Crux

We booked the hotel as a special experience for our friends 50th birthday she is a massive Harry Potter fan -on the day we where due to travel storm Bert hit the us and we called the hotel in the morning to ask if they could help us with possibly changing the dates on the reservation-the staff were rude and dismissed us saying the snow was fine there (even though the town of Alnwick had cancelled its festive lights switch on due to the snow and weather warning . So our only option was to risk out life’s and travel the 3 hour car ride from Scotland we ( 4 ladies) got stranded in the snow for 3 hours and where so frightened we contacted the hotel numerous times to explain our situation and where told the mangers on holiday call back on Monday The manager has now messaged us saying tough luck as he doesn’t care about his customer wellbeing or safety

Die Unterkunft ist nur ein paar Schritte vom Alnwick Castle entfernt und mit unglaublich viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Harry Potter Fans kommen hier auf jeden Fall voll auf Ihre Kosten. Unser Zimmer ebenso wie das Badezimmer waren groß, sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und auch das Restaurant ist zu empfehlen. Der Preis ist zwar etwas höher aber man bekommt dafür auch eine tolle Kulisse geboten. Kostenlose Parkmöglichkeiten gab es in der Nähe auf einem kleinen öffentlichen Parkplatz.

Wonderful room, spacious with comfy bed and large bathroom. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was cold, including drinks and toast. That was the only downside. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed at Crux for the weekend so we could visit Alnwick castle. We are both Harry Potter fans and definitely got that feel as soon as we walked in. Stayed in the adventures room, which was amazing. Would definitely recommend staying if your a Harry Potter fan. The staff was amazing too, always there to help. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family

Stayed in the Dark Quarters, amazing room very comfortable bed. Staff are very friendly with good food and drink . Would definitely recommend this little gem to anyone going to Alnwick. Very close walking distance to the castle and gardens.

Wonderful 1 night stay at Crux, we had the Adventurers room. Subtle Harry Potter touches, nothing over the top. Beautiful bathroom, very clean. Loved the bathrobes and great size towels. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. We had a few drinks during happy hour downstairs in The Dirty Bottles, stayed here to eat and that didn't disappoint. Great portion sizes and reasonably priced too. Breakfast was included, again very good quality and plenty to eat. No noise could be heard from other rooms or from downstairs. Great staff and amazing location. Would love to visit again!
