Staying in Alnwick
Alnwick is a historic market town in Northumberland, known for its castle and gardens. The 4-star hotels on this list fall into two groups: addresses that name Alnwick itself, and addresses in nearby villages such as Chathill, Chatton, Whittingham and Alnmouth. Distances to the centre range from 0.2 km for Tate House to 20.1 km for The Percy Arms, so the choice is really between walking distance and countryside.
Couples short on time should look at Tate House, Castle View Guest House, Dirty Bottles and Juliet Cottage, all within about 1 km of the centre. Families get more space at The Tempus at Charlton Hall Estate, which has family rooms and a cot, or at The Saddle Bed & Breakfast, which also has family rooms. Business travellers are best served by Doxford Hall Hotel & Spa, with a business center, 24 hour front desk and room service. For a short break with spa, pool and sauna, Doxford Hall and The Tempus stand out.
