from home. They even arranged a family style buffet the evening before the wedding so that we could all celebrate together and the food was an absolute hit with adults and kids alike.
Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend so perfect, we cannot wait to come back on our anniversary!
July 24, 2024Another wonderful stay at the Cookie Jar - Yet again we had a wonderful stay at the Cookie Jar. This is my favourite hotel to stay in Alnwick. Immaculately clean, comfortable beds fantastic showers with Penhaligon... read more toiletries. Homemade cookies left in your room with tea and coffee making facilities.
Super friendly staff. Fabolous breakfast.
Thank you once again.

Would be happy to return. - We really enjoyed our stay at the Cookie Jar. Location is fantastic, right beside the castle with a choice of pubs and restaurants less than 5 minutes walk away. The... read more hotel gave us a permit that allowed us to park outside, we never had problems finding a space but parking isn't reserved for the hotel and there are only limited spaces available.
Our room – one of their less expensive ones- was lovely, clean, well furnished with a large effective shower. Tea, coffee and signature jar of cookies were refreshed each morning. We usually spent part of the evening in the lounge/library where you can sit and have a drink brought to you.
Happy to recommend the food, everything seemed high quality with wide range of choice at breakfast. We ate there once in the evening, again very good meal.
Special mention to the staff there, everyone we met appeared to take pride in their role, being pleasant and truly helpful. Would be happy to return.
June 17, 2024Wonderful anniversary stay - We stayed here for one night to celebrate our anniversary with our dog whilst visiting the nearby Sonnet restaurant.
The hotel building is first class, a wonderful old building... read more but tastefully modern inside and classy touches throughout with a nod to its history.
Our room, Alnmouth on the third floor was perfect. Lovely, huge, comfy bed, immaculately clean and a wonderful bathroom. The shower by the way, is the best I have ever used in a hotel.
The staff were so friendly from check-in to check-out.
The location is absolutely perfect, just far enough to be tucked away peacefully, but close enough access anywhere in Alnwick centre by foot too - the castle is on the doorstep and the town centre it's self a short walk away from it's pubs and restaurants.
We loved our stay here, and highly recommend here if you are planning a stay in Alnwick.
June 10, 2024Tranquil harmony in blue and white surroundings - I’m delighted to have found this amazing little hotel after googling options for an overnight stop off in Alnwick. It’s absolutely spot on. A perfect location for visiting the castle,... read more with easy parking, and within easy access to the shops, pubs, and other attractions in Alnwick.
The rooms are big with stylish decor, comfy beds, and gorgeous fixtures (especially in the bathrooms).
All members of staff we encountered were friendly, helpful, and more than happy to offer advice for visiting the local area.
The restaurant is a must visit too. We loved both our dinner and breakfast. Choices were excellent and the meals themselves were tasty and well cooked.
Honestly, if you need to stay in Alnwick you’d be daft not to book in here.
