The Hog's Head Inn - The Inn Collection Group

Little Gem at the side of the A1 Alnwick I would definitely the recommend the Hoteland the restaurant is awesome great food

Everything worked very well and would stay again

Lovely large rooms, clean and well equipped

Firstly, in their defence, this is an inn not an hotel. However, at £160 per night, we expected more. During our week's stay only one member of staff bothered to make conversation and at no time were we asked if everything was okay. The breakfast buffet was poor, we frequently had to ask for milk/bread/pastries etc to be replenished. Individual bowls of fruit salad were awash with juice and the same fruit combination appeared every day. There was no plain yoghurt and cereal came in individual boxes. For those who prefer not to have a cooked breakfast it seemed wrong to be charging the same price to all customers. Tables weren't cleared so this resulted in being surrounded by dirty dishes. We eventually discovered the water dispenser at the far end of the bar when you would have expected water to be provided next to the juices. The room was comfortable apart from the overbearing heat. The fan provided was noisy. If we opened the window the noise of traffic on the A1 kept us awake. In spite of the high temperatures no water was provided, so glasses had to be carried up from the bar. Food was mediocre and on one occasion a chicken pie turned out to be beef. The worst issue was the incessant music which it was impossible to escape, even if you went outside; there was no quiet area anywhere. At times conversation was impossible as was trying to read. We left feeling that no one had connected with us or made any effort to make us feel welcome. Overall an expensive mistake.

Staff were all really helpful especially like to thank Kenny
