kitchen

Despite the fact that it had  changed hands in the previous few days, I was more than happy with my stay: the room was spotless, warm on a cold night, and the excellent Reese managed to organise a FEB for me, despite my having been told the previous evening that the kitchen would be closed.
Would definitely stay there again.
Only downside was that due to the changeover the restaurant was closed, but Alnwick is not short of eateries.

Does what it says on the tin.

On arrival we checked in at the empty bar area. Taken to our room, the bonny lad by the staff. Room was so small that we with cases and the staff member couldnt all get in! Cosy/ boutique or just tiny?
Initial thoughts were how disappointing.  This only got worse after using the bathroom.  Sink and floor tiles cracked,  toilet seat broken and delamination, shower head holder broken ( replaced next day).
Generally clean but with no curtains only blinds you get light in all night due to entrance after 11pm is via a rear fire escape which is lit and runs directly outside the window.  
Cobwebs and general filth behind the blinds are not what I'd expect at this price. 
We didn't eat any meals in the hotel as there's plenty of places to walk to for a better choice. 
Excellent position to explore Alnwick but needs a good clean and simple maintenance. 
Wouldn't recommend 

Disappointing 

We were very disappointed with this hotel.  It looked wonderful but failed to live up to expectations.

The staff were surly, verging on rude.  On arrival, we were told we were on the top floor and there were no lifts.  I struggled to carry my case up and only when we arrived at the top floor did she offer any help.  We were told the wrong time for breakfast and when the staff member couldn’t work the payment device, she said you’ll have to pay later. At breakfast on first day, we didn’t even get a good morning from the waitress 

For the price we paid, I would expect breakfast to be included, but that was extra.  There was no Wi-Fi provided - we had to log into the cloud, Sharing lots of personal information which no doubt will result in unwanted spam.

To be fair, the location is perfect for the town and castle and the rooms clean and comfortable, although it was not serviced on the first day and you had to remember to clean your teeth before flushing the loo or you didn’t get any water from the tap.

If you returned after 11pm you had to use the rickety steep fire escape staircase outside.  This was very dangerous and I cut my foot on one of the steps.

I will not be back and recommend no one else books into the Plough either.

Over priced, dreadful service

Parking is at the rear of the property, Check in is at the bar in the downstairs pub. The barmaid escorted us to our room, she was a bit vague with the info regarding breakfast etc but we got the jist of it. 

First impressions are a nice clean, well decorated room and hotel, nothing fancy but nice enough. The room has everything you could need, TV, En-suite shower, fan, kettle and a nespresso machine.

If staying out later than the pub closes you access the property at the rear using a fob system to get in, as there are no staff present through the night.

Breakfast is in the first floor restaurant area and has to be paid for in the morning. 2 breakfasts, 2 brews and an orange juice cost us £25 on top of the £140 we paid for the room on a Sunday night, the breakfast wasn’t that great and is the only reason I didn’t give a 5star review. £165 total for a room and breakfast is a little too much for a Sunday night in standard hotel. 

We only booked this as we had been let down by our original booking at the last minute and there were no other rooms in the town. I probably wouldn’t of booked at that price if I had other option’s available to me.

Nice enough but a little pricey

A great weekend overnighter ideal for Alnwick Town Centre and a short walk from the Alnwick Gardens and Barter Books.   Very minor wear to the rooms but super cosy.  Great breakfast to set you up for the day and really helpful friendly staff.  Great well stocked bar but not party central (which is exactly what you want).

Great Short Break Location - Helpful and Friendly Staff

Stayed here for 2 nights with friends, Alnwick is such a lovely little town and this place complements it perfectly. Lovely cozy bar all fitted out with warm comfy sofas and chairs, perfect place to spend a few hours in the PM before dinner. Cracking breakfast choices and the full English was really good - smashing restaurant as well. Best bit was the warmth and hospitality of the hosts. Rooms big and comfy, we had a queen bed which gave us a cracking nights kip

Very warm welcome and hospitality in this cozy pub with rooms

Lovely room. Great location and parking.
Food was excellent. Breakfast isn't included. 
A little bit too edgy on the bill.
Staff tried to charge us different prices to the menu claiming it was out of date! Added £9 to a £73 bill.
They were quite stubborn when we refused to pay the extra!!

Great hotel be careful with the bill

Great stay one night only probably some of the friendly staff on the planet. Few  gripes: the telacup oh my good god, no need for a tea bag. Realy horrible it takes zero to clean a cup. We had planned on breakfast but decided to not based on the cups. The shower ceiling mouldy again not necessary. One odd thing about the bathroom the shower gel and shampoo location 2m from the shower very strage. All said would we day here again, yes.

Great few tweets needed.

We held our breath as we squeezed through a particularly narrow entrance, but parking on site is a bonus!
What a beautifully lovely hotel. It was fabulously well decorated-tasteful & stylish, clean & modern-the bar, restaurant & room & even the terraces outside. We were wonderfully looked after by all staff & both meals we ate in the evening were superb. 
The reason I marked the hotel down was the fact it wasn’t cheap, but we had to pay for breakfast; that & the fact the shower was pathetic….shame. Everything else was perfect.

GB Adventure Days 4&5

We enjoyed a meal only one evening, but the service was excellent, the menu gave us an excellent selection of dishes to choose from.  The staff coped very well in a full restaurant. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
