Bailiffgate Hotel
Hotel accommodation on Bailiffgate in Alnwick's historic Castle Quarter. The operator provides separate contact points for bedrooms, restaurant dining and private events, allowing guests to plan an overnight stay and meals together. Confirm the room specification, access requirements and restaurant availability for your dates before booking; nearby attractions require their own tickets.
Plan your visit →The Cookie Jar
A small hotel in Alnwick occupying the former Convent of Mercy, with 11 rooms and suites. The building's history is reflected in its different room layouts, while a garden provides outdoor space in warmer months. Private dining has separate arrangements. Check the exact room, access and dining options before booking rather than assuming every suite has the same features.
Plan your visit →The White Swan Hotel
A historic coaching inn in central Alnwick with guest bedrooms and dining. The Olympic Suite incorporates panelling, mirrors and ceilings from RMS Olympic, while Hardy's Bar and Lounge serves more informal food and drinks. The hotel and its dining spaces form one property. Check your room, meal arrangements and any private-event restrictions before booking.
Plan your visit →Grannies Tearoom and Delicatessen
A tearoom, shop and delicatessen in Alnwick town centre. The downstairs tearoom occupies a historic basement retaining features such as stone flooring and old steps. The business sells local food as well as serving refreshments. Check access to the seating area, current opening and menu before visiting, especially if stairs would be a barrier.
Plan your visit →Northern Angels Coffee House
A coffee house on Alnwick's Market Square, serving drinks and food alongside a small selection of gifts. The business also offers workspace hire through separate arrangements. It provides a central refreshment stop while exploring the town. Check current café opening, menu and seating before travelling; workspace bookings do not replace ordinary table arrangements.
Plan your visit →Alno Lounge
An all-day café-bar in Alnwick, part of the Lounges group. The operator provides children's, vegan and gluten-free menus alongside its main food and drinks selection, with games and toys in the venue. Menu availability and allergy arrangements should be checked directly. Confirm current opening and group arrangements before visiting.
Plan your visit →Bailiffgate Museum and Gallery
A local-history museum in a former church in Alnwick's Castle Quarter. Two floors contain objects, photographs and audiovisual material about Alnwick and its surrounding district; the gallery hosts changing exhibitions. The museum is volunteer led and has seasonal holiday closures. Check current opening hours and exhibition information before your visit.
Plan your visit →The Alnwick Garden
A contemporary garden in Alnwick with the Grand Cascade, Bamboo Labyrinth, Poison Garden and seasonal planting. The Ornamental Garden and Rose Garden offer contrasting spaces to explore. Special seasonal events and neighbouring Lilidorei have separate arrangements, so check which admission or event ticket you need rather than assuming every experience is included.
Plan your visit →Aln Valley Railway
A standard-gauge heritage railway on the outskirts of Alnwick, restoring the former branch line towards Alnmouth. Trains run on selected operating dates, with a walking and cycling route alongside the railway. The site is closed to the public on other dates. Use the railway's published timetable and ticket arrangements to plan a visit rather than assuming daily trains.
