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.

Birthday Treat

Luxurious hotel with beautiful rooms. Bed was super comfortable and huge. Gorgeous immaculately clean bathroom with rainfall shower and free standing bath. Leigh was so welcoming, helpful and professional. The Bistro staff were also great. Lovely breakfast selection. Great location. Lots to do and see nearby.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely, friendly staff, beautifully decorated, delicious breakfast. Comfortable bed. All the lights flickered in our room periodically, but it’s an old building so I guess that adds to the charm!
Emily, 1-night trip

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Perfect stay

This was our second time at The Cookie Jar and I think we grew even fonder of it than last time. It is just a very special place to stay, with incredibly attentive, confident staff and every detail thought through. This is a gem in a beautiful, historic town - not to be missed!
