Convenient Parking Access

Parking was a breeze at the Plough Inn next door. Although the entry was a bit narrow, with patience, it was manageable. I appreciated having secure parking available during my stay.

Large TV Delight

The large TV in my room brought some added comfort during my stay. I loved having access to various Freeview channels, making it great for unwinding in the evenings after exploring the area.

We had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel in Alnwick, with clean and comfortable rooms that featured charming decor. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from attractions like the castle and gardens. However, the lack of breakfast options was a downside, and the traffic noise was noticeable, especially if you prefer to keep the windows open at night.

I recently had a wonderful stay at the Bondgate Boutique, where everything felt just right. The rooms were spotless and beautifully furnished, though the bathroom could use a slight upgrade to keep the charm going. The location is fantastic, allowing us to explore Alnwick with ease. While I appreciated the little touches like complimentary biscuits and chocolates, the ensuite could have been better, which slightly affected our overall experience. Nonetheless, I would return in a heartbeat!
