Newly Opened Hotel Opposite Castle
Stayed for 3 nights recently. The hotel is very nice and clearly new. Style and furnishings are modern without being pretentious. Centrally located for town centre and castle. On site restaurant was great but there are also plenty of options nearby.

Great service, fantastic hotel
Fantastic and relaxing hotel. We stayed for our 20th wedding anniversary and thoughly enjoyed our time with you.
The room we had was fantastic, clean and had everything you could wish for. The private balcony overlooking the castle made it even better and all of the staff were friendly and very helpful.
Unfortunately we didn't have a chance to eat in the restaurant in the evening due to wanting to tick the Treehouse off our bucket list but the breakfast was fantastic.
Next time we shall definitely try the evening menu.

The perfect romantic getaway
Beautiful hotel with a idillic location beside Alnwick castle and a short walk from the town centre. Room was spacious and luxurious and loved the tick down service at night. Bathroom modern with Jo Loves toiletries and enjoyed the coffee and shortbread on the terrace. The different bars all offered something unique but the Garden Room looking at the castle was my favourite. Lovely attentive staff.

7 stars
Within 5 minutes of entering this hotel, myself and my partner both agreed that we would be back. This hotel is absolutely stunning and the staff can't do enough for you. The room is clean, beautiful and homely and the views are amazing. Breakfast was awesome too and the location is right opposite the castle. The whole of the town is flat so really accessible. We only stayed for one night and we wish we'd have been able to stay longer!

Impressive
The staff were very attentive, especially Sam. On the downside, we suspect ongoing maintenance will be required for very minor things like the toilet roll holders and in our room the wardrobe door didn’t fully shut, so the light shone through; and I wasn’t overly impressed by the breakfast. In spite of those extremely minor issues we would love to stay again. It’s a lovely and impressive hotel in an amazing location - and the focaccia is to die for!

Great hotel in Alnwick Northumbria.
Great 2 night stay at Bailiffgate. Tracey checked us in and was very helpful and welcoming, even helping with our bags (we arrived late in the evening) up to our room. I’m disabled so it was very helpful. The hotel is beautiful, an elegant modern extension to a period building. Very comfortable king bed, super bathroom with a walk-in shower.
Wonderful breakfast. The hotel is right by Alnwick Castle and Alnwick is a very walkable town with lots of interesting shops.

Wonderful Hotel
We really enjoyed our stay at Bailiffgate Hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean. The new refurbishment was excellent and the room had everything you needed for an enjoyable stay. The hotel is situated in a quiet corner of Alnwick overlooking the castle and yet only 5 minutes away from the town centre. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We shall definitely stay there again.

Beautiful new place. The room was very nice, shower very spacious. Had afternoon tea here as well and it was delicious, with a great view of the castle. You can relax with hot or cold drinks outside in the courtyard after a day out. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
