"Hot water ran out in the lodge and we had to call someone to fix it be because the boiler had “tripped”. Got to breakfast which we had paid for to fine it was £2 each extra for a “barista” coffee and £5 extra for smoke salmon and scrambled eggs. We didn’t have either and won’t be going again. Hate places that try to wring extra cash out of you at every opportunity- how much do you want to charge for breakfast ?"

"This is a pleasant hotel located right in the centre of Alnwick, within easy walking distance of the shops, market, castle, and gardens. The building is a former coaching inn and, considering its age, is in very good condition. We stayed for four nights on a bed‑and‑breakfast basis in an executive double room. Parking is convenient and located at the rear of the hotel. Check‑in was quick and straightforward. Our room was spacious and airy, with a comfortable king‑size bed. The bathroom was modern and well maintained. The room was quiet, and we both slept well throughout our stay. Breakfast was acceptable, although we would have preferred freshly cooked hot food rather than the buffet‑style option provided. We ate dinner in the hotel once; the food was fine, but there are better dining options available locally in the town. Overall, the staff were friendly, pleasant, and helpful, and our stay was comfortable."

"Easily the best accommodation of a four-day stay in Northumberland. Everything in the Whittling House makes your trip a little bit better, from lovely staff to beautiful decor, homemade shortbread for the rooms to the comfy armchairs in the bar. Definitely worth the more premium price!"
