Thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay in Alnwick. Allocated room 215, quiet, comfortable and spacious at the back of the hotel. Very clean and well laid out. Staff attentive, helpful and very pleasant. Young lady in the restaurant particularly attentive. Food good and very much enjoyed the pickled red onion with the mackerel pâté. It's a busy hotel, in an excellent... More

Went with my son and his wife. A really delicious meal for all of us! As a resident of Alnwick I had a poor view of the White Swan and its facilities but I was very pleasantly surprised by our meal. The service was friendly and helpful and the actual meal was very tasty. Two of us had sesame chicken... More

A well positioned hotel for our business trip to the local and surrounding area. We had two adjoining rooms which were fairly identical in layout and furnishings. Spacious modern room with all the usual amenities and a comfortable bed. Nice modern bathroom and decent shower with good quality toiletries which was especially handy. Wireless Internet was patchy but we were... More

We stayed here for my wife's birthday after seeing a feature on Michael Portillos Great Railway Journeys. The hotel is ideally placed in Alnwick & very close to the castle. We had a deluxe room in the old part of the hotel overlooking the street. The room was very comfortable, bed huge, shower powerful. Our main reason for staying was... More
