Guest Reviews
- Susan Jane (10/5): Very nice historic pub - Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast.
- Jeremy (10/5): Fun bank holiday weekend in Alnwick - Big rooms, lovely staff, central location, busy pub.
- Melanie (10/5): Great stay - Great staff at check in. Great pub for food. Lovely room. Free standing bath is always a bonus.
- Anne (10/5): - Great place - comfortable and convenient! Nice staff too. Highly recommend!
- Alison (10/5): Great little night away - We arrived early and the room was ready so we got straight in. When we walked in we all just went wow, we weren't expecting so much space and such a quirky room steeped in character and fun. There were 3 of us and we all got our own bed as there was a hidden pull out bed under the sofa and they all turned out so comfortable, once my head hit the pillow I didn't wake up until the following morning which is unheard of for me.the bathroom was huge and amazing.i couldn't fault this property. We were there for a cinema showing in Alnwick castle and found the castle was a 2 minute walk round the back of the pub which was perfect. We loved that the pub was haunted but unfortunately didn't see any ghosts..
- Bryan (10/5): Service - Great staff and service.
- Fran (10/5): Visit to Alnwick Gardens - Great room with character. Spacious & clean Very good location with free 24 hour parking near by
- thibault (10/5): - Great location and brilliant harry potter themed rooms!
- Maureen (10/5): - Great location with excellent food options. Staff friendly and accommodating.
- Ed (6/5): - 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.
- Ken (10/5): - 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.
- Brian (10/5): - Unusual property. Very helpful and frirndly.
- Alison (10/5): - 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.
- Mark (10/5): - Quite simply the best place we have ever stayed at. Conveniently positioned in Alnwick with the largest plushest room I have stayed. Food magnificent for its pricing. Staff superb. I cannot fault a single part of our stay.
- Steve (10/5): Historic, comfortable pub with great food - Spacious, comfortable room and a big bathroom. Well equipped, even a big armchair (Clayport room). WiFi strong. Great food and imaginative menu in the pub below. Friendly staff. All round excelent.
- rebecca (10/5): 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.
- Janet (10/5): - Great place to stay. Food excellent. Staff friendly and approachable.
- Ian (10/5): - Everything was excellent, the hotel, the room, the food and the staff Will return
- SHAUNA (4/5): - 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.
- Darren (8/5): - Lovely and welcoming. Thank you for being so hospitable.
- James (8/5): - Fab stay in great hotel located very close to town centre. Relaxed atmosphere, good food and quirky interior. We loved it.
- Timothy (10/5): - A very nice place, lovely comfortable room, very friendly staff. Great location.
- william (10/5): Alnwick trip - enjoyable couple of days…first trip to Nothumbria….lovely. The hotel was a great base…
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hotel stay - Great place
- Leonard (10/5): - The staff were friendly nothing to much trouble. The room was clean, excellent place to stay.
- Derek (10/5): Quirky - Beautiful, atmospheric, quirky period hotel with tasteful touches referencing it's association to "Harry Potter". The staff were all attentive & friendly. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. Our room "Bondgate" was very comfortable with a gorgeous bathroom, & roll top bath. Highly recommend.
- Sandra (10/5): Great winter two night break. - Really good pub. The rooms are warm and comfortable. Some are Harry Potter themed. The pub is an interesting warren so you need to be able to manage your luggage. The food is excellent although portions are huge. The beer and wine were good and the service is friendly. The pub is hard my the castle which is closed mid winter as are the gardens. We followed an interesting town trail and there is a magnificent little museum which illustrates the social history of Alnwick. Alnmouth with its lovely beach is close by.
- george (10/5): 3rd December 2022 - Great find. Excellent food, great atmosphere and beautiful rooms. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place for a cozy weekend away.
- Neil (8/5): Wedding Party - Stayed as a group for my daughter’s wedding. A great quirky hotel full of character. Excellent staff and great food.
- Brenda (10/5): - Very comfortable with friendly staff and an amazing breakfast, will definitely stay here again.
- CHRIS (10/5): All good! - An excellent couple of days in Alnwick. The Dirty Bottle was the perfect springboard for our needs. A top Breakfast-and that Ribs place is well worth a visit. I'm not a massive Harry Potter fan-but the theme was fun
- allison (8/5): - Very good staff were very helpful Room was big and clean Bathroom was clean and well designed
- grant (8/5): - A really funky property with loads of character. It's a grade 2 listed building and was extremely quaint. Hotel was going through a renovation when we stayed so the restaurant was closed - it looked a great place to have an evening meal. Breakfast was very good. Would definitely come back another time - when the restaurant and bar were open.
- Craig (10/5): - This is a fantastic place the only thing is the parking which is free but is on public carparks so security at owners risk
- Andrew (10/5): Recommended stay. - A lovely start to a 5 day break from work for my wife's birthday. Recommend! Lovely meals too.
- Nikki (10/5): Exactly what we were looking for! - Really lovely stay for a birthday weekend getaway. Staff were polite, helpful & friendly. The hotel, bar & restaurant have a lovely atmosphere and the room was perfect!
- Richard (8/5): - A lovely property, with a warm welcome, in the heart of Alnwick town. Good food in the property itself, including a good cooked breakfast, but other options nearby as well. A great base for exploring Northumberland. Our room was beautifully decorated, with real character features including a ‘Chateau’-style bed, Chesterfield armchairs and a small roll-top bath. Our only counter comments was that, due to the age of the property, the room was quite difficult to access, via multiple sets of stairs. The room was also very cold on arrival, and the bathroom smelt rather stale, but these issues were easily rectified, and didn’t detract from our overall stay. We would recommend The Dirty Bottles
- Suzanne (10/5): One night break - Great room, lovely food, friendly staff. Roll top bath, vinyl record player. Brilliant stay
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely hotel with gorgeous rooms - Our room was absolutely gorgeous and beautifully decorated. The Dirty Bottles itself serves lovely food and drinks and is perfectly located. The only slight issue was the noise from the restaurant below, and the street outside, that went on until well past midnight and was fairly intrusive. Other than that a great place that I would recommend.
