We had the pleasure of staying at The Cookie Jar in Alnwick last night, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish! The hotel itself is stunning, blending charm and elegance beautifully. Every detail is carefully thought out, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cleanliness was impeccable; every corner of the hotel felt immaculate, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff were truly outstanding—so friendly, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring that our stay was perfect. They went above and beyond in every way, making us feel really welcomed and valued. Overall, our time at The Cookie Jar was simply wonderful, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, well-kept place with amazing service, this is the place to come ❤️

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!

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.

Loved it
Excellent location lovely old building been kept in great condition and maintained well. decorations throughout are to a very high standard nice to see. Staff were excellent and treated us very well. Room was lovely with all the expected accessories and a wonderful walk in shower. Tv that had all the latest apps included. Would love to give it a 5* but feel the dog friendly bit should be explained in a bit more detail ie only allowed in your room not in any other room resulting in us having to have breakfast on own own. Also great to see the existing sash windows been refurbished and working well but on a windy night like last night they rattled so much i ended up putting cardboard wedged in to stop them rattling, small sash window wedges would be handy to stop this . But loved the stay
