Fabulous hotel, unique room, great service & food
We wanted a special overnight stay for our anniversary. The Cookie Jar fit the bill perfectly with the Chapel room. What a beautiful hotel and wonderful service. Handy for Alnwick Castle and town. Would recommend for any special stay.

Beautiful hotel
Beautiful hotel and room, in a great location to visit Alnwick town and Castle. Leigh and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. We didn’t have our evening meal at hotel (though definitely will do on our next visit!) however the breakfast was delicious with a great variety to choose from.

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel and very nice staff. Very conveniently located in the town and for visiting the castle. We gave 4 stars for 2 reasons: 1) although they allow dogs in the rooms, they're not allowed in the breakfast room so they suggested we either left our dog in our room on her own (which we did and she barked continuously) or we breakfast separately - most places have a dog-friendly eating area; and 2) parking is quite a challenge. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

The former convent was an answer to our prayers!
Fabulous stay in a former convent no less! Individually decorated rooms and loads of extra touches to make your stay enjoyable. Excellent service and a wonderful breakfast (the restaurant also serves afternoon tea and dinner - we didn’t sample those but would guess they would also be lovely). The hotel is very close to a pedestrian entrance to Alnwick Castle, so is a great base to explore the castle and gardens. Parking in Alnwick seems to be free everywhere, but take care as some is time limited.

The Cookie Jar Delight
The owner, Debbie, and her staff, Lynn, Lee, Celia, and Ellie were wonderful. They were extremely warm to my husband and myself, making our stay exceptional. The room was clean, spacious with an extremely comfortable bed. The bathroom with the two sinks and large shower was fantastic. Our breakfast every morning included fresh fruit, fancy yogurt, pastries, fresh juice, coffee, tea, and assortment of hot dishes including, if desired, kippers. Alnwick Castle was literally steps from the Cookie Jar. The town itself is delightful. I highly recommend this place. fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries,

The property was lovely, the room great ,apart from having to go out down to ground floor from second floor for milk, also a mat by room door would be useful, had to enter with dirty shoes. Also maybe a few more draws as some of the furniture not suitable for storage.

From check in to breakfast we have been made most welcome by the friendly attentive staff. We were upgraded on arrival to the Holy Island room which is one of the nicest rooms we have stayed in. Will definitely look to come back possibly in the summer to enjoy the garden/ patio area.
