Meals in the pub-restaurant draw strong praise for quality and very generous portions, though breakfast feedback ranges from excellent to a single poor experience. The historic building means multiple stairways and some awkward access with luggage. Best for travelers who value charm and atmosphere over hushed, traditional hotel quiet.

Really good pub. The rooms are warm and comfortable. Some are Harry Potter themed. The pub is an interesting warren so you need to be able to manage your luggage. The food is excellent although portions are huge. The beer and wine were good and the service is friendly. The pub is hard my the castle which is closed mid winter as are the gardens. We followed an interesting town trail and there is a magnificent little museum which illustrates the social history of Alnwick. Alnmouth with its lovely beach is close by.

A really funky property with loads of character. It's a grade 2 listed building and was extremely quaint. Hotel was going through a renovation when we stayed so the restaurant was closed - it looked a great place to have an evening meal. Breakfast was very good. Would definitely come back another time - when the restaurant and bar were open.

A lovely property, with a warm welcome, in the heart of Alnwick town. Good food in the property itself, including a good cooked breakfast, but other options nearby as well. A great base for exploring Northumberland. Our room was beautifully decorated, with real character features including a ‘Chateau’-style bed, Chesterfield armchairs and a small roll-top bath. Our only counter comments was that, due to the age of the property, the room was quite difficult to access, via multiple sets of stairs. The room was also very cold on arrival, and the bathroom smelt rather stale, but these issues were easily rectified, and didn’t detract from our overall stay. We would recommend The Dirty Bottles

Staff here were lovely, but the room and facilities were in bad condition- our shower leaked through to the pub downstairs, there was no grout on the bathroom floor tiles. The staff were really friendly and helpful and moved us into another room. This room was fine but things felt unfinished or of poor quality here too- the shower door here didn’t fully close to seal etc. There were also things missing would expect to see in this price range such as hooks in the bathroom, biscuits with tea and coffees etc. overall a nice stay, great location, and some nice features but not the quality you would expect with the price paid

Stayed here for 1 night to break up a journey. We didnt arrive until late and the staff were very busy with the dinner service but were kind and helpful. Showed us to our room. Breakfast in the morning was delicious, you had to preorder the night before but lots of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the bondgate room, very nicely decorated and comfortable. Only downside I would say that it was very hot and there was no blanket available as an alternative to a full winter quilt.

Staff were lovely but my goodness one of the worst breakfasts I've ever been served. Left it and just ate some toast. The floor in the bedroom creaked horrendously and the bed made just as much noise everytime I turned over waking my wife.

We arrived early and the room was ready so we got straight in. When we walked in we all just went wow, we weren't expecting so much space and such a quirky room steeped in character and fun. There were 3 of us and we all got our own bed as there was a hidden pull out bed under the sofa and they all turned out so comfortable, once my head hit the pillow I didn't wake up until the following morning which is unheard of for me.the bathroom was huge and amazing.i couldn't fault this property. We were there for a cinema showing in Alnwick castle and found the castle was a 2 minute walk round the back of the pub which was perfect. We loved that the pub was haunted but unfortunately didn't see any ghosts..

Beautiful, atmospheric, quirky period hotel with tasteful touches referencing it's association to "Harry Potter". The staff were all attentive & friendly. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. Our room "Bondgate" was very comfortable with a gorgeous bathroom, & roll top bath. Highly recommend.

Our room was gorgeous- but the staff in every area were less than hospitable to the point my husband and I came to the conclusion that their attitudes must come from the top (management). It’s tricky to get to, the stairs and steep to the accommodations (expected for such an old structure), the breakfast was good- service wasn’t. It’s a balanced review I believe- would I stay here again? Probably.

Staff were lovely but my goodness one of the worst breakfasts I've ever been served. Left it and just ate some toast. The floor in the bedroom creaked horrendously and the bed made just as much noise everytime I turned over waking my wife.

Just back from a wonderful stay in Alnwick at The Dirty Bottles. Our room was stunning, cosy and comfortable, the bar was lovely, the food was fantastic, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Thanks everyone, we’ll definitely be back.

Quirky hotel with an interesting story in the centre of Alnwick. The staff are all lovely and make the customer feel very welcome. Check-in and out is straightforward. The Harry Potter themed rooms are very comfortable and quiet. Super clean bathroom with a great shower and nice toiletries. Great breakfast including full English or continental options. No parking facilities at the hotel but plenty of free 24hrs public car parks within a few minutes’ walk. Would highly recommend!

Great location for Alnwick Castle, Gardens and bang in the centre of town. Do research on parking, in travelling by car.
