The Cookie Jar

A boutique hotel in a converted historic building on Bailiffgate in Alnwick, close to the castle.

The building's conversion gives it a different character from the town's larger coaching-inn-style hotels, and its Bailiffgate address puts it a short walk from both the castle and the marketplace. It's the highest-rated hotel covered in this Alnwick guide, at 4.9 from over 200 Google reviews. Rooms are en-suite with family options and step-free access, and there's a garden and outdoor seating alongside the restaurant and bar. Dogs are welcome, and parking is free on site.
