We had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel in Alnwick, with clean and comfortable rooms that featured charming decor. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from attractions like the castle and gardens. However, the lack of breakfast options was a downside, and the traffic noise was noticeable, especially if you prefer to keep the windows open at night.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, with nice touches like biscuits and fresh milk. However, the room got quite warm, and I struggled to cool it down. The parking situation was a bit tight, but overall, a very enjoyable experience.

I recently had a wonderful stay at the Bondgate Boutique, where everything felt just right. The rooms were spotless and beautifully furnished, though the bathroom could use a slight upgrade to keep the charm going. The location is fantastic, allowing us to explore Alnwick with ease. While I appreciated the little touches like complimentary biscuits and chocolates, the ensuite could have been better, which slightly affected our overall experience. Nonetheless, I would return in a heartbeat!
