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.

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.

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.

All good!
An excellent couple of days in Alnwick. The Dirty Bottle was the perfect springboard for our needs. A top Breakfast-and that Ribs place is well worth a visit. I'm not a massive Harry Potter fan-but the theme was fun

Liked: 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.

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.
