The Hog's Head Inn

A family-friendly, dog-friendly inn on the edge of Alnwick, set slightly back from the town centre with its own parking.

It suits visitors who want a relaxed, casual base, including those travelling with dogs or children, rather than a formal town-centre hotel. On Hawfinch Drive, it's a large, two-floor property and one of the most-reviewed hotels in this guide, with a 4.2 rating from close to 1,800 Google reviews. It has a lift, 24-hour reception, and family rooms with en-suite bathrooms and step-free access, plus a kids' meal menu and packed lunches available. Parking is free on site.
