We had two nights first weekend in December. After serving at RAF Boulmer 35 years ago this was my first time back to Alnwick. The hotel is next door to... read more the amazing castle and two mins walk from the centre of Alnwick. The rooms, decor, meals and staff are the best I have ever experienced. It was great to discuss the RAF with one of the staff, which we never got to say good bye to him, top bloke. Thank you for making my memorable return to the area so special, we will be back. The Chapman party.

December 6, 2022This was our first visit to The Cookie Jar ( and certainly will not be the last). Everything about this hotel is just perfect!
All the staff are friendly &... read more attentive and are a credit to the hotel.
We stayed in Linhope Spout which is a beautiful spacious room on the second floor. It was extremely comfortable with lovely finishing touches.
We have travelled the length & breadth of the UK over the years with our dog and this hotel definitely stands out as one of the best we have stayed in ( and believe me we have stayed in a few to say the least).
Breakfast was spot on with a wide selection from the buffet, the yogurt/fruit compote pots were amazing.
We can't wait to return to this beautiful part of the world.
See you soon!_bhirstle
