Alnwick Lodge offers a unique and charming experience with its quirky decor and welcoming atmosphere. The presence of friendly animals and the lovely courtyard add to the appeal, but some rooms can be cramped and lack privacy, which may not suit everyone. The breakfast is delightful with home-made options, though it's served without a menu, leaving guests in suspense about what they will receive.

I had a delightful stay at Alnwick Lodge, where the atmosphere was warm and quirky. The rooms were filled with charming antiques, making for an enjoyable experience. However, I wish there had been a vegetarian breakfast option. The lodge's location is perfect for exploring local attractions, although my elderly parents benefitted greatly from the ground-level accommodations arranged by Evelyn.

I had a unique and interesting experience at this lodge, which really stands out for its quirky decor and friendly animals. The breakfasts were delightful and featured a good variety, but my stay was somewhat marred by communication issues and minor maintenance problems in my room. Overall, it was a fun place to visit, but some aspects could use improvement, especially regarding service consistency.

My experience at Alnwick Lodge was overall very positive, with its unique and quirky charm truly standing out. The quirky decor of the rooms made each day feel special, and the communal dining area was a lovely way to start the mornings, even if the breakfast experience had its ups and downs. I found the location to be convenient for exploring the nearby sights, but it's worth noting that noise from the A1 could occasionally be heard. All in all, it's a delightful place with its character and inviting feel, but some aspects could use a bit of fine-tuning.

My stay at Alnwick Lodge was a delightful experience, thanks to the warm welcome from Evelyn and her team. The quirky room designs filled with antiques added a charming touch to our visit. The breakfast was delicious with a good selection, but I did wish for some vegetarian options. On the downside, while the location provided easy access to local attractions, it was a bit removed from dining options in the evening, which might not suit everyone.
