Unique Room Design

The Dovecot Room was a cozy haven filled with quirky antiques that made my stay feel special. Despite its compact size, the room had everything I needed and provided a lovely view of the front gardens, making it feel inviting and unique.

Delicious Breakfast

I absolutely loved the communal breakfast setup! Sharing a table with other guests made the experience feel homely, and the food was fresh and delicious. The eggs were straight from the hotel’s chickens, adding a personal touch that made each meal nice.

Cozy Lounge

The communal lounge area with its log burner was the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The decor created a warm, inviting atmosphere, and it was a delight to relax with a glass of wine by the fire.

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.

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.
