“The sense of arrival is immediately striking, with a grand staircase and wood panelling hinting at maritime history, salvaged from the RMS Olympic. Its heart lies in its central Alnwick position, putting the castle and town within easy reach, while parking at the rear offers a practical convenience. Breakfast, served in that impressive Olympic Room, feels like a genuinely special occasion, a delightful start to the day.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Uknorthumberland
