Easy to find and check into. Plenty of communication from the owners about the process. Very good value for money, comfortable room. Close to many restaurants in town and Alnwick Castle just behind it. Free parking close by.
Featuring free WiFi and a terrace, The Cookie Jar (Alnwick) was formerly the Convent of Mercy, and is just 0.2 miles from the center of Alnwick.

Words really fail me to explain how special this property was. The attention to every single detail was exquisite. I’m a professional organizer. My business is details. I’ve never seen anything like this. Everything - even the lights on the floor that automatically come on when you walk into the bathroom - was planned perfectly when this former convent was remodeled to make a sacred space for all its guests. There was even framed sheet music in the halls to, I assume, pay homage to the beautiful music that must’ve once graced the hallways.
The staff was so warm and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was like something out of a Veranda magazine spread. The breakfast was delicious.
At every turn in the hotel and the room itself, we were met with a delightful and unexpected experience.
Who puts this much thought into a public space? The Cookie Jar does. You made our once-in-a-lifetime trip unforgettable.
We would like to introduce you to The Tempus at Charlton Hall Estate, a decadent place where colors collide, and imaginations are captured.

Fab stay only negative was that I booked this as a surprise and on arrival told if we had not booked a table we could not get food as fully booked which I understand but could have offered to order food still and take to room if needed

The castle and gardens at Alnwick are well worth a visit, for a special treat on a Sunday book a table for the Treehouse restaurant in the Alnwick Garden, we had the Sunday lunch, two of us had the beef and one of us had the lamb, it was the best Sunday lunch that we have had in a long time, we were very lucky as it was fairly quiet, but I would imagine that it gets very busy in the Summer with the fine weather.

Alnwick Castle - and Gardens - and both very impressive and the castles interiors are amazing. It is close to the wonderful Northumberland coast which, although it can be a little cold, on the fine days which we had were brilliant, especially around Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh Castles and up to Lindisfarne/Holy Island as well as the Farne Islands. There were major roadworks in the town centre of Alnwick when we visited but think these will complete in next few days. We did not visit Alnwick itself, just drove through.

Alnwick is a good place to visit and is an ideal base for exploring the area.
There are a number of good restaurants and cafes.
Alnwick Castle is worth a visit, but don’t bother with Alnwick Gardens as they are small and over priced.

This was our first visit to Alnwick and we've fallen in love! There were so many intriguing and characterful shops to explore and we were spoilt for choice for lovely places to eat. We would whole heartedly recommend eating a SherKhan - some of the best curry we've ever had - and also The Adam and Eve.
Dirty Bottles is a fab venue, great for a drink but would skip the very averge food next time.

The castle and gardens were closed but we have been in them before and so we were not disappointed. A walk along the river at the back of the castle is very nice and a good test of your waterproofs and footwear. Hulne park has good walks. Alnwick is a beautiful town. Berwick and Morpeth nearby, complement the area.
We stayed at a brand new hotel called The Tempus on the Charlton Hall Estate. Charlton Hall is now only run as a wedding venue. The Tempus is a beautiful hotel with state of the art technology for controlling room lights, temperature in the room, etc. The decor is colourful and flamboyant with a fun vibe and tastefully done. The dining room is cheerful and the bar cozy. The food was excellent. There was also plenty of parking, a necessity as it is out in the country. I would highly recommend a stay at The Tempus.
Location was perfect just behind Barter Books and near enough to walk to Alnwick Castle and Gardens plus everything else Alnwick had to offer.
Hosts and flat were lovely and every need was catered for in the property. There was a lovely welcome pack left for us plus milk and a bottle of prosecco, which was a really nice touch.
Beds were comfortable, furnishings were tasteful and there was plenty of hot water for baths and showers; the flat was also lovely and warm. We would definitely book again
Lovely spacious flat, quirky interesting decore which we loved, well equipped and very homely plus pool table and games a great addition. Fantastic location lots of cafes restaurants literally on the door stop, did a bit of Xmas shopping in the gift shops, castle 5 mins walk, lovely wild unspoilt beaches nearby. So much better value than the hotels. Thanks for the chocolates too much appreciated after a very long drive from London.
The location is close to the Castle grounds and the poison garden! We were keen to see the gardens. The centre of town is a short walk up the road and the book exchange is nearby too.
The bar was friendly and gave good service, breakfast, served on the first floor, was really good. We opted to stay in for dinner too, good quality food delivered by cheerful staff.
We were very happy that the carpark was there and very close by.
Room was large and comfortable. Cosy bar area to sit and chat with a drink. Menu limited but meals we had were adequate and tasty. There was a large conservatory and outdoor eating area at the back of the hotel. Location was great, just out of town but an easy walk into the city centre. Alnwick castle and gardens close, and an easy drive to Bamburgh and Dunstenburgh castles. Beautiful country side.
Fantastic location in heart of historic area right next to Alnwick castle yet only a short walk from supermarket and bus station. Well appointed spacious apartment with a few quirky details e.g. guitar and old records which I liked as it made it feel homely. Definitely plan to stay again.
Excellently located in the centre of Alnwick, Tate House has everything needed for a comfortable stopover. The private parking being across the road behind the Plough. It's quiet at night, modern and smart and it's cleaned to a sparkle.
Nice and clean room. Pretty basic, feels on a par with a travelodge or similar chain. Easy walk to Alnwick town however that's not much to get excited about - if you are expecting old a quaint, then look elsewhere.
A very friendly hotel. Helpful staff. Good breakfast. Perfect for disabled people too with a lift and wide door. An automatic door would be the icing on the cake as so many doors to get through for the driver!
Proximity to Alnwick castle and gardens.
Not having to use the car once parked at the hotel.
Historical links with the ship “Olympic” and the beautiful dining room which came from that vessel.
Good breakfast
Welcome pack provided cereals & more which was most appreciated. Location was ideal as only short walk into town & to Alnwick castle. Local area & beaches short drive away. There was nothing to dislike
Great place. Very comfortable. Very good breakfast. Lovely host. Ideal location for the town, castle and gardens. Felt very at home and cannot recommend it highly enough. We will definitely go back.
Perfect location for exploring Northumberland. Very short walk to town centre and castle. Good size rooms and nice bedding and towels. Pretty much everything we needed was available in the house.
Large room/bathroom. Easy parking. Quick and easy to get to room 3 on ground floor.
Easy to find hotel and close to Alnwick which was where we were going to spend a whole day - at the castle.
Gorgeous cottage in a great location. Easy parking on-road and walkable into Alnwick. Great base for everything around you, and everything you need for a comfortable stay.
We had a room in the annex which was very quiet considering the hotel’s location on a busy road junction.
