Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A 48-bedroom luxury hotel in the historic heart of Alnwick, a few steps from the castle gates. Six dog-friendly rooms open onto the courtyard, and the Motte & Bailey restaurant has selected tables where dogs can sit with you. It suits a town-based stay with castle, garden and coast day trips. The Pastures below the castle are the local dog-walking field.
