Fodor's Expert Review The Cookie Jar
12 Bailiffgate, Alnwick, Northumberland, NE66 1LU, England Fodor's Choice
With sumptuously appointed rooms, a popular bistro restaurant, and convenient location right by the castle, this historic convent-turned-boutique-hotel is Alnwick's most luxurious stay. Each of the 11 rooms are beautifully and individually decorated, but if you have to pick one, make it the Chapel—arguably the holy grail of Northumberland hotel rooms. This stunning (and seriously spacious) suite combines beautiful old chapel features like carved beam ceilings and stained glass windows with modern luxury like a super-soft king bed, drench shower, freestanding bath, 60-inch flat-screen TV, and an Amazon Echo. Even if you don't stay here, pop in for a decadent afternoon tea (Thursday through Saturday) or a delicious dinner.
PROS
- spacious rooms and Alnwick's poshest suite
- delicious cooked breakfast
- housemade cookies in rooms
CONS
- superior rooms are expensive
- no afternoon tea served midweek
- unrelentingly blue decor
