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 town-center stay. Each of the 11 rooms are beautifully and individually decorated, but if you have to pick one, make it The Convent—arguably the "mother superior" 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 (Tuesday through Thursday) or a delicious dinner (Friday and Saturday).
PROS
- delicious cooked breakfast
- spacious and comfortable rooms
- housemade cookies in rooms
CONS
