Alnwick Lodge

Sehr liebenswerte, originelle Unterkunft in einem aus Ruinen wieder aufgebauten ehemaligen Bauernhof direkt an der A1, aber dennoch ruhig. Ideal für Fahrer von Oldtimern oder selteneren Motorrädern, denn der Parkplatz ist sicher und wird nachts abgeschlossen. Gute Betten, englisches Frühstück ganz frisch und lecker. Sehr gemütliches Kaminzimmer. Einziger Wermutstropfen: In unserem Fall kein direktes Fenster nach draussen. Evelyn, die Dame des Hauses, muss man einfach mögen mit ihrer liebenswürdigen Art und hatte Tipps parat, wo man gut essen kann, wenn man keinen Pub Food mehr sehen kann.

If you love something different, a bit of good honest hospitality, olde worlde charm, then snap up the opportunity to stay at this eccentric gem. Where that personal touch counts and your host takes the time to greet you. We had a lovely stay & perfectly cooked breakfast. It's not without it's issues but we over looked those and just went with the flow.

Really good Campervan stopover place right off the A1. Very quirky place with a lovely owner who was very helpful. Plenty of elbow room and elec hook-up if required. Had loads of hens running around which made my wife feel at home. Unfortunately we parked close to the tree's where they rousted so were awoke by the cockerels at around 6am. No bar so take wine etc.

3 night stay and loved it. Very quirky but gorgeous. Lovely open fire in the main sitting room which had just been lit as we arrived. Stayed in West Granary which is a huge room with loads of space. Breakfast was good, and the shop at the back of the breakfast room has some gorgeous and interesting things for sale. Plenty of parking, and although right on the A1 wasn’t noisy at all - the most noise coming from the cockerels are 06.00 in the morning 🤣

Our accommodation was the calf pen. It was cramped, over heated and lacking in facilities. No natural ventilation. Windows don’t open. No privacy in the room. Couldn’t have door open for air as it’s on a small corridor where other guests pass. Couldn’t have curtains open as people could see Straight into our bed. No caution warnings in bathroom near excessively hot copper pipes. Dangerous health & safety issue. . The room had lots of cobwebs. Dirt and mould near glass windows Towels were rough and had holes. Would be better used as sandpaper ! Carpets dirty. There was no gluten free cooked breakfast or toast which i requested at booking. Communal dining around large tables was dismal on our first morning and like a free for all. You may advertise as quirky but you lack basic cleanliness and standards. All in all would never stay again. We left without eating breakfast the second morning as the intense heat affected my fiancée asthma badly and we could not wait to leave

Very ‘quirky’ accommodation conveniently located off the A1 near Alnwick. Comfortable, spacious ground floor room. Breakfast choice was excellent, with very good service. The table arrangement encourages conversation with fellow visitors. The Lodge is very close to Alnwick itself and within easy reach of the Northumbrian coast.

Al mio arrivo già trovo una signora gentile che mi sorride, e già non è poco! La signora mi attende e si presenta prima di accompagnarmi nella mia camera, che dire le camere sono una diversa dall altra create ad arte in una struttura vecchia (edificio), ma ho trovato tutto perfetto, e molto pulito. La colazione oltre che essere molto buona e un incontro mattutino con altri ospiti molto simpatico.

The location is literally right on the A1, however you don't hear the traffic noise. The location is quirky and interesting. Very convenient for all the attractions near the Northumberland coast. Our big room did not have a shower so make sure you check. The breakfasts were great and the hosts were very welcoming. Not the place to stay for those wanting your average, bland, hotel room.

Stayed here for two nights in August. Was allocated the calf pen room which on first entering seemed ok. However after a very short time we were contemplating checking out and finding somewhere else. The main issue for use was the lack of privacy. The room is down a short corridor from the courtyard but you can actually see into the room from the outside as the wall is glass and therefore had to leave the curtains closed the whole time. The room wasn't particularly clean and there was a lot of mould from damp on the ceiling. The bathroom wall was damp and mouldy and the radiator and door hinges rusty. Shower was far too steep for hubby to get into and the towels if you can call them that were very thin, worn and rough. Breakfast was a bit of a fiasco. Only a available 8-9am and on our first morning had to wait in the lounge as no room was available!! All in all I would honestly say it's one of the worst places I've stayed and really don't understand all the rave reviews. I did email the hotel to give my views but didn't even have the courtesy to respond. Would never recommend to anyone.
