Book a room at The Cookie Jar and experience a little bit of unexpected cookie-ness.

Welcome to The Cookie Jar

Your cosy retreat in the heart of Alnwick, Northumberland. Formerly the Convent of Mercy, this historical building has been tastefully renovated into 11 luxurious rooms and suites, and offers all the home comforts you could need with an added little bit of unexpected cookie-ness.

Sleep like an angel

11 individual bedrooms, with unique character and named from the local area.

All rooms feature signature drench showers, stunning decor, Hypnos beds, deliciously scented toiletries from Penhaligon’s. And of course, home-made cookies.
