Very good
Liked: The room was clean and nicely decorated. Beds very comfy. Basic facilities, but good value for money. The room felt secure and there was plenty of parking. It is a 15min walk from Alnwick town centre, but it is uphill on the way.
Disliked: Our only suggestion would have been to leave some washing up facilities in the room, and a few extra tea bags or hot chocolates or biscuits in the room would have been a nice touch.

Exceptional
Liked: Warm greeting on arrival. Shown to our room by our host. Were told to just ask if we needed anything. The room was spacious with a good sized en suite. Drank in the bar both nights and had a great time mixing with the locals. All staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again if we are ever up that way again.

Liked: Staff were friendly
Disliked: Booking.com stated toiletries would be included which they were not. however, the were very friendly and extremely helpful specially when I showed you that the booking.com states there would be toiletries available.I have to state that I had requested a quiet room which I repeated when I was shown to the room. I was told it was front facing room but there was minimal traffic and I could shut the window to cut our the noise. Well, the traffic noise did not subside till 1am and started again at around 5.45am. I could not shut the window. The toilet holder was broken the shower hose kept falling down, the bed sheets were rough, I am assuming flannelette or some such. The TV had indoor aerial which meant, the reception was poor. The picture was disrupted every time a car passed. It was impossible to watch anything on the TV. The room was not worth £81. I came late for me to get a good night’s rest which was impossible.
