After staying overnight at this wonderful hotel on Saturday 19th of May i have to say it was fantastic, but the icing on the cake was the following morning when I went down stairs for breakfast, I was met by a very well mannered young gentleman which his name was Alex Drysdale. Well what can I say Alex ! Well... More

We stayed here a few years ago and were very impressed and this time returned with my parents for a weekend break, booking 2 rooms. We paid £235 per room for two nights and I'm afraid to say that the size of the room came as a bit of a shock. We had been told a few days before our... More

For a three star hotel, the White Swan really does go the extra mile. I have stayed here a couple of times and everything from the food service to the accomodation has been great. If you do have a problem with anything it is always rectified fairly swiftly. I notice that there are a few moans about not having a... More

The good :- Historic old style hotel with Titanic/Olympic connections. In the heart of Alnwick. 'Bondgate Within' meaning within the town walls. Easy to walk everywhere inc. Alnwick Gardens, a brisk 4 min. walk, door to door. On-site free parking. Lovely public rooms, though the Hardy’s Bistro is in a pleasantly updated style. Good whisky/whiskey choice. Sensible bar prices. Friendly,... More

What a charming hotel! A friend recommended it & we heartily endorse his recommendation. It's within walking distance of Alnwick Castle, the Alnwick Garden & Barter Books, not to mention all the delightful independent shops in this little market town. We spent 3 nights last week in the luxurious Alnwick Suite. The reservations staff had assured us that it was... More

The white swan is very conveniently located just inside the old city gate of Alnwick. The staff were very friendly and extended a very warm welcome to my group of six golfers. They were also very accommodating by offering to move their own cars out of the hotels limited car parking area in order that we could use them. My... More

Went for the deluxe afternoon tea for two only to be presented with two massive plates of sandwichs, a scone and four slices of mini Victoria sponge each! Didn't even come presented on a 3 tier stand. Needed more variety in terms of the cakes. The waiter could have also warned us about the portion size. Rather disappointed with the... More

We stayed over on a DBB basis. OMG - I cant thank the venue enough for such a relaxing experience. We arrived and checked into our very clean and comfortable room. All the little extras that you expect from a high end priced hotel were covered....such amazing value. Later that evening we went down to dine in the amazing Olympic... More

This is, without doubt, my favourite UK hotel. Myself and my husband stayed there for a short break and loved it so much we decided to book our wedding there! The commitment and service from the hotel staff as a whole, but in particular the wedding organiser and master of ceremonies, was just outstanding. We couldn't have felt more special... More
