What a gem of a hotel. Super friendly staff, great rooms, fabulous meals(breakfast and evening) and in a great location for exploring the Alnwick area. Oh, and thank you for 2 fried bread and 2 fried egg for breakfast😀👍.Nice bar area for relaxing in the evening. Good selection of beers and wines. Our group of 12 had a wonderful May day bank holiday weekend. The staff were brilliant. Thank you. Dave.

The room was very clean, cosy and warm. It was nice to have the extra touches in the room, ie the tray of refreshments and also to have fresh milk outside the door. The room was very central for all amenities in Alnwick.
Featuring free WiFi and a terrace, The Cookie Jar (Alnwick) was formerly the Convent of Mercy, and is just 0.2 miles from the centre of Alnwick.

Beautiful decor and furnishings, with everything well thought out. Our room was luxurious and the bed so comfortable.
We loved the jar of homemade cookies!
Staff could not have been more helpful and the breakfast was wonderfully tasty.
The location is right in the heart of the town, close to the castle. Ideal for exploring on foot.
Really couldn’t fault anything.

Perfect location for exploring Northumberland. So close to the sea & set in a fabulous friendly town. Ben & Georgie were perfect hosts, friendly& helpful yet unobtrusive. Great atmospheric traditional pub for post walk & pre dinner drinks. Excellent breakfast to set us up for the day.Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area or indeed wishing to enjoy a few days relaxing.
Originally built in 1818, this beautifully restored country house is set in 10 acres of grounds, 15 minutes’ drive north of Alnwick.

Extremely helpful staff at reception. At check in and check out Luke was particularly helpful and went the extra mile to answer my queries. Beautiful hotel and grounds and very relaxing ambiance with plenty quiet areas like the library and gardens to enjoy. Dinner was in a beautiful dining room and beautifully presented with and excellent menu. Although I was just on holiday it would be ideal for a special occasion too. Because I brought my dog with me we coud have a lovely breakfast in the cocktail bar and staff were extremely helpful and accommodating to do this as part of their excellent pets policy , which with all the little touches in the room was one of the best I've come across. Leisure facilities were very nice too and the grounds were lovely to explore.

Peaceful, comfortable, clean and private. We loved it here. Sitting on the decking watching the sea and the lambs was fabulous. Only a 10 minute walk to the nearest pub/restaurant, a short walk to the coastal path and friendly hosts nearby. We'll be back.

Unspoilt quiet fishing village.
Unspoilt quiet fishing village. Excellent base for walking Northumbrian coast or travelling to Holy Island, Lindisfarne, Bamburgh, Cragside, all of which surpassed our expectations.
Jolly Fisherman in Craster and HorseShoe Inn in Rennington offer excellent local; food and ale. Very friendly staff everywhere.

We have been to Craster for day trips but not stayed in the village previously. It is a small fishing port now mostly a tourist destination for coastal walks especially to Dunstanburgh castle (ruins - dramatic views). Most accommodation is within 2 minutes of the sea and many have a sea view which is of a rocky shoreline but super views and very atmospheric.
The England coast path passes through the village so there are super walks South to Howick (visit the Hall if you can - home to Earl Grey of tea fame) or North to Dunstanburgh Castle and Newton by the sea (Ship Inn a legend in beer and food locally).
There is one pub in the village, the Jolly Fisherman, which is excellent for beer and food; and is opposite the famous Robson's smoke house (for kippers etc). There are also a couple of cafes in the village and occasional buses daily if you want to plan excursions without the car.
As a base for visiting all of the Northumberland coast and towns such as Alnwick, this is a lovely spot, and is much quieter than nearby towns such as Seahouses which can be a bit noisy. We have been in the summer when it has been a lot busier but this time we went off season and it was much quieter.
If you want lovely coastal views, good walks with food and drink nearby, and a bit of peace and quiet, this might be for you, especially if you visit off peak season.

Quiet and refreshing.
Very close to the sea.
Smell of kippers.
Not over developed or commercialised though many of the cottages are for rent.
Amazing sunsets.
Take boots and coats but surprisingly dry.
