Castle Gate

Jo, the owner was super friendly and very accommodating. The location could not have been in a better spot for entry to Alnwick castle, Alnwick gardens and public transport was literally on the doorstep. The family room was perfect for us, lovely decor, clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Jo was very helpful with her knowledge of local places to eat and drink We will definitely return.

1-night stay in Room 4 Arrived for a 1-night stay and stayed in Room 4 for 3 adults. We parked directly out front where there is off road parking for 2 cars (please note that the curb is not lowered to access this). Location was quite quiet overnight which I was surprised about! Owners were very friendly and offered advice and leaflets on places to visit! The interior of the room itself was very modern, however my friend noted that the carpets did not look clean and there was a lot of cobwebs. Only downside for me was the insane amount of midges/small flies in the bathroom, both dead and alive, which flew into the main room everytime you opened the bathroom door. The bathroom really let it down, with the shower being on wooden legs but having no cover over the front (not sure if this was where the midges came from) and the latch did not fully close on the bathroom door which meant you were precariously hoping the door didn't fly open when you went to the toilet. Overall for the price it was still a good stay.

Lovely atmosphere, close to so many activities. We walked over the castle and had a great lunch at a nearby pub.
