Alnwick B&Bs

The Hogs Head Inn at Alnwick was exactly what we were looking for. Everything was provided for - food, drinks, dogs (made very welcome), parking and a very large, clean. bedroom. It was a drive into town but the facilities the Inn easily made up for that. The staff were super friendly and very helpful - nothing was too much trouble. They made us and our dog very welcome and easily accommodated my dietary needs (gluten free and vegetarian). It was clear it is a good place to work as the staff were always cheerful. Extra tea, coffee, milk etc were available if needed. The room was very comfortable and big enough for us and our dog with space to spare! I cannot find fault with the Hogs Head Inn.

Rushed welcome after a 20h journey however in all fairness it was dinnertime and the restaurant was packed. Within 5 minutes, we were brought to the 2 bedroom unit, given a breakfast card to fill out for the next morning and left to ourselves to ohhh and ahhh at the coziness and cleanliness of all of the spaces within. Plush white bedding and pillows. Soft thick bath towels. Coffee maker with lots of choices. Cozy welcoming living area with large windows and view to the small park area across the street. Everything worked as it should and we had no issues at all. The location is second to none. A few steps away from the castle and the pretty town shops yet quiet and peaceful. We were there for 2 nights and had all of our meals at their gorgeous welcoming restaurant. Every single meal was ordered quickly, brought to us quickly and served with a friendly smile and a bit of a chat. And the food was so good! … I mean, really really delicious and surprisingly fair priced. I cannot recommend them enough, for lodging and food and location. The rest of our trip lodgings and meals were constantly compared to Dirty Bottles and hands down, nowhere came close even though of all of our hotels stays, this was by far the lowest priced.
