The Cookie Jar

The cookie jar is excellent. My wife and I throughly enjoyed our stay here!

I’m delighted to have found this amazing little hotel after googling options for an overnight stop off in Alnwick. It’s absolutely spot on. A perfect location for visiting the castle, with easy parking, and within easy access to the shops, pubs, and other attractions in Alnwick. The rooms are big with stylish decor, comfy beds, and gorgeous fixtures (especially in the bathrooms). All members of staff we encountered were friendly, helpful, and more than happy to offer advice for visiting the local area. The restaurant is a must visit too. We loved both our dinner and breakfast. Choices were excellent and the meals themselves were tasty and well cooked. Honestly, if you need to stay in Alnwick you’d be daft not to book in here.

The property was lovely, the room great ,apart from having to go out down to ground floor from second floor for milk, also a mat by room door would be useful, had to enter with dirty shoes. Also maybe a few more draws as some of the furniture not suitable for storage.

The Cookie Jar is a little gem of a hotel In Alnwick. We love Alnwick but this by far the best place we have stayed. Our room had every need catered for. Excellent food and great breakfast. Staff very helpful. Special thank you to Caitlin. Delicious cookies.

From check in to breakfast we have been made most welcome by the friendly attentive staff. We were upgraded on arrival to the Holy Island room which is one of the nicest rooms we have stayed in. Will definitely look to come back possibly in the summer to enjoy the garden/ patio area.

Visited for afternoon tea and fizz - a gift from a close friend. We cannot speak too highly of the Cookie Jar and will definitely be back. Lovely, friendly staff and wonderful food. One afternoon tea had to be gluten free and was excellent, as was the standard one. Got to look around some of the bedrooms as well - very nice.

Everything about our experience here was fantastic. The booking experience through their website was very straight forward including listing a special request for our stay. From arriving, the staff were friendly and very professional. We traveled for my partners birthday and in the room we received some small extra touches that made her stay and birthday that much more special. The beds are very comfortable and the room itself was fantastically designed and very clean. Personal highlight was the shower! Breakfast in the morning was very nice too and set us up for the day perfectly. Also, with its proximity to central Alnwick, the location couldn’t be much better either. Highly recommend the cookie jar and we will be back!

After seeing George Clarke talk about this fantastic boutique hotel, we knew we had to book an evening as we were travelling up to the east coast of Scotland for a wedding. A fantastic, central location with views of the magical Alnwick Castle, everything about this boutique hotel felt incredibly well thought out; combining high-class, expensive, quality furniture, while keeping a relaxed, genuine family-owned a**osphere. As soon as we arrived we had a friendly northeast welcome and the staff were incredibly thoughtful and helpful throughout our stay. In the evening, we sat down to one of the best 3 course meals we've ever tasted for my dad's birthday. A great array of choice on the menu and as the four of us all had different dishes, the fact we all described the food as delicious in every bite, is a fantastic compliment to the chef and their team. Within the room, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the shower was very impressive (and powerful water pressure, hard to come by usually in a hotel) and it was lovely to see that the hotel have fully embraced their history with a booklet of the story of 12 Bailiffgate in each room. It's not just the bigger things that have been done incredibly well, but it was the actual cookie jar filled with cookies that was the cherry on top of the cake. We will definitely be back! Thank you all.
