Staff were lovely but my goodness one of the worst breakfasts I've ever been served. Left it and just ate some toast. The floor in the bedroom creaked horrendously and the bed made just as much noise everytime I turned over waking my wife.

The property is certainly quirky, and not quite what we expected, but not in a bad way, just different. Food was excellent, and the portions are ginormous. staff are all lovely, and wonderful to talk to. Absolutely love the local accent, could listen for hours. No complaints at all.

Just back from a wonderful stay in Alnwick at The Dirty Bottles. Our room was stunning, cosy and comfortable, the bar was lovely, the food was fantastic, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Thanks everyone, we’ll definitely be back.

Lovely and comfortable
Stayed here for 1 night to break up a journey. We didnt arrive until late and the staff were very busy with the dinner service but were kind and helpful. Showed us to our room. Breakfast in the morning was delicious, you had to preorder the night before but lots of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the bondgate room, very nicely decorated and comfortable. Only downside I would say that it was very hot and there was no blanket available as an alternative to a full winter quilt.

Our room was gorgeous- but the staff in every area were less than hospitable to the point my husband and I came to the conclusion that their attitudes must come from the top (management). It’s tricky to get to, the stairs and steep to the accommodations (expected for such an old structure), the breakfast was good- service wasn’t. It’s a balanced review I believe- would I stay here again? Probably.