- Kajomark (8/5): - On arrival to the Dirty Bottles, we entered via the bar area and were greeted by a friendly waitress who checked us in and took us to our room. She gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our stay in this quirky hotel. Our en-suite room was spacious, clean, comfortable with some nice little extras including use of a coffee machine, bottled water and toiletries in the beautiful bathroom. We were on a B&B deal with breakfast served in the bar area. Breakfast is ore-ordered the evening before, which is no problem for us. As there are only four rooms in the hotel, breakfast was a quiet and relaxing meal, which was super quality and tasted absolutely delicious. We found all staff to be very helpful and friendly during our stay. The rooms are accessed by going out the back of the bar and up stairs from a small courtyard, so they are nice and quiet at night.
- Simon (8/5): Pleasant stay - Chose here because en-route to my destination. Extensive menu for food which was good. Service was good all through the stay. Would stay again.
- MrStephenson (6/5): - We asked for a table @9pm and were told they had finished service, yet we were never told this upon checking in ! So we had nothing to eat all night until our breakfast ? Very disappointed in the bar staffs attitude towards us wanting to eat - as we were under the impression the kitchen was open until 10pm - and we weren’t given any other options, not even offered a sandwich ? Plus we had to walk all he way to the Coop to try and buy a parking disc, I would have thought the hotelier would have these at reception to offer to resident staying. For only a pound, you’d think they would have one for each room and simply add the £1 charge - to save guests looking for somewhere to buy them ,
- Jade (10/5): - Lovely place and will definitely be back if we are ever in the area. Staff were welcoming and extremely friendly. The room was lovely and we had everything we needed. Food and drinks were also lovely. Great place!
- Sarah (10/5): Lovely hotel, excellent customer service. - Lovely room, nicely decorated and very clean. Staff service was brilliant, the same male staff member checked us in and was around for breakfast this morning. He was lovely, very welcoming and gave excellent customer service. Managed Covid restrictions very well. Would recommend this hotel.
- Elizabeth (8/5): Good centrally located hotel. - Clearly service curtailed by Covid. Room was very pretty although I found the bed uncomfortable. Bathroom had no shaver charging point (none of the bedrooms has) but location was excellent.
- MICHELLE (8/5): Nice room. - Beautifully decorated and comfortable room. The only downside was being over the bar which was obviously very noisy but the music stopped at midnight. Parking is not available from the hotel but there is free parking a few hundred yards away. Nice breakfast included. Great location next to Alnwick Castle.
- Matthew (10/5): great stay - Absolutely loved the room. Bed was extremely comfortable. Bathroom very well appointed. Had a good meal in the pub downstairs for a very reasonable price. Excellent beer. Would recommend and stay there again
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great - Great stay, great service. Would definitely go again. Information regarding parking is outdated, the dirty bottles inn no longer provide Parking disks.
- Samuel (10/5): Definitely recommend... Thankyou so much! - Everything from start to finish was amazing. From the staff, the room & the breakfast to the condition of the room, everything was 5*. A hidden gem in Alnwick!
- Elizabeth (10/5): Just what we wanted. - Great sport for an overnight stay on the way to Scotland, which was our reason, or as a base to explore the area. Very friendly staff, lovely room , comfortable bed, good food.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Interesting place with some problems. - The room was really good very nicely decorated and comfortable, but access to the rooms is via an outside open staircase - not ideal in November. This really needs addressing. Our room was over the main bar/restaurant area, so the speakers for the music are effectively attached to the ceiling immediately below the room floor. At the weekend the music is on until midnight - if you like it - fine. The staff were very helpful. The food was OK - basically lots of different burgers and some steaks . The location is excellent, parking may well be a problem but when we were there in November it was easy to park. Alnwick itself is a very interesting market town. There are two good Italian restaurants and of course the countryside nearby is stunning. WE had a nice break but I wouldn't rush back to this particular place.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Dirty Bottles cancelled my reservation days before i was to arrive saying my email and credit card info was invalid, despite having been accepted weeks before, and gave me only hours to respond to their email before cancelling which i saw after the deadline had passed. It forced me to find a place to stay last minute when i was arriving for a wedding. Will never recommend them to anyone.
- Michael (8/5): - Lovely place and great facilities. You are asked what you would like for breakfast the next day, there was no pen in the room. Information book was very informative. Bed was lovely and comfy and had plenty of pillows and spare ones. Over all 9/10 for the room. There was dust on the board rail going around the bathroom wall, everything else was very well presented! Well done team!
- guy (10/5): Quick stop - A last minute decision to stop here. A really lovely pub/hotel in an excellent location. The room was excellent although dont book here if you struggle with stairs. All the staff were really helpful and bent over backwards to make our stay enjoyable.
- Angela (10/5): - Perfect overnight stay to visit Alnwick Castle and gardens. Our room was really lovely and very comfortable. The staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend a stay here.
- Gary (10/5): Lovely stay at The Dirty Bottles Inn - Lovely stay at this hotel, it's set right on the heart of the town and theres parking very close by. A very boutique room and finished very nicely. The room also includes free garden passes to Alnwick Gardens which are superb. Really nice food as well, definitely a place to stay.
- Michelle (10/5): Great place - Loved our stay at the Dirty bottles, Team were super friendly, food was great and loved the beer wall Highly recommend
