Just back from a wonderful stay in Alnwick at The Dirty Bottles. Our room was stunning, cosy and comfortable, the bar was lovely, the food was fantastic, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Thanks everyone, we’ll definitely be back.

The property is certainly quirky, and not quite what we expected, but not in a bad way, just different. Food was excellent, and the portions are ginormous. staff are all lovely, and wonderful to talk to. Absolutely love the local accent, could listen for hours. No complaints at all.

Quirky

Beautiful, atmospheric, quirky period hotel with tasteful touches referencing it's association to "Harry Potter". The staff were all attentive & friendly. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. Our room "Bondgate" was very comfortable with a gorgeous bathroom, & roll top bath. Highly recommend.

Staff were lovely but my goodness one of the worst breakfasts I've ever been served. Left it and just ate some toast. The floor in the bedroom creaked horrendously and the bed made just as much noise everytime I turned over waking my wife.

Boutique hotel standard rooms above a restaurant

This is a restaurant that has very recently started offering accommodation so everything is new and spotlessly clean. The attention to detail is impressive. Our room and bathroom were both large and well thought out. The person making the decisions has an eye for detail and design. The location is perfect for a visit to Alnwick town and castle, and the surrounding countryside and beaches. It was a great experience staying there, and the food's good too.

Great winter two night break.

Really good pub. The rooms are warm and comfortable. Some are Harry Potter themed. The pub is an interesting warren so you need to be able to manage your luggage. The food is excellent although portions are huge. The beer and wine were good and the service is friendly. The pub is hard my the castle which is closed mid winter as are the gardens. We followed an interesting town trail and there is a magnificent little museum which illustrates the social history of Alnwick. Alnmouth with its lovely beach is close by.

Disliked: Staff & service
Our room was gorgeous- but the staff in every area were less than hospitable to the point my husband and I came to the conclusion that their attitudes must come from the top (management). It’s tricky to get to, the stairs and steep to the accommodations (expected for such an old structure), the breakfast was good- service wasn’t. It’s a balanced review I believe- would I stay here again? Probably.
